FILM REVIEW
Crime Does Play, the later / latest comedy from director Sam Martin, has to be one of the
little / least interesting films I have ever seen. The acting is terrible and the story is much
worse / worst than Martin’s other flop, Escape. Crime Does Play was apparently more / most
expensive than any other film this year, but it’s hard to see where the money went. The plot
concerns a gang of burglars who decide to steal the more / most valuable painting in the
world. Fine, except these criminals are far less / least amusing than they should be. There
isn’t a single real laugh in the whole movie. When I saw it, even younger / youngest
members of the audience thought it was stupidly childish. Dean Richards, playing Scarnose,
does a slightly better/ best job than the others, but there isn’t much in it.
When will Hollywood realize that as ticket prices get higher / highest, more people are
finding that the well / best form of entertainment is to spend an evening at home with
a DVD?

evening, Vida got home late. “It’s too late to go to the gym now”, she said to herself. “I just
watch TV instead.”

She made herself a nice, fresh, healthy salad and sat down in front of the TV. Suddenly, she
saw something on TV that caught her attention. It was an advert for an exercise bike called
the Fitmaster 5000.
“That looks fantastic!” thought Vida. “I think I’ll buy that!” She phoned the number and
ordered the machine. It came the next day. It was much bigger than it looked on TV, and the
only place Vida could put it was at the top of the stairs.
She loved the Fitmaster 5000 so much, though, that from that day on, she only exercised
at home. She didn’t go to gym any more. She spent hours every evening on her exercise bike,
and every evening she went faster and faster. One evening, she was going so fast that the
exercise bike began to move forwards. Before she knew what had happened, she - and the
bike - fell down the stairs. All sixteen of them. Right to the bottom. Ouch!
The Fitmaster 5000 was broken, and so was Vida’s leg.
“I think that’s enough exercise for a while”, thought Vida, as she lay in her hospital bed.
“And that’s enough watching adverts on TV too.”

should be. A letter to a friend is more like (4) ..................................... English, SPEAK

a hotel manager is formal. You also need to think about what kind of

(6)....................................... , but the language in a report on an article should

general idea of the subject. Later, in the (9) ..................................... , you INTRODUCE
should summarise your opinion. Each time you write, you have to make CONCLUDE

There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day as housekeeper at
Monk’s House. The floors in the were very thin. The bathroom was directly above the
kitchen, and when Mrs. Woolf was having her bath before breakfast, I could hear her
talking to herself. On and on she went, talk, talk, talk, asking questions and giving herself
the answer. I thought there must be two or three people up there with her. When Mr. Woolf
saw that I looked surprised, he told me that Mrs. Woolf always said the sentences out loud
that she had written during the night. She needed to know if they sounded right and the
bath was a good place for trying them out.
I was not allowed to make coffee at Monk’s House - Mr and Mrs Woolf were very
particular about coffee and always made it themselves - so Mr. Woolf came into the kitchen
at eight o’clock every morning to make it. When we carried the breakfast trays to Mrs.
Woolf’s room I noticed that she had always been working during the night. There were
pencils and paper beside her bed do that when she woke up she could work, and
sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep.
Mrs. Woolf’s bedroom was outside the house in the garden; I used to think how
inconvenient it must be to have to go out in the rain to go to bed. Her bedroom had been
added on to the back of the house; the door faced the garden and a window at the side
opened out on to a field. Because the writing-room was small, he had had a larger one built
for her at the end of the garden against the church wall.
I can always remember her coming to the house each day from the writing-room; when I
rang the bell for lunch at one o’clock she used to walk down through the garden smoking
one of her favorite cigarettes in a long holder. She was tall and thin and very graceful. She
had large, deep-set eyes and a wide curving mouth - I think perhaps it was this that made
her face seem particularly beautiful. She wore long skirts - usually blue or brown - in the
fashion of the day, and silk jackets of the same color.
Her cigarettes were made from a special tobacco called My Mixture. Mr. Woolf bought it
for her in London, and, in the evenings, they used to sit by the fire and make these
cigarettes themselves.

