Britain is a great place for sports and games of all sorts. Both old and young do sports. The British invented and codified the rules of many of sports and games which are now played all over the world, and there is widespread interest in most kinds of sport throughout the country.

Sea

(A story after W. Saroyan)

My father and I said good-bye to my mother and my sister. We walked down the hill to hitch a ride to my father’s house that is eleven miles up the highway, on the beach at Malibu. We walked about a mile to the old highway, got a ride in a truck for about eight or nine miles, walked another mile or two, and there we were.

The tide was high when we reached my father’s house, and the sun was almost all the way down in the sea. We went down to the beach to see what we could find there – driftwood, or pebbles, or shells. I found a spiral shell and he said it was a real prize. It was a good thing, about half as big as my hand, coloured white and grey and here and there black. We walked up the beach about a mile, and then back, but the only other things we found were half a dozen pebbles smaller then walnuts, and one piece of driftwood.

When we got back up the stairs to the front porch my father studied the driftwood he had long ago gathered on the beach and piled on the porch, to choose some pieces for the evening fire. “Most of this stuff is too good to burn,” he said.

I opened the front door so he could walk straight in with a load of wood for the fireplace. By the time he had set the wood on top of crumpled newspapers, it was dark, but I didn’t turn on the light, because I know he likes it when the first light of the evening comes from the fire. Then he put the burning match to the newspapers. In the time it took my father to inhale and exhale only once, the fire was filling the room with firelight, which is different from electric light, better and livelier and warmer. The shadows jumped out into the walls and ran up and down.

Read the text below. Match choices (A-H) to (1-4). There are four choices you do not need to use. Write your answers on the separate answer sheet.

 

(1)

In the old times the students’ life was very strict. They were not allowed to play games, to sing, to hunt, to fish or even to dance. They wore special dark clothes which they continue to wear in our days. Nowadays the English young people have fixed ideas about clothes. In clothes they prefer not the new but the good quality and durable. They dislike the brand new, in fact everything that looks bought yesterday. But it should be remembered that the English are distributed according to their class, their income, their education, their manners. Talking about the girls, they don’t seem to be as interested in new clothes meaning the very fashionable clothes, as the French girls.

(2)

An undergraduate at Oxford may have the time of his life. Two rooms, a bedroom and a sitting-room. Comfortable and cosy, although in some colleges the bedrooms are stone-cold. A scout makes his bed, looks after him, cleans up, puts things in order, a porter brings up his food, if is desired, his tea, cake, his drinks. Naturally a student does some work occasionally, mostly in the morning, he might even go to the library. Then in the afternoon he plays games. In the evening he goes out: to a club meeting, to the Union, to parties, to dances. In May there are the Eight Weeks of various sporting events. And finally there is the Boat Race against Cambridge.

(3)

Some of the students want to study part-time at the university. They join a firm and do a degree on a part-time basis so that when they qualify, they also have a few years’ practical experience behind them. Some can also be sponsored by a company. They pay for the studies and you work for them afterwards. That way a person is sure of a job. The more qualifications you’ve got, the better your chances are of getting a job. For example, a few years ago you didn’t need any qualification to work in the bank. Now you can’t get into the bank without “O” and “A” levels or a degree. Competition is greater, so they choose the people with the highest qualification.

(4)

The Britons, especially young, love sports, all kinds of sports, they are born sportsmen. Everywhere, in the playing field, listening to the radio, looking TV. They are supposed to have it in the blood. Most of the popular games have originated from this land: football, tennis, badminton and many others. Cricket is a national game played in England alone. The true sporting spirit, the fair play is the strict rule for all games and championships. Young people like to go to parties (dinner and birthday parties, and surprise parties and so on) and giving parties as well. They also like the nature and go for a walk in all weather. And they are fond of picnicking.

World

(A story after W. Saroyan)

When I got back upstairs my father had put aside his work and he’d spread newspapers on the table. He’d put plates and cups and saucers on the table, and he was getting breakfast. I showed him the rocks and shells and the piece of driftwood and he said, “They’re great, everything you’ve found is great. Look at each of them carefully. That’s the way you learn to write – by looking at everything carefully.” So while my father got breakfast I washed the rocks and shells and the piece of driftwood. I looked at each of them very carefully, turning them around, and I saw plenty. I saw that every little thing in the world is a lot more than it seems to be. There was a pebble about half the size of a walnut. It was black with a little red in it. A perfect white line separated one part of the pebble from another, almost as if the little pebble was a whole world of some kind and that white line separated the land from the water. I was glad that I was able to see a thing so clearly, to see such a small thing so big.

“What did you dream about, Pop?”

“Well, as a matter of fact,” my father said, ”I did dream last night, and I do remember what it was about. I was walking down a street somewhere early in the morning and right there in front of me I saw a whole bundle of new currency, dropped on the sidewalk by somebody carrying a lot of money into the bank. I hoped they weren’t one-dollar bills because then I would have only about five hundred dollars. But if they were ten-dollar bills I would have five thousand dollars.”

“What were they, Pop? One-dollar bills or ten-dollar bills?”

“One-hundred-dollar bills. It would be fifty thousand dollars.”

“Oh! What did you do with the money?”

“I woke up. Wash up, and let’s have breakfast.”
