My lawyer, Mr. Turner, is the only man I know who has seen a ghost. He is a quiet even-tempered man whose life is spent in dealing with facts. He is the last person in the world to give way to fantasy. He has a wife and two children of whom he is proud, takes a modest holiday abroad every year and spends his Sundays gardening. He is knowledgeable about art and architecture, though he doesn’t pretend to be an expert by any means. It is, therefore, all the more surprising that he should be so insistent about the ghost. It happened, so he says, like this: He was travelling from London to the north of England by train. It was a misty November evening and the train was half empty. In fact, for the first part of the journey Mr. Turner had the carriage to himself and sat dozing over a newspaper. However, at the first stop a passenger jumped in, slamming the door behind him. He seemed out of his breath as if he had been running. He was a striking looking young man with dark, bushy hair and bright intelligent eyes. He was dressed rather oddly in a long waistcoat with silver buttons, tight trousers 3
4. and embroidered waistcoat. Mr. Turner didn’t pay much attention to this because people wear all sorts of extravagant clothes these days and he had long grown accustomed to them. Presently, the two men got into conversation, as people do on long journeys. Mr. Turner was interested to discover that the young man was very knowledgeable about art – in particular portraits. His name, he said, was Joseph Hart, and he was on his way to visit an exhibition. It seemed that he worked in a famous London Art Gallery – a picture restorer, perhaps, thought Mr. Turner, he seemed to know a great deal about varnishes and paints, and even more about the subjects of certain portraits. When Mr. Turner asked his opinion of the portrait of a famous judge by an artist he admired, his companion laughed and said: “He’s only a reproduction – a good one I agree but you can’t talk to a reproduction”. He spoke as though the person in the portrait were still living. After a while the carriage got hot and steamy and Mr. Turner dropped off. He woke up just as the train was drawing up at a junction with a grinding of brakes. His companion had disappeared. A few days later, having returned to London, Mr. Turner found himself near the Art Gallery. Moved by some impulse, he went in and inquired for Joseph Hart. The attendant directed him to a room devoted to early nineteenth century portraits of well-known men. There was no one in the room and Mr. Turner looked around him. Without knowing quite how he had got there, he found himself standing in front of a full-length portrait of a young dark man in tight trousers and an embroidered waistcoat. The eyes smiled at him with a hint of amusement. The name-plate at the foot of the picture read: Joseph Hart, Gentleman, 1800-1835. 1. What kind of person was Mr. Turner? A. Imaginative B. Fantastic C. Sensible D. Insensitive 2. Although he was a lawyer, Mr. Turner_________. A. pretended to know a lot about art. B. knew something about art C. pretended to take interest in art. D. intended to learn more about art. 3. When the passenger entered Mr. Turner’s department, ________. A. he was panting B. he was running C. the train was just training D. the carriage was half-empty. 4. The passenger’s clothes didn’t seem strange to Mr. Turner because ________. A. he was used to wearing strange clothes. B. he liked people who wore strange clothes C. everyone he knew wore strange clothes. D. he had seen a lot of people in strange clothes 5. Mr. Turner thought the young man might _______. A. be an art dealer B. be an art expert C. renew old pictures D. paint reproductions of old pictures 6. Why wouldn’t the young man give an opinion on the portrait of the judge? A. The judge wasn’t alive. B. The judge was still alive. C. The picture was a copy. D. He hadn’t seen it. 7. When did Mr. Turner first realize that the passenger had gone? A. When the train started. B. After the train had stopped. C. Just before the train stopped. D. When the train was leaving the station. 8. Why did Mr. Turner go into the Art Gallery? A. He was walking past there. B. He had never been there before. C. He has planned to do so D. He suddenly decided to. 9. In the part of the Gallery that Mr. Turner was directed to, ________. A. there were a lot of pictures of unknown people B. there were a lot of nineteenth century people C. no one else was looking at the pictures D. he only saw one portrait. 10.
