C. READING
I. Read the passage and choose the best answer.
We live in a two-bedroom house as soon as James starts calling “Mummy, Mummy” around seven
every morning, he wakes everyone up. Being his mother I like to be the first to greet him, so I get up.
I take him downstairs and start getting breakfast ready. Before long the other kids – Heather (almost
17), Mary (10) and Stella (8) – are also down. If Paul is recording or we are touring, I try to make sure he’s
not disturbed. But if he isn’t working, he gets up at the same time and joins the kids at breakfast. He’s an
excellent father, very involved and protective towards them.
It seemed mad to have moved from a large house in London to a small place on the South coast, but
it is so much cosier. Paul and I are in the kind if business where we can be totally detached from our kids and
hardly see them grow up.
Quite often Paul comes with me when I drive the girls to school. Mary and Stella go to a local
primary school and Heather attends a nearby art school. I drive a Mini because being an American I’m used
to wide road, so with a small car I have no fear about scrapping it.
I buy most of the kids’ clothes at Mothercare. I look at their catalogue or go into the shop and pick

out things that are made from natural fibres. I myself feel most comfortable in jeans and T-shirts. I don’t
really spend that much – even though Paul pays all the bills!
Paul never helps me with doing housework. He likes tidiness but it’s not too tidy himself! One

interest we share closely is football. We rarely get to see matches but we always watch it on television. Paul
is a great Liverpool fan, so we support Liverpool.
There’s so much I’d like to do, especially in the photographic field. But when it comes down I just
can’t bring myself to leave the kids and go to take pictures. So I stay at home and take the pictures of them
instead. Most of our evenings are spent in front of the television. Before I turn in for the night, I always go to
the kids’ bedroom and give them each a kiss.
