Section B

First Passage

The prison camp was entirely silent Robert waited a moment, then, hearing nothing, opened the door and went into the hut where he slept the hut was divided into three connecting bedrooms; there was no corridor The centre room had been given to Robert, and the room nearest to the main building was normally occupied by two guards Robert did not know who occupied the third He had once tried to open the connecting door between it and his own room, but it was locked He had only discovered it was a bed room by looking quickly through a narrow gap in the curtains early one morning as he went for a walk, before the two guards, who followed him everywhere at fifty yards’ distance, had rounded the corner of the hut The room contained a single bed, and a small writing-desk with papers

on it He supposed that someone kept an eye on him from that bedroom But Robert was too experienced to allow himself to be bothered by being watched For the last five years before he had been imprisoned, it had been a fact of life - if you didn’t notice it, so much the worse: it only meant they were taking greater care, or you were not as good

as you used to be Usually, because he was good at this kind of things, because he was observant and had an accurate memory - because, in short, he was good at his job - he saw them anyway He knew the positions chosen

by a team of watchers, he knew the tricks, the weaknesses, the occasional mistakes that could give them away It meant nothing to Robert that he was watched, but as he walked through the doorway to the hut and stood in the guards’ bedroom, he had the distinct feeling that something was wrong The lights in the hut were controlled from some central point They were put on and off by an unseen hand In the mornings he was often woken by the sudden brightness of the single overhead light in his room

At night he would be hurried to bed by sudden darkness It was only nine o’clock as he entered the hut, and the lights were already out Usually they stayed on till eleven, but now they were out and the curtains had been drawn

He had left the door open, so that in the half-light he could just see the two empty beds in the guards’ bedroom As

he stood there looking into the room, surprise to find it empty , the door behind him closed, perhaps by itself, but Robert made no attempt to open it He couldn’t see a thing No sound was made as the door closed, no footstep was heard To Robert it was as if a record had stopped He sensed danger Then he smelt cigar smoke It must have been hanging in the air, but he had not noticed it till then Like a blind man, his senses of touch and smell were sharpened by the darkness

26 The building in which Robert slept

A was occupied by the three people

B was connected to the main building

C had only three rooms

D had a guard room in the centre

27 Robert discovered that the end room was a bedroom when

A he looked through the keyhole

B someone drew the curtains back

C he glanced in as he went by

D he went through the connecting door

28 Before he had been imprisoned why had Robert usually found out who was watching him?

A He never made mistakes

B He knew what to watch out for

C The watchers had been inexperienced

D He had always been careful about where he went

29 Robert did not worry about being watched because

A it had happened to him before

B it showed that people cared about him

C he had noticed that it was happening

D the watchers never came too close

30 The lights in the hut

A were controlled by the prisoners

B were usually switched off at nine o’clock

C came on automatically when someone came in

D were turned on and off unexpectedly.

31 As Robert entered the hut he realised that

A someone was smoking a cigar

B the record-player had stopped

C everything was too quiet

D the door to his room was locked

Second passage

Surprisingly, no one knows how many children receive education in English hospitals, still less the content or quality

of that education Proper records are just not kept

We know that more than 850,000 children go through hospital each year, and that every child of school age has a legal right to continue to receive education while in hospital We also know there is only one hospital teacher to every 1,000 children in hospital

Little wonder the latest survey concludes that the extent and type of hospital teaching available differ a great deal across the country It found that half the hospitals in England which admit children have no teacher A further quarter have only a part- time teacher The special children’s hospitals in major cities do best ; general hospitals in country and holiday areas are worst off

From this survey, one can estimate that fewer than one in five children have some contact with a hospital teacher- and that contact may be as little as two hours a day Most children interviewed were surprised to find a teacher in hospital at all They had not been prepared for it by parents or their own school If there was a teacher they were much more likely to read books and do maths or number work ; without a teacher they would only play games

Reasons for hospital teaching range from preventing a child falling behind and maintaining the habit of school to keeping a child occupied, and the latter is often all the teacher can do The position and influence of many teachers was summed up when parents referred to them as “the library lady” or just “ the helper”

Children tend to rely on concerned school friends to keep in touch with school work Several parents spoke of requests for work being ignored or refused by the school Once back at school, children rarely get extra teaching, and are told to catch up as best they can

Many short-stay child-patients catch up quickly But schools do very little to ease the anxiety about falling behind expressed by many of the children interviewed

32 The writer of this article points out that

A every child in hospital receives some teaching

B not enough is known about hospital teaching

C hospital teaching is of poor quality

D many children pass through hospital each year

33 This latest survey found that hospital teaching is provided

A for the whole of the usual school day

B in every children's hospital in the country

C for a small proportion of children

D by full-time teachers.

34 It seems that the children interviewed in hospital

A liked having maths lessons regularly

B wanted to play games most of the time

C did not expect to receive any teaching

D did not want any contact with their schools

35 It is suggested that most teachers of children in hospital were

A successful in getting the co-operation of parents

B unable to get help from other hospital staff

C unable to provide a provide a proper teaching programme

D in a position of great influence in the hospital

36 Some children in hospital are able to keep up with their school work because

A the nurses try to teach them

B their friends help them to do so

C teachers from the school come to the hospital

D their parents bring them books from the library

Third passage

Money Matters for Students

Getting a grant

Who pays? The local education authority (Lea) for the area in which the student is living.

Who can get this money? Anyone who gets a place on a first degree course, although a student who has already

attended a course of advanced further education may not Students must also have been resident in the UK for at least three years, which can exclude some students from overseas

Special cases

If a student has worked before college: A student who is 26 or more before the course starts and who has worked

at least three of the previous six years will get extra money - ₤155 a year if 26, increasing to a maximum of ₤615

at 29 or more

If a student is handicapped: Leas will give up to ₤500 to help meet extra

expenses - such as buying a tape recorder for a blind student, extra

heating or special food.

Banking : Most of the big banks offer special services to students who

open accounts (in the hope that they will stay with the bank when they

become rich executives) A student won't usually have to pay bank

charges as long as the account stays in credit Some banks allow

students to overdraw by ₤100 or so, and still don’t make charges

(through they do charge interest)

37 A student from Japan who has been staying in England for a year and intends to go to college in a few months will

A get money if he is taking a first degree course

B be unable to get money from any LEA

C get money from an LEA when he has finished his course

D have to open a bank account before he gets any money

38 A 31-year-old nurse wishes to qualify as a doctor at a university She has worked since she was 25 How much extra money will she get a year?

A none

A ₤155

B ₤615

C ₤715

39 A student who cannot walk has to buy a wheelchair costing ₤750 to go to classes How much of the cost will he have to pay himself?

a ₤150

B ₤250

a ₤500

C ₤750

40 You are a new student Why may a bank welcome you as a customer?

A They know you receive money regularly

B They charge students extra

C They hope you will be rich in the future

D They need student accounts in term-time
