I. Read the following text and write the right answer A, B, C or D on the separate answer
sheet: (2px5=10p)
Adam Randall was thirty years old and he looked like a rock star. He was very handsome, with long
blonde hair. He knew most of 11511g613l the other members of the Andrea Gail's crew. He had
fished all his life and he knew a lot about fishing boats. When he saw a boat, he knew at once if it
was safe or not.
Adam had driven to that morning with his father-in-law. He'd walked around the deck of the
Andrea Gail for a long time, not saying very much. Then finally he had got off the boat and gone
back to his father-in-law's car.
"I'm not going out on that boat," he'd said. "I'm not going to take this job."
"What are you saying?" asked his father-in-law in surprise. "You really need this job, Adam. You
haven't worked in three months and you need the money. What's the problem? The Andrea Gail is a
very good boat - it's one of the best swordfishing boats on the coast."
"I know that," replied Adam. But I've got a strange feeling about the Andrea Gail. When I was
walking around her I felt a cold wind on my skin. I think that none of her crew is going to come
back from this trip."
Adam's father-in-law was very shocked.
"Are you going to tell them what you think?" he asked.
Adam thought for a while.
"No, he said at last. "I can't do that. I can't tell them that they are going to die.. And maybe I'm
wrong. Each man has to make up his own mind about a fishing trip.
