PART 2: READING ( 17 marks )

Section 1: Questions (1) – (8) Questions (1) – (8) / 8 marks You are going to read an extract from a novel. For questions (1)-(8), choose the answer (A, B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text. There was a small breeze... There was a small breeze when Christine came out for her lunch as she usually did, (line 1) even when it was raining, instead of going up to the store canteen. You could never get a table to yourself there, and whoever sat with you always wanted to complain about the shop, the customers, the management or the canteen food. Everyone at Goldwyn’s seemed to have a complaint of some kind, although it was one of the best London stores to work for, and many of the staff had been there for years – some of them were long past retiring age. This was because the management let them stay on even when they were really past it, like poor old Martha, who was always trying to sell people dresses that were much too old for them. Christine herself had been in the book department for more than four years. She had started as a junior, knocking over piles of books and breaking the till once a week in her efforts to serve customers quickly. Now she was Head Salesperson and moved calmly around the department between the bright new paperbacks, knowing that book customers liked to take their time, unlike the people who stampeded through the other (line 14) parts of the shop with never a moment to spare. She knew every book in the place, and all about the new ones before they came out. She was said to be Mr Parker’s right-hand person – and heaven knows he needed one – and was sometimes asked into his office to meet a favoured publisher’s representative. The book department, partly due to Mr Parker’s weak administration and partly because it was thought to be sophisticated, was the only department in Goldwyn’s where you did not have to wear black. This led to some confusion as to who was an (line 21) assistant and who was a customer, not untypical of bookshops, and accounted for the distressed look of people who picked up a book they wanted but were afraid of having their elbows grasped by the store detective before they could find someone to take their money. Christine was wearing her grey suit today. She liked the grey suit. She had liked it

6

for a long time, because she had accepted her aunt’s advice that it was better to buy an expensive suit that would last than to keep buying cheap suits that looked very smart for a few weeks, until they began to wrinkle at the elbows and sag at the seat. The grey suit had been what the shop had called a ‘classic’, which meant that nobody would ever turn round in the street to look at it, but it would stand having its skirt taken up or let down according to the swings of fashion. Christine liked her work, as much as one can like any job that imprisons one from nine till five-thirty. She liked Goldwyn’s, but she was always glad to get away from it at lunchtime, even though it meant queuing for a table at one of the restaurants and teashops that fed the local shop-workers. Here people tended to eat with one eye on their watches and had a taste for things like pasta and puddings which were the most filling at the least cost. But Christine, once seated, enjoyed a leisurely, if lonely, sandwich. Alice, who was her junior, was always meeting people at lunchtime. Even if it was only a man who had picked up her handkerchief in the cafeteria, she made it sound exciting, like an adventure. Alice and the other junior, Helen, were always giggling in the classics section where the customers did not go much. If Christine came along, they would suddenly look serious and pretend to be straightening books. Christine thought this should have made her feel very old, but it didn’t. She was so much happier than she had been at the giggling age. She liked her authority in the book department. Sometimes, outside, she insecurely wondered how she stood in relation to the rest of the world. At Goldwyn’s she was someone. 1.

Section 2: Questions (9) – (17) Questions (9) – (17) : true or false statements? / 9 marks You are going to read an extract from a story. For questions (9)-(17), choose the answer T (True) or F (False) which you think fits best according to the text. LIAR! LIAR! YOU’RE A HIGH-FLYER

I’ve always been ambitious. Very ambitious. But I learned quickly that honesty doesn’t always pay; in fact, some of the best careers in the business have been built on lies. There’s no doubt, if you embellish the truth, you really can fly, which is why I rewrote my CV: I changed my school, my university and my background and I altered my family. And I have to say, those fibs took me places. I partied with the Beautiful People and featured on the society pages of the glossy magazines. From there, it was just a few small steps to a job with the BBC as a researcher/producer, followed by a stint as a journalist with The Sunday Times, then the Evening Standard. I learned my lesson the hard way – aged 21, at a screen test for a place on a television training scheme. While burning under the spotlights, I heard the head of the TV company say he’d “never seen anyone so natural”. So I got the position, right? Wrong. It went to the girl whose father played golf with the boss. I was heartbroken – but it taught me talent alone won’t get you that dream job. It’s about who you know – or, crucially, who you say you know.

So, I started to change my story. Suddenly, I was educated at Roedean rather than my local state school. Oxford University replaced Manchester. Oh, and my father was upgraded from structural engineer to Sri Lankan ambassador. With a few swift strokes of the pen, I became a thoroughly upper-class babe. And people believed me. It was only occasionally, in the evenings, home alone, that reality would hit. But I’d silence the Real Me by reassuring myself this was nothing new. People have told fibs since the beginning of time. And the way things are in the job market, everybody has to bend the truth. But I couldn’t help wondering, would I ever be able to be myself? You see, lying is the new currency for moving up in the world. Whereas honesty was once seen as the best policy, high-flyers recognise a little exaggeration and a few white lies can make the difference between getting that job, that promotion – or staying right where you are. I kept up the act for two years, during which time, I couldn’t have a boyfriend or really get close to anyone. How could I, when this might mean home visits or meeting my parents? My stomach churned, and I developed really bad acne and eczema with the stress. I lost a stone in weight and could never sleep properly. I knew deep down some day the truth was bound to come out. It happened after and inaccurate tabloid report linked me with the Marquis of Cholmondeley. Jurnalists quickly started digging around. Roedean and Oxford had no record of me (surprise, surprise), and the Sri Lankan Ambassador had no recollection of his journalist daughter. After a tabloid expose, I was doorstepped by the very same photographers with whom I’d once partied. But if the unmasking was embarrasing for me, it was even more so for the media executives who employed me. They like to see themselves as openminded - and yet they were attracted by my Roedean/Oxford education. Should school and university really make a difference? I don’t fib any more. I’ve worked too hard to get where I am. Fibs, unfortunately are liable to creep up on you and bite back at the most inconvenient moments. So, all you fibbers beware. Fly high – and lie high – if you must, but always, always keep one eye on your tracks. True or false?

9. The main character is a girl from a rich and influential family. 10. The main character became a member of a high-class society. 11. She worked for the BBC.

12. When she was disappointed because she didn’t get her dream job at the age

of 21, she decided to go to a different university. 13. Her father was a structural engineer.

14. She never told lies about her life. 15. She was educated at Roedean and Oxford. 16. Her employers were happy when the truth was discovered.

17. She does not lie now because she is afraid the truth might be discovered.
