Text I
Of Studies
Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability. Their chief use for delight is in privateness and retiring; for ornament, is in discourse; and for ability, is in the judgment and disposition of business. For expert men can execute, and perhaps judge of particulars, one by one; but the general counsels, and the plots and marshalling of affairs, come best from those that are learned. To spend too much time in studies is sloth, to use them too much for ornament, is affectation; to make judgment wholly by their rules, is the humor of a scholar. They perfect nature, and are perfected by experience: for natural abilities are like natural plants, that need proyning by study; and studies themselves do give forth directions too much at large, except they be bounded in by experience Crafty men contemn studies, simple men admire them, and wise men use them; for they teach not their own use; but that is a wisdom without them, and above them, won by observation Read not to contradict and confute; nor to believe and take for granted; nor to find talk and discourse; but to weigh and consider. …

Text 2
The dealers did not glance at one another nor at the pearl. The man behind the desk said, ‘I have put a value on this pearl. The owner here does not think it fair. I will ask you to examine this-this thing and make an offer. Notice,' he said to Kino, ‘I have not mentioned what I have offered.’
The first dealer, dry and stringy, seemed now to see the pearl for the first time. He took it up, rolled it quickly between thumb and forefinger, and then cast it contemptuously back into the tray.
‘Do not include me in this discussion,’ he said dryly. ‘I will make no offer at all. I do not want it. This is not a pearl - it is a monstrosity.' His thin lips curled.
Now the second dealer, a little man with a shy soft voice, took up the pearl. and he examined it carefully. He took a glass from his pocket and inspected it under magnification. Then he laughed softly.
‘Better pearls are made of paste,’ he said. ‘I know these things. This is soft and chalky, it will lose its color and die in a few months. Look -.' He offered the glass to Kino, showed him how to use it, and Kino, who had never seen a pearl' s surface magnified, was shocked at the strange-looking surface
The third dealer took the pearl from Kino's hands. ‘One of my clients likes such things,’ he said. ‘I will offer five hundred pesos, and perhaps I can sell it to my client for six hundred.’
Kino reached quickly and snatched the pearl from his hand. He wrapped it in the deerskin and thrust it inside his shirt.
The man behind the desk said, 'I'm a fool, I know, but my first offer stands. I still offer a thousand. What are you doing?' he asked, as Kino thrust the pearl out of sight.
‘I am cheated,’ Kino cried fiercely. ‘My pearl is not for sale here. I will go, perhaps even to the capital.'
Now the dealers glanced quickly at one another. They knew they had played too hard; they knew they would be disciplined for their failure, and the man at the desk said quickly,' I might go to fifteen hundred.'
But Kino was pushing his way through the crowd. The hum of talk came to him dimly, his rage blood pounded in his ears, and he burst through and strode away. Juana followed, trotting after him.

Read the extract and give brief answers to the questions 26-29 that follow.
Please note: This reading task will be relevant to the writing task in Part Ⅲ.
Thief
He is waiting at the airline ticket counter when he first notices the young woman. She has glossy black hair pulled tightly into a knot at the back of her head-the man imagines it loosed and cascading to the small of her back-and carries over the shoulder of her leather coat a heavy black purse. She wears black boots of soft leather. He struggles to see her face-she is ahead of him in line-but it is not until she has bought her ticket and turns to walk away that he realizes her beauty, which is pale and dark-eyed and full-mouthed, and which quickens his heartbeat. She seems aware that he is staring at her and lowers her gaze abruptly.
The airline clerk interrupts. The man gives up looking at the woman-he thinks she may be about twenty-five-and buys a round trip, coach class ticket to an eastern city.
His flight leaves in an hour. To kill time, the man steps into one of the airport cocktail bars and orders a scotch and water. While he sips it he watches the flow of travelers through the terminal-including a remarkable number, he thinks, of unattached pretty women dressed in fashion magazine clothes-until he catches sight of the black-haired girl in the leather coat. She is standing near a Travelers Aid counter, deep in conversation with a second girl. A blonde in a cloth coat trimmed with gray fur. He wants somehow to attract the brunette's attention, to invite her to have a drink with him before her own flight leaves for wherever she is traveling, but even though he believes for a moment she is looking his way he cannot catch her eye from out of the shadows of the bar. In another instant the two women separate; neither of their directions is toward him. He orders a second scotch and water.
