After I had finished my shopping for the day, I had to drag myself away carrying lots of heavy bags, but feeling quite pleased with myself. Should you ever find yourself in Amsterdam, make sure you visit this fantastic European market. The combination of a lively atmosphere, delicious food and traditional goods makes this an experience not to be missed. When I arrived in the early morning, the market had just opened, but the hustle and bustle of shoppers, tourists and street musicians had already started. The place was jumping with life. The fragrance of freshly cut flowers made the place look bright and festive, As I wandered along, looking at the freshly baked cakes and smelling the mouth-watering aromas of the different pies. I suddenly realized how hungry I was. When I tried one, it tasted delicious. One hour later, I discovered an amazing traditional market, the Albert Cayeb market. With its huge variety of goods and its lively atmosphere, it stands out from all the other street markets.

6- Read the following passage and then answer the questions:
Cheques have largely replaced money as a means of exchange, for they are widely accepted everywhere. Though this is very convenient for both buyer and seller, it should not be forgotten that cheques are not real money: they are quite valueless in themselves. A shopkeeper always runs a certain risk when he accepts a cheque and he is right if he refuses to do so.
People do not always know this. An old and very wealthy friend of mine told me he had an extremely unpleasant experience. He went to a famous jewellery shop which carries a large stock of precious stones and asked to be shown some pearl necklaces. After examining several trays, he decided to buy a fine string of pearls and asked if he could pay by cheque. The assistant agreed, but the moment my friend signed his name, he was invited into the manager’s office.
The manager was very polite, but he explained that someone with the same name had offered them a worthless cheque not long ago. My friend got very angry when he heard this and said he would buy a necklace somewhere else. When he got up to go, the manager told him that the police would arrive at any moment and he had better stay unless he wanted to get into serious trouble. The police arrived soon afterwards. They apologized to my friend, but explained that a person who had used the same name as his was responsible for a number of recent robberies. Then the police asked my friend to copy out a note which had been used by the thief in a number of shops. The note read: “I have a gun in my pocket. Ask me no questions and give me all the money in the drawer.” Fortunately, my friend’s handwriting was quite unlike the thief’s. He was not only allowed to go out without further delay, but to take the string of pearls with him.
A) Answer the following questions:
1- Why did the shopkeeper refuse to deal with his customers by cheques?
2- Why was the writer’s friend invited into the manager’s office once he signed his name?