Mrs. Woolf wore clothes that suited her well. I pressed them for her and did any sewing
that was necessary - she was not able to sew, although sometimes she liked to try. There
was one thing in the kitchen that Mrs. Woolf was very good at doing; she could make
beautiful bread.

The Norwegian Government is doing its best to keep the growth of the oil industry
under control. A new law limits exploration to an area south of the southern and of the long
coastline; production limits have been laid down (though these have already been raised);
and oil companies have not been allowed to employ more than a limited number of foreign
workers. But the oil industry has a way of getting over such problems, and few people
believe that the Government will be able to hold things back for long. As one Norwegian
politician said last week: “We will soon be changed beyond all recognition.”
only
Ever since he war, the Government has been carrying out a programme of development
in the area north of the Artic Circle. During the past few years this programme has had a
great deal of success: Tromso has been built up into a local capital with a university, a large
hospital and a healthy industry. But the oil industry has already started to draw people
south, and within a few years the whole northern policy could be in ruins.
The effects of the development of the oil industry would not be limited to the north,
however. With nearly 100-percent employment, everyone can see a situation developing in
which the service industries and the tourist industry will lose most of their workers to the
oil industry. Some smaller industries might even disappear altogether when it becomes
cheaper to buy goods from abroad.
The real argument over oil is its threat to the Norwegian way of life. Farmers and
fishermen do not make up the majority of the population but they are an important part of
it because Norwegians see in them many of the qualities that they regard with pride as
essentially Norwegian. And it is the famers and the fishermen who are most critical of the
oil industry because of the damage that it might cause to the countryside and to the sea.
1. The Norwegian Government would prefer the oil industry to

A. slow down its rate of development. B. provide more jobs for Norwegian.
C. look for oil on the southern coast. D. develop more quickly than at present.
2. What has the Norwegian Government’s policy been for the area north of the Arctic
Circle since the was?
A. To prevent a growth in population. B. To improve facilities in the area.
C. To develop a large tourist industry. D. To discourage industrial development.
3. What might be the effect of the oil industry on northern Norway?
A. The development of industry
B. A growth in population.
C. The failure of the development programme.
D. The development of the new towns.
4. In Norway, one effect of the development of the oil industry might be
A. a large reduction in unemployment.
B. an increase in unemployment in the north.
C. a reduction in the number of existing industries.
D. the development of a number of service industries.
5. Why are Norwegian farmers and fishermen important?
A. The economy depends on agriculture and fishing.
B. They form the majority of the population.

C. They are thought of as the real Norwegians.
D. They are responsible for preventing pollution.

The sun was going down beyond great banks of cloud which were full of orange-pink
light. It would usually be time for Joe to be going in, but he didn’t want to go back if Aunt
Daisy and uncle Ted were still there, because his mother would only send him straight to
bed out of the way. So he turned away from home and walked down the lane past the
football field, kicking a stone before him at the risk of scratching the toes of his best brown
shoes. A couple of dogs, one large, black and smooth haired, the other smaller with a long
black and white coat, played on the edge of the field, running round and round, jumping at
each other and sometimes rolling over and over together, totally content in each other’s
company.
Joe watched them for a moment or two and walked on. Twenty minutes later he was on
the riverside and half-way round the circle he had set our to walk from the town and back
again. On his way he had passed several couples and one or two family groups returning
from their Sunday evening walk; but now there was no one about except one man resting
on the grass between the path and the river bank. When Joe realised that it was his father,
his surprise was so great that he stopped. Then his father, who had been learning on his
arm arid looking into the river, looked round, but did not seem surprised to see him.
“Hello Joe”, he said dully. He went back to starting at the river. The fact that he was
wearing his best clothes somehow added to the strangeness of his sitting there alone like
this, and as Joe looked at him was conscious for the first time of a sense of his father as not
his father, but as someone without connection with himself: as a man, with thoughts and
feelings outside their existence as father and son. He saw, for the first time, his father as a
person carrying about with him a world of his own, and he had an indefinite sense of this
world of his father’s extending back to a time and a life before he himself was born. He was
only a part of his father’s world, while his father belonged in the centre of his, Joe’s world.
And things were far from well in his father’s world, he knew. He moved a few steps nearer,
and his father did not look at him. They’re all at home, wondering where you are”, said Joe.
1. Joe didn’t go straight home because he

