advertisements for many years, his books on cooking sell better than any other food writer’s, and journalists
are always writing articles about him.
A few years ago, Jamie opened the restaurant Fifteen in London. The name doesn’t describe where the
restaurant is – it’s because he chose this number of young people to become cooks there. Not one of them
knew how to cook so Jamie sent them to college in the year before he opened the restaurant. They also
visited other restaurants to learn more.
Fifteen really started because of a conversation Jamie had with his wife’s friend. She worked with
difficult children and found that they always enjoyed cooking, so Jamie decided to start a restaurant business
to help young people with problems.

has several receptionists answering phone calls. There is another Fifteen in Amsterdam. Like the London

Read the following passage and choose the best answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
Are you happy with your present job? This is the question, the answer of which has great significance
in your professional life. If you are happy with your job and even love it, then life becomes much easier
and happier for you. After all, when we love a thing, we enjoy doing it. On the other hand, if you look at
your job as a burden and as a necessity, then you can never attain professional satisfaction and happiness.
Almost each of us works for money. However, money should not be the sole criterion for selecting a
job. You should select a job which gives you inner satisfaction and happiness. You should respect your
job and feel happy doing it as that is the marker of true professional success. Job satisfaction plays a
great role in defining your efficiency and productivity. An employee who is satisfied and happy with his
job will have higher productivity than an employee who looks at his job only as a means for monetary
benefits. This is because job satisfaction provides a person with inner motivation and self-encouragement
to give his best to his job. He will always try to scale new heights of success – an attitude which is not
only beneficial for the company, but also for his own professional success. A person who is satisfied
with his job helps in creating a positive work environment. He always helps boost up the morale of his
colleagues and helps in creating a harmonious relationship at work. After all, job satisfied employees
are the ones who truly follow the concept of “work is worship”. This is because, they believe in what they
are doing and the belief and confidence provide them with the required zeal, passion and motivation to
succeed in life.
Question 36. The passage is about ______.
A. the necessity of job satisfaction B. the facts that job satisfaction requires
C. the concept of job satisfaction D. job satisfaction and motivation

B. Companies get benefits from employees who have got job satisfaction.
C. There are employees who look for a job to earn money only.
D. One only needs job satisfaction and salary is not important.

Until recently, Shade Ajayi had never gone to school. Now 50, the businesswoman is learning to read
and write alongside students nearly 40 years younger than she is. Ajayi attends a school in Ilorin, in
Nigeria. She wears the same uniform as hundreds of girls at the school: a pink dress and head
covering. “I’m not ashamed that I wear a uniform,” she said. As a child, Ajayi worked in her aunt’s shop
instead of attending school. She now runs her own business making and selling purses and bags. But she
believes her inability to read or write is holding her back.
Ajayi signed up to attend school last year, but the school closed because of the coronavirus
pandemic. Schools reopened in January and Ajayi finally got her chance. She sits in a class with students
aged 11 to 13 and raises her hand to answer questions.
Ajayi’s teacher, Nasrat Busari, said she did not appear worried about the age difference with
other students. “She has been coping well with them: playing together, talking together and discussing
things together,” he said.
Ajayi’s daughter, Shola Adeboye, said at first, she was embarrassed that her mother attended
school alongside children. But later, she supported her mother’s efforts.
Ajayi still makes bags and purses after finishing classes. She plans to continue her education for four
more years, saying it will help her business. “People around me can read and write and they are succeeding
in their businesses,” said Ajayi. And she does not seem to care what others may say about her. Ajayi said,
“It’s my duty not to pay attention to what they’re saying.”
