PASSAGE
 1-­‐

 Questions
 61-­‐67
 
Southwell
  in
  Nottinghamshire
  is
  full
  of
  surprises.
  The
  first
  is
  Britain’s
  least-­‐known
  ancient
  cathedral,
 
Southwell
  Minster,
  celebrated
  by
  writers
  of
  an
  environmental
  disposition
  for
  the
  pagan

  figures
  of
 
‘green’
 men
 which
 medieval
 craftsmen
 carved
 into
 the
 decorations
 in
 its
 thirteenth-­‐century
 chapter
 
house.
  The
  second,
  appropriately
  enough,
  is
  Britain’s
  greenest
  dwelling,
  the
  ‘autonomous
  house’,
 

designed
 and
 built
 by
 Robert
 and
 Brenda
 Vale.
 
The
  Vales
  use
  rainwater
  for
  washing
  and
  drinking,
  recycle
  their
  sewage
  into
  garden
  compost
  and
 
heat
  their
  house
  with
  waste

  heat
  from
  elctrical
  appliances
  and
  their
  own
  body
  heat,
  together
  with
 
that
 of
 their
 three
 teenage
 children
 and
 their
 two
 cats,
 Edison
 and
 Faraday.
 You
 could
 easily
 
 miss

 the
 
traditional-­‐looking
  house,
  roofed
  with
  clay
  pantiles,
  on
  a
  verdant
  corner
  plot
  300
  yards
  rom
  the
 
Minister.
 It
 was
 designed
 to
 echo
 the
 burnt
 –
 orange
 brick
 of

 the
 town’s
 nineteenth-­‐century
 buildings
 
and
 won
 approval
 from
 planners
 even
 though
 it
 is
 in
 a
 conservation
 area.
 
Ring
  the
  solar-­‐powered
  doorbell
  and
  there
  is
  total
  silence.
  The
  house

  is
  super-­‐insultated,
  with
 
krypton-­‐
  filled
  triple
  –
  glazed
  windows,
  which
  means
  that
  you
  do
  not
  hear
  a
  sound
  inside.
  Once
 
inside
  and
  with
  your
  shoes
  off
  (at
  Robert’s

  insistence),
  there
  is
  a
  monastic
  stillness.
  It
  is
  a
  sunny
 
summer’s
 day,
 the
 windows
 are
 closed
 and
 the
 conservatory
 is
 doing
 its
 normal
 job
 of
 warming
 the
 
air

 before
 it
 ventilates
 the
 house.
 Vale
 apologises
 and
 moves
 through
 the
 house,
 opening
 ingenious
 
ventilation
  shafts
  and
  windows.
  You
  need
  to
  create
  draughts
  because
  draught-­‐proofing
  is
 
everywhere:
 even

 Edison
 and
 Faraday
 have
 their
 own
 air-­‐locked
 miniature
 door.
 
The
  Vales,
  who
  teach
  architecture
  at
  Nottingham
  University,
  were
  serious
  about
  the
  environment
 
long
  before
  it
  hit
  the
  political

  agenda.
  They
  wrote
  a
  book
  on
  green
  architecture
  back
  in
  the
  1970s,
 
The
 Autonomous
 House.
 They
 began
 by
 designing
 a
 building
 which
 emitted
 no
 carbon
 dioxide.
 Then
 
they

  got
  carried
  away
  and
  decided
  to
  do
  without
  mains
  water
  as
  well.
  They
  designed
  composting
 
earth
  closets,
  lowered
  rainwater
  tanks
  into
  the
  cellar,
  and
  specified
  copper
  gutters
  to
  protect

  the
 
drinking
  water,
  which
  they
  pass
  through
  two
  filters
  before
  use.
  Water
  from
  washing
  runs
  into
  the
 

2


garden
  (the
  Vales
  don’t
  have
  a
  dishwasher

  because
  they
  believe
  it
  is
  morally
  unacceptable
  to
  use
 
strong
 detergents).
 Most
 details
 have
 similar
 statement
 in
 mind.
 
