Julie: So, I'm going to tell you about my dad's ten minutes of fame. It was when he starred on a TV quiz show a few years ago and it happened like this. The family had a small shop just round the corner from where we live, and one day my aunt was working there on her own when a TV producer just happened to walk in and ask her if she'd like to take part in this quiz show called The Big Question. That was a big show, you remember, when we were small kids. I suppose he thought she'd look good on TV, sort of photogenic. Anyway, when she was asked, she just refused to even consider it. She said she was afraid she'd get so nervous that she'd be unable to say a word when a question came to her! My elder sister, who was only 11 at the time, told her she should go because it was the chance of a lifetime, but no one could say anything that'd make her change her mind. Just by chance, at that moment, my dad walked in. Well, he saw his opportunity and offered to go on the show himself! Anyway, the producer agreed, and a couple of weeks later, my father took a hired car – because ours was very old – and he drove to the TV studios. I don't think he trusted the trains to arrive on time, but I reckon there must have been quite a chance he'd get stuck in traffic. You know what it's like round London. Well, anyway, when he got there, he suddenly realised that he'd left his tie behind, so he had to ask the producer if they'd got a spare one at the studio he could borrow. Anyway, he was told he didn't need one – or a jacket for that matter either. Oh, and I forgot to say, he didn't really study for the show – you know, by reading encyclopedias and so on. In fact, I don't think we've ever had an encyclopedia in the house, though I did suggest buying one for the occasion. I suppose he could've gone online, but as far as I know, he didn't. He told me later that the only thing he'd done was what he always did in the evening, which was read the popular press that we hadn't sold during the day and pick up lots of trivial facts.

Anyway, later, what he told me was that before the show he stood around with the other participants in somewhere called 'The Green Room', where they chatted to each other and were given something to eat and drink, and they got to know each other a bit. My dad felt a bit intimidated, I think, because the other competitors seemed very confident and looked really keen. My dad was expecting them to be doctors or lawyers or something, but in fact, although one of the women really was a university lecturer, the others were a bus driver and somebody who worked in a bank, so quite a mixture. When the show started, I think my dad felt quite lucky and very surprised to be able to answer his questions, which were all about general knowledge and nothing too specialist, because he actually managed to win.

Anyway, he did the show, which was recorded, and all of us were longing to see him in it, especially as we knew he'd won. We thought it'd be broadcast like the following week, so it'd be really up to date, but in fact it came on nearly two months later and we almost missed it because we'd almost forgotten about it by then. But it was good, because for weeks after, people were stopping my dad in the street and saying, 'Didn't I see you on the "The Big Question"?' Finally though, my dad didn't become a millionaire or come home in a sports car unfortunately, but he did win a big television with a wide screen – we've still got it at home, and it's great for the football – and a big fluffy elephant, which he gave to me. They were pretty impressive prizes for us then – well, for me, because I was still quite small. So, that was my dad's ten minutes of fame. I wonder what mine'll be.

At first, the TV producer had wanted Julia’s aunt to go on the quiz show but she didn’t.

Julie’s father went to the show in a hired car.

Julie’s father prepared for the show by reading encyclopedias.

Julie’s father competed against a high school teacher and a bus driver.

During the show, the presenter was not friendly.

SECTION C: READING — Part 3 Comprehension (1–5)

Choose A–D.

“Forget the kind of macho astronauts you are used to seeing in films. Space travel to faraway solar systems will probably be a family affair conducted by married couples and their kids,” says US anthropologist, John Moore.
“The family has the kind of natural organisation to deal with the tensions likely to characterise space trips of 200 years or longer to settle remote planets,” says Moore. “We are less likely to go crazy in space and more likely to accomplish our missions by using crews that are organised along family lines.”
“Whenever colonisation is done on Earth, it is always by people looking for a better life. All of the colonisations that I know about have been done by families, especially young couples.”
In the past, astronauts had to be specially trained and physically very fit to survive in very small space capsules, but spacecraft size is no longer a constraint, making it possible to take ordinary people such as midwives, electricians and cleaners. For a space crew that is going to colonise space and reproduce for many generations, these kinds of people will be just as important as space technologists.
Starting with a population of childless married couples also works best on board a spaceship because it will give the initial crew a few years to adjust to their new surroundings without the distraction and responsibility of caring for children. People may be horrified at the idea that children will be living and dying in space, with their only images of Earth coming from pictures and videos. But, says John Moore, parents have always made choices affecting their children’s lives.
“We change jobs, we move to another town, we emigrate to a foreign country. If we educate space kids properly, I think one day they might say, ‘Gosh, I’m sure glad I’m on this spaceship and not back on dirty old Earth.’”
“According to Moore, a starting population of 150 to 180 would best sustain itself at the same rate over six to eight generations. Every person would have the opportunity to be married - with a choice of at least ten possible spouses within three years of their age - and to be a parent.
Ideally, the group should share social and cultural values. ‘Having some people accustomed to monogamy and others to plural marriages would create some confusion when it becomes time for the sons and daughters of the first generation to marry,’ says Moore. ‘Designing morals for people on such a fantastic voyage is problematic because people on Earth would have little influence once the crew is on its own. If the space crew decides on a system of slavery for some and privilege for others, there is little the planners on Earth will be able to do to prevent it.’
Thinking about these issues is not as far-fetched as you might think. Experts predict that such a space mission will take place within the next hundred years.

Which of the following would be a good title for this passage?

What makes families especially suited to long-distance space travel?

Why will more ordinary people probably go on space flights in the future?

Which statement is TRUE?

The article suggests that long-distance space travel __________.
