Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the 
correct answer to each of the questions. 
 “A good book for children should simply be a good book in its own right.” These are 
the words of Mollie Hunter, a well-known author of books for youngsters. Born and 
bred near Edinburgh, Mollie has devoted her talents to writing primarily for young 
people. She firmly believes that there is always and should always be a wider audience 
for any good book whatever its main market. In Mollie’s opinion it is essential to make 
full use of language and she enjoys telling a story, which is what every writer should be 
doing. “If you aren’t telling a story, you’re a very dead writer indeed,” she says. 
With the chief function of a writer being to entertain, Mollie is indeed an entertainer. “I 
have this great love of not only the meaning of language but of the music of language,” 
she says. This love goes back to early childhood. “I’ve told stories in all my life. I had a 
school teacher who used to ask us what we would like to be when we g»ew up and, 
because my family always had dogs, and I was very good at handling them, I said I 
wanted to work with dogs, and the teacher always said “Nonsense, Mollie dear, you’ll 
be a writer.” So eventually I thought that this woman must have something, since she 
was such a good teacher - and I decided when I was nine that I would be a writer.” 
 This childhood intention is described in her novel, A Sound of Chariots, which 
although written in the third person is clearly autobiographical and gives a picture both 
of Mollie’s ambition and her struggle towards its achievement. 
 Thoughts of her childhood inevitably brought thoughts of the time when her home was 
still a village with buttercup meadows and strawberry' fields - sadly now covered with 
modern houses. “I was once taken back to see it and I felt that somebody had lain dirty 
hands all over my childhood. I’ll never go back,” she said. “Never.” “When I set once of 
my books in Scotland,” she said, “I can recapture my romantic feelings as a child 
playing in those fields, or watching the village blacksmith at work. And that’s important 
because children now know so much so early that romance can’t exist for them, as it did 
for us.” 
 To this day, Mollie has a lively affection for children, which isreflected in the love she 
has for her writing. ‘When we have visitors with children the adults always say, “If you 
go to visit Mollie, she’ll spend more time with the children.” They don’t realize that 
children are much more interesting company. I’ve heard all that the adults have to say 
before. The children have something new.’ 
41. What does Mollie Hunter feel about the nature of a good book? 
A. It should not aim at a narrow audience. 
B. It should be attractive to young readers. 
C. It should be based on original ideas. 
D. It should not include too much conversation. 
42. What do we learn about Mollie Hunter as a very young child? 
A. She didn’t expect to become a writer. B. She didn’t enjoy writing stories. 
C. She didn’t have any particular ambitions. D. She didn’t respect her teacher’s views. 
43. In comparison with children of earlier years, Mollie feels that modern children 
are...... 
A. more intelligent. B. better informed. 
C. less keen to learn. D. less interested in fiction. 
44. Mollie’s adult visitors generally discover that...... 
A. she is a very generous person. B. She is interesting company. 
C. She talks a lot about her work. D. She pays more attention to their children. 
45. What is the writer’s purpose in this text? 
A. To describe Mollie Hunter’s most successful books. 
B To share her employment of Mollie Hunter’s books. 
C. To provide information for Mollie Hunter’s existing readers. 
D. To introduce Mollie Hunter’s work to a wider audience.
