W:Edward Heath,you seem to have had two consuming passions in your life,
music and politics.
Is it important for a leader to have an escape like music or art?
M:I don't regard it as an escape,
but I think it's very important that leaders should have a wide variety of interests.
If you are just a politician and nothing but a politician,
you gradually drive yourself into the ground.

you come back to problems with a fresh mind
and you can serve your electors much better than you could otherwise.
W:Where did this interest of yours come from?
Was yours a musical family?
M:It wasn't musical in the sense that Mozart's father was a professional musician
and Bach had brothers and sons who were musicians.
On the other hand,my mother and father both wanted to encourage me in music
and my brother as well He became a violinist while I was a pianist.

I became interested in politics at school,
very largely through a debating society.

W:It is one thing to be interested in politics;
it is another to want a political career.
M:Well.I became seriously interested in politics towards the end of the war;
not in a party sense but in a general sense:
that we couldn't allow Europe to tear itself apart again.

Questions 22 -25 are based on a lecture.
You now have 20 seconds to read the questions.
Professor:Let me begin by saying ...
the history and culture of these two countries...
Great Britain and the United to be similar in many ways,but
in others. In the field of education,for example,
the school systems of these two English-speaking countries
are no more alike cricket and baseball.
Let's look at the matter of examinations...
those terrible inventions that students all over the world fear and dread...
In England they are standard.
That is,students all over the country take the same examination.
Most children begin school at five,you see...
and study the basics for about eight years... then,if they decide to go on,
they select certain subjects and study for these nation-wide standard exams.
This process ends at about age 16,
except for those who want to enter universities.
These students ,study for yet more difficult examinations,
known in England as the "A Levels",or Advanced Level Examinations.
As you can see,these national examinations
are very important to British students...
but in the United States there are none...
oh,of course we have other kinds of tests that are important...
but I mean there are no nationally set examinations
that determine whether students can graduate from our public schools.
Each local school system has its own standards,
and these are set by the local school boards.
So a high school diploma on,for example,
is not the same as one from ida,or Minnesota,or California.
Generally speaking,there are twelve grades in the American system
and these twelve are divided into two levels:elementary and secondary
the secondary one is known as "high school."
Each grade takes one year so children who begin the first grade
at the age of six usually graduate when they are about seventeen.
If they want to go on to college...
they have to write and find out what the entrance requirements are,
because each college and university is different.
Now,as for which system is better...
the American or the British,I can only say that each one...(fade)
You have one minute to answer questions 22 -25.
is the lecture mainly about?
(A)history and culture of the Great Britain and US,

sort of exams do British children have to take?
(A)nation-wide standard exams(B)local exams
(C)school set tests(D)private test

have to do if they want to go to college?
(A)They have to take national college entrance exams.
(B)They need not do anything except for paying the tuition fee.

can give clues about the games they played and their hobbies.
