A. Some people might think working round the house is an easy thing, but these people obviously don’t do very much of it. When you have to tidy up a living room full of kids’ toys, clean bookshelves covered in dust and prepare a meal for suppertime, it can be exhausting. You can’t do it alone, so you’ve got to employ your family to help. Still, they don’t always do their jobs!
B. Being a florist is a rewarding job. It’s almost like being a decorator of plants. You make all sort of arrangements in a variety of colours for special occasions like weddings and Mother’s Day, and naturally, you have to be a lover of all things green. You’ve got to make sure all the plants stay healthy otherwise it’s hard to make a sale.
C. Working as a TV newsreader has its ups and downs. The up side is if you love communicating and think you do it well, it’s the perfect job for you. On the other hand, it can be quite stressful being on camera often, especially when you don’t feel like it. Additionally, the news is often not pleasant to report on, so you’ve got to keep a stiff upper lip.
D. If you’re looking for some extra money, you might want to consider working for a few hours after school. Lots of places are keen on employing young people, and the work schedule can be quite flexible. A student has a busy life, so you probably couldn’t do more than ten or twelve hours a week, but it’s a great way to earn some cash and learn responsibility.
E. For many adults, the first thing to do every morning is to grab a cup of coffee and sit down with the news. Whether it be reading a paper or the internet, it seems to be a habit for lots of people. The news has a way of kicking your mind into gear, along with the coffee, of course, and then once you’ve had your fill, it’s off to get ready for work.
F. Whereas some people don’t mind doing housework, for others, it’s a real bother. They prefer being outside, and if they’ve got a big garden to tend to, there’ll be many tasks to keep them entertained, such as planting seeds, pruning trees and doing the watering. There’s something they can do outside every day, and they never get bored with it.
G. There are lots of different class trips a teacher can take students on, like visiting a newspaper or a bank to see how things are run. An interesting way to learn about nature is a trip to the zoo. The kids see lots of different kinds of animals, and they can learn about where they’re from. It’s just one of many class trip ideas.

Petrushka
Petrushka is a character from Russian folk puppetry. Traditionally dressed in red, with a red kolpak, or pointed hat, Petrushka was a humorous fellow ___ (A).
Petrushka first came to life, so to speak, sometime in the 18th century during Empress Anna Ioannovnas reign. In the Empress’s court was a man named Pietro-Mira Pedrillo, of Italian descent, ___ (B). It was this mans character and style that became the basis for Petrushka. In fact, the name Petrushka is a diminutive form of the name Pyotr (Peter, or Pietro in Italian).
In the beginning, Petrushka was intended for an adult audience. The plots of the puppets theatrical plays were about a variety of common, meaningful occurrences in a Russians life: a visit to a medical practitioner, learning military service, or a marriage ceremony, to name a few. The plots employed the use of interactive humour ___ (C).
Over time, puppet theatre moved away from adult-themed entertainment and towards childrens fare. Because of this, some of the long-running and less savoury characters had to be retired. Still, the humour of the shows was considered sharp-witted enough ___ (D).
An interesting aspect of Petrushka, as with other puppet shows, is his unusual voice, made to sound like a funny whistle, or kazoo. This would add a buzzing sound to the character’s speech, ___ (E). Mr Punch of Punch and Judy shows in the UK is one character with a similar voice.
Petrushka was famously made into a ballet in 1911 by Russian ballet composer Igor Stravinsky. The ballet tells a coming-to-life story of the puppet ___ (F).
1. to provide entertainment for both children and their parents
2. and follows his journeys as he discovers his thoughts and emotions
3. to force many puppeteers to seek alternative sources of income
4. who entertained the empress during leisurely afternoons
5. which could also be heard in famous puppet shows of other countries
6. whose persona was based on the personality of a court jester
7. which allowed the audience to participate in the various shows

Mr Wainwright was satisfied with being a butler because…
1) the lady had said many kind things to him over the years.
2) he enjoyed serving others without wanting anything in return.
3) a few small things were said to him on a daily basis.
4) he realised he was a valued and necessary part of something.
