follow:
It is always lovely on the
Big Half Moon in summer. When it is fine, the harbour is blue and
calm, with little wind and ripples. Every summer, we had some hobby. The last
summer before Dick and Mimi came, we were crazy about kites. A boy on the
mainland showed Claude how to make them Back on the island we made plenty of
kites. Cloude would go around to the otherside of the inland and we would play
shipwrecked mariners signalling to each other with
kites.
We had a kite that was big and covered with lovely red paper. We
pasted gold tinsel stars all over it and had written our names full on it -
Claude Leete and Philippa Leete, Big Half Moon lighthouse.
One day there was a grand wind for kite-flying. I'm not sure how
it happened, but as I was bringing the kite from the house, I tripped and fell
over the rocks, My elbow went clear through the kite, making a big hole.
We had to hurry to fix the kite if we wanted to send it up before
the wind fell: We rushed into the lighthouse to get some paper. We knew there
was no more red paper We took the first thing that came handy an old letter
lying on the bookcase in the sitting room. We patched the kite up with the
letter, a sheet on each side and dried it by
the fire. We started out, and up went the kite like a bird

1. Read the passage carefully and answer
the questions that follow :
It
is the last time we shall be walking with Bapu. It was an agonizing walk.
Thousands silently watched the procession. Bapu lay on an open truck covered
with flowers. Thousands of people wept trying to touch Bapu‘s feet. It was
impossible to move in the thick crowd.
As
I moved forward slowly I understood I was not merely in the midst of grieving
people. This was even more than the funeral procession of India‘s beloved
leader. I was among people for whom walking with Bapu had a special meaning. We
had walked with Bapu over the rough and smooth of India’s recent history. We
could not now accept the fact that the man who had led us over many difficult
paths, was never going to walk with us again. Bapu’s slight figure had walked,
staff in hand, over a large part of India. To walk is to make slow progress. It
is to think with clarity and closely look at all that is around you, from small
insects to the horizon in the distance Moreover, to walk was often the only way
open to the average Indian. It required no vehicle except his own body and cost
him nothing but his energy.
A. Write
the correct alternative to complete the following sentences: [1 x 5 = 5]
(a) The last walk with Bapu was.
(i) pleasant (ii) painful (iii) strange (iv)
delightful
(b) According to the narrator, walking
with Bapu was.
(i) quite boring (ii) a usual affair (iii) not a
commonplace affair (iv) meaningless

1. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow
:
"What have you written, Father ?" Swami asked
apprehensively. "Nothing for you. Give it to your headmaster and go to
your class." "Have you written anything about our teacher Samuel
?"
"Yes. Plenty of things.”
"What has he done, Father ?"
"Everything is there in the letter. Give it to your
headmaster."
Swami went to school feeling that he was the worst boy on earth.
His conscience bothered
him. He wasn't at all sure if his description of Samuel had been accurare. He
felt he had mixed up the real and the imagined.
Swami stopped on the roadside to make up his mind about Samuel.
Samuel was not such a
bad man after all. Personally he was much more friendly than the other
teachers. Swami also felt Samuel had a special regard for him. Swami's head was
dizzy with confusion. He could not decide if Samuel really deserved the
allegations made against him in the letter. The more he thought of Samuel, the
more Swami grieved for him. To recall Samuel's dark face, his thin moustache
unshaven cheek and yellow coat filled Swaminathan
with sorrow.

★1. Read the passage
carefully and answer the questions that follow:
When the family has finished tea, and gathers round the fire, the
cat casually goes out of the room. True life now begins for him. He saunters
down his own backyard springs to the top of the fence, drops lightly down to
the other side. He trots across and skips to the roof of an empty shed. His
movement becomes lithe and pantherlike. He looks keenly from side to side and
moves noiselessly, for he has so many enemies
-dogs and small boys with stones,
On top of the shed, the cat arches his back and rakes his claws
once or twice through
the soft bark of the old roof. He stretches himself a few times to
see if every muscle is in full working order. Then, drooping his head nearly to
his paws, he sends across a call to his kindred. Before long they come,
gliding, graceful shadows. No longer are they the meek creatures who an hour
ago were mewing for fish and milk. They are now grim fighters.
Just think how much more he gets out of his life than you do out
of yours! And the sports they have, too ! As they get older they go in for
sport to the suburban backyards. These backyards that are dull to us, are to
them hunting grounds where they ve more gallant adventure than King Arthur's
knights ever had.
