 A) READING COMPREHENSION

Read the following text and answer the questions that follow:

How many times can you fall in love in one month? Once? Twice? If you were Jenny
Gisby, 20, from Nottingham, UK, the answer would be four times or more. But Jenny
doesn’t fall in love with a new person every time. She falls in love with her boyfriend,
Stuart Balmforth, over and over again.
This isn’t a romantic story of a young couple’s relationship. Jenny and Stuart began
going out around three years ago. During this time, Jenny was a university student
and she also worked at a shop. Then one day, she became ill while she was at work.
She was sent to hospital and she was in a coma there for some time. The doctors at
the hospital said that she had a brain condition. Her legs were affected by the
condition and after she woke up from the coma, she couldn’t walk. She also couldn’t
remember things – including her parents and her boyfriend. She slowly started to
recognise them, but at least once a week, she woke up in the morning with no
memory again.
Many young men would break off the relationship if this happened to their girlfriend.
But not Stuart. He accepted Jenny’s condition and stayed with her. To solve her
memory problems, Jenny decided to keep a memory album with pictures of her and
Stuart together. Every important event in their relationship is in the album. If Jenny
forgets Stuart, the pictures in the album will always help her remember. Jenny told
reporters that every time she saw their memories on the pages, she felt like she was
falling in love with Stuart all over again. Hopefully, she will continue falling in love
with him for many years to come!