The job of a 21st century butler was underappreciated in society, but in carrying out the role Mr Wainwright found a type of magnificence which contradicted that lack of respect. His ability to be a silent yet highly perceptive presence amongst the upper classes, whilst performing his duties immaculately, was his proof.
He understood why he might be looked down upon by others; servitude wasn’t equated with prestige, unlike other jobs such as surgeon or architect. And society’s general disdain for the very privileged meant those who served them were like slaves to the enemy. He could leave his job at any time, however, and his salary rivalled his prestigious counterparts in the outside world’.
What he wasn’t allowed to do was be less than perfect. A butler was the boss of all the other service staff and he hadn’t arrived at the position overnight. The others around him – the valet, the footman, the hall boy – could make small mistakes and seemingly get away with it, that is until the earl took notice and had a word with Mr Wainwright, which he would pass on to them. The admonishment was more like a slap on the wrist, thanks to his kindly nature, however.
The butler had to know what was going to happen before it happened. Anticipation was the top job skill – not something you’re taught at school. It was a life lesson, one most people rarely learn. Even at butler training, this skill would be one you would just have to ‘pick up’. They’d tell you that you need to do this, but it was up to the individual to work out how they’d achieve it. Sacrificing your own needs to attend to the needs of others was a large part of it.
Besides being well paid for his service, there were certain other rewards for being a butler. The workspace was an elegant turn-of-the-century mansion, which Mr Wainwright admired deeply but had grown so accustomed to he took for granted, aside from its upkeep. The endless array of dignitaries that passed through the halls meant experiencing – if only from the sidelines – a slice of society most people would never come across. The butler’s living quarters were well furnished, if meagre in space. But the butler – in fact, all the staff – dined much like the nobility. They partook of the same fine meals that went upstairs, even if they consumed them downstairs. That was what Mr Wainwright savoured the most.
Every bit as delicate as the household procedures was Mr Wainwright’s relationship with the earl. Their exchanges were often friendly, but it was understood that they were not ‘friends’, nor could Mr Wainwright ever wish for that. The lady of the house was technically the person he reported to. Lady Channing was the one who’d elevated him to his exalted position, and who would defend him against any of the earl’s misgivings about his service, of which there were few.
Mr Wainwright had settled on a life of service, disregarding other opportunities, not only because of his rare ability to serve others while remaining largely unseen, but also because of his deep-seated need to be needed himself. Praise, however, was rare in Channing Manor – the perfunctory ‘Thank you, Wainwright’ was as commonplace as afternoon tea. The very promotion from footman to butler had only included the words ‘I’d like you to be our butler’ followed by ‘This is what you will do’. It was years later, when Lady Channing, in a moment of humility, said, ‘I don’t know what I would do without you,’ that Mr Wainwright was reminded of his wise choice.

. It would be the in journalism if the informer did turn up, and a huge
embarrassment for Toby if he failed to deliver the front page story he had promised the editor by midnight that night.
It had taken Toby nearly ten years to work his way up from his first job at a local paper to a desk at a national one. He’d mainly covered small local stories and was only just beginning to make his mark in the world of front page headlines. Most of the other reporters in the office had been there for years and found his energy and enthusiasm for the work highly amusing. “You’ll learn,” they said, patting him on the shoulder as they trudged wearily to their desks to punch out another short, snappy news
his big break would come.
When his chance did finally come, it took him completely by surprise. He had been working on a story about a government minister’s involvement in a national scandal. There were plenty of rumours flying around, but Toby hadn’t managed to get hold of any concrete evidence. Nobody wanted to talk. Then, one evening at a cocktail party, someone had approached him and said he could give him all the proof he needed.
Toby looked at his watch yet again, the knot of nervousness in the pit of his stomach beginning to turn to angry resentment. He didn’t care if he was young and inexperienced,
walk over him now, but the day would come when he would be in a position to take revenge. It was a moment before Toby realised the informer had slipped into the seat beside him at the table.
