Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each blank.
THE VACUUM CLEANER
Until about 250 years ago, households did not take dirt as seriously as they do now - it was a fact of
life, and that was that. Cleaning often consisted of an annual Q23.1.................... called 'spring
cleaning' when the furniture was moved aside, and all the linen products in the house were cleaned.
Carpets and rugs were taken outside, hung on ropes, and had the dust Q23.2.................... out of
them - an exhausting and messy process.
The industrial revolution brought about a major change - as new products became available to make
homes cleaner, a corresponding interest in 'domestic hygiene' appeared in households. This in turn
led to the Q23.3.................... of further products, one of which was the vacuum cleaner.
Q23.4.................... has it that when one of the first vacuum cleaners was demonstrated, a kindly
scientist took the proud inventor Q23.5...................., and offered a bit of advice that was to become
crucial to the future evolution of the product - 'make it suck, not blow'.
The first vacuum cleaners appeared in the 1860s in the United States. They were operated by hand
pumps and were almost as Q23.6.................... as spring cleaning. It was only when electric motors
had become sufficiently Q23.7.................... to become portable that vacuum cleaners became
common household items. Most of today's major Q23.8.................... - including Electrolux and
Hoover - were born in the 1920s.
The household dirt that vacuum cleaners suck up is mostly dead skin cells - humans

 At your service
Top chef and restaurant owner Giancarlo Curtis talks about what he looks for, apart from good
food, when he eats out.
1. Q26.1....................
Recently I went into a restaurant near my home where I have eaten several times over the years. It
used to have an old-fashioned traditional style, but it has just re-opened after being completely
renovated. The new surroundings seem to have given a lift to everything, from the food cooked by a
new chef from Brittany in France, to the atmosphere and the quality of the service.
2. Q26.2....................
Many hours of behind-the-scenes work must have gone into getting the service so good. The staff
were very pleasant and the speed with which they reacted to customers' needs was excellent. When
someone sneezed, a box of tissues appeared. I have never seen that before in a restaurant. The
preparation has certainly paid off.
3. Q26.3....................
Twenty years ago when people went out to testae ants, they probably never set eyes on the chef -
probably didn't even know his name. But the person they did know was the head waiter. He was the
important one, the person who could get you the best table, who could impress your friends by
recognising you when you arrived.
4. Q26.4....................
Things have changed, but I think what is going to happen with so many good new restaurants
opening these days is that the waiters are going to become very important again. The level of service
is what is going to distinguish one restaurant from another.
But we are talking about modem, unstuffy service, which is not four waiters hovering around your
table making you nervous, but a relaxed presence, giving you the feeling there is someone there and
providing help and advice when you need it. There is a fine distinction between a server and a
servant, and this is what the best waiter has learnt to appreciate.
5. Q26.5....................
Although they have to be commercial, the most popular restaurants aim to provide the kind of
reception, comfort and consideration you would give to someone coming for a dinner party at your
home. Service is not about the correctness of knives and forks and glasses - people really don't care
about those things any more - nowadays it is about putting people at their ease.
6. Q26.6....................
What's more, waiting staff need to have a stake in the success of the enterprise. I realised that when
I opened my own restaurant. The staff, chefs and waiters did all the decorating and the flowers
themselves and it worked well because the right atmosphere had been created by people who cared.
..
7. Q26.7....................
Above all, the waiting staff should be consistent. which is why I have always preferred the custom
of putting an optional service charge on the bill, rather than relying on discretionary tips so that all
the stall feel valued. I don't like the kind of situation where there is a competition going on, with
one-star waiter trying to outshine the rest. That affects the quality of the service as a whole.

 Read the following passage then choose the best answer to each question below.
Graphic novels: a fresh angle on literature
Has the graphic novel - a fictional story presented in comic-strip format finally become
intellectually respectable?
Graphic novels have just landed with an almighty kersplat. Ten days ago, two such works were
shortlisted for the Shakespeare Book Awards for the first time in the history of the prize, in two
different categories. This was no publicity stunt neither panel knew what the other had done. This is,
surely, the moment when the graphic book finally made its entrance into the respectable club roam
of high literature. Hang on, though, can you compare a graphic novel with the literary kind?
Wouldn't that be like comparing a painting with a music video? Or is it time we started seeing them
as comparable mediums for storytelling? If so, what next?
Robert Macfarlane, the chairman of another major literary award, says he has no objection in
principle to a graphic novel being submitted for the prize. In fact, he has taught one, Art
Spiegelman's Maus, alongside the works of Russian writer Tolstoy and Don Quixote by the Spanish
writer Miguel de Cervantes) at the University of Cambridge, where he works in the English Faculty,
'The idea of outlawing the graphic novel doesn't make any sense to me,' he says. 'I don't segregate it
from the novel. The novel is always eating up other languages, media and forms.' Graphic fiction, he
says, is 'another version of the novel's long flirtation with the visual'. This is, he declares, 'a golden
age for the graphic novel'.
And he's right. We are seeing a boom in graphic novels. Since Maus was awarded a Pulitzer Prize in
1992, they have gone on to devour every literary genre going. But so far, graphic novels have
politely stood aside and let conventional books win the big prizes. Now they want the vote. Fighting
for the graphic novelists' cause, astonishingly, are some hefty prize-winning writers. The English
novelist and poet A. S. Byatt is passionately in favour of graphic novels competing with regular
ones. Byatt, who is a huge fan of Spiegelman's Maus, thinks that French-Iranian artist Marjane
Satrapi's graphic novel Persepolis and 'head and shoulders above most novels being produced. It's
more interesting and more moving. It's able to be serious because it can carry itself along on this
unserious form. It allowed her to be witty about things that are terrible. And that is why it's a major
work of art'.
The genius of the graphic novel, as the English writer Philip Pullman explains, is that it can bring
into play so many levels of narrative by layering them on top of each other. Take American Alison
Bechdel's brilliant Are You My Mother? - in a single page, she can depict a memory of being with
her mother in her childhood, dialogue between herself and her mother as they chat on the phone in
the present, plus an image of herself toiling at her desk, trying to write her memoir. And what
Bechdel and her mum are saying on the phone links to the diaries of the early 20th-century writer
Virginia Woolf, which Bechdel also brings to visual life. Try doing that with words - it would take a
chapter, Bechdel does it in a few panels. That in the end is precisely what keeps graphic literature so
distinct from prose narrative.
Graphic novels and traditional novels demand, to be sure, the same amours of time, intellect and

Đề thi được tải về từ Hệ thống ôn luyện thông minh [Link]

 artistry from their authors. But that doesn't mean they're the same thing. A few years on, will you be
clicking the buy button on a graphic novel as happily as you'd pick up a work by a traditional
novelist? Even Bechdel confesses that her reading habits are still struggling out of the past.
'Honestly, I would be slightly more inclined to pick up a non-graphic work,' she says. At this point,
there's not a huge number of graphic novels that are about topics that interest me. But that too is
changing. We're becoming more visually Iiterate. There's some reason for these graphic novels
creeping into the canon. We're reading differently from how we used to 200 years ago.
Question 27 (Question ID: 13-260686)

Book Awards?
A. It revealed the closed-mindedness of the literary establishment.
B. It was a result of confusion among members of the panel.
C. It generated debate about the true purpose of the prize.