‘We
 wanted
 people
 to
 see
 that
 it
 was
 possible
 to

 design
 a
 house
 which
 would
 be
 far
 less
 detrimental
 
to
 the
 environment,
 without
 having
 to
 live
 in
 the
 dark,’
 says
 Robert.
 ‘It
 would
 not
 be
 medieval.’
 The
 
house’s

 only
 medieval
 aspect
 is
 aesthetic:
 the
 hall,
 which
 includes
 the
 hearth
 and
 the
 staircase,
 rises
 
the
 full
 height
 of
 the
 building.
 
The
  Vales
  pay
  no
  water
  bills.
  And

  last
  winter
  the
  house
  used
  only
  nine
  units
  of
  electricity
  a
  day
 
costing
  about
  70p
  –
  which
  is
  roughly
  what
  other
  four
  bedroomed
  houses
  use
  on
  top
  of
  heating.

  Soon
 
it
  wil
  use
  even
  less,
  when
  £20,000
  worth
  of
  solar
  water
  heating
  panels
  and
  generating
  equipment
 
arrive
  and
  are
  erected
  in
  the
  garden.
  The
  house
  will
  draw

  electricity
  from
  the
  mains
  supply
  for
 
cooking
  and
  running
  the
  appliances,
  but
  will
  generate
  a
  surplus
  of
  electricity.
  There
  will
  even
  be
 
enough,
  one
  day,
  to
  charge
  an

  electric
  car.
  The
  only
  heaing
  is
  a
  small
  wood-­‐burning
  stove
  in
  the
  hall,
 
which
 the
 Vales
 claim
 not
 to
 use
 except
 in
 the
 very
 coldest
 weather.
 
So
 is

 it
 warm
 in
 winter?
 One
 night
 in
 February
 when
 I
 happened
 to
 call
 on
 him,
 Robert
 was
 sitting
 
reading.
 It
 was
 too
 warm
 to
 light
 the
 fire,
 he
 said.

 The
 room
 temperature
 on
 the
 first
 floor
 was
 18°C,
 
less
  than
  the
  generally
  expected
  temperature
  of
  living
  areas,
  but
  entirely
  comfortable,
  he
  claimed,
 
because
  there
  are
  no
  draughts,

  no
  radiant
  heat
  loss,
  since
  everything
  you
  touch
  is
  at
  the
  same
 
temperature.
  Perceived
  temperature
  depends
  on
  these
  factors.
  An
  Edwardian
  lady
  in
  the
  early
  years
 
of
  the

  twentieth
  century
  was
  entirely
  comfortable
  at
  12.5°C,
  he
  says,
  because
  of
  the
  insulation
 
provided
 by
 her
 clothing.
 Those
 people
 who
 live
 in
 pre-­‐1900
 housing,
 he
 suggests,
 should
 simply
 go

 
back
 to
 living
 as
 people
 did
 then.
 Somehow,
 it
 is
 difficult
 to
 think
 of
 this
 idea
 catching
 on.
 
The
  house’s
  secret
  is
  that
  it
  is
  low-­‐tech
  and
  there

  is
  little
  to
  go
  wrong.
  Almost
  everything
  was
 
obtained
 from
 a
 builder’s
 merchant
 and
 installed
 by
 local
 craftsmen.
 This
 made
 the
 house
 cheap
 to
 
build
  –
  it
  cost

  the
  same
  price
  per
  square
  metre
  as
  low-­‐cost
  housing
  for
  rent.
  Not
  surprisingly,
  the
 
commercial
 building
 companies
 are
 determinedly
 resisting
 this
 idea.
 
61.
 According
 to
 the
 writer,
 the

 exterior
 of
 the
 Vales’
 house
 is
 
A.
 unique
 


 

B.
 unattractive
 C.
 controversial
 

D.
 unremarkable
 

62.
 Why
 did
 Robert
 Vale
 apologise

 to
 the
 writer
 on
 his
 arrival?
 
