Прочитайте текст и выберите вариант ответа (1,2 или 3), соот­ветствующий содержанию прочитанного текста.

A friend of mine was a penniless student at university in 1985 when she started to go out with a man who lived in an oil-rich eastern state. To all her friends he seemed like the possessor of boundless riches, not least because he gave her a mobile telephone so that he could contact her at any point of her day directly from his home country. Although virtually none of us had ever seen a mobile telephone before, the overriding reaction was, 'What a waste of money ringing all that way' as opposed to, 'Wow, that's brilliant'. From their earliest incarnations, these telephones have never had the capacity to thrill us in the way that other new bits of technology can. Sighs of contempt, rather than envy, would be breathed in all the first-class train carriages where mobiles started ringing in the late the mid 1990s, the mobile was no longer the preserve of image - conscious businessmen. It was at this point that I bought a mobile. I had been sneering for years, but I reasoned that as everyone now had one, surely none would be offended or irritated by mine, as long as I used it exclusively in the back of taxis or other places where I could avoid intruding on people's mental privacy. But I immediately grew to depend on it and constantly checked that I had it, in the way that habitual smokers are said to keep checking for their cigarettes. And it affected my behaviour. Without the means of ringing ahead to say I was going to be late, for example, would I have set off for my business appointment with so little time to spare? I began to understand how those inexperienced walkers come to call out the Mountain Rescue Team from the top of some perilous peak. Without the false sense of security the phone in their pocket provided, they wouldn't have gone up there in the first place. What's more, after a while, I realized that no mental commitment to the task in hand is possible when the mobile can ring at any moment with another demand for our attention, no matter how legitimate. In this way, I began to feel persecuted rather than liberated. But what has really put me off my phone is a conversation I had with a terrifyingly important man - one of the most conspicuously successful in Britain. He had been to dinner the night before with two other such figures. 'Do you know,' he said, 'they sat there taking calls all through dinner.' What a let down. In my book, importance is denoted not by a ringing mobile, but rather by the ability to build up the kind of efficient and trustworthy support team that ensures you never need to take an urgent call in public.

A41. According to the writer, how did people react when the first mobile phones were introduced in the 1980s? 1) They didn't understand why they were so expensive.

2) They all saw how useful they might be.

3) They were generally not greatly impressed by them.

A42. Why did the writer eventually decide to buy a mobile phone?

She thought that one was needed for her work. She realized they had become widely accepted. She had become envious of some of her friends using a mobile phone.

A43. What immediate change did the mobile phone make to her life?

It tended to make her less punctual. It led her into dangerous situations. It forced her to make better use of her time.

A44. Why did she eventually come to resent her mobile phone?

It allowed her employers to monitor her movements. It prevented her from concentrating on what she was doing. It allowed people to make unreasonable demands on her.

A45. The writer tells us the anecdote about the important man to show that mobile phones

are essential in modern business. may lead to a loss of business confidentiality. may lead to less efficient management.