When next he sees her, he is buying a magazine to read during the flight and becomes aware that someone is jostling him. At first he is startled that anyone would be so close as to touch him, but when he sees who it is he musters a smile.
‘Busy place,’ he says.
She looks up at him-ls she blushing? -and an odd grimace across her mouth and vanishes. She moves away from him and joins the crowds in the terminal.
The man is at the counter with his magazine, but when he reaches into his back pocket for his wallet the pocket is empty. When could I have lost it? he thinks. His mind begins enumerating the credit cards, the currency. The membership and identification cards; his stomach churns with something very like fear. The girl who was so near to me, he thinks-and all at once he understands that she has picked his pocket.
What is he to do? He still has his ticket, safely tucked inside his suitcoat-he reaches into the jacket to feel the envelope, to make sure. He can take the flight, call someone to pick him up at his destination-since he cannot even afford the bus fare-conduct his business and fly home. But in the meantime he will have to do something about the lost credit cards-call home, have his wife get the numbers out of the top desk drawer, phone the card companies-so difficult a process, the whole thing suffocating. What should he do?
First: Find a policeman. Tell what has happened, describe the young woman; damn her, he thinks, for seeming to be attentive to him, to let herself stand so close to him, blush prettily when he spoke-and all the time she wanted only to steal from him. And her blush was not shyness but the anxiety of being caught; that was most disturbing of all. Damned deceitful creatures. He will spare the policeman the details-just tell what she has done, what is in the wallet. He grits his teeth. He will probably never see his wallet again.
He is trying to decide if he should save time by talking to a guard near the x-ray machine when he is appalled-and elated-to see the black-haired girl. (Ebony - Tressed Thief, the newspapers will say.) She is seated against a front window of the terminal, taxis and private cars moving sluggishly beyond her in the gathering darkness; she seems engrossed in a book. A seat beside her is empty, and the man occupies it.
‘I’ve been looking for you,’ he says.
She glances at him with no sort of recognition. ‘I don't know you.' she says.
‘Sure you do.’
She sighs and puts the book aside, ‘Is this all you characters think about-picking up girls like we were stray animals? What do you think I am?'
‘You lifted my wallet, ' he says. He is pleased to have said 'lifted, ' thinking it sounds more worldly than stole or took or even ripped off.
‘I beg your pardon?' the girl says.
‘I know you did-at the magazine counter. If you'll just give it back, we can forget the whole thing. If you don't, then I'II hand you over to the police.
She studies him, her face serious. ‘An right,' she says. She pulls the black bag onto
her lap, reaches into it and draws out a wallet.
He takes it from her. ‘Wait a minute, ' he says. ‘This isn’t mine.’
The girl runs; he bolts after her. It is like a scene in a movie-bystanders scattering, the girl zigzagging to avoid collisions, the sound of his own breathing reminding him how old he is-until he hears a woman's voice behind him.
‘Stop, thief! Stop that man! '
The wallet is a woman's, fat with money and credit cards from places like Sack's and Peck & Peck and Lord & Taylor, and it belongs to the blonde in the fur-trimmed coat-the blonde he has earlier seen in conversation with the criminal brunette. She, too, is breathless, as is the policeman with her.
‘That's him,' the blonde girl says. ‘He lifted my billfold.'
It occurs to the man that he cannot even prove his own identity to the policeman.
Two weeks later-the embarrassment and rage have diminished, the family lawyer has been paid, the confusion in his household has receded-the wallet turns up without explanation in one morning's mail. It is intact, no money is missing, all the cards are in place. Though he is relieved, the man thinks that for the rest of his life he will feel guilty around policemen, and ashamed in the presence of women.