A.
 The
 ventilation
 system
 had
 failed.
 
B.
 The
 temperature
 was
 uncomfortable.
 
C.
 The
 conservatory
 was
 not
 functioning
 properly.
 
D.
 The

 draughts
 were
 unwelcome.
 
63.
 What
 does
 the
 writer
 suggest
 about
 environmental
 issues
 in
 the
 fourth
 paragraph?
 
A.
 They
 have
 always
 been
 a
 difficult
 topic.
 
B.
 They
 have

 become
 a
 subject
 of
 political
 debate.
 
C.
 The
 Vales
 have
 changed
 their
 views
 in
 recent
 years.
 
D.
 The
 Vales
 have
 begun
 to
 take
 a
 political
 interest
 in
 the

 subject.
 
64.
 What
 does
 the
 writer
 imply
 about
 the
 decision
 not
 to
 use
 mains
 water
 in
 the
 Vales’
 house?
 
A.
 It
 was
 impractical
 


 

 


 


 

B.
 It
 was
 later
 regretted.
 

C.
 It
 was
 an
 extreme
 choice.
 
 


 


 

D.
 It
 caused
 unexpected
 problems.
 

65.
  In
  Robert
  Vale’s
  opinion,
  his
  home
  challenges
  the
  idea
  that
  houses
  designed
  with
  the
 
environment
 in
 mind
 must
 be
 

A.
 draughty.
 B.
 primitive.
 


 

C.
 small.
 


 

D.
 ugly.
 

66.
 The
 planned
 changes
 to
 the
 house’s
 electrical
 system
 will

 mean
 that
 
A.
 the
 house
 will
 produce
 more
 electricity
 than
 it
 uses.
 

3


B.
 the
 Vales
 will
 not
 use
 electricity
 from
 the
 mains
 supply.
 

C.
 the
 house
 will
 use
 more
 electricity
 than
 it
 does
 now.
 
D.
 the
 Vales’
 electricity
 bills
 will
 remain
 at
 their
 current
 level.
 
67.
 According
 to
 Robert
 Vale,
 the

 house
 was
 comfortable
 in
 February
 because
 
A.
 no
 variations
 in
 temperature
 could
 be
 noticed.
 
B.
 18°C
 was
 acceptable
 for
 ordinary
 houses.
 
C.
 it
 was
 not
 a
 particular

 cold
 winter.
 
D.
 he
 had
 got
 used
 to
 the
 temperature.
 

 
PASSAGE
 2-­‐
 Questions
 68-­‐73
 
Less
  than
  40
  years
  ago,
  tourism
  was
  encouraged
  as
  an
  unquestionable

  good.
  With
  the
  arrival
  of
 
package
 holidays
 and
 charter
 flights,
 tourism
 could
 at
 last
 be
 enjoyed
 by
 the
 masses.
 Yet
 one
 day,
 it
 
seems
 feasible
 that
 there
 will

 be
 no
 more
 tourists.
 There
 will
 be
 ‘adventurers’,
 ‘fieldwork
 assisstants’,
 
‘volunteers’
  and,
  of
  course,
  ‘travellers’.
  But
  the
  term
  ‘tourist’
  will
  be
  extinct.
  There
  might
  be
  those
 
who
  quietly

  slip
  away
  to
  foreign
  lands
  for
  nothing
  other
  than
  pure
  pleasure,
  but
  it
  will
  be
  a
  secretive
 
and
 frowned
 upon
 activity.
 No
 one
 will
 want
 to
 own
 up
 to

 being
 one
 of
 those.
 In
 fact,
 there
 are
 already
 
a
  few
  countries
  prohibiting
  tourists
  from
  entering
  certain
  areas
  where
  the
  adverse
  effects
  of
  tourism
 
have
  already
  struck.
  Tourists

  have
  been
  charged
  with
  bringing
  nothing
  with
  them
  but
  their
  money
 
and
 wreaking
 havoc
 with
 the
 local
 environment.
 
