Read the following passage and answer the questions.
People often collect things. Stamps, books and records are common things they
collect, but the strangest collection I have ever seen belongs to a man who owns 1500
clocks. There are clocks in every room of his house. The living room is surrounded by
shelves which had been filled with clocks. As there is not enough room for many clocks,
the man filled several trunks and stored them in the garage. His wife complains everyday
about the work she has to do, for it's not easy to dust several hundred clocks. She
complains about the noise. Each clock keeps its own time. In her opinion, however, there
is something even more worse, than dust and noise, even with so many clocks around,
she never knows what time it is.
Answer the following questions.
1) What are the common things people would collect?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
2) What does the man's wife complain of?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
3) Does each clock keep the same time?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
A) Choose the correct answer.
4) The man puts the clocks ……..…………
(in one room - in every room - in some rooms - in more than one room )
5) The underlined word "them" refers to …………….
(rooms - shelves - trunks - clocks)
