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.
Although
I left university with a good degree, I suddenly found that it was actually
quite hard to find a job. After being unemployed for a few months, I realized I
had to take the first thing that came along or I'd be in serious financial
difficulties. And so, for six very long months, I became a market research
telephone interviewer.
I
knew it wasn't the best company in the world when they told me that I'd have to
undergo three days of training before starting work, and that I wouldn't get
paid for any of it. Still, I knew that the hourly rate when I actually did
start full time would be a lot better than unemployment benefit, and I could
work up to twelve hours a day, seven days a week if I wanted. So, I thought of
the money I'd earn and put up with three days of unpaid training. Whatever
those three days taught me - and I can't really remember anything about them
today - I wasn't prepared for the way I would be treated by the supervisors.
It
was worse than being at school. There were about twenty interviewers like
myself, each sitting in a small, dark booth with an ancient computer and a
dirty telephone. The booths were around the walls of the fifth floor of a
concrete office block, and the supervisors sat in the middle of the room,
listening in to all of our telephone interviews. We weren't allowed to talk to
each other, and if we took more than about two seconds from ending one phone
call and starting another, they would shout at us to hurry up and get on with
our jobs. We even had to ask for permission to go to the toilet. I was amazed
how slowly the day went. Our first break of the day came at eleven o'clock, two
hours after we started. I'll always remember that feeling of despair when I
would look at my watch thinking, 'It's must be nearly time for the break', only
to find that it was quarter to ten and that there was another hour and a
quarter to go. My next thought was always, 'I can't believe I'm going to be
here until nine o'clock tonight.'
The
most frightening aspect of the job was that I was actually quite good at it.
'Oh, no!' I thought. ‘Maybe I'm destined to be a market researcher for the rest of my life.'
My boss certainly seemed to think so. One day - during a break, of course - she
ordered me into her office. 'Simon,' she said, 'I'm promoting you. From
tomorrow, you're off telecoms and onto credit card complaints. I'm sure you can
handle it. There's no extra pay, but it is a very responsible position.'
Three
weeks later, I quit. It was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
118. Why did the
writer become a market research telephone interviewer?
A.
He had completely run out of money. B. He had
the right university degree for the job.
C. It was the first job he was
offered. D.
He knew it was only for six months.
119. The writer had
doubts about the company when
____.

receive payment for his training

could be best described as ____.

C. He felt that the end of the
day seemed so long away.
D.

122. What was unusual
about Simon's promotion?
A.

C.
It involved greater responsibility. D. There was no increase in

Exercise 12. Read
the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions.
THE SECRETARY
In
olden days, when a glimpse of stocking was looked upon as something far too
shocking to distract the serious work of an office, secretaries were men.
Then
came the First World War and the male secretaries were replaced by women. A
man's secretary became his personal servant, charged with remembering his
wife's birthday and buying her presents; taking his suits to the dry-cleaners;
telling lies on the telephone to keep people he did not wish to speak to at
bay; and, of course, typing, filing and taking shorthand.
Now
all this may be changing again. The microchip and high technology is sweeping the British
office, taking with it much of the routine clerical work that secretaries did. "Once
office technology takes over generally, the status of the job will rise again
because it will involve only the high-powered work - and then men will want to
do it again."
That
was said by one of the executives (male) of one of the biggest secretarial
agencies in this country. What he has predicted is already under way in the US.
One girl described to me a recent temporary job placing men in secretarial jobs
in San Francisco, she noted that all the men she dealt with appeared to be gay
so possibly that is just a new twist to the old story.
Over
here, though, there are men coming onto the job market as secretaries.
Classically, girls have learned shorthand and typing and gone into a company to
seek their fortune from the bottom - and that's what happened to John Bowman.
Although he joined a national grocery chain as secretary to its first woman
senior manager, he has since been promoted to an administrative job.
"I
filled in the application form and said I could do audio/typing, and in fact I
was the only applicant. The girls were reluctant to work for this young,
glamorous new woman with all this power in the firm.
I
did typing at school, and then a commercial course. I just thought it would be
useful finding a job. I never got any funny treatment from the girls, though I
admit I've never met another male secretary. But then I joined the Post Office
as a clerk and fiddled with the typewriter, and wrote letters, and thought that
after all secretaries were getting a good £ 1,000 a year more than clerks like
me. There were a shortage at that time, you see.
It
was simpler working for a woman than for a man. I found she made decisions, she
told everybody what she thought, and there was none of that male bitchiness, or
that stuff 'ring this number for me dear' which men go in for.
Don't
forget we were a team - that's how I feel about it - not boss and servant but
two people doing different things for the same purpose.”
One
high technology has made the job of secretary less routine, will there be a
male takeover? Men should beware of thinking that they can walk right into the
better jobs. There are a lot of women secretaries who will do the job as well
as them - not just because they can buy negligees for the boss's wife, but
because they are as efficient and well-trained to cope with word processors and
computers as men.
