Part I Questions 1-10 are based on Passage 1. Passage 1 This is a short passage about Dave,the Disk Doctor. Call the Disk Doctor! 1 Desperate computer users who 'lose'the data from their disks can get in touch with experts who,for a fee,will recover the lost information.One of these experts is Dave Smith,who,some years ago,set up a company called Dave's Disk Doctor Service Ltd.Dave and a few of his friends work from home and give all the money they earn to charity.The fees are always the same,no matter how precious the data on the disk is.Some people, however,are so grateful that they send extra money to Dave or to the charities his company supports.One oil company offered him 1,000 for his help and a vet sent him a blank check. 2 It would be hard to put a value on the things rescued by the Disk Doctor.There have been disks containing medical research,television scripts,manuscripts of whole books,a comedian's joke collection,a solicitor's papers for a court case,and even Margaret Thatcher's itinerary for a visit to eastern Europe.For this last case,Dave was asked if he would go in person to Mrs.Thatcher's office 'for security reasons'! 3 Disks are usually sent to the Disk Doctor by post,but sometimes people are in such a hurry that they can't wait for the post.Radio scripts have had to be rushed by taxi to Dave's house because they were needed for broadcasting the next day,for example.When the material has been recovered,the disk is returned to the sender with a diagnosis and a prescription for avoiding the problem in future.One grateful client,an author,put a 'thank you'to Dave in the front of his book.'Dave saved me from a cardiac arrest',he wrote. 'But',says Dave,'most people don't take any notice of the doctor's advice!' Read Passage 1 and decide whether the following statements are True or False.Write T for True and F for False against the number of each of the statements on your Answer Sheet. 1.Computer users can get back their lost data from their disks without any payment in Dave's company. 2.The company named Dave's Disk Doctor Service Ltd is set up by Dave Smith. 3.Dave and his friends earn a large amount of money,and then they spend the money like water. 933
