Passage One
My parents ran a small restaurant. The restaurant was open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. And my first job when I was six years old was shining shoes for customers. My duties increased as I grew older. By age ten I was clearing tables and washing plates. My father made it clear that I had to meet certain standards. I had to be on time, hard-working and polite to the customers. I was never paid for any work I did. One day I made a mistake of telling Dad I thought he should give me 10 pounds a week. He said, "Ok, then how about you paying me for the three meals a day when you eat here and for the times you bring in your friends for free drinks." He figured I owed him about 40 pounds a week. This taught me quite a lot.

Passage Two
Cambridge is about 90 kilometres northeast of London. It is one of most beautiful places in Britain. Everything about the city of Cambridge reminds you of its famous university: student on bicycles, an atmosphere of learning, traditions and the magnificent buildings of the 30 colleges that are in the University of Cambridge. Most of the colleges stand on the bank of the Cam River a gentle river that flows through the heart of the city. Tourists and students like boating in a kind of flatbottom boat to see the colleges or to relax themselves. If the water traffic reminds the visitor of Venice, the road traffic is more likely to recall Beijing or Amsterdam. The streets are full of bicycles, hundreds and hundreds of them.
