__________________________________________________________________________________ TASK 1 READING In this part you will read a text of around 600 words. Read the text carefully so as to be able to complete the tasks 2, 3 and 4 following the text. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Mr Lock, who lived at the foot of a mountain, was little interested in thinking, less interested in planning, and the least interested of all in working every day. He had a family to support, but he just sat smoking his pipe and waiting for something to turn up. One day, however, his wife, who didnt like setting empty dishes before hungry children, 5 attacked her husband with strong words: Human beings have to eat, she said. I am trying hard to bring up our babies with the food you give us, but its impossible. They are dying of hunger! Dont worry. Im going up into the mountains today, and Ill certainly come back with something to eat. Then, Mr Lock slowly walked out. For a long time, Mr Lock wandered over the rocks without seeing anything worth picking 10 up. It was almost noon when he came close to the mountain top and saw a curious sight - a colossal stone figure cut out of the mountain side. It was so huge that ten men could stand on its head without crowding one another. Ages before, men had worked many months to cut this figure into human form, but now it had been forgotten for a long time. A forest nearly hid it. In front, from the ground up, wild grapevines grew over the figure to its neck, and birds flew above its head. What a 15 prize! Mr Lock exclaimed happily. High above his head, there was a large ripe pear nearly as big as a mans head hanging on a small tree which grew on the top of the stone man. That will feed the whole family, Mr Lock said. But how do I get it? Obviously, he had to climb up the stone figure. Determined to get the pear, he seized the wild grapevines and, with great effort, climbed up 20 and up, until he reached the chin of the great stone face. The big nose stood out above him, its nostrils as wide as a house door. Mr Lock stood on the stone lip and took hold of the stone nose, but he could climb no higher because the nose was slippery, and the ears were too smooth. He was stuck there. Far above him hung the pear, a gentle breeze blowing it to and fro, as if teasing him. Come and get me if you can, it seemed to be saying. He felt desperate. Suddenly, it occurred to 25 him that he could climb into one of the nostrils and hope for an exit to the top. Without hesitation, he entered the dark hole, and soon disappeared from sight. That was a brave thing to do, for everybody knows it is dangerous to disturb giants, even if theyre made of stone! Indeed, no sooner had he entered the giants nostril than there was a blast that shook the mountain. Hash-ho! Was it a great storm? Was it thunder? No, the colossus had 30 sneezed! Mr Lock must have tickled the colossus nostril! And there Mr Lock was, flying through the air! He landed in the bushes, unconscious. When Mr Lock woke up again, it was almost dark. Above him the stone figure stood still, and everything was the same as before. But, no, something had changed! The huge pear was lying in the grass next to him! When the colossus sneezed, it had shaken its head, and the big pear had dropped 35 off. Mr Lock picked it up, wondering whether his family would believe his story. Do you?
