Mrs. Goldstein (24) … (say) for weeks that she wants to take me to the Statue of Liberty, so tomorrow we (25) … (see) it. They’re a very kind family and I (26 … (feel) at home here. They (27) … (teach) me to speak with an American accent, so when I speak to you on the phone you (28) … (recognize) me!

The course I (29) … (do) in psychology is interesting. The college (30) … (situate) on the edge of Central Park, so I often (31) … (have) my lunch there as the canteen in the college (32) … (decorate) at the moment. My teachers are great.

I (35) … (not read) it yet, but it’s on my list, she (36) … (study) how children learn their first language for years and years, and I (37) … (think) she’s quite well-known.

Dad, please could you send me some money? I only (38) … (have) $10 to last me till I (39) … I (pay) next week. I (40) … (save) up for my return fare home, so you can’t be cross with me!

Exercise 1.

Read the following magazine article about mobile phones and answer the questions below.

Menace or Convenience: the lure of the mobile phone

A friend of mine was a penniless student at university in 1985 when she started to go out with a man who lived in an oil-rich eastern state. To all her friends he seemed like the possessor of boundless riches, not least because he gave her a mobile telephone so that he could contact her at any point of her day directly from his home country. Although virtually none of us had ever seen a mobile telephone before, the overriding reaction was, ‘What a waste of money ringing all that way’ as opposed to, ‘Wow, that’s brilliant’. From their earliest incarnations, these telephones have never had the capacity to thrill us in the way that other new bits of technology can. Sighs of contempt, rather than envy, would be breathed in all the first-class train carriages where mobiles started ringing in the late 1980s.

By the mid 1990s, the mobile was no longer the preserve of image-conscious businessmen. Suddenly, it seemed, every petty criminal could be seen organizing their dodgy deals as they shouted into stolen ones in the street. It was at this point that I bought a mobile. I had been sneering for years, but I reasoned that as everyone now had one, surely no-one would be offended or irritated by mine, as long as I used it exclusively in the back of taxis or other places where I could avoid intruding on people’s mental privacy.

But I immediately grew to depend on it and constantly checked that I had it, in the way that habitual smokers are said to keep checking for their cigarettes. And it affected my behaviour. Without the means of ringing ahead to say I was going to be late, for example, would I have set off for my business appointment with so little time to spare? I began to understand how those inexperienced walkers come to call out the Mountain Rescue Team from the top of some perilous peak. Without the false sense of security the phone in their pocket provided, they wouldn’t have gone up there in the first place.

What’s more, after a while, I realized that once it has got a hold on you, all telephone calls are urgent in exact proportion to the availability of a mobile to announce them. Because our modern lives have so much capacity for urgency, the mobile is turning into an enemy rather than a helpmate. It is enabling us to dash from one activity to another in the mistaken belief that we can still be in touch – with work, with other family members. Yet, although we are constantly on standby, we are not in a position to be fully engaged with anything else. No mental commitment to the task in hand is possible when the mobile can ring at any moment with another demand for our attention, no matter how legitimate. In this way, I began to feel persecuted rather than liberated.

And mobiles may be even more sinister than any of us could have dreamt. When activated, it seems, they serve as miniature tracking devices which, unknown to their owners, reveal their whereabouts at any given time, even if no calls are made or received. In a recent murder trial, the police showed that the suspect traveled to and from the murder scene, despite his having denied this, through using the computer records of his mobile’s whereabouts.

But what has really put me off my phone is a conversation I had with a terrifyingly important man – one of the most conspicuously successful in Britain. He had been to dinner the night before with two other such figures. ‘Do you know,’ he said, ‘they sat there taking calls all through dinner.’ What a let down. In my book, importance is denoted not by a ringing mobile, but rather by the ability to build up the kind of efficient and trustworthy support team that ensures you never need to take an urgent call in public. One suspects, moreover, that it is the very existence of the mobile phone that prevents effective delegation in such situations, that it represents a menace rather than a convenience.

Decide which answer to each question best fits with the passage.

According to the writer, how did people react when the first mobile phones were introduced in the 1980s?

A They were rather suspicious of them.

B They saw how useful they might be.

C They realized how popular they would be.

D They were generally unimpressed by them.

Why did the writer eventually decide to buy a mobile phone?

A She accepted that one was needed for her work.

B She realized they had become widely accepted.

C She had seen how to use one effectively.

D She had got used to the idea of them.

What immediate change did the mobile phone make to her life?

A It tended to make her less reliable.

B It caused her to do irrational things.

C It led her into dangerous situations.