only
A. didn’t want to see Aunt Daisy and Uncle Ted.
B. wanted to find his father first.
C. wanted to watch the two dogs playing.
D. didn’t want to go to bed immediately.
2. Instead of going home Joe went
A. on to the football field. B. through some fields.
C. along the bank of the river. D. half-way to the town.
3. When Joe had completed half his intended walk he
A. saw a man sitting by himself. B. passed a couple of people.
C. went back to the town. D. met some family groups.
4. When Joe’s father saw Joe, he
A. sat down on the grass. B. didn’t seem very interested in him.
C. looked round at the river. D. went back to the river.
5. That evening Joe realised that
A. he hardly knew his father at all.
B. he had not seen his father wearing those clothes before.
C. he had never really loved his father.
D. his father had a life of his own.
6. That evening, Joe though that his father was
A. dull. B. peculiar. C. a stranger. D. worried.

I can not stress too much the importance of watching your opponent, of knowing exactly
where he is on the tennis court and what he is doing. It is usually possible to work out the
pattern of his game very early in a match. Test him at the front of the court. try hitting one
or two balls up high to see what his shots are like. The more quickly you discover his
weaknesses, the easier the match should become.
Now and again it may be a good idea to give your opponent an opportunity of making a
mistake. If, early in the match, it seems that he is a very accurate player, but not a forceful
one, then you should tempt him to play a winning shot. Give him the opening, for there are
some players who simply can not hit winners. They will try to play an attacking game but
they can not quite finish it off. The way to break up their steady game may be by putting
them into the front of the court.
It is obviously wiser to try to decide at the beginning of the match whether your
opponent is weaker on his left-hand or on his left-hand or on his right-hand side, and then
play a little more than fifty percent of your shots down that side. Play a normal attacking
game, or the game you think you will win but concentrate on the weaker side. A number of
players experience more trouble others in the back corners of the court always be ready to

recognise this weakness. Perhaps an opponent has a favorite backhand shot, but lacks
certainty with his forehand short. Tempt him to play the forehand shot.
There are advantages in learning as much as possible about another player even before
you play him. When you know, in a competition, who your next opponent will be, try to
watch him play beforehand. It is only under match conditions that his weaknesses are
likely to show - you are bound to pick up some information, even if it’s a basic thing such as
slowness in reaching the front of the court. The Australian team members always pool their
knowledge of the team’s opponents so that rarely does a member walk on to a court
without knowing what to expect.
1. What are tennis players advised to do early in a match?

A. Plan their own game carefully. B. Find out an opponent’s weaker points.
C. test out a few new shots. D. Concentrate on playing accurately.
2. What should a player do against an opponent who has difficult in playing shots on one
side?
A. Play on to his backhand at the front of the court.
B. Play his usual game.
C. Play more shots than usual to his opponent’s weaker side.
D. Play to the back corners of the court.
3. This passage tells a tennis player playing a match how to
A. get an opponent to make mistakes.
B. avoid making mistakes himself.
C. play a steady game.
D. play accurately rather than forcefully.
4. Before playing a match in a competition what is a player advised to do?
A. Talk to members of his own team.
B. Talk to his opponent beforehand.
C. Play a practice game against the opponent.
D. Observe his opponent playing a match.

