Reading Comprehension: 30%Passage OneAt sixteen Ron Mackie might have stayed at school, but the future called to him excitedly. “Get out of the classroom into a job,” it said, and Ron obeyed his father, suppor ting the decision, and found a place for him in a supermarket. “Y ou …re lucky, Ron” he said. “For every boy with a job these days, there‟s a dozen without.” So Ron joined the working world at twenty pounds a week.For a year he spent his days filling shelves with tins of food.

Before he finished his sandwich , the woman had taken him on for the rest of the summer, at twenty pounds a week, a room upstairs and three meals a day.