The last time Toby had seen him he’d been wearing an expensive tailored suit. Now, he was dressed in casual clothes to better fit in with the more humble surroundings. The informer halfsmiled at Toby and apologised for keeping him waiting as he pushed a fat envelope across the table. “You’ll find everything you need and more,” he said. “I’m sure it will mean the start
of a dazzling career in journalism for you.” Toby picked up the envelope and put it in his
briefcase, resisting the urge to rip it open and greedily savour its contents. The informer was right. This was, without doubt, a fine beginning
to an illustrious career as a leading reporter at one of the country’s most respected national
cream cake. “Just one question before you go,” said Toby when he’d got his composure back. “You’ve been friends with the minister since your days at university. Why betray him now?” As the informer stood up to leave, he patted Toby on the shoulder. “Ah yes, friends,” he said. “Indeed, I’ve been very useful to him in his career these past forty years. Now it’s his turn to prove useful in mine.” The informer began to walk away. “I shall look forward to working with you more in the future, Sir,” Toby called after him. The informer carried on walking with not so much as a backward glance. Toby couldn’t stop smiling as he patted his
briefcase.

1 We’re all used to the idea that there are simply four tastes. Our food can be sweet (like sugar), sour (like lemons), salty (like salt, of course) and bitter (like olives). Xow scientists have found that parts of the tongue react to a fifth taste, which they call ‘umami’. Umami is quite a rich taste, found in red meat, soy sauce, mushrooms and hard cheese, such as ParmesanZfhe word ‘umami’ comes from Japanese.
2 One thing you have to remember is that meat can contain bacteria. You have to be particularly careful with white meats like chicken and pork. Make sure that you cook them properly. Use a metal skewer or a fork to test whether the meat is done or not. The juices from the meat should be clear. You should also be careful when preparing food. Use separate chopping boards for meat and vegetables. The reason for this is that we don’t want any bacteria from the meat to find their way onto our vegetables. They might not be killed when we cook the vegetables.
3 Running a busy restaurant is a real challenge. A head chef has to be part army officer, part artist and part businessman. With so many people working in a busy kitchen, it’s not easy to keep control and a head chef has to make sure that everyone does their job properly. At the same time, he or she has to create great food without wasting ingredients. It takes years of training to become a head chef and not everyone can do it.
4 Walk into any bookshop or turn on your TV and you can’t avoid celebrity chefs. They are famous for cooking and for teaching the nation how to cook. They each have their own style and their own fans, from the very friendly style of Jamie Oliver to the more formal style of Delia Smith. However, they all have one thing in common: they are all very good at communicating their enthusiasm for food and for cooking.
5 The thought of cooking for friends at home makes most of us a little nervous. It needn’t be such a nightmare, though. The secret is planning. If you keep your menu simple and stick to dishes you know well, your dinner party will be a success. Give your guests something that is easy to prepare and that doesn’t mean you have to be in the kitchen all the time. That way, you can enjoy the occasion too!
6 Traditionally, eating was something that we all did together as families. In the past, most parents insisted that the whole family sat around the dining table at a certain time. All that has changed. These days, we’re more likely to watch TV while we eat, or to eat at different times from the other members of our family. In a world where it’s so easy to cook a microwave meal in seconds and both parents go out to work, it’s very rare for families to share their news over a good meal.

Charlie Chaplin was the greatest comedian of his generation, and probably of all time. He was born in 1889 in England, where he first appeared on stage at the age of five. He travelled to America in 1912 and stayed to work for the Keystone Film Company. Films in those days were silent, so actors had to find characters that could be recognised immediately on the screen. Chaplin’s great character was the little tramp, who appeared in around 70 short films, as well as a number of feature-length comedies. In fact. Chaplin was the first comedian to make a full-length comedy, Tillie’s Punctured Romance (1914).
Talking films began to appear in the late 1920s, but Chaplin continued to make silent films until the mid 30s. He was unusual because he not only starred in his films but also wrote, directed and produced them. He even wrote the music for some of his later films. He will long be remembered for bringing enjoyment to millions throughout the world.
When Charlie Chaplin went over to America, there was another comedian on the same boat — Stan Laurel, who was to become famous as one half of Laurel and Hardy. Stan was born in 1890. His mother was an actress, while his father managed a number of theatres. His family moved around during his childhood and he spent some time living with his grandparents. He learned a lot from watching the comedians who performed at the theatres run by his father.
Stan first appeared in a film with Oliver Hardy in 1921, but their fame as a double act didn’t begin until 1927. They starred together in dozens of films over the next 30 years until Oliver’s death in 1957. Even today, their films bring pleasure to young and old alike.

