Marrakech in Morocco looks like a Hollywood film set. It is a city of ancient sand-coloured buildings
and palm trees in the middle of the desert.
In the centre is the main square, Jemaa el Fna. Here you can see dancing snakes and drink Moroccan
coffee. But behind the square is the real heart of the city. This is the souk (the Arabic word for market).
Hundreds of little shops and stalls are open from early morning till lunchtime, and again in the evening. The
souk, with its narrow, busy streets, is divided into lots of smaller souks. There’s the aromatic spice souk with
its lovely smells, the noisy meat souk with not so lovely smells, the colourful clothing souk, the gold and
silver souk, and many more.
Finally, there’s the carpet souk. Here, hundreds of handmade Morrocan rugs and carpets cover the
pavements. No two rugs are the same. In Mr Youssef’s rug shop, he invites you to sit down among all the
beautiful carpets. A silver teapot arrives with little glasses and Mr Youssef talks about the different rugs,
while his assistants roll them out one by one. Two hours later, after many glasses of traditional mint tea and
lots of bargaining, you finally choose your rug and leave much poorer. Then, it’s time to return to the main
square to watch the snakes and count your money.

14. Market stalls are open ___________ .

A) all day

Part 2: Directions for questions 20 – 27: In this part, you will read a passage. There are 8 questions on the
passage. Choose the best answer A, B, C, or D to each question according to the passage and mark your
answer sheet. DO NOT WRITE ON THE TEST BOOKLET.

We all love to see photographs of the rich and famous. Most famous people dislike having their
photographs taken by the paparazzi (media photographers), but the newspapers and magazines keep printing
them anyway. We already know how the celebrities feel, but what about the photographers? Photo agencies
receive thousands, or even millions, of pounds for pictures of the celebrities, so when they employ a
photographer, he or she knows that it won't be a regular nine to five job.
The paparazzi follow celebrities wherever they go. It might be to a yoga class, shopping or to a
nightclub. If they go abroad on holiday, the paparazzi rush to the airport, buy a ticket and follow them. ‘I'm
a celebrity hunter!’ says Steve from the agency Snapper. But it isn't easy to catch a celebrity. They know a
lot of ways to avoid being photographed. Some even employ lookalikes, who look and dress the same as
them. They try to trick the paparazzi into following them so the real celebrity can get away. To be
successful, photographers have to be clever. Experienced photographers sometimes pay people who live
near a celebrity to let them take photographs out of their windows. Steve, who has been chasing celebrities
for six years, says he has never felt bad about invading people's privacy. ‘These celebrities make a lot of
money from being famous. Being photographed is part of the job.’
But the celebrity chase isn't always thrilling. Patrick works for CelebPic. He says, ‘Once I spent three
boring days in a hotel room waiting to photograph Tom Cruise. He never appeared.’ Occasionally celebrities
become angry or aggressive. They have thrown cups of hot coffee, shouted at or even attacked
photographers. But Max, an ex–paparazzi, feels sorry for the celebrities. ‘Sometimes, they have around
twenty photographers following them. It must be very stressful. That's why I retired.’
