· Read the following extract from an article about French bank and answer the questions.· For each question 15-20, mark one letter A, B, C or D for the answer you choose. If you are buying a property in France, whether for a permanent or a holiday home, if is important to open a French bank account. Although it is possible to exist on traveller’s cheques, Eurocheques and credit cards issued by British banks, the fees for these services can be expensive. The simplest way to pay regular bills, such as electricity, gas, or telephone, particularly when you are not in residence, is by direct debit from your French account. To open a current account, you will need to show your passport and birth certificate and to provide your address in native country. You will be issued with a cheque book within weeks of opening the account. In France it is illegal to be overdrawn. All accounts must be operated in credit. However, there are no bank charges. Note that cheques take longer to clear in France than in Britain, and can only be stopped if stolen or lost. The easiest way to transfer money from a British bank to a French one is by bank transfer: simply provide your British bank with the name, address and number of your French bank account. The procedure takes about a week and costs between £ 25 and £ 40 for each transaction, depending on your British bank. Alternatively, you can transfer money via a French bank in London. You can also send a sterling cheque (allow at least 12 days for the cheque to be cleared), Eurocheques or traveller’s cheques. Finally, it is a good idea to make a friend of your French bank manager. His help can prove invaluable. If you buy a property in France, you can save money by ______.

A. having a French bank account
B. transferring money from Britain
C. cashing traveller’s cheques or Eurocheques
D. using credit cards issued by British banks

· Read the article below about success in the business world.· Choose the best word to fill in each gap.· For each question 21-30, mark one letter A, B, C or D. According to certain beer commercials, the contemporary version of success consists in moving up to a premium brand that costs a dime or so more per bottle. Credit-card companies would have you (21) success inheres in owning their particular piece of plastic. Under the flag of success, modern-style, liberal arts colleges are withering (22) business schools are burgeoning... and yet even business schools are having an increasingly hard time finding faculty members, because teaching isn’t (23) "successful" enough. Amid a broad consensus that there is a glut of lawyers and an epidemic of strangling litigation, record numbers of young people continue to flock to law school (24) , for the individual practitioner, a law degree is still considered a safe ticket. Many, by external standards, will be "successes". Yet there is a deadening and dangerous flaw in their philosophy: It has little room, little sympathy and less respect for the noble failure, for the person who (25) past the limits, who aims gloriously high and falls unashamedly (26) . That sort of ambition doesn’t have much place in a world where success is proved by worldly reward (27) by accomplishment itself. That sort of ambition is increasingly thought of as the domain of irredeemable eccentrics, of people who haven’t quite caught on—and there is great social pressure not to be one of them. The irony is that today’s success-chasers seem obsessed with the idea of not settling. Yet in doggedly (28) the rather brittle species of success now in fashion, they are restricting themselves to a chokingly narrow swath of turf along the entire (29) of human possibilities. Does it ever (30) to them that, frequently, success is what people settle for when they can’t think of something noble enough to be worth tailing at

A. while
B. however
C. but
D. nevertheless