Things weren’t working out quite as Lazlo had expected. He’d been in London for six months now and all his early optimism had almost disappeared. None of the galleries were interested in his paintings and he was tired of carrying the same pictures from one buyer to the next. The response was always the same: a shake of the head, some comment about portraits not being fashionable these days and a suggestion to try somewhere else, usually somewhere he had already tried. He was beginning to lose hope and was thinking of going back home. It would be difficult, and he would have to face his parents saying ‘I told you so’, but at least he could find a steady job.
He was sitting on a bench in a park one day considering this when he noticed a newspaper beside him. He glanced at it and the word ‘artist’ caught his eye. He picked the paper up and read more closely. It was a job advertisement, An advertising company was looking for a portrait artist to work on a new advertising campaign. Lazlo ripped the advertisement out of the paper and started to look for a public phone. ‘I won’t be able to choose my subjects,’ Lazlo thought to himself, ‘but at least I’ll be able to pay the rent, and that’s a bit more important right now.’ He spotted a phone, put a few coins in and dialled. After a few moments, a female voice answered. Lazlo explained who he was and that he was applying for the job. They arranged for him to go to their office the next day with some of his work. He went home excited and nervous.
That night, he chose three paintings from the dozens in his flat that he thought showed what he was capable of. He selected a self-portrait he had done a few years before; he thought it showed a thoughtful side to his work. He also chose a portrait of an old man that he had met in a cafe. It was simple but clear, and Lazlo thought that maybe that was the style they would want for an advertising campaign. The third one was a painting of his mother. It had always seemed to him that that picture captured a lot of feeling that was difficult to put into words. A lot of people thought it was the best portrait he had ever done, and Lazlo knew that if anything was going to impress them, that painting would.
The next morning, he woke early and got ready. He rolled the pictures up, placed them in a large tube so that they wouldn’t get damaged and set off towards the bus stop. There was a lot of traffic, but he arrived on time. When he got to the office, he saw that another four people were waiting, each with a large tube of paintings just like his. The secretary asked him to take a seat.
Lazlo sat and waited for his name to be called. Hc knew that a lot depended on the next half an hour or so. With a job, he could begin to sort out his life, maybe doing his art in his spare time. He knew he would never completely give up on his dream, but he had also come to realise that he had to live in the real world, and talent doesn’t pay bills. Without a job, he wouldn’t survive the month; he had just about enough for the ticket home. The secretary picked up the phone and had a short, quiet conversation. She turned to Lazio.
‘You can go in now,’ she said, smiling.
A14 When Lazlo first arrives in London, he
1) immediately loses his job.
2) is confident of success.
3) doesn’t expect to stay for six months.
4) knows that he will have to work hard.
Al 5 The people at the art galleries Lazlo visits
1) are very impressed by his work.
2) often give him helpful advice.
3) ask him to come back with different paintings.
4) tell him that his work is old-fashioned.
A16 It seems that Lazio’s parents
1) disapprove of his choice of career.
2) forced Lazlo into becoming an artist.
3) will be happy to welcome him home.
4) can help him to achieve his ambitions.
Al7 Lazlo thinks the job will
1) give him more artistic freedom.
2) provide him with a salary.
3) mean that he has to move house.
4) stop him from studying.
A18 Lazlo chooses to take the portrait of his mother because
1) it was the third one he thought of.
2) it was used in an advertisement before.
3) the people at the company ask to see it.
4) it expresses emotion well.
Al9 At the office, Lazlo realises that
1) his paintings are the same as everyone else’s.
2) he isn’t the only person interested in the job.
3) he should have chosen different paintings.
4) he has come at the wrong time.
A20 One of the things Lazio’s experience has taught him is that
1) he needs money to live.
2) art is more important than money.
3) following your dream is a waste of time.
4) he has no artistic talent.

In America and Europe, the 1960s was a decade of big dreams.

1 Package holidays, which include flights and hotel accommodation in the same booking, have been popular for several decades. Recently, however, a new type of package holiday has been introduced: the ‘all-inclusive’ package. Many holidaymakers, particularly those with families or those on a limited budget, are attracted by all-inclusive holidays. This is because all meals, drinks and snacks such as ice creams, as well as flights and accommodation, are included in the price.
