II. Read the following passage and choose the best answer (A, B, c, or D) to each of the questions. Write your answers in the numbered spaces that follow.

There was one thing that I found rather strange on my first day as housekeeper at Monk’s House. The floors in the house were very thin. The bathroom was directly above the kitchen, and when Mrs Woolf was having her bath before breakfast, I could hear her talking to herself. On and on she went, talk talk talk, asking questions and giving herself the answers. I thought there must be two or three people up there with her. When Mr Woolf saw that I looked surprised he told me that Mrs Woolf always said the sentences out loud that she had written during the night.

She needed to know if they sounded right and the bath was a good place for trying them out.

I was not allowed to make coffee at Monk’s House. Mr and Mrs Woolf were very particular about coffee and always made it themselves, so Mr Woolf came into the kitchen at eight o’clock every morning to make it. When we carried the breakfast tray to Mrs Woolf’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 seems as though she had had very little sleep.

Mrs Woolf’s bedroom was outside the house in the garden. I used to think how inconvenient it must be to have to go out in the rain to go to bed. Her bedroom 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. Because the writing room was small, he had had a large one built for her at the end of the garden against the church wall.

I can always remember her coming to the house each day from the writing room, when I rang the bell for lunch at one o’clock she used to walk down through the garden smoking one of her favorite cigarettes in a long holder. She was tall and thin and very graceful. She had large, deep-set eyes and a wide curving mouth. I think perhaps it was this that made her face seem particularly beautiful. She wore long skirt – usually blue or brown – in the fashion of the day, and silk jacket of the same color. Her cigarettes were made from a special tobacco called My Mixture. Mr Woolf bought it for her in London and, in the evenings, they used to sit by the fire and make these cigarettes themselves.

Mrs Woolf wore clothes that suited her well. I pressed them for her 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 Mrs Woolf was very good at doing; she could make beautiful bread.

1. What was particularly unusual about Monk’s House?

A. The bathroom was next door to the kitchen.

B. Mrs Woolf’s bedroom door opened on to the garden.

C. The kitchen window looked out over fields.

D. The breakfast room was upstairs.

B. She worked in the garden whenever she could.

C. She preferred to write in the house.

D. She sometimes wrote in the bath.

3. Mrs Woolf wore clothes which were_______

A.in matching colors.	B.designed for her individually,
C.suitable for country life.	D.rather dull and unattractive.

4. Mr Woolf’s attitude toward 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.

A.was too busy to do	B.disliked doing any.
C.was very bad at it.	D.liked one or two particular tasks.
