A. Read the text and answer the following questions! (score:20)

Most people avoid eating dangerous foods. They don’t want to get sick. However,
there’s one food that can be deadly, yet some people eat it in one purpose. It’s
called the puffer fish. The kind of fish, called Fugu in Japanese, lives in the
Pacific Ocean. Some people die every year from eating fugu. In fact, the
Emperor of Japan is not allowed to touch it. Why? Well, the inside of the puffer
fish are very poisonous. They contain poison 275 times more powerful than the
deadly poison cyanide. Usually nothing bad happens when fugu is on a
restaurant’s menu. Customers feel great after the meal. That’s because chefs are
trained to remove the inside of the puffer fish before they give it to customers. If
they miss even a small amount, the fish is not safe to eat. Puffer fish is very
expensive. A plat of fugu costs more than $200 in some restaurants in Tokyo.
Besides being dangerous to eat, the fish is very ugly, with spines all over its body.
Also, it can puff, or blow, itself up to double its normal size. Why do the
Japanese risk so much for such an ugly and dangerous fish? Well, some people
like taking risks. And fugu tastes wonderful.

used work wanted repair saved opened bought had remembered

employed

Yesterday afternoon Frank Hawkins was telling me about his experiences as a young man.
Frank is now the head of a very large business company, but as a boy he used to work in a
small shop. It was his job to repair bicycles, and at that time he used to work fourteen hours a
day. He saved money for years, and in 1938 he bought a small work-shop of his own. During
the war, Frank used to make spare parts for aeroplanes. At that time he had two helpers. By
the end of the war, the small work-shop had become a large factory which employed seven
 hundred and twenty-eight people. Frank smiled when he remembered his hard early years and
the long road to success. He was still smiling when the door opened and his wife came in. She
wanted him to repair their son’s bicycle.
