Companies in the UK (1) face a multibillion-dollar bill after a court ruled that

employment tribunal said it was wrong for companies (3) just to consider basic
working hours when (4) determining holiday pay. It ruled that thousands of
companies must recalculate their holiday pay. Tens of thousands of workers can
now make (5) claims from their employers backdated to as long ago as 1998. The
tribunal also stipulated that voluntary overtime and time spent being (6) on standby for emergency call-outs should be included when calculating holiday pay. Over
15 percent of British workers do overtime. The British government has said the
new change (7) in employment law is unacceptable and "ludicrous". It said: "We
do not believe voluntary overtime should be included in holiday pay and are
concerned about the (8) potential impact on employers." An organization of
British companies said the cost to businesses will be "unbearable" and may have
(9) serious implications for Britain's economy. A labor union was (10) pleased
with the tribunal's announcement.

Section 2: Language use (60 marks)
I. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
Consumers went back to using their credit cards in March to keep spending while
student and new-car loans shot up as the value of outstanding consumer credit
jumped at the fastest rate since late 2001, data from the Federal Reserve showed
on Monday. Total consumer credit grew by $21.36 billion - more than twice the
$9.8 billion rise that Wall Street economists surveyed by Reuters had forecast.
That followed a revised $9.27 billion increase in outstanding credit in February.
Analysts expressed some reservations whether the date reliably signaled a real
pickup in demand, something that would normally fuel stronger growth, or just a

need to rely more on credit in an economy generating anemic job growth.
"The optimistic read is that consumers' improved outlook on the economy and
employment prospects led them to feel comfortable spending on credit, while a
more downbeat interpretation is that credit is needed for consumers to keep up,"
Nomura Global Economics said in a note afterward. The March rise in consumer
credit was the strongest for any month since November 2001 when it soared by
$28 billion. New-car sales and production were a key influence on the 2.2 percent
annual rate of economic growth posted during the first three months this year. The
government estimated that about half of that growth came from increased new car
production.
