Matching
Read the following text:
What is the best way to take your revenge on a man who has ignored, cheated or left you? It depends, of
course, on who you are. If the man in question is a politician, you just write a revealing book about him and
ruin his career; but that’s too easy! What if your man is one of the many whose secret life interests no one?
And you must admit that this is the case of the majority!
Unless you are an actor, a judge, a director, a writer, a murderer or a bank-robber, a book about your private
life is about as marketable as a do-it-yourself kit of a rocket to the moon! So what do you do? Well, there
are the old clichés like smashing up his car, telling his boss what he says about him behind his back, inviting
your mother to stay for six months – circumstances permitting, of course- tearing the collars off all of his
shirts and many, many more…
The problem with this is that they all half expect it to happen. In fact, they half want it to happen, because it is
an amusing story to tell their friends. But if you really want revenge, you can surely do better than that!
Take the example of Wendy who was ditched by her boyfriend, who then left London for a month’s holiday.
She still had the key to his flat, so she went in and telephoned the speaking clock….in New York. Then she
simply left the phone off the hook _ for a month!
Or you could gain access to his computer and clear the memory; I can imagine that that would annoy him a
great deal! However, if you do decide to indulge in the sweet taste of vengeance, beware, because the after –
taste may turn bitter when he decides to take revenge on you…..”
Decide whether the following statements are true (T) or false (F) :
a. true
b. false
__T__ 124. If a man is a politician, it is easy to get revenge on him.
__T__ 125. If you are a famous actor, a book about your private life will not sell very well.
__F__ 126. He likes wearing collarless shirts
__F__ 127. He will be extremely happy when she crashes his car
__T__ 128. Wendy’s boyfriend walked out on her before he left London for a month
__T__ 129. Vengeance is sweet.
__T__ 130. She must be careful that he does not get his own back.