It
 won’t
 be
 easy
 to
 wipe
 out
 this
 massive,
 ever

 growing
 
 tribe.
 Today
 there
 are
 more
 than
 700
 million
 
‘tourist
  arrivals’
  each
  year.
  The
  World
  Tourism
  Organization
  forecasts
  that
  by
  2020,
  there
  will
  be
 
1.56
 billion
 tourists

 travelling
 at
 any
 one
 time.
 The
 challenge
 to
 forcibly
 curtail
 more
 than
 a
 billion
 
tourists
  from
  going
  where
  they
  want
  is
  immense.
  It
  is
  so
  immense
  as
  tobe
  futile.

  You
  cannot
  make
  so
 
many
 economically
 empowered
 people
 stop
 doing
 something
 they
 want
 to
 do
 unless
 you
 argue
 that
 
it
 is
 of
 extreme
 damage
 to
 the
 welfare
 of

 the
 world
 that
 only
 the
 truly
 malicious,
 utterly
 selfish
 and
 
totally
 irresponsible
 would
 ever
 even
 consider
 doing
 it.
 This
 is
 clearly
 absurd.
 Whatever
 benefits
 or
 
otherwise
 accrue
 from

 tourism,
 it
 is
 not,
 despite
 what
 a
 tiny
 minority
 say,
 evil.
 I
 can
 cause
 harm.
 It
 
can
 be
 morally
 neutral.
 And
 it
 can
 occasionally,
 be
 a
 force
 
 for

 great
 good.
 
So
  tourism
  is
  being
  attacked
  by
  more
  subtle
  methods,
  by
  being
  re-­‐branded
  in
  the
  hope
  we
  won’t
 
 
recognise
 it
 as
 the
 unattractive
 entity
 it
 once

 was.
 The
 word
 ‘tourist’
 is
 being
 removed
 from
 anything
 
that
 was
 once
 called
 a
 holiday
 in
 the
 pamphlet
 that
 was
 once
 called
 a
 holiday
 brochure.
 Adventurers,
 
fieldwork
  assisstants

  and
  volunteers
  don’t
  go
  on
  holidays.
  ‘Un-­‐tourists’
  (as
  I
  will
  call
  them)
  go
  on
 
things
  called
  ‘cultural
  experiences’,
  ‘expeditions’,
  ‘projects’
  and
  most
  tellingly,
  ‘missions’.
  The
  word
 
‘mission’
  is

  perhaps
  unintentionally,
  fitting.
  While
  this
  re-­‐branding
  is
  supposed
  to
  present
  a
 
progressive
  approach
  to
  travel,
  it
  is
  firmly
  rooted
  in
  the
  viewpoint
  of
  the
  Victorian
  era.
  Like
 
nineteenth-­‐century

  Victorian
  travellers,
  the
  modern
  day
  un-­‐tourists
  insists
  that
  the
  main
  motive
 
behind
  their
  adventure
  is
  to
  help
  others.
  Whereass
  the
  mass
  tourist
  and
  the
  area
  they
  visit
  are
 

condemned
 as
 anti-­‐ethical
 and
 at
 loggerheads,
 the
 ethos
 of
 the
 un-­‐tourist
 and
 the
 needs
 of
 the
 area
 
they
 wander
 into
 are
 presumed
 to
 be
 in
 tune
 with
 each
 other.

 
The
 re-­‐packaging
 of
 tourism
 as
 meaningful,
 self-­‐sacrificing
 travel
 is
 liberating.
 It
 allows
 you
 to
 go
 to
 
all
  sorts
  of
  places
  that
  would
  be
  ethically
  out
  of
  bounds
  to

  a
  regular
  tourist
  under
  the
  guise
  of
 
mission.
 Indeed,
 the
 theory
 behind
 un-­‐tourism
 relies
 upon
 exclusivity;
 it
 is
 all
 about
 preventing
 other
 
people
 travelling
 in
 order
 that
 you

 might
 legitimise
 your
 own
 travels.
 Mass
 tourists
 are,
 by
 definition,
 
excluded
  from
  parttaking
  of
  this
  new
  kind
  of
  un-­‐tourism.
  Pretending
  you
  are
  not
  doing
  something
 
