    Mr Adamson enjoys playing the violin in his leisure1 time. He is often carried away by his music. But it is a terrible time for his neighbours when Mr Adamson plays as he does so badly.

   One day Mr Adamson sat by a window and began te play the violin as usual. Mr Adamson seems to be making noises instead of music. However, Mr Adamson was absorbed. Just then, some stones were thrown out of the window under which Mr Adamson was sitting, but he did not pay attention to it. The "music" continued. After a little while, an empty bottle and a worn-out shoe were thrown out of the window too. Mr Adamson knew that this was not the place for him. The neighbours did not like his "music ". Mr Adamson was very sad. He was badly hurt. "Perhaps no living people can understand my music.I should go to a place where people may appreciate my works2. " So he decided3 to go to a graveyard5

    He came to a graveyard where there was no other sound except the church tolled6. The yard was a Heaven where dead people rest. Mr Adamson sat at a grave4's and thought a lot, "I must do my best to show that my music is outstanding. " He was inspired and began to play his violin. Suddenly a bare foot stretched out from the grave and gave Mr Adamson a kick which sent him flying. His treasured violin also dropped from his hand. Mr Adamson felt very sad because his works was not accepted by anyone , not even the dead.

Question on Text B 

7. Read the following passage once. Underline the key words while reading and retell the story to your partner. 

    An Englishman8, a Scotsman and an Irishman each owed a friend of theirs a pound. The man died. They agreed that their debts were debts of honour and must be paid, and that each one should go to the dead man's house, leave a pound and ask that it should be buried with him, as he had no relatives. The Englishman went and left a pound; so did the Irishman. The Scotsman went to the house, took the two pounds, wrote a cheque for three pounds and asked that it should be buried with the dead man.

    But the undertaker (the man who arranges funerals) was a Welshman. He found the cheque, cashed it and kept the money.