D It forced her to make better use of her time.

Why did she eventually come to resent her mobile phone?

A It allowed her employers to monitor her movements.

B It prevented her from concentrating on what she was doing.

C It allowed people to make unreasonable demands on her.

D It meant that her work was invading her free time.

The writer tells us the anecdote about the important man to show that mobile phones:

A are essential in modern business.

B are a nuisance in social situations.

C may lead to less efficient management.

D may lead to a loss of business confidentiality.

Exercise2.

Answer questions 1-15 by referring to the magazine article about careers below.

People at Work

Name: Adrian Bohane. Occupation: Sales director of a company selling satellite imagery.

I usually work in the mornings and afternoons but because the company headquarters are based in Canada, I often have to turn on my personal computer as soon as I get home from the office to check for e-mails. This means about three hours more work after I should have finished for the day. My main job is to look after thirty distributors in my area so I spend much of my day making contact with them. I often attend conferences on satellite data and also do presentations to explain to clients about the industry. Most clients come from an academic background as satellite data is often used for scientific reasons.

The high point of the job has to be the excellent opportunity I have to travel and it is great to mix with people from so many nationalities. Conversely, traveling can sometimes be a low as I am never at home and it involves working on my own a great deal of the time.

Sometimes it is difficult to remain connected and know exactly what is going on at head office. However, at the end of the day I am my own boss – which is nice – so I only really have to worry about me.

In my free time I like to travel and go diving, but as I am so busy with work there is very little time for any of this. What little time I do have off is spent relaxing with friends, eating out or working in the garden.

Name: Victoria Williamson. Occupation: PA to an all-girl pop band.

I was actually part of the girls’ management team for two months, before they asked me to be their PA. If we’re in America, I get up at 6 a.m. to stay in touch with London – getting up so early can be really difficult! – but in Europe, I get up around 9.30 a.m. I go to the hotel gym, make sure everyone’s up, check in with security and confirm the day’s appointments and interviews. I’m the link between the girls and the record company, stylists, accountants and print media. Now that they manage themselves, there’s also a lot of legal paperwork to be signed and returned quickly.

I’m working all the time that I’m awake. I don’t have breaks as such, and I’m often up until 2 a.m. But because the girls have such a great sense of humour and fun, it’s always a real laugh. And at times we can get really emotional together. Working for women is fantastic because they’re much more on my wavelength than any of the male bosses I’ve had.

Name: Dr Heather Hall. Occupation: Assistant curator at a major zoo.

I arrive at the zoo at about 7.45 a.m. and catch up on what’s happening in the aquarium and reptile house. If I have time before my department meetings, I walk round each section and talk to the keepers about any problems that may have come up.

I oversee about 2,000 animals, and we are constantly reviewing which animals we want to keep. If we’re left with just one individual animal from a particular species, we try to send it to join a breeding programme at another zoo. After lunch – usually something to eat at my desk – I open my post, which includes letters and questionnaires from students and other zoos, which I respond to. My afternoon work is likely to be more diverse. I work closely with a group of scientists at the Institute of Zoology, working on population and species management. I show visitors from other zoos and institutes around, talking them through the set-up. I also give lectures to students, anglers, fish hobbyists and members of the public. I finish work at 6 p.m., when somebody else takes over, and if I sometimes spend evenings at home, catching up with reading or research, that’s really for my own interest.

Name: Hannah Latham. Occupation: Motorcycle courier.

I do about fifteen to twenty-five pick-ups a day. I mainly pick up and deliver small packets – that’s all fairly standard, but sometimes I take passports to embassies, wait for visas to be issued, or pay cheques into banks. Some of the requests can be quite strange: I once had to deliver 20 cream cheese bagels to a café! A lot of my work is in inner London, so I have to be really careful, especially in wet weather. The job takes a lot of concentration, and I occasionally get angry with drivers, but I have to control my road rage as it impairs my riding. I used to get lost quite a bit at first, but it didn’t take long to develop my map-reading skills.

I do feel really satisfied when I’ve had a good day, and I don’t seem to have any problems switching off in the evening. I used to work Saturdays, too, but now my weekends are completely taken up with motorcycle racing, which is my new passion.

Which person:

liaises with his/her staff in person? 1

feels great empathy with his/her employers? 2

encountered difficulties with the job initially? 3

occasionally feels the need for more contact with people? 4

liaises with an academic body? 5

gives lectures to groups of business clients? 12

has to hold his/her emotions in check? 13

is co-operative with organisations similar to his/her own? 14

regards the main part of his/her job as routine? 15
