Chapter 1 - Madras 1986
“He knows too much. I must ask you to do nothing.”
“But this time I caught him in the act. I have proof, witnesses, everything. There is no possible
doubt.”
“I said he knows too much! The company can’t afford to have any problems. Our position is
very sensitive in this country. We can’t afford to take risks. I am telling you once again – you will
do nothing. And if there is any trouble, I’m afraid I shall have to hold you personally responsible.
So be sensible for once in your life.”
“I see. So you are telling me to close my eyes to corruption and behave as if nothing has
happened. Is that right?”
“I didn’t put it quite like that. But, if you insist, yes. What Vish does or doesn’t do is a minor
matter compared with the company’s global strategy. Just try to get things in perspective. After
all, you won’t be stuck in Madras for ever – I’ll make sure that you are not. So just go with the flow
for a bit longer. When you’re in your next post this will all seem a very long way away, I can assure
you. But meantime, no trouble. I hope I’ve made myself clear. Oh, and, by the way, I advise you
to forget that we have had this conversation. Goodbye.”
Dick Sterling put the phone down. His hands were trembling. He was furious with himself for
failing to persuade his boss in Delhi, Keith Lennox, to support him, and was disgusted at the mixture
of veiled threats and vague promises Lennox had made.
Adapted from MALEY, Alan. He knows too much. Cambridge University Press, 1999. p.6
In the sentences “Our position is very sensitive in this country." and “So be sensible for once in
your life." (paragraph 3), sensitive and sensible mean respectively

Frequently Asked Questions – Instagram
What is Instagram?
It's an application for your mobile phone that enables you to edit pictures you have taken with your
mobile phone camera using built-in filters and share them with others. If you have an Instagram account
you can tag pictures, rate and comment on other people's pictures and follow other users.
How much is your app?
$0.00.
Where does the name come from?
When we were kids we loved playing around with cameras. We loved how different types of old
cameras marketed themselves as “instant" - something we take for granted today. We also felt that the
snapshots people were taking were like telegrams in that they got sent over the wire to others - so we
figured why not combine the two?
How did the idea come about?
We love taking photos. We always assumed taking interesting photos required a big bulky camera and
a couple years of art school. But as mobile phone cameras got better and better, we decided to challenge
that assumption. We created Instagram to solve three simple problems:
- Mobile photos always come out looking mediocre. Our awesome looking filters transform your
photos into professional-looking snapshots.
- Sharing on multiple platforms is a pain - we help you take a picture once, then share it (instantly)
on multiple services.
- Most uploading experiences are clumsy and take forever - we've optimized the experience to be
fast and efficient.
How does privacy work?
We have adopted a follower model that means if you're “public" on Instagram, anyone can subscribe
to follow your photos. We do, however, have a special private option. In this mode, a user can make sure
he/she must approve all follow requests before they go through.
Who can see my photos?
All photos are public by default which means they are visible to anyone who has an account. If you
choose to make your account private, then only people who follow you on Instagram will be able to see
your photos.
Adapted from https://instagram.com/about/faq/#
According to the text, read the statements and choose the correct alternative.
III - The name Instagram comes from instant + telegram.
IV - Creators of Instagram think that all mobile pictures look good.
V - The application software is available for free.
VI - You can post your Instagram photos directly to other social platforms.
