TEST 19

1.Прочитайте текст и ответьте на следующие за ним вопросы, выбрав единственно правильный вариант ответа.

People who work in offices are frequently referred to as "White collar workers" for the simple reason that they usu­ally wear a collar and tie to go to work. A great many peo­ple are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman. When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. Every morning, he left home dressed in a fine black suit. He then changed into overalls and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf's wife never discovered that she had married a dustman. Alf has now found another job. He will soon be working in an office as a junior clerk. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well' worth the loss of money.