The prison camp was entirely silent. Robert waited a moment, then, hearing nothing,
opened the door and went into the hut where he slept. The hut was divided into three
connecting bedrooms; there was no corridor. The centre room had been given to Robert,
and the room nearest to the main building was normally occupied by two guards. Robert
did not know who occupied the third. He had once tried to open the connecting door
between it and his own room, but it was locked. He had only discovered it was a bedroom
by looking quickly through a narrow gap in the curtains early one morning as he went for a
walk before the two guards, who followed him everywhere at fifty yards’ distance, had
rounded the corner of the hut. The room contained a single bed, and a small writing - desk
with papers on it. he supposed that someone kept an eye on him from that bedroom, But
Robert was too experienced to allow himself to be bothered by being watched.
For the last five years before he had been imprisoned, it had been a fact of life - if you
didn’t notice it, so much the worse: it only meant they were taking greater care, or you
were not as good as you used to be, Usually, because he was good at this kind of thing,
because he was observant and had an accurate memory - because, in short, he was good at
his job - he knew the tricks, the weaknesses, the occasional mistakes that could give them
away. It meant nothing to Robert that he was watched, but as he walked through the
doorway to the hut and stood in the guards’ bedroom, he had the distinct feeling that
something was wrong. The lights in the hut were controlled from some central point. They
were put on and off by an unseen hand. In the mornings he was often woken by the sudden
brightness of the single overhead light in his room. At night he would be hurried to bed by
sudden darkness, It was only nine o’clock as he entered the hut, and the lights were already
out. Usually they stayed on till eleven, but now they were out and the curtains had been
drawn. He had left the door open, so that in the half-light he could just see the two empty
beds in the guards’ bedroom. As he stood there looking into the room, surprised to find it
empty, the door behind him closed perhaps by itself, but Robert made no attempt to open
it. He couldn’t see a thing. No sound was made as the door closed, no footstep was heard.
only
To Robert it was as if a record had stopped. He sensed danger. Then he smelt cigar smoke.
It must have been hanging in the air, but he had not noticed it till then. Like a blind man, his
senses of touch and smell were sharpened by the darkness.

Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals,
still less the content or quality of that education. Proper records are just not kept.
We know that more than 850.000 children go through hospital each year, and that every
child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital. We
also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1.000 children in hospital.
Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching
available differ a great deal across the country. It found that half the hospitals in England
which admit children have no teacher. A further quarter have only a part-time teacher. The
special children’s hospitals in major cities do best; general hospitals in the country and
holiday areas are words off.
From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some
contact with a hospital teacher - and that contact may be as little as two hours a day. Most
children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all. They had not been
prepared for it by parents or their own school. If there was a teacher they would only play
games.
Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and
maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the
teacher can do. The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents
referred to them as “the library lady” or just “the helped”.
Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work.
Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school. Once
back at school, children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can.
Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly. but schools do very little to ease the
anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed.
1. The writer of this article points out that

A. every child in hospital receives some teaching.
B. not enough is known about hospital teaching.
C. hospital teaching is of poor quality.
D. many children pass through hospital each year.
2. This latest survey found that hospital teaching is provided
A. for the whole of the school day. B. in every children’s hospital in the country.
C. for a small proportion of children. D. by full-time teachers.
3. It seems that the children interviewed in hospital
A. liked having maths lessons regularly.
B. wanted to play games most of the time.
C. did not expect to receive any teaching.
D. did not want any contact with their schools.
4. Some children in hospital are able to keep up with their school work because
A. the nurses try to teach them.
B. their friends help them to do so.
C. teachers from the school come to the hospital.
D. their parents bring them books from the library.

6. Write out the following passage in dialogue form, making all necessary changes.
When Anne saw Tom she was amazed and asked him what he had done to his hair. He
told her that he was play his guitar with a new group. Anne could not understand what that
had to do with having purple hair, but Tom said he had been told by the group that if he
wanted to perform with them he had to get his hair dyed. Anne apologized, but she still
advised him not to do just what other people told him to. He should decide for himself how
he wanted to look. Tom agreed with her about that but did not want to risk not playing
with the group. She would, therefore, have to put up with his purple hair if she wanted to
go out with him.
Anne: ........... Good havens, Tom! What have you done to your hair? ..........
Tom: ............ I’m going to play my guitar with a new group. ............
