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

§1. I hated almost every day of my time at boarding school and, in any case, my first term was a disaster. I found it very difficult to settle down, and my unhappiness was made worse because I was also unhappy at home. A happy home life gives you a base from which you can go into the world with confidence. But if life at home is difficult, life away at boarding school is almost impossible.

§2. Apart from having to keep a great many rules and customs, many of which seemed to me stupid, we were never allowed to be alone. You had to be with another boy at all times. I am extremely dependent on being alone part of every day, so daily life at school was very hard to me, though the other boys managed fairly well.

§3. In the middle of the first term I developed a cough. The school nurse said it was a “stomach-cough”, whatever that may be, and gave me some pills. However, afterwards, playing football in a snowstorm, I suddenly could not breathe properly and was taken to the hospital ill with bronchitis and pneumonia. Almost at once I was put into a small room with another boy who was also very ill. He died and I nearly did. My main memory of my stay at the hospital was that the night-nurses used to get together in my room and play cards and chat. Keeping the light on and keeping me awake when I was seriously ill didn’t bother them. When I had recovered I was sent home for a few weeks and missed a term.

§4. When I returned to school, I was sent to bed early because of my illness, and so managed to get a brief period alone every day. Later on, when I went into the senior part of the school, I was allowed to go to the school library by myself, which was a great improvement.

§5. The day I left school, the headmaster said goodbye and asked whether it was a sad day for me. I replied that it was the happiest day of my life. He said I would come to think of my time at the school very differently. I said that I was sure that I would not. Though I have had unhappy days since that day, I have found that my conclusions then – that nothing afterwards could ever be so bad as boarding school – have been proved true.

A37. What was the boy’s home life like?

1. It helped him to go into life with confidence.

2. It made it even more difficult for him to settle down at boarding school.

3. It made his integration into the children’s community natural and painless.

A38. The author’s illness during the first term was …

1. so serious he nearly died.

2. caused by getting cold when playing chess.

3. not treated by the school nurse.

A39. In the hospital …

1. was afraid to bother the nurses.

2. didn’t notice whether it was night or day.

3. found the nurses’ behaviour disturbed him.

A40. What was the result of his illness?

1. He was away from school for a year.

2. He had some private time for himself.

3. He had to do his homework in bed.

A41. When the author was leaving school, the headmaster believed the author would …

1. realize how good school life had been.

2. be unhappy after he left school.

3. never give it another thought.

There’s no chance of Valerie Cook falling asleep on the job, for she is supervisor to a team of overnight word-processor operators with an international law firm in London.
