to live conversation or score a point in an argument. The booklet contains over
5 a thousand quotations, proverbs and sayings. Altogether, they offer a great deal
6 of the information, advice, amusement and comfort. Emerson writes: “I hate
7 quotations” so it is undoubtful that he would have used this book-but we hope
8 that you will. That you use it to improve your knowledge, as an aid to solving

Part 3. Read the following passage and circle the best answer to each of the following questions.
Write your answers in corresponding numbered boxes.
THE MORECAMBE & WISE SHOW
It happened one night. It happened, to be precise, at 8:55 p.m. the night of 25 December 1977,
when an estimated 28,835,000 people - more than half of the total population of the United Kingdom
- turned their television sets to BBC 1 and spent the next hour and ten minutes in the company of a
rather tall man call Eric and a rather short man called Ernie. It was an extraordinary night for British
television. It was - at least as far as that catholic and capacious category known as “light
entertainment” was concerned - as close as British television had ever come, in some forty - one years
of trying, to being a genuine mass medium. None of the usual rigid divisions and omissions were
apparent in the broad audience of that remarkable night: no stark class bias, no pronounced gender
imbalance, no obvious age asymmetry, no generalized demographic slant. It was also, of course, an
extraordinary night for the two stars of the show: Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise - by far the most
illustrious, and the best - loved, double - act that British has ever produced. Exceptionally professional
yet endearingly personable, they were wonderful together as partners, as friends, as almost a distinct
entity: not “Morecambe and Wise” but “Morecambewise”. There was Eric and there was Ernie: one
of them an idiot, the other a bigger idiot, each of them half a star, together a whole star, forever hopeful
of that “brand new, bright tomorrow” that they sang about at the end of each show. True, Eric would
often slap Ernie smartly on the cheeks, but they clearly thought the world of each other, and the world
thought a great deal of them, too.
There show succeeded in attracting such a massive following on that memorable night because
it had, over the course of the previous years or so, established, and then enhanced, and enviable
reputation for consistency, inventiveness, unparalleled professional polish and, last but by no means
least, a strong and sincere respect for its audience. The Morecambe & Wise Show stood for something
greater, something far more precious, than mere first-rate but evanescent entertainment; it has come
to stand - just as persuasively and as proudly as any earnest documentary or any epic drama - for
excellence in broadcasting, the result not just of two gifted performers (great talent, alas, does not of
itself guarantee that great television) but also of a richly proficient and supremely committed
production team.
The show, culminating in the record-breaking triumph of that 1977 special represented an
achievement in high-quality popular program-making that is now fast assuming the aura of a fairy tale
- destined, one fears, to be passed on with bemused fascination from one doubtful generation to its
even more disbelieving successor as the seemingly endless proliferation of new channels and novel
forms of distraction continue to divide and disperse the old mass audience in the name of that
remorseless quest for “quality demographics” and “niche audiences”. The Morecambe & Wise Show
appeared at a time before home video, before home satellite dishes and cable technology, before the
dawning of digital revolution, a time when it was still considered desirable to make a television
program that might - just might - excite most of the people most of the time.
Neither Morecambe nor Wise ever looked down on, or up at, anyone (except, of course, each
other); both of them looked straight back at their audience, on level terms. No celebrated was ever
allowed to challenge this comic democracy: within the confines of the show, the rich and famous went
unrecognized and frequently unpaid (a running gag); venerable actors with grand theatrical reputations
were mocked routinely by Eric’s sotto voce comments; and two resolutely down-to-earth working-
class comedians gleefully reaffirmed the remarkably deep, warm and sure relationship that existed
between themselves and the British public.
“It was,” reminisced Ernic Wise, “a sort of great big office party for the whole country, a bit
of fun people could understand.” From the first few seconds of their opening comic routine to the final
few notes and motions of their closing song and dance, Morecambe and Wise did their very best to
draw people together rather than drive them apart. Instead of pandering submissively to the smug
exclusivity of the cognoscenti (they were flattered by a well-regarded critic praised the sly “oeillade”
that accompanied Eric’s sarcastic asides, but they still mocked him mercilessly for his use of the word),
and instead of settling - as so many of their supposed successors would do with unseemly haste - for
6
the easy security of a “cult following”, Morecambe and Wise always aimed to entertain the whole
nation.
When viewers watched that show at the end of 1977, they witnessed a rare and rich
compendium of the very best in popular culture: the happy summation of a joint career that had
traversed all of the key development associated with the rise of mass entertainment in Britain,
encompassing the faint but still discernible traces of Victorian music-hall, the crowded animation of
Edwardian Variety, the wordy populism of the wireless, the spectacular impact of the movies and,
finally, the more intimate pervasiveness of television. When that career was all over, it was sorely
missed. They were simply irreplaceable.

