Marmalade
Marmalade is a type of jam made from oranges. It is remarkably popular in Britain, where it
is (1- tradition ) eaten on toast at breakfast. However, although it is an (2- day )
part of life in Britain, it is not British. Marmalade ( 3 - origin ) came from Portugal and
the word comes from a Portuguese word.
After its (4 - arrive ) in Britain in 1495, marmalade was first eaten as an after - dinner
sweet. It was often moulded into (5 - attract ) shapes and then sliced. It was
considered a very ( 6- desire ) delicacy and an excellent gift and today it is not ( 7-
common ) for people to give jars of marmalade as presents. Marmalade was also
used as a ( 8 – treat ) for coughs and it was thought to (9 – strong ) the heart.
Today the ( 10 – base ) ingredient of marmalade is the Seville orange from Spain.

Communication
Managers spend most of their time communicating- reading , writing, talking or
listening yet the evidence is they do not always do this successfully. One reason
that has been suggested for this is that, in the past, communication was regarded
like a natural process, not taught in any formal sense. This theory has been
changing, and the concept in communication as an art now appears regularly in“ ”
management courses and seminars. Communication is probably one of the least
appreciated aspect of management, and more and more organisations are realising
that effective communication involves to tell staff why things are happening. This
not only helps day – to – day working but allows changes to be introducing more
smoothly, and sometimes leads to improvements being mentioned by staff. Both the
morale and efficiency of an organisation depends to a great extent on the abilities of
its staff to communicate effectively. Communication is not something which should
be undertaken only when trouble occurs. It should be a daily habit if the organisation
is to run smoothly and avoid difficulties and, of course, it should be the two - way
process, involving listening as well as talking. Regular exchanges of ideas between
managers and staff will help to create a good teamwork .

Section C : reading and speaking
I. Read the following text and choose the best answer for the questions below
The moment for Olympic glory and gold occurs once every four years a moment which
becomes the focus for the lives of athletes from al over the world. This one event is their

ultimate goal, the high point of their ambition, and in order to achieve their dream they are
prepared to make any sacrifice.
Most athletes consider themselves fortunate to have one chance to shine at an Olympic
Games, while others may be fortunate to get two or more chances. All are selected by their
national Olympic Committee to represent their country, and once selected they face two
major demands. The first is the mountain of form-filling, paperwork and administration. The
second is to finalise their preparation for the Games. Most athletes have highly-
developed training schedules which enable them to reach the height of their performance
for a particular event. However, the Olympics creates its own timetable and pressures.
When I was selected to represent the Great Britain, I had approximately a hundred days to
prepare. This included finalising training plans, raising nearly $ 16,000 towards the costs,
seeing to travel arrangements and entry forms, and having discussions with my employer
about extra time off work to allow me to prepare fully.
Through my sailing career, I had never had the opportunity to become a full time athlete,
so I needed to pursue my business career at the same time as my sporting objectives.
However, any top- class athlete in any sport needs a level of business skills when
competing at Olympic standard. They need the ability to plan and arrange for all the
expenses effectively as well as work towards definite aims.
Once you arrive, you stay in the Olympic Village , which is really a small town housing“ ”
15,000 people - 10,000 athletes and 5,000 officials - from every imaginable culture and
background. It is fascinating to watch athletes from tiny gymnasts to huge weightlifters and
basketball players, and best of all is the excitement of being part of such a select
gathering. There are training facilities, souvenir shops, launderettes, a bank and a post
office, as well as the Village restaurant which seats over 3.000 people at one time. The
outdoor plazas become a meeting place for athletes from around the world, and from
there you can see people returning with their medals proudly displayed around their necks
or bravely hiding their tears of defeat or disappointment.
So what does it feel like to go to an Olympics? It can be summed up in many ways by the
opening ceremony, where thousands of athletes and officials parade wearing their team
kit. To most it is an event they will never forget and the honour of just being there is almost

magical. And perhaps winning a medal is one of life s major experiences. For me it was the’
thoughts of family and friends who had all played a part on my road to success, and it felt
wonderful.

On Camera.
When I saw the notice Women film extras wanted in a local newspaper. .I jumped at“ ”
the chance. As a child I had dreamt of being a film star. (1) .
The casting interview, held in a church hall with many budding actors in attendance, went
well, and two days later I was told that I had been chosen. The production in question was
revealed as Scottish Television s Dr Friday Drama, which is set in the 1950s.’
(2) Extras are often left in the dark for some time when it comes to being told which
role they will play. Finally, the nature of my role was revealed. I was asked to play a mental
hospital patient.
(3) Then, barely a week later, the day of filming dawned. All 13 of us extras, mainly
housewives, were told to change into our costumes in the wardrobe department. Then we
were driven to the location, a hospital on the fringes of Glasgow. It seems that it is
common for old hospitals to be used in this way.
On arriving, we were given coffee and tea, which looked and tasted like cement. Then we
were rushed off to make- up. My hair was pinned back and make - up was applied that
gave me a pale appearance. Then we were sent to the mini bus for a few hours, as the
camera rolled elsewhere.
After the second hour had passed I was becoming bored. ( 4) I had expected to be so
busy that I hadn t come prepared for a long wait. ’ Many of the others had brought a book or knitting.
Three hours had passed (5) A large room in the hospital had been transformed into a
dayroom for that purpose. Although I had expected the room to be warm because of the

