That night as Easton walked home through the rain he felt very depressed It had been a very
bad summer for most people and he had not fared better than the rest A few weeks with one firm, a
few days with another, then out of a job, then on again for a month perhaps, and so on
William Easton was a man of medium height, about 23 years old, "with fair hair and
moustache and blue eyes His clothes, though shabby, were clean and neat but the holes in his shoes
made it painful to walk
He was married His wife was a young woman whose acquaintance he had made when he
happened to be employed with others painting the outside of the house where she was a general
servant Easton had been in no hurry to marry for he knew that, taking good times with bad, his
Trang 4wages did not average a pound a week However, after going out for 18 months they were finally married
That was a year ago As a single man, he had never troubled much if he happened to be out of work He is always had enough to live on and pocket money besides, but now that he was married it was different; the fear of being 'out' haunted him all the time
He had started for Rushton and Co on the previous Monday after having been idle for three weeks and, as the house where he was working had to be done right through, he had congratulated himself on having secured a job that would last till Christmas; but he now began to fear that what had happened to Jack Linden - a master craftsman - might also happen to himself at any time He would have to be very careful not to offend Bill Crass in any way He was afraid that the latter did not like him very much as it was He knew that Crass could get him the sack at any time and would not scruple to do so if he wanted to make room for some pal of his
Crass, the foreman, was quite without special abilities; he was of anything inferior to the majority of the men he supervised Even so, he pretended to know everything, and the vague references he was in the habit of making to 'tones' and 'shades' and 'harmony' had so impressed Frederick Hunter that the latter was completely taken in It was by pushing himself forward in this way that Crass had managed to get himself put in charge of the work
Although Crass did as little as possible himself, he took care to work the others hard Any man who failed to satisfy him was reported to Hunter as being 'no good' or 'too slow for a funeral' and was then dispensed with at the end of the week Knowing this, all the workers feared and hated the wily Crass Some, by giving him pipefuls of tobacco and pints of beer, managed to stay in Grass's favour and often kept their jobs when better men were dismissed
As he walked home through the rain thinking of these things, Easton realized that it was not possible to foresee what a day or even an hour might bring
1 As he walked home, Easton felt depressed because _.
A it had been a bad summer for most people, including him B he was afraid of losing his job
C he had recently got married, despite his low wages D his shoes were worn out and his feet were hurting
2 The fourth paragraph mentions Easton's fear of being 'out' This is a fear of _.
C having nowhere to live D falling out with his wife
3 Crass got his position because Hunter thought he was good at _.
C understanding colour schemes D repairing or decorating houses
4 To keep his job, anyone working under Crass had to _.
C take care not to offend him D make room for his 'pals' (friends)
5 Crass was _.
A a skilful worker but lazy B not very skilful but hard working
C a skilful man and a hard worker D not very skilful and also lazy
