I. Read the following paragraph. Then create 2 Bottom-Up, 2 Top-Down, and 2 Interactive questions.

“Throw out the bottles and boxes of drugs in your house. A new theory suggests that medicine could be
bad for your health, which should at least come as good news to the people who cannot afford to buy expensive
medicine. However, it is a blow to the medicine industry, and an even bigger blow to our confidence in the
progress of science. This new theory argues that healing is at our fingertips: we can be healthy by doing Reiki on
a regular basis. In quantum physics, energy is recognized as the fundamental substance of which the universe is
composed. Reiki depends on the energy within our bodies. It is a simple and effective way of restoring the
energy flow. There are no side effects and it is scientifically explained.”

II. A. Read the following passages. Identify the images and state the sense(s) appealed to in each of the
passages.

The sun is up today. Water drips from the eaves of the house. Icicles melt into water and drip-drip from nine in
the mornin’ till three in the evenin’. White clouds scud the sky. Winter has started breakin’ up. Warm thaw

Senses:

By warm winds deflowered
Till the scent it gives
Makes faint with too mush sweet these honey-winged thieves.

When all the boys and girls are gone
And there’s no shout at all,
And there’s no one to stamp before,
No one to note his might.

Against the dark of night?

Dora was quiet, at-Gwendolyn

D.
The weather at first was mild and pleasant. The blackbirds sang and in the marshes near by some
living creature made a plaintive hum, as if it was blowing into an empty bottle. A snipe called, and
the shots fired at it sounded ragged and cheerful in the spring air. But when the wood began to
grow dark, an unseasonably cold, biting wind sprang up from the east, and everything fell silent.
Needles of ice crept over the surface of the pools and the wood was uncomfortably empty and
deserted. There was a smell of winter in the air.

What mood does the setting convey in the passage?
