I. Listening.(2pts)
PART 1: Listen to a passage on The International Day of Persons with Disabilities. listen and fill in
the blank with the word(s) you hear. You will hear the information twice.
The International Day of Persons with Disabilities started in 1992. Now it happens every year. It
highlights issues that are an everyday concern for millions of people around the world. Organizers hope (1)
topromote global understanding of disability issues and recognize the rights and dignity of people with
disabilities. People act in many ways to increase awareness, including (2)organizing events, workshops and
campaigns in support of the day.
Disability affects all societies and almost all families at some time. More than (3)650 million people across
the globe live with disabilities. In richer nations, there are very good support systems for the disabled.
However, in poorer nations, people with disabilities are further disabled by a lack of help, care, medicines and
rights. It is a sad fact that 80 per cent of people with disabilities live in poorer countries. There is a very strong
link between (4)poverty and disability. The situation is also tragic for children. UNESCO says 90 per cent of
children with disabilities in developing countries do not go to school. It is important we act on this day!

The Notice
Attention, all students:
In the past week, several students have been caught violating the school’s dress code. On account of
that, I would like to list which clothes are acceptable and which are not.
Boys must wear long pants and button-down shirts. These shirts must have collars since all boys have
to wear neckties as well. Furthermore, boys must wear either dress shoes or nice shoes. Sneakers, sandals,
jeans, shorts, T-shirts, sleeveless shirts, tank tops, and other similar casual articles of clothing are not allowed.
Girls must wear slacks or skirts as well as blouses. All skirts must go down below the knees of the
students wearing them. Girls may also wear dresses so long as they are not too formal. The clothes that are
prohibited for boys and may also not be worn by girls.
Students who violate the dress code will be sent to their homes to change and be given detentions or
suspensions. Multiple violations of the dress code will result in them being sent to the principal’s office.
We insist that all students comply with the dress code. Should you have any objections to the school’s
dress code, I am willing to speak with you about them.