2 The Isles of Scilly, off the south-west coast of Cornwall in the UK, are a popular tourist destination. Many* of the visitors to the islands arrive in their own boats, either from Cornwall or from the north coast of France. Those without a boat have a range of options for getting there. There are daily flights from Plymouth and Newquay airports, and a helicopter flies several times a day from Penzance. The ferry Scillonian III is also based in Penzance, sailing to the islands once a day. and twice on Sundays.
3 If you’re going on a trip and are unsure what and how much to pack, follow this simple rule. Get everything that you could possibly want to take with you ready. Then, when you’ve made a big pile, put half of it back. Be strict with yourself! People always take too much with them when they travel — clothes they won’t wear, toiletries they won’t use. Carrying heavy bags is never fun, so don’t take too much with you!
4 Bicycles are not just used for recreation. In Britain, thousands of postmen and women deliver the mail each day by bike as it’s much quicker than walking. In towns and cities with traffic problems, such as Los Angeles in the USA, a bike is often the quickest way for a police officer to move around. In India, bicycles are often used to deliver lunch to shop and office workers. At large airports in Germany, it’s quite common to see airport workers riding around on bikes.
5 On long flights, it’s important not to sit still for too long, as this can be bad for your health. A good exercise for your hands is to squeeze a tennis ball — or even a pair of socks if you haven’t got a tennis ball ten or fifteen times. For your feet, take your shoes off and put your feet on the floor. Raise your toes as high as possible and hold them there for about five seconds. Repeat the exercise until your toes get tired.
6 Not long ago, if you wanted to book a plane ticket or a package holiday, you had no choice — you had to go to a travel agent’s. The Internet has changed that, however, and now flights and trips can be booked in the comfort of your own home. It’s often cheaper, quicker and more convenient to book tickets online, but you do need a credit card. If you want to pay by cash or cheque, you still have to make that visit to the high street.

Hamburgers are one of the most popular kinds of fast food in the world today. The name., however, can be misleading, as the burger in a hamburger is not made of ham. It is beef.
Although the name ‘hamburger’ almost certainly comes from the town Hamburg in Germany, the history of the hamburger is unclear.
There was a popular dish in Hamburg several hundred years ago which was basically a roast pork sandwich. It is possible that, in time, that became the hamburger as we know it today.
However, the town of Seymour in Wisconsin in the USA is just one of several other places that claim to have created the hamburger. Their story goes back to 1885, when a man called Charlie Nagrecn tried to sell meatballs at a county fair. They weren’t popular, though, as customers had difficulty eating them while walking. Nagreen came up with the idea of flattening out the meatballs and putting them in a bread roll. He called this meat sandwich a ‘hamburger’. ∖XTιy he chose that name is unclear, and it seems likely that he was not actually the first to use it.
Many large towns and cities in Europe and the USA have at least one sushi restaurant, but what exactly is sushi? A widely — held belief is that it is a type of Japanese cuisine that involves raw fish. Certainly, if you go to a sushi restaurant, you are likely to eat some raw fish.
In fact, however, sushi is a number of different dishes all made with a certain type of rice. The rice has a topping or filling with it which may be raw fish, but could also be cooked fish, vegetables or egg.
Food similar to sushi has been eaten in Japan for centuries, but sushi as it’s eaten today was developed by Hanaya Yohei in Tokyo, Japan in the early 1800s. It was designed to be a type of fast food that could be eaten at the theatre or in the street.

Sean had never felt so nervous before in his life. Sitting alone outside the closed door, he suddenly realised he was physically shaking. ‘This is ridiculous,’ he thought to himself. ‘Pull yourself together. You’ve got to stay calm.’
This was easier said than done, and when a middle-aged woman in a smart business suit opened the door and asked, ‘Sean Perkins?’, there was a definite tremor of fear and weakness in his voice as he answered that that was indeed him.
‘Hello, Γm Katie Sutherland. Do come in.’
Sean was invited into a comfortable and spacious office. The walk from the door to the chair he was to sit on seemed to last a lifetime, and Sean was terrified with each step that he’d suddenly trip or stumble. How could something so simple as walking and sitting down be so difficult?