that
 you
 actually

 are
 –
 i.e.
 going
 on
 holiday
 –
 is
 at
 the
 heart
 of
 the
 un-­‐tourist
 endeavour.
 Every
 aspect
 
of
  the
  experience
  has
  to
  be
  disguised.
  So,
  gone
  are
  the
  glossy

  brochures.
  Instead
  the
  expeditions,
 
projects
  and
  adventures
  are
  advertised
  in
  publications
  more
  likely
  to
  resemble
  magazines
  with
  a
 
concern
 in
 ecological
 or
 cultural
 issues.
 The
 price
 is
 usually

 well
 hidde
 as
 if
 there
 is
 a
 reluctance
 to
 
admit
  that
  this
  is,
  in
  essence,
  a
  commercial
  transaction.
  There
  is
  something
  disturbing
  in
  having
  to
 
pay
 to
 do

 good.

Meaningful
 contact
 with
 and
 respect
 for
 local
 culture
 also
 concerns
 the
 un-­‐tourist.
 In
 the
 third
 world,
 
respect
 for
 the
 local
 culture
 is
 based

 on
 a
 presumed
 innate
 inability
 within
 that
 culture
 to
 understand
 
that
 there
 are
 other
 ways
 of
 living
 to
 their
 own.
 They
 are
 portrayed,
 in
 effect,
 
 as
 being
 perplexed

 by
 
our
  newness,
  and
  their
  culture
  is
  presented
  as
  so
  vulnerable
  that
  a
  handful
  of
  western
  tourists
  poses
 
a
 huge
 threat.
 This
 is
 despite
 the
 fact
 that
 many

 of
 these
 cultures
 are
 more
 rooted,
 ancient
 and
 have
 
survived
  far
  longer
  than
  any
  culture
  in
  the
  first
  world.
  None
  of
  this
  ought
  to
  matter
  as
  un-­‐tourism
 
makes

  up
  less
  than
  4%
  of
  the
  total
  tourism
  industry.
  But
  un-­‐tourists
  have
  been
  so
  successfully
  re-­‐
branded
 that
 they
 have
 come
 to
 define
 what
 it
 means
 to
 be
 a
 good

 tourist.
 
All
  tourism
  should
  be
  responsible
  towards
  and
  respectful
  of
  environmental
  and
  human
  resources.
 
Some
 tourist
 developments,
 as
 well
 as,
 inevitably,
 individual
 tourists,
 have
 not
 been
 
 so

 and
 should
 
be
  challenged.
  But
  instead,
  a
  divide
  is
  being
  driven
  between
  those
  few
  privileged,
  high-­‐paying
 
tourists
  and
  the
  masses.
  There
  is
  no
  difference
  between
  them
  –
  they

  are
  just
  being
  packaged
  as
 
something
  different.
  Our
  concern
  should
  not
  be
  with
  this
  small
  number
  but
  with
  the
  majority
  of
 
travellers.
  But
  why
  should
  we
  bother?
  We

  who
  concern
  ourselves
  with
  this
  debate
  are
  potentially
  or
 
probably
 un-­‐tourists.
 We
 aren’t
 interested
 in
 saving
 leisure
 time
 abroad
 for
 the
 majority
 of
 people:
 
we’re
  interested
  in
  making

  ourselves
  feel
  good.
  That’s
  why
  we’ve
  succumbed
  to
  the
  re-­‐branding
  of
 
our
  enjoyment,
  and
  refuse
  to
  take
  up
  a
  term
  we
  believe
  to
  be
  tainted.
  How
  many
  times
  have

  you
 
owned
 up
 to
 being
 a
 tourist?
 

 
68
 The
 writer
 suggests
 that
 in
 the
 future,
 

 

A
 there
 will
 be
 a
 limited
 choice

 of
 destinations
 available
 to
 tourists.
 


 

B
 tourists
 will
 be
 required
 to
 pay
 more
 for
 any
 holidays
 they
 take.
 


 

C
 holidays

 will
 not
 exist
 in
 the
 same
 form
 as
 we
 know
 them
 now.
 


