Paper 1
Reading Comprehension
Celebs used to be teens too. Read the texts and then answer the questions below them. Put the letter (A, B, C, D, E) near the question.
A. Julia Roberts:
“I grew up a nice Catholic girl in a small southern town in Georgia. At Campbell High, I liked to run around and laugh and have fun. I wanted to be a vet, because we had lots of animals at home.
I wasn’t the most popular girl, though I had many friends and dated quite a bit. The guys I liked best were athletes.
I wasn’t a dazzling beauty, but I did make a finalist in our school’s beauty contest, which was a big thrill.
I also felt restless. Three days after graduation I moved to New York to learn how to act.”
B. Tom Cruise:
“I’d never want to go back to high school. Not in a million years! When I was sixteen, my mother remarried and we lived in New Jersey. I worked in an ice-cream store and dated in a an old beat-up car I bought for fifty dollars. I never planned to go to college because I was an average student and we didn’t have a lot of money. I hated peer pressure and not being invited to parties. And I was never part of a clique.”
C. Sharon Stone:
“I was an ugly duckling, a tall, skinny kid who wore thick glasses and had no sense of myself as a female. When I was fourteen one boy said he’d teach me to kiss and he did. He sure taught me!
I was immature and naïve, but I was always a great student. And I skipped ahead in school. When I was fifteen and in eleventh grade, I was going to high school half a day and a nearby college the other half. So I felt like an alien.”
D. Richard Gere:
“I wanted to be a biker. I had images in my head of punks, motorcycles, leather jackets, knives, violence. The whole James Dean-Marlon Brando bit. Maybe because that was so different from my real life. Ours was a normal, middle-class suburban family with five kids. We were Methodists, so there was a lot of singing in church. And we were all musical. I was really into piano, guitar, banjo. And drums.
To earn spending money, I played trumpet in a dance band at weddings and bars. At school, I usually performed too. But I was rebellious, everybody’s bad boy. And I was a terrible student. I didn’t go to classes, just read a lot. I was very much a dreamer.”
E. Demi Moore:
“My school years are just a blur. My father, a newspaper adman, dragged the family from one town to another. Before I was fifteen, I’d never attended the same school for more than six months. When you change schools a lot, you don’t really grow up with a strong sense of yourself. Wow, I mean I didn’t have any idea who I was or what I liked. At one school I was popular, at another I wasn’t. My last school was Fairfax High, in Los Angeles, after my mother divorced my father. That one, like the others, was a washout for me. At sixteen, I dropped out.”
1. Who had high academic results at school?_______
2. Who was fascinated by music in high school?_______
3. Who was known to be independent and self-confident as a student?_______
4. Whose school life was uncertain and vague?______
