Reading 

4. Read the three texts. For each text, choose the correct answer (a, b or c). 

Best TV moments

The highlight of last night's television was the first episode of the reality show Secret Millionaire. The idea behind the show is for a millionaire to take on a new identity and go into poor areas of their city to find three charities to give some of their money to. They spend a week working with the organisations, revealing their true identity at the end of the programme. At this point, they give each of the charities a cheque for tens of thousands of pounds. Last night's show had more drama than usual - you'll have to watch to find out why - but finished with millionaire music producer David King donating £50,000 to the charities he had worked with. 

1 The author of the text wants to 

1. give advice to millionaires on what to do with their money.

2. give an opinion on a TV programme. 

3. explain how reality shows can be good for society. 

What’s in a sofa?

When three students bought a sofa from a charity shop, they got more than they paid for. When they brought the sofa home, they discovered an envelope full of 20noteshiddenunderthecushions.Theycontinuedtolookandfoundmoreenvelopes!Bythetimetheyfinished,theyhadover20noteshiddenunderthecushions.Theycontinuedtolookandfoundmoreenvelopes!Bythetimetheyfinished,theyhadover40,000. At first, the students began to talk about what they would do with the money. One said he would buy his mum a new car. But when they found a woman's name on one of the envelopes, they knew that they had to give it back. They called the woman who was so delighted to hear from them that she gave them $1,000 for returning her money. 

2 What was the students' first idea when they realised they had $40,000? 

1. To split up the money and spend it 

2. To find the person who it belonged to

3. To call the charity shop about the sofa
