Exercise 11. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Although I left university with a good degree, I suddenly found that it was actually quite hard to find a job. After being unemployed for a few months, I realized I had to take the first thing that came along or I'd be in serious financial difficulties. And so, for six very long months, I became a market research telephone interviewer.
I knew it wasn't the best company in the world when they told me that I'd have to undergo three days of training before starting work, and that I wouldn't get paid for any of it. Still, I knew that the hourly rate when I actually did start full time would be a lot better than unemployment benefit, and I could work up to twelve hours a day, seven days a week if I wanted. So, I thought of the money I'd earn and put up with three days of unpaid training. Whatever those three days taught me - and I can't really remember anything about them today - I wasn't prepared for the way I would be treated by the supervisors.
It was worse than being at school. There were about twenty interviewers like myself, each sitting in a small, dark booth with an ancient computer and a dirty telephone. The booths were around the walls of the fifth floor of a concrete office block, and the supervisors sat in the middle of the room, listening in to all of our telephone interviews. We weren't allowed to talk to each other, and if we took more than about two seconds from ending one phone call and starting another, they would shout at us to hurry up and get on with our jobs. We even had to ask for permission to go to the toilet. I was amazed how slowly the day went. Our first break of the day came at eleven o'clock, two hours after we started. I'll always remember that feeling of despair when I would look at my watch thinking, 'It's must be nearly time for the break', only to find that it was quarter to ten and that there was another hour and a quarter to go. My next thought was always, 'I can't believe I'm going to be here until nine o'clock tonight.'
The most frightening aspect of the job was that I was actually quite good at it. 'Oh, no!' I thought. ‘Maybe I'm destined to be a market researcher for the rest of my life.' My boss certainly seemed to think so. One day - during a break, of course - she ordered me into her office. 'Simon,' she said, 'I'm promoting you. From tomorrow, you're off telecoms and onto credit card complaints. I'm sure you can handle it. There's no extra pay, but it is a very responsible position.'
Three weeks later, I quit. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
118. Why did the writer become a market research telephone interviewer?
A. He had completely run out of money.
B. He had the right university degree for the job.
C. It was the first job he was offered.

B. silent and dirty
C. untidy and crowded

A. He felt that he would have to go home early.
B. He felt that he wouldn't survive to the end of the day.

C. It involved greater responsibility.
D. There was no increase in salary.
Exercise 12. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
THE SECRETARY
In olden days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something far too shocking to distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.
Then came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. Aman's secretary became his personal servant, charged with remembering his wife's birthday a nd buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners; telling lies on the telephone to keep people he did not wish to speak to at bay; and, of course, typing, filing and taking short hand.
Now all this may be changing again. The microchip and high technology is sweeping the British office, taking with it much of the routine clerical work that secretaries did. "Once office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again because it will involve only the high-powered work - and then men will want to do it again."
That was said by one of the executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the US. One girl described to me a recent temporary job placing men in secretarial jobs in San Francisco, she noted that all the men she dealt with appeared to be gay so possibly that is just a new twist to the old story.
Over here, though, there are men coming onto the job market as secretaries. Classically, girls have learned shorthand and typing and gone into a company to seek their fortune from the bottom - and that's what happened to John Bowman. Although he joined a national grocery chain as secretary to its first woman senior manager, he has since been promoted to an administrative job.
"I filled in the application form and said I could do audio/typing, and in fact I was the only applicant. The girls were reluctant to work for this young, glamorous new woman with all this power in the firm.
I did typing at school, and then a commercial course. I just thought it would be useful finding a job. I never got any funny treatment from the girls, though I admit I've never met another male secretary. But then I joined the Post Office as a clerk and fiddled with the typewriter, and wrote letters, and thought that after all secretaries were getting a good £ 1,000 a year more than clerks like me. There were a shortage at that time, you see.
It was simpler working for a woman than for a man. I found she made decisions, she told every body what she thought, and there was none of that male bitchiness, or that stuff 'ring this number for me dear' which men go in for.
Don't forget we were a team - that's how I feel about it - not boss and servant but two people doing different things for the same purpose.”
One high technology has made the job of secretary less routine, will there be a male take over? Men should beware of thinking that they can walk right into the better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well as them - not just because they can buy negligees for the boss's wife, but because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and computers as men.
123. Before 1914 female secretaries were rare because they ____.
A. were less efficient than men
B. wore stockings
C. were not as serious as men
D. would have disturbed the other office workers
124. A female secretary has been expected, besides other duties, to ____.
A. be her boss's memory
B. do everything her boss asked her to
C. clean her boss's clothes
D. telephone her boss's wife
125. A secretary in the future will ____.
A. be better paid
B. have less work to do
C. have higher status
D. have more work to do
126. He was given his first job as a secretary because ____.
A. he had the best qualifications
B. he was lucky
C. he wanted to work for a woman
D. no one else applied
127. He did a commercial course because he ____.
A. couldn't think of anything else to do
B. thought it would help him to find a job
C. had done typing at school
D. wanted to become a secretary
128. When he was a post office clerk, secretaries were better paid because ____.

B. they were better trained
C. they had greater responsibility
D. they worked longer hours
