Text 1
Love a Dog
I did not rush into getting a dog of my own. Despite the happy dogs of my youth, I wasn't sure about the commitment. What about those spontaneous trips out of town? What about vet bills and sleeping late and going for walks in the pounding, freezing rain? It seemed like a level of adulthood I wasn't ready for yet.
Oh, nobody's ready. It's just that one day you're walking through the park not even thinking about a dog, but there she is, the giant ears, the bright eyes, the tail that wags a full 75 per cent of her body. In an instant, all those solid reasons become nothing more than a collection of flimsy excuses. The girl who is trying to give her away (she found the puppy by the side of the road in a snowstorm) gives her to you because she is Your Dog.
Or that's how it was for me and Rosie
Like any love, it was exciting at first. I couldn't get my work done. I kept having to stop and roll around on the floor with her. She followed me around from room to room, licking my ankles. She was small and white, maybe a cross between a Jack Russell and a Chihuahua, without the deep neurosis of either breed. If shedding were an Olympic sport, she would have brought home the gold.
Task 1: Choose the correct answer (A, B, C or D):
1. The author was hesitant to get a dog because...

A true story
King Louis the Eleventh was the King of France about 500 years ago. One day a young man said to the king, “I can see the future”. This was not true, but the king believed him. The young man was pleased and he hoped to get an important job. But King Louis thought, “This man knows the future, so he knows more than I know. He is dangerous and I must kill him.”
The king said to his servants, “I’m going to invite that man to have dinner with me. When he comes, watch my hand. When I lift up my hand, throw him out of the window.”
That evening the young man came to the king’s private room. The king had a smile on his face, but it was not a friendly smile. He said to the man, “You know the future, so tell me your future. When are you going to die?”
Then the young man understood his mistake. He thought quickly before he answered the king’s question. “I am going to die three days before you,” he said.
The king stopped smiling. The servants watched the king’s hand, but it did not move. The young man was safe; but he never told another lie after that.
Task 2: Decide whether the following statements are True or False .

A Good Man is Hard to Find
After F. O’Connor
The grandmother didn't want to go to Florida. She wanted to visit some of her family in east Tennessee and she was seizing every chance to change Bailey's mind. Bailey was her son she lived with, her only son. He was sitting on the edge of his chair at the table, bent over the orange sports section of the Journal. "Now look here, Bailey", she said, "see here, read this", and she stood with one hand on her thin hip and the other rattling the newspaper at his bald head...
Bailey, didn't look up from his reading so she wheeled around then and faced the children's mother; a young woman in slacks, whose face was broad and innocent as a cabbage and was tied with a green handkerchief that had two points on the top like rabbit's ears. She was sitting on the sofa, feeding the baby apricots out of a jar. "The children have been to Florida before", the old lady said. "You all ought to take them somewhere else for a change so they would see different parts of the world and be broad. They have never been to east Tennessee".
The children's mother didn't seem to hear her but the eight-year-old boy, John Wesley, a stocky child with glasses, said, "If you don't want to go to Florida, why don't you stay at home?!" He and the little girl, June Star, were reading the funny papers on the floor.
Task 3: Decide whether the following statements are True or False.
11. The children had already been to Florida.
