Section C
Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time, you should listen carefully for its general idea. When the passage is read for the second time, you are required to fill in the blanks numbered from 36 to 43 with the exact words you have just heard. For blanks numbered from 44 to 46 you are required to fill in the missing information. For these blanks, you can either use the exact words you have just heard or write down the main points in your own words. Finally, when the passage is read for the third time, you should check what you have written.
A Jewish proverb says that God could not be everywhere and therefore he made mothers. Here are some mothers who have achieved fame not only for their many diverse (36)accomplishments, but also because they have (37)distinguished themselves in their roles as mothers.
Rose Kennedy buried five of her nine children, (38)raised a president, two US senators, and (39)presided over one of the most famous families in American history—all with (40)elegance and dignity. “I looked on child-rearing not as a work of love and duty but as a profession that was fully as interesting and (41)challenging as any honorable profession in the world.” She once said. When she died at 105, she had 28 grandchildren and 41 great-grandchildren. Hillary Clinton, who, despite enduring immense pain and endless (42)scrutiny, became the first First Lady to be elected to public office, has raised a (43)well-adjusted, level-headed daughter, Chelsea. She said, “For Bill and me, (44)there has been no experience more challenging, more rewarding and more humbling than raising our daughter. And we have learned that to raise a happy, healthy and hopeful child, it takes all of us.”
(45)Mother Teresa touched millions with her missionary work aiding lepers, the blind, and the terminally ill. In 1948, Mother Teresa established the Missionaries of Charity, a Roman-Catholic organization dedicated to serving “the poorest of the poor”. (46)Her selfless devotion earned her a Nobel Peace Prize and truly made her a spiritual mother to the oppressed and an example for us all.
To express our love and gratitude for these mothers and the women who have devoted their lives to making ours safe and happy, Mother’s Day is the day for all of us.