 

D
 people
 going
 on
 holiday
 to
 relax
 will
 feel
 obliged
 to
 feel
 ashamed.

 

69
 What
 does
 the
 writer
 say
 about
 stopping
 tourism?
 

 

A
 The
 expansion
 of
 the
 tourism
 industry
 will
 continue.
 
B
 Countries
 economically
 dependent
 on

 tourism
 would
 suffer
 from
 any
 restrictions.
 
C
 The
 industry
 will
 not
 be
 able
 to
 cope
 once
 tourist
 numbers
 reach
 a
 certain
 limit.
 
D
 Tourists
 must
 be
 persuaded
 that

 having
 a
 holiday
 is
 ethically
 wrong.
 

70
 According
 to
 the
 writer,
 the
 aim
 of
 re-­‐branding
 tourism
 is
 to
 

 

A
 ensure
 the
 skills
 
 of

 travellers
 match
 the
 needs
 of
 the
 area
 they
 go
 to.
 


 

B
 deceive
 travellers
 about
 the
 purpose
 of
 their
 trip
 to
 foreign
 countries.
 

 

C
 make
 travellers
 aware
 of
 the
 harmful
 effects
 of
 trational
 tourism.
 


 

D
 offers
 types
 of
 holidays
 that
 bring
 benefits
 to
 poor
 communities.
 

71
 In
 paragraph
 four,
 the
 writer
 suggests
 that
 ‘un-­‐tourists’
 are
 

 

A
 more
 concerned
 with
 the
 environmental
 issues
 than
 other
 tourists.
 


 

B
 unwilling
 to
 pay
 for
 the
 experience
 of
 helping
 people.
 


 

C
 able
 to
 take
 holiday
 without
 a
 sense
 of
 guilt.
 


 

D
 pressing
 for
 the
 introduction
 of
 laws
 to
 ban
 mass
 tourism.
 

72
 The
 writer
 states
 that
 third
 world
 cultures
 

 

A
 are
 unlikely
 to
 be

 disturbed
 by
 the
 presence
 of
 foreigners.
 


 

B
 cannot
 always
 comprehend
 other
 cultural
 traditions.
 


 

C
 risk
 losing
 their
 identity
 by
 exposure

 to
 tourism.

D
 can
 only
 be
 encountered
 through
 careful
 integration.
 

73
 According
 to
 the
 writer,
 the
 belief
 that
 mass
 tourism

 is
 bad
 has
 resulted
 in
 

 

A
 more
 tourists
 deciding
 to
 take
 holidays
 in
 their
 own
 country
 instead.
 


 

B
 the
 increasing
 construction

 of
 environmentally
 friendly
 tourist
 resorts.
 


 

C
 certain
 people
 being
 hypocritical
 about
 their
 reasons
 for
 travelling.
 


 

D
 the
 possibilty
 of
 charging

 different
 prices
 for
 identical
 holidays.
 


 
PASSAGE
 3-­‐
 Questions
 74-­‐80
 
One
 minute
 into
 the
 annual
 inspection
 and
 things
 are
 already
 going
 wrong
 for
 the
 Globe
 Hotel.

 Not
 
that
 they
 know
 it
 yet.
 The
 receptionist
 reciting
 room
 rates
 over
 the
 pone
 to
 a
 potential
 guest
 is
 still
 
blissfully
  unaware
  of
  the
  identity
  of
  the
  real

  guest
  she
  is
  doggedly
  ignoring.
  ‘Hasn’t
  even
 
acknowledged
 us,’
 Sue
 Brown
 says
 out
 of
 the
 corner
 of
 her
 mouth.
 ‘Very
 poor.’
 It
 is
 a
 classic
 arrival-­‐
phrase
 error,
 and

 one
 that
 Sue
 has
 encountered
 scores
 of
 times
 in
 her
 11
 years
 as
 an
 inspector.
 ‘But
 
this
 isn’t
 an
 ordinary
 three-­‐star
 place,’
 she
 protests.
 ‘It
 has
 three
 red
 stars,

 and
 I
 would
 expect
 better.’
 
