'A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right.' These are the words of Mollie Hunter, a well known author of books for youngsters Born and bred near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young people She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience for any good book whatever its main market In Mollie's opinion it is essential to make full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be doing: 'If you aren't telling a story,you're a very dead writer indeed,' she says
With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Molly is indeed an entertainer 'I have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,' she says This love goes back to early childhood 'I've told stories all my life I had a school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we grew up and, because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said "Nonsense Mollie dear, you'll be a writer." So eventually I thought that this woman must have something, since she was a good teacher - and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical and gives a picture both of Mollie's ambition and her struggle towards its achievement
Thoughts of her childhood inevitably brought thoughts of the time when her home was still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry fields - sadly now covered with modern houses 'I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty hands all over my childhood I'll never go back,' she said 'Never.' 'When I set one of my books in Scotland,' she said, 'I can recapture my romantic feelings as a child playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work And that's important, because children now know so much so early that romance can't exist for them, as it did for us.'
To this day, Mollie has a lively affection for children, which is reflected in the love she has for her writing 'When we have visitors with children the adults always say, "If you go to visit Mollie, she'll spend more time with the children." They don't realise that children are much more interesting company I've heard all the adults have to say before The children have something new.' Question 28 What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book?
A It should not aim at a narrow audience B It should be attractive to young readers C It should be based on original ideas D It should not include too much conversation Question 29 In Mollie Hunter’s opinion, one sign of a poor writer is:
A lifeless characters B complicated ideas C the weakness of the description D the absence of a story Question 30 What we learn about Mollie Hunter as a very young child?
A She didn’t expect to become a writer B She didn’t enjoy writing stories C She didn’t have any particular ambitions D She didn’t respect her teacher’s views Question 31 What does 'its' refer to in paragraph 3?
(5)C ambition D struggle
Question 32 How does Mollie feel about what has happened to her birthplace? A confused B ashamed
C disappointed D surprised
Question 33 In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that modern children are: A more intelligent B better informed
C less keen to learn D less interested in fiction Question 34 Mollie’s adult visitors generally discover that:
A she is a very generous person B she is interesting company
C she talks a lot about her work D she pays more attention to their children Question 35 What is the writer’s purpose in this text?
A to describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books B to share her enjoyment of Mollie Hunter’s books
C to provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers D to introduce Mollie Hunter’s work to a wider audience

Writing is arguably the most important invention in human history The opportunity for human knowledge to build on other knowledge is severely limited without the medium of writing Not only does writing allow a Line permanence to human thought but also a complexity and scope to human (5) expression that seem barely possible without it
The earliest known artifacts that could be considered writing by the loosest definition are the famous and extraordinarily beautiful 20,000-year-old "cave paintings" in southern France and northern Spain The pictures, mostly of animals but with some human figures, possibly tell some sort of story or may merely be pictures with expressive, magical, or religious purpose Other assorted pictures
(10) have been found antedating the rise of the great civilizations of the Near East, but
the earliest artifacts that are clearly writing date from about only 5,500 years ago inMesopotamia The earliest system of writing is usually attributed to the Sumerians of
Mesopotamia during the end of the fourth millennium b.c There, officials of such (15) Sumerian city-states as Uruk had developed a system of recording numerals, pictographs, and ideographs on specially prepared clay surfaces
Although the clay blanks used by the Uruk scribes are universally referred to as tablets, a word with the connotation of flatness, they are actually convex
Individual characters were inscribed in the clay by means of a stylus made of (20) wood, bone, or ivory, with one end blunt and the other pointed The characters were basically of two kinds Numerical signs were impressed into the clay; all other signs, pictographs, and ideographs alike, were incised with the pointed end of the stylus The repertory of characters used by the Uruk scribes was large; it is estimated at no fewer than 1,500 separate signs
