Piya was very embarrassed; of everyone in the compartment, this was the last person she would have chosen to scald with her tea She had noticed him while waiting on the platform in Kolkata and she had been struck by the self-satisfied tilt of his head and the way in which he stared at everyone around him, taking them in, sizing them up, sorting them all into their places 'Here,' said Piya, producing a handful of tissues 'Let me help you clean up.' 'There's nothing to be done,' he said testily 'These pages are ruined anyway.' For a moment she considered pointing out that it was he who had knocked her hand But all she could bring herself to say was, 'I'm very sorry I hope you'll excuse me.' 'Do I really have a choice?' he said in a tone more challenging than ironic 'Does anyone have a choice when they're dealing with Americans these days?' Piya had no wish to get into an argument so she let this pass Instead she opened her eyes wide and, in an attempt to restore peace, came out with, 'But how did you guess?' 'About what?' 'About my being American? You're very observant.' This seemed to the trick His shoulders relaxed as he leaned back in his seat 'I didn't guess,' he said 'I knew.' 'Was it my accent?' she said 'Yes,' he said with a nod 'I'm very rarely wrong about accents I'm a translator you see, and an interpreter as well, by profession I like to think that my ears are tuned to the nuances of spoken language.' 'I'm afraid English is my only language And I wouldn't claim to be much good at it either.' A frown of puzzlement appeared on his forehead 'And you're on your way to Canning?' 'Yes.' 'But tell me this,' he said 'If you don't know any Bengali or Hindi, how are you planning to find your way around over there?' 'I'll what I usually do,' she said with a laugh 'I'll try to wing it Anyway, in my line of work there's not much talk needed.' 'And what is your line of work, if I may ask?' 'I'm a cetologist,' she said 'That means - ' She was beginning, ahnost apologetically, to expand on this when he interrupted her 'I know what it means,' he said sharply 'You don't need to explain It means you study marine mammals Right?' 'Yes,' she said, nodding 'Dolphins, whales and so on I'm hoping to wangle a permit to a survey of the marine mammals of the Sundarbans Question 7: Piya asks 'But how did you guess?' in order to A find out what the man really thought about Americans B ensure the man realised that she had apologised C make sure the man knew he was being rude D try to calm the situation down by starting a conversation Question 8: In the first paragraph, Piya is relieved when she gets a window seat because it means that A she doesn't have to stand up for the rest of the train journey B there is less chance that she will miss her stop C there is more room for her backpacks D she no longer has to suffer from a lack of air Question 9: When Piya had first seen the man she had thought that A he had tried to keep his distance from his fellow passengers B he had been looking for someone he knew on the station platform C he seemed to think he was better than other people D he was someone she should avoid if she could Question 10: Piya has found that the tea or chai she has bought while she has been in India A would have tasted better if served fresh B reminds her of her home in Seattle C is preferable to the chai she has had in the past D is disappointingly bland in taste Question 11: What is Piya's attitude to the work ahead of her in Canning?

sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions MY FIRST BIKE Film star, Ewan McGregor, recently rode round the world on a motorbike He talks about how he first took up riding motorbikes My biking beginnings can be summed up in two words: teenage love My first girlfriend was small with short, mousy blonde hair, and I was mad about her Our romance came to an abrupt end, however, when she started out with another guy in my hometown, Crieff He rode a 50cc road bike first and then a 125 And whereas I had always walked my girlfriend home, suddenly she was going back with this guy I was nearly sixteen by then and already heartbroken Then one day, on the way back from a shopping trip to Perth with my mum, we passed Buchan's, the local bike shop I urged my mother to stop the car I got out, walked up the short hill to the shop and pressed my nose to the window There was a light-blue 50cc bike on display right at the front of the shop I didn’t know what make it was, or if it was any good Such trivialities were irrelevant to me All I knew was that I could get it in three or four months' time when I was sixteen and allowed to ride it Maybe I could even get my girlfriend back I’d ridden my first bike when I was about six My father got hold of a tiny red Honda 50 cc and we headed off to a shot off to a field that belonged to a family friend I clambered on and shot off I went all over the field I thought it was just best thing I loved the smell of it, the sound of it, the look of it, the rush of it, the high-pitched screaming of the engine Best of all, there was a Land Rover parked next to two large piles of straw with about a metre and a half between them I knew that from where the adults were standing it looked as if there was no distance between them Just one large heap of straw I thought I would have a go I came racing towards the adults, and shot right through the gap in the straw I was thrilled to hear the adults scream and elated that it had frightened them It was my first time on a motorbike It was exciting and I wanted more So when I looked through Buchan's window in Perth that day, it suddenly all made sense to me It was what had to happen I can't remember whether it was to win back my ex-girlfriend's heart or not, but more than anything else it meant that, instead of having to walk everywhere, I could ride my motorbike to school and the games fields at the bottom of Crieff and when I went out at weekends I started to fantasise about it I spent all my waking hours thinking about getting on and starting up the bike, putting on the helmet and riding around Crieff I couldn't sleep Driven to desperation by my desire for a bike, I made a series of promises to my mum: I won’t leave town I'll be safe I won't take risks I won't anything stupid But, in fact I was making the promises up - I never thought about keeping them At the time that I was begging for a bike, I'd already had an accident with a bike belonging to George Carson, the school laboratory technician When I asked him if I could borrow it, he agreed, not knowing that I didn't have a clue how to ride it The bike was in an alleyway up the side of the school hall I managed to start it and zoomed down the alleyway until I crashed smack into a wall, bending the wheel and snapping the handlebars Mr Carson came out to find me looking very redfaced The bill for the damage came to more than £80, a fortune to a fifteen-year old in those days and one that took me months of working as a dish washer and waiter at the Murray Park Hotel to pay back
