Court Frees Cat

The Dutch supreme court has ruled that Napo­leon, the black cat who was put under house arrest for life, can once again prowl the streets of the exclusive suburb of the Hague where his owners live. Undoubtedly, Napoleon will feel relieved that he will once again be able to breathe plenty of fresh air and have the freedom to go anywhere he wants to.

0 (H) He would fight them and chase them away from their hunting grounds and places where they played. Now, however, a new decision has been made and the tough five-year-old tom-cat is to be allowed out again on the streets ofWassenaar, the Hague's diplomatic area. 1(….) Later you will find out why this is not the ideal solution, but first, let's see why Napoleon's case is so unusual.

2 (….) He was found guilty of breach of the peace on evidence backed up by police reports. It was Napoleon's enormous appetite that drove him to break into homes and eat everything in sight, even goldfish and gourmet food from millionaires' villas.

After he was forbidden to leave his home, council officials warned that one moreraidwouldput him in an animal refuge. 3 (…..)This is because after a couple of months in the refuge the cats are put down due to the constant arrival of cats and the lack of space to keep them.

To avoid the death penalty, Napoleon was taken to Belgium and became a guest in a Brussels apartment. Owner Harry Vennekens said that Na­poleon was unhappythere with only a balcony to explore.4 (…) Napoleon was growing weaker bythe day, and if something wasn't done soon, he would be certain to die in a matter of weeks.

After an appeal by Vennekens, the Dutch supreme court has ruled that the municipality was acting unreasonably by ordering him to stay indoors. Napoleon is expected to return home shortly. It is fantastic news! Or is it?

The town council and the owner don't think it is fantastic news. They are dissatisfied with the decision to partially restore his prowling rights, allowing him to walk in the streets for a restricted period every day. They would rather Napoleon had complete freedom. 5 (…) He said it would be almost impossible to have Napoleon home before the deadline of nine o'clock.

Vennekens said: "It is a ridiculous decision. Am I expected to teach Napoleon the time or hang an alarm clock around his neck and train him to come home when it goes off?" Although Napoleon will be better off than he was, he will still have only three hours to go where he likes. However, as he can't tell the time, he will probably come home after nine o'clock, and the court will send him away for arriving after the deadline. The situation looks hopeless.6 (…)

A Nevertheless Vennekens, who loves Napoleon, has promised to continue his campaignto restorehis cat’s freedom.
B Napoleon was the first animal in history to appearbefore a court.
C But he can onlystay out between six and nine o’clockin the evening.
D Napoleon is very independent and dislikes the company ofother cats.
EThis would almost certainly be condemning him to death.
FHe explained that he had lost two kilos and it was all dueto stress.
G A mayor’s office spokesman describedtheruling as “unworkable”.
H The court ordered Napoleon to stay at homebecauseit was believed that he had been terrorising neighbouring cats and stealing their food.

PART 2

You are going to read an extract from a novel. For questions 1-8,choose the answer (A,B, C or D) which you think fits best according to the text.

I crept to the door and listened; they were snoring, so I tiptoed along and got down the stairs safely. I couldn't hear a sound. I looked through a crack in the dining room door and saw that the men who were watching the body were all asleep in their chairs. The door of the parlour, where the corpse was lying, was open, and there was a candle in each room.I went past, but the front door was locked and the key was missing.

Just then I heard footsteps on the stairs behind me. I silently ran into the parlour and cast my eyes about the room. The only place I could see to hide the bag was in the coffin. The lid was pushed along, showing the dead man's face with a wet cloth over it. I tucked the money-bag in under the lid, just below where his hands were crossed. That sent a shiver down my spine; his hands were so cold. Then I ran back across the room and hid behind the door.

The person coming was Mary Jane. She went to the coffin, knelt down and looked in. Then she put her handkerchief to her face and I sensed that she had started crying, although I couldn't hear her and her back was turned. I slipped out. Looking back into the dining room, I saw that the watchers were still all asleep and I hadn't been seen.

As I climbed back into bed, I was a little shaken after all the risks I had just taken. I thought to myself it would be alright if it stayed where it was because when we had gone another hundred miles or two down the river I could write to Mary Jane and she could dig him up and get it. But that's not going to happen because they'll find the money when they screw the lid on. The king will get it back and nobody else will get their hands on it again. Of course, I wanted to sneakback down and get it, but I didn't dare to try. Every minute it was getting later now. Soon some of the watchers would start waking up and I might get caught - caught with six thousand dollars in my hands. How could I explain that'?
