I.Reading Comprehension – 25 points
Read the text and choose the best answer for the questions:
Ainsley Harriott
I've always been a bit of an entertainer and played the funny man. I was a
part-time comedian for years, so I learned how to stand in front of audiences.
It made me sure of myself. I like being liked and I love making everyone
smile.
I've lived in London all my life and have just moved to a larger house with
my wife Clare and our two children, Jimmy and Madeleine. We spend a lot
of time just singing and dancing around the house. I grew up with music
because my dad is the pianist, Chester Harriott - who's still playing, by the
way. My working day is divided between television and writing cook books,
though TV takes most of my time. I spend about five days a fortnight
working on the cooking programmes I appear in. I eat all sorts of things at
home but I only buy quality food. When I'm cooking, I experiment with
whatever is in the fridge -- it's good practice for my TV series.
I'm a football fan and enjoy going to matches, but I'm a home-loving person
really. I don't like going to the pub but we do go out to eat about twice a
month. There's nothing better than a night at home playing with the children.
I rarely go to bed before midnight. Late evening is when fresh thoughts on
cooking usually come to me, so I often write or plan my programmes then.
When I eventually get to bed, I have no trouble sleeping.
