THE HUMAN SCARECROW
Being told to bring a deckchair and a good book for the first day in a new job might not be the kind of advice you’d expect to receive from your new boss, but that’s exactly the advice Jamie Fox was given when he took up a post to help out a local farmer.
 	Fox, twenty-two, a music graduate from Bangor University, uses a range of musical instruments to scare off partridges that have been destroying crops because ordinary scarecrows don’t quite seem up to the job. Despite working from 7.30 a.m. to 4.00 p.m. for a minimum wage, Fox, who is saving up to finance a trip to New Zealand, is quite content with his unique position. Indeed, he’d much rather be out in the open air reading and playing instruments, he says, and time passes much quicker than sitting at home doing nothing and claiming unemployment benefit.
 	Fox can do anything he likes to pass the time. As well as playing musical instruments and reading to relieve the monotony, other perks of the job include doing Sudoku puzzles, observing the wildlife and daydreaming. He does, however, need to get out of the comfort of his chair occasionally to scare the partridges off the fields. And although the work is far from lucrative, some of Jamie’s friends, including those with more generously paid jobs, are reportedly envious of his position and the fact that he spends the best part of the day doing largely as he pleases.
 	His employer, farmer William Youngs, claims that he was forced to take someone on as a human scarecrow after the partridges didn’t respond to more traditional methods of frightening them away. Since losing thirty acres worth of crops to the birds at a cost of thousands of pounds, Youngs has tried a variety of approaches to protect his livelihood. Now, however, he is happy with the solution and claims that Jamie’s presence in the fields is proving very effective and making a real difference.

¯ Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 38 to Question 44.
 	Entrepreneurial schoolboy Tommie Rose, made £14,000 towards his university fees by selling sweets from a 'black market' tuck shop at his school. Tommie, fifteen, bought chocolate, crisps and fizzy drinks in bulk from discount stores and sold them to fellow pupils at a competitive mark-up. For three years, he saved his £60 to £70 daily earnings towards the £9,000-a-year tuition fees for university, and has his eye on studying business at Oxford or Cambridge.
 	However, teachers at Buile Hill High School in Salford, Greater Manchester, threatened to suspend the teenager from school if he didn't shut down the unofficial tuck shop. Tommie, who lives in Salford, was suspended from his previous school for ten days for running a similar business, which he said was inspired by television shows such as Dragons' Den and The Apprentice.
 His parents, Gary, thirty-three, an office worker, and Tracy, also thirty-three, a gym manager, said they would struggle to support their son through university on their own. 'He's a typical teenage boy who saw what he wanted and worked hard for it,' said Mr Rose. 'He realised that if you want to get ahead in business and in life, you have to start at a young age. I could only dream of making that sort of money at his age.'
 	 James Inman, the head teacher at Buile Hill School, said, 'We admire this pupil's entrepreneurship, but school is not the place to set up a black market for junk food. We have extremely high standards and with our healthy-eating policy, we do not allow fizzy drinks or large amounts of sweets.'
 	Faced with the threat of suspension, Tommie has decided to close his tuck shop business for now and donate the remaining snacks and drinks to the homeless in Manchester. However, aware of the advantages of working as he studies, Tommie plans to continue earning money and gaining valuable experience. The young entrepreneur is meeting his head teacher with a business plan for a healthy tuck shop, and has found himself back in the news again as he attempts to sell a signed bottle of a well-known energy drink online to the highest bidder. He also has plans for a new business involving T-shirts and has been offered work experience at a recruitment firm in Manchester. Tommie said, 'I have had a few other job offers since the story appeared in the media. I just love the world of business.'
Question 41. Buile Hill School's reaction has prompted Tommie to________
A. give up his attempts to make money.
B. start an Internet-based business selling snacks.
C. redesign his tuck shop business.
D. leave school to experience working for a local business.

A. how young people's attitudes to work have changed.
B. why earning independently is important for young people.
C. the negative impacts of working while still studying at school.
D. how young people can benefit from working while still at school.
Question 43. Tommie set up his business________
A. to prove what a good businessman he is.
B. because his school didn't provide a quality service.
C. so that he would be accepted at Oxford or Cambridge universities.
D. so that he would be able to afford the fees at a top university.
Question 44. The word “recruitment” is synonymous with________
A. recovering business 	B. finding new members
