Top Store Fires Santa for Telling a Joke (10th December, 2010)
(adapted from Breaking News English)
A top New York department store has fired its Santa Claus after two customers did not
like ______________________ (1) jokes. John Toomey, 68, had worked as Macy‟s

Macy's has refused to______________________(7) on the incident, calling it a simple

A,B,C,D,-tylko jedna jest poprawna.
I shifted uncomfortably inside my best suit and eased a finger inside the tight white collar. It was hot in
the little bus and I had taken a seat on the wrong side where the summer sun beat on the windows. It
was a strange outfit for the weather, but a few miles ahead my future employer might be waiting for
me and I had to make a good impression.
There was a lot depending on this interview. Many friends who had qualified with me were
unemployed or working in shops or as labourers in the shipyards. So many that I had almost given up
hope of any future for myself as a veterinary surgeon. There were usually two or three jobs advertised
in the Veterinary Record each week and an average of eighty applicants for each one. It hadn’t seemed
possible when the letter came from Darrowby in Yorkshire. Mr S. Farnon would like to see me on the
Friday afternoon; I was to come to tea and, if we were suited to each other, I could stay on as his
assistant. Most young people emerging from the colleges after five years of hard work were faced by a
world unimpressed by their enthusiasm and bursting
line 15 knowledge. So I had grabbed the lifeline unbelievingly.
The driver crashed his gears again as we went into another steep bend. We had been climbing steadily
now for the last fifteen miles or so, moving closer to the distant blue of the Pennine Hills. I had never
been in Yorkshire before, but the name had always raised a picture of a region as heavy and
unromantic as the pudding of the same name; I was prepared for solid respectability, dullness and a
total lack of charm. But as the bus made its way higher, I began to wonder. There were high grassy hills
and wide valleys. In the valley bottoms, rivers twisted among the trees and solid grey stone
farmhouses lay among islands of cultivated land which pushed up the wild, dark hillsides. Suddenly, I
realised the bus was clattering along a narrow street which openedonto a square where we stopped.
Above the window of a small grocer’s shop I read ‘Darrowby Co-operative Society’. We had arrived. I
got out and stood beside my battered suitcase, looking about me. There was something unusual and I
didn’t know what it was at first. Then it came to me. The other passengers had dispersed, the driver
had switched off the engine and there was not a sound or a movement anywhere. The only visible sign
of life was a group of old men sitting round the clock tower in the
centre of the square, but they might have been carved of stone.
Darrowby didn’t get much space in the guidebooks, but where it was mentioned it was described as a
grey little town on the River Arrow with a market place and little of interest except its two ancient
bridges. But when you looked at it, its setting was beautiful. Everywhere from the windows of houses
in Darrowby you could see the hills. There was a clearness in the air, a sense of space and airiness that
made me feel I had left something behind. The pressure of the city, the noise, the smoke – already
they seemed to be falling away from me.
Trengate Street was a quiet road leading off the square and from there I had my first sight of Skeldale
House. I knew it was the right place before I was near enough to read S. Farnon, Veterinary Surgeon on
the old-fashioned brass nameplate. I knew by the ivy which grew untidily over the red brick, climbing
up to the topmost windows. It was what the letter had said – the only house with ivy; and this could be
where I would work for the first time as a veterinary surgeon. I rang the doorbell.
