Exercise 10. Read
the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
LINDA GREENLAW: SWORDFISH
FISHERMAN
Not
only does Linda Greenlaw do one of the most dangerous jobs in the world, but
also does it extremely well. She has been described as ‘one of the best captains
on the entire East Coast’ and that, in one of the leading countries in the fishing industry, is
praise indeed.
Linda was born and brought
up on Isle au Haut, a tiny island ten kilometers off the coast of Maine, USA.
She fell in love with fishing as a child, and she worked on fishing boats
during her summer breaks from college.
Her
first opportunity to go on a deep-sea fishing trip came when she was nineteen.
Alden Leeman, a man she'd never met before, hired her for thirty days on his
sword-fishing boat. The trip was a success and eventually Alden offered Linda
her first boat to captain in 1986, which probably made her the only woman ever
to captain a sword-fishing boat.
So,
why did she take up swordfishing in the first place? Linda says that not only
does she like the way she feels on a boat, but she also gets passionate about
catching a fish. More than anything, she's proud of being a fisherman, even
more so than she is of being a best-selling author.
Linda
has published four books to date, the first of which, The Hungry Ocean, was top of the New York bestseller list for three
months. In it, Linda tells the story of one fishing trip and narrates the
adventures she experienced on board with her five-man crew, including bad
weather, sickness, mechanical problems and, of course, the fish.
But
the world of fish and fishing is a man's world and it's not easy to find a word
to describe Linda Greenlaw. In her own words, she says: 'I am a woman. I am a fisherman. I am not
a "fisherwoman”, “fisherlady", or "fishergirl”.’
118. Linda is ____.
A. American B. British C.
Canadian D. Greek
119. Her first
deep-sea fishing trip was ____.
A.
when she was thirty B. when she was
a child C. before she was twenty D. in 1986
120. Linda took up
swordfishing because ____.
A.
she needed to earn some money B. she
wanted to become a best-selling author
C.
all her family are fishermen D. she loves boats and catching
fish
121. On the boat
described in The Hungry Ocean ____.
A.
there were five people B. there were six people
C.
there were four people D. there were three people
122. Linda prefers to
be described as ____.
A.
a fisherwoman B. a
fisherlady C. a fisherman D. a fishergirl
Exercise 11. Read
the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
A WRITER'S LIFE: G P TAYLOR
J.
K. Rowling may be responsible for the revival of fantasy fiction. But her
contemporary rivals, many of whom have benefited from her success, seem
reluctant to give her credit for starting a trend. Philip Pullman, for example,
points out that Northern Lights, the
first volume in his trilogy His Dark
Materials, was published a year before Harry Potter's adventures began. So
it comes as a surprise when G P Taylor concedes that he only wrote a novel
because of the enormous popularity of Harry Potter.
Taylor
is the Yorkshire vicar who sold his motorbike to self-publish 2,000 copies of
his first novel, Shadowmancer, a book
that was subsequently picked up by publishers Faber and got to number one in
the New York Times bestseller list. His novels conjure up dark, chilling worlds in which
the super natural threatens to take over, yet he describes his life as a writer
in flatly functional terms. For example, he is able to name the exact day that
he became a novelist: March 21, 2002. 'It was one of those seminal moments in
my life. Harry Potter was becoming very popular. And I thought, “This woman's
written a book. I might write one." ’
‘I got a copy of Harry
Potter, counted the number of words that were on the page, measured the width
of the margin, counted the number of chapters in the book, how many pages were
in the book and set my computer screen up so that it would have 468 Words on
the page. My chapters were the same length as the Harry Potter chapters; I
thought, “This must be how you write the book.”
The
Harry Potter formula has its faults, of course. Stephen King was once asked
what he thought of Rowling's novels. Were they thought-provoking'? King thought
not. But did that matter, he
wondered, in a 'fantasy-adventure aimed primarily at children and published in
the heart of the summer vacation'? His conclusion was unequivocal: ‘Of course not. What kids
on summer vacation want - and probably deserve - is simple, uncomplicated fun.'
Shadowmancer is a simple and uncomplicated fantasy - and Taylor, who is his own
most effective critic, makes few further claims for the novel. 'It's a great
story, but if I'd written it now, it would be a completely different book. In many
ways, it's a clumsy classic. There are a lot of things in there that I would
get rid of. And yet, I think that's the big attraction. It's because it's an
incredible adventure story, written by a non-writer, just a storyteller.
Taylor
returns to this distinction between writing and storytelling a number of times,
distancing himself from grand and lofty ideas of the novelist's purpose. He
describes himself as a 'fairly uneducated, council-house kid' who ran away to
London as a teenager, ‘a bit of a chancer, with ideas above his station’. He read Dickens, lots
of Orwell - 'they were trendy books to read' - and Kerouac. But he is
uncomfortable talking at any length about favorite novels or influences beyond
Rowling: 'I have not read all that many books. I'm not, you know, a very
literate person.'
Taylor
was a rock-music promoter in his twenties and remains a showman, happiest in
front of a crowd. He describes the talks he gives in schools and at book
festivals, dressed up as a sea captain or as an 18th-century
highwayman in a long black coat. ‘You're using your face, you're using your body, you're acting out what
you're doing.’ The business of putting his thoughts in writing can be problematic in comparison. As a
storyteller, in order to demonstrate shock or alarm to an audience he will
"pause between sentences and showed a wide-eyed, staring face. But to
describe that in English ...’
This
impatience with the limitation of language can be a positive asset: in Tersia, Taylor's new fantasy, the speed
of the narrative and the scale of the events that overwhelm
the characters mean there
is no time for the story to get bogged down. That said, it is unusual to
hear a writer speak in such a dismissive way of his craft. Shadowmancer has been taken on by Universal
Pictures, and Taylor does nothing
to hide the fact that he thinks 'the movie's more exciting
than the book’.