To
 be
 the
 possessor
 of
 red
 stars
 means
 that
 the
 Globe
 is
 rated
 among
 the
 top
 130
 of
 the
 4,000
 listed
 
in
  the

  hotel
  guide
  published
  by
  the
  organisation
  she
  works
  for.
  However,
  even
  before
  our
  frosty
 
welcome,
  a
  chill
  has
  entered
  the
  air.
  Access
  from
  the
  car
  park
  has
  been
  via

  an
  unmanned
  door,
 
operated
 by
 an
 impersonal
 buzzer,
 followed
 by
 a
 long,
 twisting,
 deserted
 corridor
 leading
 to
 the
 hotel
 
entrance.
 ‘Again,
 not
 what
 I
 had
 expected,’
 says
 Sue.

 
Could
  things
  get
  worse?
  They
  could.
  ‘We
  seem
  to
  have
  no
  record
  of
  your
  booking,’
  announces
  the
 
receptionist,
 in
 her
 best
 sing-­‐song
 how-­‐may-­‐I-­‐help-­‐you
 voice.
 
It
  turns
  out

  that
  a
  dozen
  of
  the
  hotel’s
  15
  rooms
  are
  unoccupied
  that
  night.
  One
  is
  on
  the
  top
  floor.
  It
 
is
  not
  to
  the
  inspector’s
  taste:
  suffiness
  is
  one
  criticism,

  the
  other
  is
  a
  gaping
  panel
  at
  the
  back
  of
  the
 
wardrobe,
 behind
 which
 is
 a
 large
 hole
 in
 the
 wall.
 
When
 she
 began
 her
 inspecting
 career,
 she

 earned
 an
 early
 reputation
 for
 toughness.
 ‘The
 Woman
 in
 
Black,
 I
 was
 known
 as,’
 she
 recalls,
 ‘which
 was
 funny,
 because
 I
 never
 used
 to
 wear
 black.
 And
 I’ve
 

never
 been
 too
 tough.’
 Not
 that
 you
 would
 know
 it
 the
 next
 morning
 when,
 after
 paying
 her
 bill,
 she
 
suddenly
 reveaals
 her
 identity
 to
 the
 Globe’s
 general
 manager,
 Robin

 Greaves.
 From
 the
 look
 on
 his
 
face,
 her
 arrival
 has
 caused
 terror.
 
Even
  before
  she
  says
  anything
  else,
  he
  expresses
  abject
  apologies
  for
  the
  unpleasant
  smell
  in
  the

 
main
 lounge.
 ‘We
 think
 there’s
 a
 blocked
 drain
 there,’
 he
 sighs.
 ‘The
 whole
 floor
 will
 probably
 have
 to
 
come
 up.’
 Sue
 gently
 suggests
 that
 as
 well
 as
 sorting

 out
 the
 plumbing,
 he
 might
 also
 prevail
 upon
 his
 
staff
 not
 to
 usher
 guests
 into
 the
 room
 so
 readily.
 ‘Best,
 perhaps,
 to
 steer
 them
 to
 the
 other
 lounge,’
 

she
 says.
 Greaves
 nods
 with
 glum
 enthusiasm
 and
 gamely
 takes
 notes.
 He
 has
 been
 at
 the
 Globe
 for
 
onlu
  five
  months,
  and
  you
  can
  see
  him
  struggling
  to
  believe

  Sue
  when
  she
  says
  that
  this
  dissection
  of
 
the
 hotel
 can
 only
 be
 for
 the
 good
 of
 the
 place
 in
 the
 long
 run.
 
Not
 that
 it’s
 all
 on

 the
 negative
 side.
 Singled
 out
 for
 commendation
 are
 Emma,
 the
 assistant
 manager,
 
and
 Trudy,
 the
 young
 waitress,
 who
 dished
 out
 a
 sheaf
 of
 notes
 about
 the
 building’s
 400-­‐year
 history.

