2ST WRITTEN TEST – BASIC I

1. Read the text and answer the questions below: (1,2 = 0,2 each)
Socks the Cat
Yes, presidents are famous for their dogs, but Socks the Cat was not a man to be denied. He was adopted by the
Clintons as the official presidential pet in 1991 after braving the secret service and audaciously jumping into the
arms of Chelsea Clinton as she was leaving a piano lesson. He enjoyed six beautiful years as the official White
House pet. A cartoon avatar of Socks even guided visitors through the White House website.Socks’ glory days,
however, were not to last. In 1997 an interloper, a Labrador Retriever by the name of Buddy, moved into 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue and quickly displaced Socks.Socks and Buddy despised each other. Hilary Clinton said the
two “hated each other on first sight.” Bill Clinton joked that he had better luck mediating between the Israelis and
the Palestinians.When the Clintons moved out of the White House in 2001 they took Buddy with them and gave
Socks to Clinton’s secretary Betty Currie. Ouch.
