    Module 3 (Rest and Leisure) Test I

    Task 1. Read a part of a teenage boy`s personal account of how his band broke up. For
    questions 1-5 choose the best answer (A-D)

    When you look back, everything seems so insignificant and stupid; the things you did, the
    reason you did them. Everything is so much less complicated in hindsight and you wonder
    what all the fuss was about. I was 14 years old and at the time had a few friends but only
    two best friends. They were very different. One, who I call Daniel, was very popular at
    school and from a family who didn`t want for anything. We enjoyed playing video games
    at his place, where there seemed to be a new gadget or add-on every time I went round.
    My other friend, who I`ll call Bill, was from a tougher background but I always felt I
    could confide in him about the things that mattered to me.
    Bill and I were really into music. Soon we decided to start our own band. I played bass and
    Bill was a fantastic guitarist, we also found a good drummer. Bill and I took it in turns to
    sing and we both got better with practice, especially Bill, who also started composing his
    own lyrics.
    Soon Daniel found out about our band and decided that he wanted to be a part of it. The
    drummer and I liked Daniel but Bill never really got along with him; they were too
    different. Despite this, we moved all our gear to Daniel`s house and everything went well
    for a few weeks. Then one day Daniel told us that he wanted Bill to be kicked out of the
    band and, if we did this, he`d get his parents to buy us loads of new equipment. It was
    truly tempting but I said I needed to think about it, as Bill hadn`t done anything to deserve
    this.
    I had to tell Bill face-to-face about the situation and Daniel`s offer to re-equip the band if
    we let him go. He said he understood that I couldn`t refuse, which made me feel all the
    worse. Bill was a closer friend to me and yet I was being disloyal to him. I felt bad about
    my decision, which he only tried to make lighter for me by easing my conscience.
    Eventually I agreed to let him go. So, Daniel had his way and we got our new music gear.
    But after a few months Daniel got tired of the band and called it quits.
    Needless to say, that decision still haunts me. Daniel drifted out of my life. I have
    contacted Bill, who moved away shortly after our break-up, and he has accepted my
    apologies and forgiven me. In fact, we had the chance to meet up last summer and spend a
    pleasant few weeks hanging out together.
    1. How does the writer feel about the time he describes in the first paragraph?
    A He feels now as he did then.
    B He is confused about what happened.
    C He realizes neither friend were what they seemed.
    D He is more relaxed about it now.
    2. In the early days of the band, Bill and the writer…
    A always sang together.
    B each sang songs they had written.
    C shared the role of singer.
    D were very competitive.
    3. How did the writer react when Daniel suggested the band getting rid of Bill?
    A He totally disagreed with the idea.
    B He recommended getting rid of the drummer.
    C He felt unable to decide immediately.
    D He was tempted to quit himself.
    4. The line ‘had his way’ in the fourth paragraph means that Daniel…
    A managed to get what he wanted.
    B introduced a new musical style.
    C arranged the band`s practice time.
    D chose the new musical equipment.
    5. What do we learn about the writer in the last paragraph?
    A He wishes he had achieved musical fame.
    B His friendship with Bill has stood the test of time.
    C He stopped all contact with Daniel after what happened.
    D He now feels too ashamed of himself to face Bill.
