If you were a college student there are several things you should know about renting an apartment. First, you must know how to look for a place to live. Friends, teachers and other people you

　　meet may know of apartments that are available. You may also find a place to live by looking in a

　　campus or see it in newspapers. In some towns, there are rental agencies that can help you find an

　　apartment, but think carefully about using agencies. Usually they will charge you a fee. You should

　　also walk around and look for buildings with “For Rent” signs。

　　When you go to look at apartments to rent, there are several things you ought to do. First, you

　　should find out if the apartment is safe. Be sure there are good locks on all the windows and doors。

　　It is also a good idea to check all the appliances as well as the water and electricity to be sure everything is working. It might also be a good idea to talk to other people who rent apartments in the same

　　building. This will help you to find out if there are any problems。

　　If you decide to rent an apartment, the landlord would probably want you to sign a lease. This

　　is a legal contract and you ought to read it carefully. You will also need to pay a security deposit. If

　　there is no damage the landlord has to return this money to you when you leave。

　　Questions 29 to 31 are based on the passage you have just heard。

　　Question 29. How many ways of finding apartments are mentioned in this talk?

　　Question 30. What does the speaker advise you to do to make sure the apartment is safe?

　　Question 31. What should you do if you decide to rent an apartment?

　　Passage Three

　　Many studies have been made recently about hand preference in human. They have brought

　　interesting results. It has been found, for instance, that many more men than women are left handed;

　　that all children use both hands about equally until they are three years old; and that hand preference

　　is not clearly marked until age six. Above that age, most people not only favor one particular hand,

　　but they also have a favorite eye, a favorite ear and foot。

　　We know that the left side of the body is controlled by the right side of the brain. It seems that

　　this particular half is the seat of emotion, imagination, and of the sense of space. And, indeed, lefties

　　seem to be more creative than their right-handed fellow humans; they also seem to be more athletic

　　and to do better in some professions which—like sports—require a good sense of space. In a large

　　school of architecture, it was found in 1977 that 29 percent of the professors and 23 percent of the

　　graduating students were left-handed—while lefties represent less than 10 percent of the general　population。

　　Lefties manage to drive, to sew, to paint, to use machines as well as any right hander. It is not

　　easy for them, however, to struggle with tools, school desks, automobile and television controls, and many ordinary objects. Fortunately the creation of Left-Handers International has attracted attention

　　to their problems and caused the appearance of special stores offering all sorts of objects for lefties,

　　including wrist-watches, musical instruments, pencil-sharpeners, cameras, scissors, and books that

　　show them how to play left-handed guitar and left-handed golf。

　　Questions 32 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard。

　　Question 32. According to the talk, when do children usually form their hand preference?

　　Question 33. What does the speaker think about the right-handers?

　　Question 34. Which of the following are the left-handed people most likely to be good at?

　　Question 35. Why are there more left-handed athletes?
