  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.

  In New York City, some bike (36) riders have formed a group called Bike for a Better City. They (37) claim that if more people rode bicycles to work there would be fewer automobiles in the downtown (38) section of the city and therefore less dirty air from car (39) engines.

  For several years this group has been trying to get the city (40) government to help bicycle riders. For example, they want the city to paint (41) special lanes for bicycles only on some of the (42) main streets, because when bicycle riders must use the same lanes as cars, there may be (43) accidents. Bike for a Better City feels that if there were special lanes, more people would use bikes.

  But no bicycle lanes have been painted yet. Not everyone thinks it is a good idea. (44) Taxi drivers fear that it will slow traffic. Some shop owners say if there is less traffic, (45) they'll have less business. And most people live too far from downtown to travel by bike.

  The city government has not yet decided what to do. It wants to keep everyone happy. On weekends, the roads in Central Park may be used by bicycles only. Bike for a Better City (46) keeps fighting to get bicycle lanes downtown. Until that happens, the safest place to bicycle may be in the park.
