Para 1
That night as Easton walked home through the rain he felt very depressed. It had been a very bad
summer for most people and he had not fared better than the rest. A few weeks with one firm, a few days
with another, then out of a job, then on again for a month perhaps, and so on.
Para 2
William Easton was a man of medium height, about 23 years old, with fair hair and moustache and
blue eyes. His clothes, though shabby, were clean and neat but the holes in his shoes made it painful to
walk.
Para 3
He was married: his wife was a young woman whose acquaintance he had made when he happened
to be employed with others painting the outside of the house where she was a general servant. Easton
had been in no hurry to marry for he knew that, taking good times with bad, his wages did not average a
pound a week. However, after going out for 18 months they were finally married.
Para 4
That was a year ago.
Para 5
As a single man he had never troubled much if he happened to be out of work. He always had
enough to live on and pocket money besides, but now that he was married it was different; the fear of
being ‘out’ haunted him all the time.
Para 6
He had started for Rushton and Co. on the previous Monday after having been idle for three weeks
and, as the house where he was working hard to be done right through, he had congratulated himself on
having secured a job that would last till Christmas; but he now began to fear that what had happened to
Jack Linden – a very master craftsman – might also happen to himself at any time. He would have to be
very careful not to offend Bill Crass in any way. He was afraid that the latter did not like him very much
as it was. He knew that Crass would get him the sack at any time and would not scruple to do so if he
wanted to make room for some pal of his.
Para 7
Crass, the foreman, was quite without special abilities; he was if anything inferior to the majority of
the men he supervised. Even so, he pretended to know everything, and the vague references he was in
the habit of making to ‘tones’ and ‘shades’ and ‘harmony’ had so impressed Frederick Hunter that the
latter was completely taken in. It was by pushing himself forward in this way that Crass had managed to
get himself put in charge of the work.
Para 8
Although Crass did as little as possible himself, he took care to work the others hard. Any man who
failed to satisfy him was reported to Hunter as being ‘no good’ or ‘too slow for a funeral’ and was then
dispensed with at the end of the week. Knowing this, all the workers feared and hated the wily Crass.
Para 9
Some, by giving him pinefuls of tobacco and pints of beer, managed to stay in Crass’s favour and
often kept their job when better men were dismissed.
Para 10
As he walked home through the rain thinking of these things, Easton realized that it was not
possible to foresee what a day or even an hour might bring.

1. As he walked home, Easton felt depressed because__________.

A. it had been a bad summer for most people, including him
B. he was afraid of losing his job
C. he had recently got married, despite his low wages
D. his shoes were worn out and his feet were hurting
2. The fifth paragraph mentions Eason’s feeling of being ‘out’. This is a fear of________.
A. being unemployed C. having no where to live
B. not having any money D. falling out with his wife
3. Which word can best replace the word idle (paragraph 6)?
A. lazy B. unemployed C. useless D. playing
4. The most senior person mentioned in the paragraph is___________.
A. Jack Linden B. Frederick Hunter C. Bill Crass D. William Easton
5. Which of the following word has closest meaning to taken in (paragraph 7)?
A. deceived B. absorbed C. persuaded D. influenced
6. Crass got his position because Hunter thought he was good at_________.
A. using language C. understanding color schemes
B. managing other people D. repairing or decorating houses
7. To keep his job, anyone working under Crass had to___________.
A. work hard C. take care not to offend him.
B. give him presents D. make room for his ‘pals’ (friends)
8. Crass was__________.
A. a skilful worker but lazy C. not very skilful and also lazy
B. not very skilful but hard working D. a skilful man and a hard worker
9. What does the word dispensed with (paragraph 8) mean?
A. punished B. bullied C. sent away D. sacked
10. A good title for the passage would be__________.
A. Foreman Crass C. Too Slow for a Funeral
B. An Uncertain Future D. A Miserable Walk
