V. Read the following text and write the right answer A, B, C or D on

the separate answer sheet:
Adam Randall was thirty years old and he looked like a rock star. He was
very handsome, with long blonde hair. He knew most of the other members of the
Andrea Gail’s crew. He had fished all his life and he knew a lot about fishing boats.
When he saw a boat, he knew at once if it was safe or not.

Adam had driven to Gloucester that morning with his father-in-law. He’d walked
around the deck of the Andrea Gail for a long time, not saying very much. Then finally
he had got off the boat and gone back to his father-in-law’s car.
“I’m not going out on that boat,” he’d said. “I’m not going to take this job.”
“What are you saying?” asked his father-in-law in surprise. “You really need this
job, Adam. You haven’t worked in three months and you need the money. What’s the
problem? The Andrea Gail is a very good boat – it’s one of the best swordfishing boats
on the coast.”
“I know that,” replied Adam. But I’ve got a strange feeling about the Andrea
Gail. When I was walking around her I felt a cold wind on my skin. I think that none
of her crew is going to come back from this trip.”
Adam’s father-in-law was very shocked.
“Are you going to tell them what you think?” he asked.
Adam thought for a while.
“No, he said at last. “I can’t do that. I can’t tell them that they are going to die..
And maybe I’m wrong. Each man has to make up his own mind about a fishing trip.

A. 1. Adam Randall was a a) rock star.

b) fisherman.
c) psychologist.
d) wizard.

2. Father-in-law means a) stepfather.

b) the father of somebody’s wife.

c) somebody’s father who is a lawyer.
d) your father’s business partner.

3. Andrea Gail is a) a knight with a sword.
