Read the text and questions below. For each question, circle the letter next to the
correct answer (A, B, C or D)
When I opened the first 'Body Shop' in 1976 my only object was to earn enough to
feed my children. Today 'The Body Shop' is an international company rapidly
growing all around the world. In the years since we began I have learned a lot. Much
of what I have learned will be found in this book, for I believe that we, as a company,
have something W0l1h saying about how to run a successful business without giving
up what we really believe in.
It's not a normal business book, nor is it just about my life. The message is that to
succeed in business you have to be different. Business can be fun, a business can be
run with love and it can do good. In business, as in life, I need to enjoy myself, to
have a feeling of family and to feel excited by the unexpected. I have always wanted
the people who work for 'The Body Shop' to feel the same way.
Now this book sends these ideas of mine out into the world, makes them public. I'd
like to think there are no limits to our 'family', no limits to what can be done. I find
that an exciting thought. I hope you do, too.

A month ago I had no idea that on a Saturday afternoon in November I'd be
hanging 30 metres above the ground and enjoying it. Now I looked down at the river
far below me, and realised why people love rock-climbing.
My friend Matt and I had arrived at the Activity Centre on Friday evening. The
accommodation wasn't wonderful, but we had everything we needed (beds,blankets,
food), and we were pleased to be out of the city and in the fresh air.
On Saturday morning we met the other ten members of our group. Cameron had
come along with two friends, Kevin and Simon, while sisters Carole and Lynn had
come with Amanda. We had come from various places and none of us knew the area.
We knew we were going to spend the weekend outdoors, but none of us was sure
exactly how. Half of us spent the morning caving while the others went rock climbing
and then we changed at lunchtime. Matt and I went to the caves first. Climbing out
was harder than going in, but after a good deal of pushing, we were out at last covered in mud but pleased and, excited by what we'd done.

Read the text and questions below. For each question, circle the letter next to the
correct answer (A, B, C or D)
John Fisher, a builder, and his wife Elizabeth wanted more living space, so they left
their small flat for an old 40-metre-high castle tower. They have spent five years
turning it into a beautiful home with six floors, winning three architectural prizes.
'I love the space, and being private,' Elizabeth says. 'You feel separated from the
world. If I'm in the kitchen, which is 25 metres above the ground floor, and the
doorbell rings, I don't have to answer it because visitors can't see I'm in!'
'There are 142 steps to the top, so if I go up and down five or six times a day, it's very
good exercise! But having to carry heavy things to the top is terrible, so I never buy
more than two bags of shopping from the supermarket at a time. Apart from that, it's a
brilliant place to live.'
'When we first saw the place, I asked my father's advice about buying it, because we
couldn't decide. After paying for it, we were a bit worried because it looked awful.
But we really loved it, and knew how we wanted it to look.'
'Living here can be difficult - yesterday I climbed a four-metre ladder to clean the
windows. But when you stand on the roof you can see all the way out to sea on a
clear day, and that's a wonderful experience. I'm really glad we moved.'
16. What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A.
describe how to turn an old tower into a house

recommend a particular builder

describe what it is like to live in a tower

A.
why visitors are not welcome at John and Elizabeth's house.
B.
why Elizabeth exercises every day.
C.
why Elizabeth asked her father to buy the tower.
D.

She wanted it as soon as she saw it.
B.
She likes most things about it.
C
She has been worried since they paid for it.

Last week I went to visit Atlantic College, an excellent private college in Wales.
Unusually, it gives young people much needed experience of life outside the
classroom, as well as the opportunity to study for their exams. The students, who are
aged between 16 and 18 and come from all over the world, spend the morning
studying. In the afternoon they go out and do a really useful activity, such as helping
on the farm, looking after people with learning difficulties, or checking for pollution
in rivers.
One of the great things about Atlantic College students is that they come from many
different social backgrounds and countries. As few can afford the fees of 20,000
over two years, grants are available. A quarter of the students are British, and many of
those can only attend because they receive government help.
'I really admire the college for trying to encourage international understanding among
young people', as Barbara Molenkamp, a student from the Netherlands, said. 'You
learn to live with people and respect them, even the ones you don't like. During the
summer holidays my mother couldn't believe how much less I argued with my sister.'
To sum up, Atlantic College gives its students an excellent education, using methods
which really seem to work.
16. What is the writer trying to do in the text?
A.
give an opinion" about a particular student
B.
give an opinion about a special type of education
C.
describe the activities the students do in their free time
D.
describe his own experience of education
A
how to become a student at Atlantic College
B.
what kind of programme Atlantic College offers
C
what the British education system is like
D
how to get along better with other people
18. What is the writer's opinion of Atlantic College?
A
It doesn't allow students enough study time.
B.
Its students are taught to like each other.
C
It doesn't give good value for money.
D.
Its way of teaching is successful.
19. Since being at Atlantic College, Barbara
