B. READING

I. Read the text and questions below.

For each question, mark the correct letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet.

ROCK BAND
Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben, asked us for a set of drums for his
birthday. At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise.
‘It’s better than watching television or playing computer games in my free time,’
Ben argued, ‘and it’ll keep me out of trouble.’ In the end we gave in. ‘All right,’
we said, ‘but you must consider the rest of the family and the neighbours when
you play.’
That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments
to transport, the other members of Ben’s band started appearing at our home with their guitars and other
electrical equipment. And so, for several hours a week, the house shakes to the noise of their instruments
and their teenage singing.
At least Ben's hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start practising, my husband and I go
out for a long walk. And I must admit that, although their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly
and polite group of young men. I cannot judge their musical skill - after all I didn’t expect my parents’
generation to like the same music as I did when I was a teenager - but they do play regularly in local clubs
for young people.
Our main worry is that they won’t spend enough time on their school work because of their musical activities,
though this hasn’t happened yet. I am always stressing to Ben how important his studies are. But one thing
is certain - Ben was right: it has kept him out of trouble and he is never bored.

22. What does the writer say about the band members?
A. Their influence on her son worries her. B. Their taste in music is different from hers.
C. They play their instruments well. D. They avoid any contact with her.

23. What might the writer say to her son?

A. Your teacher has just phoned. He wants to know
why you weren’t at school today.
C. If you don’t know what to do with yourself,
there’s a good programme on the television in a
few minutes.
B. When are you playing at the club next? Dad
and I would love to come along again.
D. Are you sure you’ve finished your
homework? It’s more important than band
practice.