lighting equipment present, it was quite chilly.
When the director came in, we were instructed what to do and where to stand. Along with a
few others, I was told to sit at a table and weave baskets. (6) The cane we had to use
was very long. On several occasions my basket fell apart in front of my very eyes. On
others, I only succeeded in hitting the camera - man in the eye.
(7) Jean, who was bare foot, had to circle the floor. Poor Alice was asked to pretend
to bang her head against the wall. Meanwhile., Veronica swept the floor.
Thankfully, after just a few attempts, the scenes were done. (8) Although I found the
experience very interesting, my first screen role will almost certainly be my last.
A This was not an easy task.
B. Life for the other extras was far from
easy
C. So some things just aren’t meant to
happen, I suppose.
D. Despite my disappointment, I agreed to
participate.
F. I was to lose some of my enthusiasm for
the idea, however.
G. I bet stars are never treated like this, I
thought.
H. Then at last we were called to do our
scenes.
I. Now at last I would get my chance.

Missing information
We are basically no different from any other living creature on this planet. We need fresh

air, water and energy to survive, and the natural environment (1 ) us defines the limits
of our existence. Our survival here (2) on how we get information about those limits,
and how well we can adapt our life within them.
Our intelligence, senses, and instincts are all different ways in ( 3 ) we understand our
surroundings, but over (4) course of the centuries, intelligence based on
communication by ( 5 ) of language has become our dominant antenna. Intellect and
language have triumphed ( 6 ) . our senses. Logical thinking and testing in modern
science have
( 7 ) to be very effective in improving our material and physical circumstances.
Yet, ( 8 ) the enormous increase in the volume of the information ( 9 ) to us in the
modern world, we do not know much ( 10 ) about the basic structure of the universe
or the laws of life than did our ancestors thousands of years ( 11 ) . Fundamental
questions ( 12 ) to confuse us, and today we face much bigger survival - related
problems than the generations that went before us (13 ) to deal with. Generally
( 14 ) , modern ( 15 ) to problem- solving may produce a fast solution to one
problem, but ultimately create two or even more new ones. Analytical thinking deserves
respect, but we must recognise its serious limitations and examine other ways of
perceiving world.

I. Read the following text and choose the best answer for the questions below
I left school at fifteen. I was an academically bright lad who was urged by some of his
teachers not to leave but wanted out to see life and didn t want to reach beyond the’
expectations of the friends who left school with me. I worked for a year in a laundry as a
van boy delivering dry cleaning.
On turning sixteen, I applied to be an eventually began working as a trainee trainee
heating engineer with a medium sized company in East Belfast The first months were
boring. The work was not demanding but I found the environment of a factory annoying I
remember my first week. I left the factory to meet up with a friend and I realised that I had
forgotten to collect my wages. My friend thought I was an idiot. After many months
working in the factory, I was sent to college to study for my Certificate of Heating
Engineering> I found the classroom routine unpleasant and I remember feeling a sense of
irritation. Five years of this- to end up as a heating engineer and continue with that for the
foreseeable future was not an exciting thought.
Although I left school against the advice of my teachers I had without telling anyone tried to
continue my studies in literature at evening classes. It was a boring walk from the end of
the city to another and to sit among adults was confusing. I was the youngest in the class,
so the companionship I knew at school was absent. I put up with it for a short period. It
was too long a walk on cold winter s nights and it was hard to concentrate on Shakespeare’
with wet shoes and soaking trousers. So I carried on reading books and writing poetry at

hone.
By chance I won some prizes and literary awards on national competitions. A young
woman from a TV company came to the college one day. She told me in the quiet of the
corridor that I had won a national poetry award. I stared at her in astonishment and

disbelief. She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said : No, I couldn t do“ ’
that > Not that I had any real excuse . I was just frightened. She eventually persuaded me”
that I should do it the following day.
Off I went to Shaw Bridge on the outskirts of Belfast. They made a short films of me
reading one of my poems and I was forever after occupied with a fascination for words. I
wondered what I should do after this and decided some weeks after that I could not stand
the idea of spending the rest of my life dealing with pipes. So one evening I told my
parents that I wanted to return to school. They were shocked and I think, a little afraid but
they did not try to persuade me not to. They wanted to know If I was sure, If I knew what it
meant, and whether I was aware that if I gave up my training it would be very difficult to get
a good job but nothing could put me off and they pursued the matter no further.
