Questions 6–10 are based on the listening text you are going to hear.
Questions 11–15 are based on the following text.
Around Bali
Bali, the fabled "Island of the Gods", has been enchanting visitors for centuries with its rich cultural traditions and spectacular pano ramas. From lofty, misty enshrouded volcanoes and cool mountain lakes down through terraced rice fields to a golden strand lapped by azure waters, every square inch of Bali offers a fresh and unforgettable image.
No less enchanting are its people, some 2.7 million souls whose artistry and piety are recog nised throughout the world. Balinese Hinduism, a complex fusion of Indian cosmo logy, Tantric Buddism and homegrown mytho logy, is the primary faith of Bali's inhabitants, and so deeply woven into the fabric of their daily lives that the line between the spiritual and the material is blurry at best.
The shoppers among you will find Bali a treasure house of handicrafts and fine works of art. The Balinese are incredibly gifted artists and craftsmen, and their material creations are imbued with the same sense of wonderment with which they regard their universe. Stone and wood carvings, traditional and modern paintings and intricately designed jewelry in gold and silver are readily available in shops and galleries throughout the island.
As for recreation, there is no shortage of options. Nature walks, horseback riding, diving, surfing, bungy jumping and white water rafting await the adventurous here.

Questions 16–22 are based on the following text.
Most Firms Ignore Waste Treatment
Only 26 percent of a total of 2,173 medium and large-scale enterprises in the city regularly submitted samples of their liquid waste for assessment, the Jakarta Environmental Management Agency said.
The remaining 1,602 enterprises failed to deliver reports of the liquid waste they produced as set out in gubernatorial decree No. 299/1996.
The decree requires all enterprises producing liquid waste to treat the waste before disposing of it into rivers. It also requires firms to send samples of the treated waste to the agency every three months.
The companies on the list include hotels, apartments, office buildings, restaurants, hospitals, and industrial plants.
The above figures do not include regis tered small-scale enterprises such as commu nity markets, small workshops and small offices which amount up to at least, 15,845 concerns.
Worse still, out of 571 companies which have sent their samples to us, only 35 percent, or 199 companies, comply with the decree and send us the samples every three months. The rest submit the samples every four months, six months, or even only once a year. No wonder the quality of our river water is getting worse.
High levels of pollution in the city's 13 rivers is suspected of being behind the red tide phenomenon, which killed thousands of fish in Jakarta Bay in May.
The real issue here is whether the agency has the political will because the adminis tration has ignored the existing Law No. 23/1997 on the environment. The law authorises all environment mana gement agencies to control the liquid waste treatment of any enterprises.
The law gave the administration the power to censure transgressing companies and the city could close companies down if they conti nued to ignore existing regulations.
The law says companies found to be polluting the environment with liquid waste are given six months to improve their treatment facilities. If they fail to meet the deadline, the agency has the power to close the waste treatment facility, the area of production causing the waste, or the entire production process.

Questions 23–27 are based on the following text.
The Green Generation
Who is going to pay the price if the current generation 23 ______ to pollute the environ ment? Today's children will foot the bill. California teenagers who figured this out have started an organisation called YES (Youth for Environmental Sanity). As one member of YES points out, "Adults didn't learn about the environment when they were growing up. "Therefore, YES members believe that unless kids 24 ______ on themselves, nothing is going to happen.
The group is realistic but hopeful. Spokes person Sol Solomon states the YES philosophy in a few words: "Who says we can't save the earth? If we don't save it for ourselves, nobody 25 ______ it for us. "A lot of this hope is based on teenagers growing economic power.
According to one national wide poll, US teenagers spend about $80 billion a year. Using that power, kids' ecology groups have told some manufactures, "We won't buy your products unless you 26 ______ the way you do business. "Youngsters have forced giant food corporations such as Burger King and Star-Kist to change. Now, if kids 27 ______ to a product for environmental reasons, manufacturers listen.
Partly because companies want kids to buy their products, "green" advertising–advertising that mentions a company's concern about the environment–is booming. But environmental groups tell companies that they'd better actually solve problems and not just spend money on advertising. "Kids are sharp", warns one spokes person. "They'll figure it out fast if manufacturers practise false advertising."
