Circle ONE of the letters, A, B, C or D There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day as house keeper at Monk's House. The floors in the house were very thin. The bathroom was directly above the kitchen, and when Mrs Smith was having a bath before breakfast, I could hear her talking to herself. Mrs Smith's bedroom was outside the house in the garden; Her bed room had been added on to the back of the house; the door faced the garden and a window at the side opened out on to a field. When we carried the breakfast trays to Mrs Smith's room I noticed that she had always been working during the night. There were pencils and paper beside her bed so that when she woke up she could work, and sometimes it seemed as though she had had very little sleep. I can always remember her coming to the house each day from the writing- room. I always rang the bell for lunch at one o'clock. She was tall and thin and very graceful. She had large, deep-set eyes and a wide curving mouth - I think perhaps this that made her face seem particularly beautiful. She wore long skirts - usually blue or brown - in the fashion of the day, and silk jackets of different colour. Her clothes suited her well. I was not allowed to make coffee at Monk's House - Mr and Mrs Smith were very particular about coffee and always made it themselves - so Mr Smith came into the kitchen at eight o'clock every morning to make coffee for him and his wife. I pressed clothes for Mrs. Smith and did any sewing that was necessary-she was not able to sew, although sometimes she liked to try. There was one thing in the kitchen that she was very good at doing: she could make beautiful bread. 21. What was particularly unusual about Monk's House? A. The bathroom was next door to the kitchen. B. Mrs Smith's bedroom door opened on to the garden C. The kitchen window looked out over fields C. The breakfast room was upstairs. 22. What did the writer observe about Mrs Smith's writing habits? A. She did a great deal of writing at night. B. She worked in the garden whenever she could. C. She preferred to write in the house. D. She sometimes wrote in the bath. 23. Mrs Smith wore clothes which were A. in matching colour B. designed for her only. C. suitable for country life D. rather dull and unattractive 24. Mr Smith's attitude towards his wife seemed to be that A. he found her strange ways difficult to accept B. he led a very separate life C. he did what he could for her. D. he watched over her all the time 25. for the housework, Mrs Smith A. was too busy to do any B. disliked doing any C. was very bad at it D. liked one or two particular tasks.
