the story given below and answer the following question:

Passage Harris was riding a bicycle with his wife through Holland. The roads were stony, and the machine jumped a good deal.

‘Sit tight,’ said Harris, without turning his head. Mrs. Harris thought he said, ‘Jump off.’ Mrs. Harris did jump off; while Harris pedaled away hard, thinking that she was still behind him. At first she thought he was riding up the hill just to show off. She expected him to jump off when he reached the top of the hill, and lean in a careless and graceful manner against the bicycle, waiting for her. When she saw him pass the top of the hill and cycle rapidly down the other side, she was quite alarmed. She ran to the top of the hill and shouted, but he never turned his head. She watched him disappear into a wood a mile and a half away, and then sat down and cried. She had no money and she knew no Dutch. People passed, and seemed sorry for her. She tried to make them understand what had happened. They gathered that she had lost something, but could not grasp what. They took her to the nearest village, and found a policeman for her. From the signs she made, the policeman thought that some man had stolen her bicycle. They found a boy driving a lady’s bicycle about four miles away. They brought him to her in a cart, but as Mrs. Harris did not want either him or his bicycle, they let him go again. Meanwhile, Harris continued his ride with much enjoyment. It seems to him that he had suddenly become a stronger cyclist. “1 haven’t felt this machine so light for months. It’s this air, I think. It’s doing me good,” he said. Then he told his wife not to be afraid, and he would show her how fast he could go. He sped merrily on for about five miles. Then, the feeling began to grow upon him that something was wrong. He stretched out his hand behind him and felt there was nothing there. He jumped, or rather fell off, and looked back up the road. It stretched white and straight and not a living soul could be seen on it. Harris was in a panic. He asked several people, but nobody could understand anything that he was saying except that he seemed to have lost a lady. A young man suggested the police station at the next town. Harris made his way there. The police gave him a piece of paper, and told him to write down a full description of his wife, together with the details of when and where he had lost her. He did not know where he had lost her- all he could tell them was the name of the village where he had his lunch. He knew he had her with him then, and they had started from there together. With the help of a hotel-keeper, who spoke a little English, the police were able to make out what he wanted. In the evening they brought her to him in a covered wagon, together with a bill of expenses. She was very angry! (Adapted from Three Men on the Bummel by Jerome K. Jerome) Tick the meaning the following word from the passage: 'Sped' A. Moved quickly B. Gave money for something C. A small wild plant D. To sing sweetly

Passage Rantideva, who was a king, became a hermit. He had given his wealth to the poor and lived a simple life in the solitude of the jungle. He and his family had only the bare necessities of life. One day, after a fast of forty-eight hours, a light meal of rice with milk and sugar was prepared for him. A poor Brahmin came up to the door of the hut and asked for food. Rantideva gave him half of his rice. Then came a Sudra begging for help and Rantideva gave him half of what remained. Next, Rantideva heard a dog barking; the poor beast seemed to be starving. Rantideva gave him what was left. Last of all came a pariah who stopped at the hermit’s door and asked for help. Rantideva gave him the milk and the sugar, and continued to fast. Suddenly, four gods stood in front of Rantideva. “It was to us, Rantideva, that you gave food, for we assumed the forms of a Brahmin, a Sudra, a dog and a poor outcast. You were good to us all and we praise you for your loving thoughts.” A kind heart treats all men and even animals as members of one family, one humanity.

Mary had a little lamb, Its fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, The lamb was sure to go. It followed her to school one day, Which was against the rules, It made the children laugh and play, To see a lamb at school! And so the teacher turned him out, But still it lingered near, And waited patiently about, Till Mary did appear.

And then it went to her and laid, His head upon her arm, As if he said, “I am not afraid, You’ll keep me from all harm.” “What makes the lamb love Mary so?” The eager children cry--“Oh! Mary loves the lamb, you know,” The teacher did reply. “And you each gentle animal in confidence may bind, And make them follow at your call, If you are always kind!” (Sarah Joseph Hale) Why did the Lamb follow Mary around? A. Because she loved him. B. Because she gave him food. C. Because he wanted to study in the school. D. Because she tied him to a rope and made him

follow her.