As the interview progressed, however, Scan slowly began to relax. If he’d had time to think about it, he would have realised he was answering the questions put to him quite well. He was giving clear, full answers without saying too much or anything irrelevant. Then came a question which, at first, he was uncertain how to answer.
‘So, tell me, why do you want to leave your current job?’
Sean hesitated. Should he tell her the truth? This was, of course, that he didn’t feel respected. His boss, Mr Dominguez, took him for granted, overworked him, was often rude, patronising and unpleasant and made him dread going in to work each morning. Sean decided a more positive response was called for.
‘Well,’ he said, ‘I’ve been with Brookcs Brothers for over four years now, and although I’ve learned a lot there, and Γm very grateful for the opportunities they’ve given me, I think it’s time for some new challenges, and this seems the ideal company to provide them. From what I’ve seen, Fisher & Fisher is an extremely dynamic company, and I’d like to be a part of that. I really think I could help contribute to the company’s future success.’
Sean was pleased with his answer and knew he’d been right not to criticise his current employer. From Katie Sutherland’s expression, it seemed she was satisfied with his answer too. Her next question prompted Sean to smile. ‘What would you say were your biggest weaknesses, Sean?’
He’d thought he might be asked this, and so had already rehearsed an answer. He didn’t want it to sound rehearsed, though, so he purposefully hesitated slightly before answering. ‘That’s a tricky question, isn’t it?’ he said. ‘In fact, I think we both know it’s a bit of a trick question too, because if I give a list of serious weaknesses, you won’t think Γm suitable for the job, and if I say I haven’t got any, you’ll think Γm arrogant and over-confident. So, in answer to your question, Γd have to say that one of my biggest weaknesses is not being able to talk about myself in too negative a light, even when I know Γm not perfect. For any other weaknesses I’ve got, you might be better off asking my current employer, Mr Dominguez.’
His answer was a risk, but he knew that if he said it in a fairly light-hearted manner, he could probably get away with it. From Katie’s response, it was clear that he had. ‘Yes,’ she said, ‘it is a bit of a silly question, isn’t it? You’d be amazed what some people say when I ask it, though. It can tell me a lot. Γm glad you didn’t fall into that trap.’
This was the first clearly positive comment that Katie had made on his interview so far, and filled Sean both with joy and hope. Perhaps he really was in with a chance of getting this job. Perhaps he would be able to put Mr Dominsuez and Brookes Brothers behind him once and for all.
A14 Waiting outside for the interview, Sean realises that
1) his shaking must look totally ridiculous.
2) staying calm is not difficult to do.
3) he has to take control of his emotions.
4) it’s the first time he’s ever been nervous.
Al 5 When Sean enters the office, he
1) wishes the chair he has to sit on is nearer the door.
2) takes too long to walk from the door to the chair.
3) almost trips over the chair he is supposed to sit on.
4) tries to get to the chair without doing anything foolish.
Al6 The answers Sean gives to the questions he is asked
1) do not contain unnecessary information.
2) show he knows he is doing quite well.
3) are a little longer than they should be.
4) show he is often unsure what to say.
Al7 Sean feels that the question about why he wants to leave his current job
1) deserves a totally truthful answer.
2) should not be answered in a negative way.
3) was not asked in a respectful way.
4) is an impossible question to answer.
Al8 Sean’s answer to the question about why he wants to leave his current job implies that
1) he is not at all happy with the way he is treated at Brookes Brothers.
2) Fisher & Fisher will be more successful in the future than Brookes Brothers.
3) both he and Fisher & Fisher could benefit from him joining the company.
4) the work at Fisher & Fisher will be much more difficult than his current work.
A19 Sean is careful to hide from Katie Sutherland the fact that he
1) has practised giving an answer.
2) has a lot of serious weaknesses.
3) thinks he doesn’t have any weaknesses.
4) knows she is trying to trick him.
A20 Katie suggests that she asks the ‘silly question’ because
1) she’s always amazed by the answers she gets.
2) she wants the people answering to feel trapped.
3) people usually give long answers to that question.
4) the answers people give can reveal things about them.
