FAST WORK FOR FAST FOOD
When I graduated from cookery school, I could have applied for jobs in ski chalets or on board ships sailing around the Caribbean Instead, I applied to work in a fashionable fast food restaurant and suddenly found myself working very long hours in hot, sweaty kitchens full of completely crazy characters I thought that starting at the bottom of the food chain, as opposed to the high life of skiing and sailing, would be good training I couldn’t have been more wrong
At 7.45 each morning I stagger into the kitchen with all the other cooks, exhausted from working a 10-hour shift the night before (1) _ Nothing is where it should be Vegetables have been left on the floor and raw fish has been left uncovered in the fridge A couple of dustbins have not been emptied and everything has to be cleaned before we can begin the day’s work
(2) _ I fill a sink with water, throw in several box loads of the stuff and wash each leaf separately My hands are so cold I can hardly feel them Between and 10, the line chefs start arriving (3) _ They swan around the kitchens shouting orders at the poor cooks like me whose job it is to prepare all the ingredients
But if anything goes wrong once the customers’ orders start coming in, you can guess who gets the blame If they run out of sauce, then it’s the cook’s fault for not preparing enough in the first place (4) _ The chefs are only under pressure at particular point in the day The cooks are under pressure all the time
(5) _ This is when the waiters get told what the day’s special menus are Then, no sooner are we back in the kitchen to start the lunch service than three deliveries of food and drink arrive all at the same time (6) _ I am faced with carrying boxes of frozen chips or bottles of fruit juice from the lorries down two flights of stairs to the store rooms By mid-afternoon, the lunchtime rush is dying down (7) _ Then I am allowed to have my free staff “lunch”, by which time I’m too tired to eat
A This means I get sent to sort them out B These are the people who get all the glory
C Before we open at midday, all the staff meet in the restaurant
D My first job of the day is shopping, and shredding leaves and lettuces for salads
E However, I don’t get anything to eat until the end of my working day, at that evening

IV Read the passage below and choose the correct answer for each question
If we took a look at how people in Europe communicated just one hundred years ago, we would be very surprised to find out that English was hardly used outside the United Kingdom The language most commonly used between people of different nationalities, and particularly the aristocracy, was French In fact, French was the language of diplomacy, culture and education However, that is not the case nowadays English has replaced French as the international language of communication Today there are more people who speak English as a second language than people who speak it as a first language
There are many reasons why English has become the language of international communication Britain's colonization of many parts of the world had something to with it, but it is mainly due to America's rise to the position of major world power This helped spread popular American culture throughout the world bringing the language with it
But is it good that English has spread to all parts of the world so quickly? Language specialists seem to be divided over this issue There are those who claim that it is important to have a language that the people in our increasingly globalized world have in common According to others, English is associated with a particular culture and therefore promotes that culture at the expense of others Linguists have suggested "Esperanto", an artificially put-together language, as a solution to international communication problems but without success So, English will continue being the world language until some other language, maybe Chinese, which is the most widely-spoken native language in the world, takes over as the world's international language instead of English
1 According to the passage, a century ago _ A educated people throughout Europe spoke English B foreign travelers to England spoke only French C French was much more popular than English D only the French aristocracy could speak English
2 What is chiefly responsible for the growth in popularity of English?
A Britain's becoming an international power B The French losing many colonies C America's becoming powerful D The development of American culture 3 What is meant by "the language of diplomacy” (lines 4)?
A The language used by ordinary people B The language used by the English and the French C The language used by the aristocracy D The language used by governments
4 What is true according to the passage?
A The experts don't like Esperanto B Esperanto is difficult to learn
C Esperanto is not a natural language D Esperanto is becoming more and more popular 5 The experts' opinion on the spread of English is
A split B positive C negative D undecided 6 The author believes that
A English is easier to learn than Chinese
B English will probably be replaced as an international language
C Chinese is going to be the next language of international communication D Chinese is growing in popularity among non-native speakers
7 These days _
A French is the language of diplomacy B more non-natives speak English than natives C more people speak French than English D French is a dying language
8 What would be a good title for this passage?