xi Transport trends in countries awaiting EU admission
European Transport Systems 1990 - 2010
What have been the trends and what are the prospects for European transport systems?
A
It is difficult to conceive of vigorous economic growth without an efficient transport system.
Although modern information technologies can reduce the demand for physical transport by
facilitating teleworking and teleservices, the requirement for transport continues to increase. There
are two key factors behind this trend. For passenger transport, the determining factor is the
spectacular growth in car use. The number of cars on European Union (EU) roads saw an increase
of three million cars each year from 1990 to 2010, and in the next decade, the EU will see a further
substantial increase in its fleet.
B
As far as goods transport is concerned, growth is due to a large extent to changes in the European
economy and its system of production. In the last 20 years, as internal frontiers have been abolished,
the EU has moved from a “stock” economy to a “flow” economy. This phenomenon has been
emphasized by the relocation of some industries, particularly those which are labor intensive, to
reduce production costs, even though the production site is hundreds or even thousands of kilometers
away from the final assembly plant or away from users.

8
C
The strong economic growth expected in countries which are candidates for entry to the EU will
also increase transport flows, in particular, road haulage traffic. In 1998, some of these countries
already exported more than twice their 1990 volumes and imported more than five times their 1990
volumes. And although many candidate countries inherited a transport system which encourages
rail, the distribution between modes has tipped sharply in favor of road transport since the 1990s.
Between 1990 and 1998，road haulage increased by 19.4%, while during the same period rail
haulage decreased by 43.5%, although - and this could benefit the enlarged EU - it is still on average
at a much higher level than in existing member states.
D
However, a new imperative-sustainable development - offers an opportunity for adapting the EU's
common transport policy. This objective, agreed by the Gothenburg European Council, has to be
achieved by integrating environmental considerations into Community policies, and shifting the
balance between modes of transport lies at the heart of its strategy. The ambitious objective can only
be fully achieved by 2020, but proposed measures are nonetheless a first essential step towards a
sustainable transport system which will ideally be in place in 30 years’ time, that is by 2040.
E
In 1998, energy consumption in the transport sector was to blame for 28% of emissions of CO2，
the leading greenhouse gas. According to the latest estimates, if nothing is done to reverse the traffic
growth trend, CO2 emissions from transport can be expected to increase by around 50% to 1,113
billion tons by 2020, compared with the 739 billion tons recorded in 1990. Once again, road transport
is the main culprit since it alone accounts for 84% of the CO2 emissions attributable to transport.
Using alternative fuels and improving energy efficiency is thus both an ecological necessity and a
technological challenge.
F
At the same time, greater efforts must be made to achieve a modal shift. Such a change cannot be
achieved overnight, all the less so after over half a century of constant deterioration in favor of road.
This has reached such a pitch that today rail freight services are facing marginalization, with just 8%
of market share, and with international goods trains struggling along at an average speed of 18km/h.
Three possible options have emerged.
G
The first approach would consist of focusing on road transport solely through pricing. This option
would not be accompanied by complementary measures in the other modes of transport. In the short
term, it might curb the growth in road transport through the better loading ratio of goods vehicles
and occupancy rates of passenger vehicles expected as a result of the increase in the price of
transport. However, the lack of measures available to revitalize other modes of transport would make
it impossible for more sustainable modes of transport to take up the baton.
H
The second approach also concentrates on road transport pricing but is accompanied by measures to
increase the efficiency of the other modes (better quality of services, logistics, technology).
However, this approach does not include investment in new infrastructure, nor does it guarantee
better regional cohesion. It could help to achieve greater uncoupling than the first approach, but road
transport would keep the lion’s share of the market and continue to concentrate on saturated arteries,
despite being the most polluting of the modes. It is therefore not enough to guarantee the necessary
shift of the balance.

9
 I
The third approach, which is not new, comprises a series of measures ranging from pricing to
revitalizing alternative modes of transport and targeting investment in the trans-European network.
This integrated approach would allow the market shares of the other modes to return to their 1998
levels and thus make a shift of balance. It is far more ambitious than it looks, bearing in mind the
historical imbalance in favor of roads for the last fifty years, but would achieve a marked break in
the link between road transport growth and economic growth, without placing restrictions on the
mobility of people and goods.
