Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
I first met my friend Max Westlake two years ago when he knocked on my door. “Hello”, he said warmly. “My name is Max, and I've just moved in next door, so I'm your new neighbour.”
He's a handsome, well-dressed young man in his early twenties. Max is quite tall and slim, with hazel eyes and carefully-styled light brown hair. He likes wearing expensive clothes such as leather jackets and silk scarves.
He has a great sense of humour, and I love to listen to his amusing stories. What's more, he is a very kind-hearted person who is always ready to help a friend in need. On the other hand, though, he can seem arrogant and conceited sometimes because he likes to be the centre of attention.
He enjoys dangerous sports such as bungee jumping and hang gliding. He's a great dancer, too and he often goes to clubs and discos.
All in all, life is never dull when Max is around. Who wouldn't be happy to have him for a friend and neighbour?
