The boy ran away after he was rescued. He had been swimming in the river and had caught his foot between two concrete posts under the bridge. He shouted out for help, At the time a young man was riding across the bridge on his bicycle. He quickly got down and dived into the river. He then freed the boys foot and helped him to the river bank where a small crowd had collected. The boy thanked his rescuer sincerely, then ran off down the road. He was last seen climbing over a gate before disappearing over the top of the hill. The young man who was about 20 years of age said, “I dont blame the boy for not giving his name. Why should he? If he wants to swim in the river, thats his business. And if I wanted to help him, thats mine. You can not have my name either.“ He then ran back to the bridge, got on his bicycle and rode away.Questions 11 to 13 are based on the passage you have just heard.11. What happened to the 12-year-old boy?12. What did the young man do when he saw the boy in danger?13. What did the little boy do after he was rescued?Passage TwoResearchers have discovered a link between drinking and thinking.

The moderate drinkers had slightly better reasoning ability than their brothers who drink more or less. Other studies have found that alcohol in moderation can help the heart. But alcohol abuse can cause bone loss and other health problems. This study was presented at an alcoholism meeting in San Antonio.Questions 14 to 16 are based on the passage you have heard.14. What has recent research found about drinking?15. How would moderate drinkers feel about the new research findings?16. Where was the result of the study first made public?Passage ThreeOn Christmas Eve 1971, Julia Smith was taking a flight in Peru with her mother to join her father, a Professor, who was an expert on the jungle and plants and animals living there.
