Look at the underlined sentences in the text (Ex. 2B) and answer questions 1-4 alongside the text. 1 Who thinks that? 2 Has Miss Smith lived in the street for more than 30 years? 3 Who believes that? 4 Why not simply She grew up in Sussexquot;? For longer than most of her neighbours can remember, the slight, grey-haired woman has lived an eccentric but blameless life in one of West London39;s streets. Anne Smith has become a well-known local character, and her unconventional home a battered old Форд Consul covered in colourful spots, slogans and poems a neighbourhood landmark. Some neighbours in the Chiswick street where her home is parked believe she should be moved on, worried that her continuing presence could affect the value of their half-million-pound homes. Others are prepared to accept Miss Smiths alternative lifestyle. This well-heeled communitys support or rejection of 58-year-old Miss Smith has come to stand for societys attitudes to those who do not, or cannot, conform. The argument has long been a topic of conversation at the neighbourhood39;s dinner tables but the fate of Miss Smith is now about to be settled in the more clinical surrounds of Hounslow Civic Centre. Behind closed doors, the councils social services experts, housing officers and lawyers are mulling over the intricacies of the problem. Does she have rights under the European convention of human rights to stay in a spot she has occupied for many years? The authority will make its decision within a few weeks. So emotive is the problem that until then it is refusing to answer questions about her. Quite how Miss Smith came to be living in the car remains unclear. It is thought she has lived in the street for more than 30 years, at first in the family home and then for a dozen or more years in the Ford. According to some she suffered a nervous breakdown after her parents died. The house was sold and she moved into the car with her dog Bouncer. Others believe the story that she fell in love with a choir singer with a marvellous baritone voice, but the relationship failed, putting her in a deep depression. Miss Smith, for her part, refuses to discuss her situation. She is believed to have grown up in Sussex and was encouraged bv her mother to become a musician. In the 1960s she appeared in concerts at the Wigmore Hall in London and performed under the watchful eye of Sir Adrian Boult, conductor of the first BBC Symphony Orchestra. She went on to teach at a convent school. By coincidence one of her former pupils, Jane O39;Brien, lives in the same street. Now she roams the neighbourhood dressed in rags, which she stitches together herself, and shoes patched with pieces of plastic and feathers borrowedquot; from the pigeons she feeds. She cooks on a rudimentary barbecue and washes and gets drinking water from a local shop.