 
Dinner,
  too,
  has
  done
  enough
  to
  maintain
  the
  hotel’s
  two-­‐rosette
  food
  rating,
  thereby
  encouraging
 
Greaves
  to
  push
  his
  luck
  a
  bit.
  ‘So
  what
  do
  we
  have
  to
  do

  to
  get
  three
  rosettes?’
  he
  enquires.
  Sue’s
 
suggestions
  include:
  ‘Not
  serve
  a
  pudding
  that
  collapses.’
  The
  brief
  flicker
  of
  light
  in
  Greaves’
  eyes
 
goes
 out.
 
It
 is

 Sue
 Brown’s
 uneviable
 job
 to
 voice
 the
 complaints
 the
 rest
 of
 us
 more
 cowardly
 consumers
 do
 
not
  have
  the
  courage
  to
  articulate.
  ‘Sometimes
  one
  can
  be
  treading
  on
  very

  delicate
  ground.
  I
 
remember,
  in
  one
  case,
  a
  woman
  rang
  to
 complain
 I’d
 got
 her
 son
 the
 sack.
 All
 I
 could
 say
 was
 the
 
truth,
 which
 was
 that

 he’d
 served
 me
 apple
 pie
 with
 his
 fingers.’
 Comeback

 involve
 spurious

allegations
 of
 everything,
 from
 a
 superior
 attitude
 to
 demanding
 bribes.
 ‘You
 come
 to

 expect
 it
 after
 a
 
while,
 but
 it
 hurts
 everytime,’
 she
 says.
 
Sue
  is
  required
  not
  just
  to
  relate
  her
  findings
  to
  the
  hotelier
  verbally,
  but
  also
  to
  send

  them
  a
  full
 
written
 report.
 They
 are,
 after
 all,
 paying
 for
 the
 privilege
 of
 her
 putting
 them
 straight.
 (There
 is
 an
 
annual
 fee
 for
 inclusion
 in
 the
 guide.)

 Nevertheless,
 being
 singled
 out
 for
 red-­‐star
 treatment
 makes
 it
 
more
  than
  worthwhile.
  So
  it
  is
  reassuring
  for
  Greaves
  to
  hear
  that
  Sue
  is
  not
  going
  to
  recommend
 
that

 the
 Globe
 be
 stripped
 of
 its
 red
 stars.
 That
 is
 the
 good
 news.
 The
 bad
 is
 that
 another
 inspector
 
will
 be
 back
 in
 the
 course
 of
 the
 next
 two

 months
 to
 make
 sure
 that
 everything
 has
 been
 put
 right.
 
‘Good,’
 smiles
 Greaves
 unconvincingly.
 ‘We’ll
 look
 forward
 to
 that.’

 By
 modern
 standards,
 the
 first
 supermarkets
 were
 really
 quite
 small.
 
A.
 Compared
 with
 what
 we
 have
 now,
 the
 early
 supermarkets
 weren't
 actually
 very
 large

 at
 all.
 
B.
 The
 early
 supermarkets
 and
 the
 present-­‐day
 ones
 are
 quite
 different
 from
 each
 other,
 even
 in
 
size.
 
C.
 Present-­‐day
 supermarkets
 are
 on
 the
 whole
 larger

 than
 the
 early
 ones.
 
D.
 Supermarkets
 have
 grown
 in
 size
 since
 they
 were
 first
 introduced,
 but
 their
 standards
 remain
 
the
 same.

 I
 just
 can't
 understand
 why

 so
 few
 people
 are
 interested
 in
 this
 camping
 holiday.
 
A.
 I
 find
 it
 surprising
 that
 there
 aren't
 fewer
 people
 interested
 in
 such
 a
 camping
 holiday.
 
B.
 Hardly
 anyone

 wants
 to
 go
 on
 this
 camping
 holiday,
 which
 I
 find
 strange.
 
C.
 It's
 hardly
 surprising
 that
 so
 few
 people
 are
 interested
 in
 this
 camping
 holiday.
 
D.
 To
 my

 surprise
 almost
 no
 one
 was
 interested
 in
 such
 a
 camping
 holiday.
