Semester I

I.Read the text below. For questions (1-8) decide if the answer is true or false.

THE MILLIONAIRE WITH A SECRET

(Jeff Pearce was a successful businessman – but he had a secret: he couldn’t read or write)

His name is not really Jeff. His mother changed it because he could never spell his real name, James, and she thought Jeff was easier.

Pearce was born in Liverpool in the 1950s, in a very poor family. At school, all the teachers thought he was stupid because he couldn't learn to read or write - at that time, not many people knew about dyslexia. But there was something that he was good at: selling things. Pearce's first experience as a salesman was when he was a boy, and he and his mother used to go door-to-door asking for old clothes that they could sell in the market. He instinctively knew what people wanted, and it soon seemed that he could make money from anything. His mother always believed in him and told him that one day he would be successful and famous.

In 1983, when he already owned a small boutique, he decided to invest £750 in leather trousers, and to sell them very cheaply in his shop. “It was a bit of a gamble, to tell you the truth,” he says. But Liverpool loved it, and there were photos of shoppers sleeping in the street outside his boutique on the front page of the local newspaper. The first day the trousers went on sale, the shop took £25,000. Jeff became a millionaire, but later he lost most of his money in the recession of the Nineties. He was almost 40, and he was broke again. He even had to go back to selling clothes in the market. But he never gave up, and soon he set up a new business, a department store, called Jeff’s, which again made him a millionaire.

However, success didn't mean anything to Jeff because he still couldn't read or write. Even his two daughters did not realize that their father couldn't read. When one of them asked him to read her a bedtime story he went downstairs and cried because he felt so ashamed. At work he calculated figures in his head, while his wife Gina wrote all the cheques and read contracts.

In 1992 Pearce was awarded a Businessman of the Year prize for the best clothes store in Liverpool. It was at this momentthat he told his friends and colleagues the truth,and decided to write a book about his experience. But first he had to learn to read and write. He went to evening classes, and employed a private teacher, but he found it very difficult because of his dyslexia. Finally, with the help of a ghost-writer*, his autobiography, A Pocketful of Holes and Dreams, was published, and became a best-seller. Recently,he was woken in the middle of the night by someone knocking on his front door. It was his daughter to whom he hadn't been able to read a bedtime story all those years earlier. She had come to tell him that she had just read his book. “Dad, I'm so proud of you,” she said - and burst into tears in his arms.
