2.1 COMPREHENSION

Read the passage and answer the following questions.

Only four days ago, severe floods struck my small town. It had been raining incessantly and with no sunshine at all, housewives were unable to dry out their clothes. As for the town dwellers, they were not at first aware that a flood was imminent. It was only when they noticed the water level of the river that flowed through the town rising progressively that they realized the danger. Without any delay, they made arrangements to evacuate.

The floods however, failed to deter the youth club in my town from springing into action. The members voluntarily rendered help to all those who needed it irrespective of race and age. Under the command of the youth club president, four teams were sent down to the low-lying parts of the town to evacuate the affected people. Where possible, most of their valuables and expensive items were removed to safer places. Wading through the flood was a difficult task for the members as the ground was soft and muddy. At certain places, it was uneven too. Some of the boys helped to remove the property of the flood victims while others carried the old folks on their backs. The youth club was turned into a relief center in view of its good position. During the night, members spent the night in the club to attend to the weak and needy ones. 1. The word incessantly is best replaced by A. B. heavily totally C. continuously D. everywhere

2. When the town people knew that the water level was rising they A. B. C. D. prepared to move to another place of safety. collected all their valuables and locked them up. summoned help from the neighboring areas. rang the youth club to help them evacuate.

3. Several members of the youth club gave help A. B. C. D. on the encouragement of their leader on their own free will because they would be paid for services rendered as they were ordered to do so.

4.

The word evacuate as used in the passage means A. B. C. D. assist. order. help remove.

5.

Walking through the water was difficult mainly because of the A. B. C. D. abundant boulders. mud and undulating ground. fast flowing flood water. depth of the water. ( 5 MARKS )

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.

CHOPSTICKS

The earliest chopsticks were probably made of bamboo. Later, other materials such as hardwood, ivory, amber and jade were used to make chopsticks. At one time chopsticks made of ivory and silver were a status symbol at any rich mans table. They were also occasionally a silent proof of his good faith. In the early days, a lord who wanted to get rid of his enemies might invite them all to a dinner. One of the dishes might be poisoned. It was believed that silver would turn black in the presence of poison. In the same circumstances ivory would fly to pieces. Therefore, guests whose chopsticks remained whole and unchanged could enjoy their meal with peace of mind. The Chinese will tell you that they can guess many things about a person from the way he holds his chopsticks. If he places them across his rice bowl, it means that he is a boat man, because this is considered a good sign on sailing. Usually, however, placing chopsticks across
BI 1051-LE2-AS PINDAAN : 1 MUKASURAT 41

rice bowl means that one has finished eating. If the holder pushes his chopsticks against his stomach to even them up instead of tapping them on the table, it is likely that he is a coolie, used to eating out of doors, squatting on the ground. If a little girl holds her chopsticks at the far end, her husband will come from a distant place. But if she holds them nearer the eating end, her husband may be someone living quite nearby. To drop your chopsticks means bad luck. To find a pair of unequal length at your place at the table means that you will miss a bus, train, boat or plane.

1. Long ago it was a status symbol to have chopsticks made of A. bamboo. B. hardwood. C. amber and jade. D. silver and ivory.

2. They were also occasionally a silent proof of his good faith. The word they refer to A. the guests B. the amber and jade chopsticks C. the silver and ivory chopsticks D. chopsticks in general
