§1. SomewherearoundFebruaryitbegins. The drizzle is coming down outside and the kids are bored on a Saturday afternoon. It's usually then that my husband decides it is time to plan our summer holiday. Out come the brochures and the discussion begins.
§2. It's not that we're an argumentative family, but it seems that where we are to spend two weeks in the summer relaxing brings out the worst in us. Before too long, we're all insisting on places and refusing others, the volume steadily increasing. My daughter discovers a lifelong ambition to go to India. Funny how she never mentioned it before. My son isn't going anywhere unless he can bring his dog and my husband doesn't mind where he goes as long as it's within five miles of a golf course.
§3. As usual, it's left to someone, and guess who, to find somewhere that everybody is willing to accept (the dog goes to the neighbours, though). This can take some weeks of persuading, reminding and convincing on my part, but usually there's a solution. Then it's time to plan the packing. It seems that everybody else believes that it can be done half an hour before we leave for the airport. My husband lays out things he wants to take and I put them back when he's not looking and get out the real holiday clothes. My daughter wants to take everything she owns. Each item she has to put back is the subject of another argument.
§4. Finally the day arrives and we get to the airport in plenty of time. This happens because I start to shout five hours earlier that we are going in five minutes, ready or not. Once at the airport, we check in. It sounds simple enough, but the thing is that airports are full of people running around who don't know where to go. Not surprising since we only do it once a year and we've forgotten where we went last time. We finally find the right desk, get rid of the bags and go through to the departure lounge.
§5. Somewhere around here I can finally think about relaxing. Not for ine the cold sweats, shaking, and nervous wondering about the plane. Everything is somebody else's problem. If there's something wrong with the plane, the pilot can worry about it. If a passenger has a heart attack, the stewards can worry about it.
§6. And so begin two weeks of relaxation. I learned long ago that the only way to do it is to stop being called 'Mum'. For those two weeks, whenever I hear the word I look around as if it refers to someone else. I ignore any question that begins with 'Where's my ...'. The funny thing is that they always find it anyway. The only thing I worry about is which book I'm going to take to the pool. My husband follows a ball around a course, my kids do whatever kids do these days and I become myself again for a short while.
А36. The writer thinks her daughter's ambition to go to India is

1) her son refuses to go with them.
2) the others try to make her agree.
3) she gets the others to agree.
A38. Why does the writer put back the clothes her husband chooses?
1) She doesn't like what he wears.
2) He forgets to choose things for her.
3) The clothes aren't suitable.
A39. The writer thinks she is different from some other people because she
1) finds flying an enjoyable experience.
2) understands what pilots face.
3) doesn't care about other passengers.

Sheila Whiteley is Britain's first Professor of Popular Music at the Open University. (A43) ... Although she is now in her sixties, Professor
Whiteley, like many women of her generation, had a short career before getting married and having children. (A44) ...
She completed a degree as well as qualifying as a teacher. At that time, at the beginning of the eighties, a number of university lecturers were developing the academic study of popular culture, including film, TV, radio and music.
(A45) ... The course combined art, music and politics and Sheila Whiteley became a tutor on the OU course.
Today, Sheila Whiteley says that popular music is sexist. 'In the music industry, the women holding top positions are few. If you go into a recording studio, it is a strongly male environment. The same is true of the lead guitar players in most pop and rock groups. In a recent list of the 100 best guitarists of all time published by a music magazine, only three were women. Boys get together and learn how to play at around 12 or 13. (A46) ... While boys grow up wanting to be famous footballers or rock stars, girls want to marry footballers and jock stars.'
(A47) ... Now, however, when she listens to the latest bands she discusses hip-hop, rap, techno, ragga and reggae with young would-be rock musicians who are studying on the Popular Music course.
(A48) ... 'Because the study of popular music is so new there is a freedom which other academic subjects don't have,' she says.
