    6. Section B - Comprehension

    You are advised to spend about 30 minutes on this section.

Late one night, Mr. Oliver was returning to his school on the outskirts of the hill station of Simla. He had been teaching in this school for many years. A bachelor, he usually strolled into town in the evening, returning after dark when he would take a shortcut through a pine forest.

Usually, strong winds made eerie sounds as they swept through the pine trees, discouraging most people from using the path. But Mr. Oliver was not a nervous or imaginative man.

On this particular night, he carried a torch, and its pale light moved over the narrow forest path. As its flickering light fell in the gloom, he saw a boy sitting alone on a rock.

"What are you doing out here, boy?" Mr. Oliver asked sharply, moving closer so he could recognize the miscreant. But as he approached the boy, he sensed that something was wrong.

The boy appeared to be crying. His head was hung down, and he held his face in his hands. His body shook convulsively with a strange, soundless weeping. Mr. Oliver felt uneasy.

“What’s the matter?” he asked. His anger gave way to concern. “Why are you crying?”

The boy continued to weep but did not answer or look up. Mr. Oliver put his hand on the boy’s shoulder and urged him to look up.

The boy lifted his face. The light from Mr. Oliver’s torch fell on the boy’s face—if it could be called a face. He had no eyes, ears, nose, or mouth. It was just a round, smooth head, with a school cap on top.

Mr. Oliver's torch fell from his trembling hand. He turned and scrambled down the path, running blindly through the trees, calling for help.

He was still running toward the school building when he saw a lantern swinging in the distance. As he stumbled up to the watchman, gasping for breath and speaking incoherently, he managed to say, “I saw something—something horrible—a boy weeping in the forest, and he had no face!”

The watchman raised his lamp to his own face and asked, “Do you mean it was like this, Sahib?”

The watchman had no eyes, no ears, no features at all—not even an eyebrow.

The wind blew out the lamp, and Mr. Oliver had a heart attack.

  1. Question 6
    1. Why did Mr. Oliver take the pine forest route to his school?
    2. What did Mr. Oliver think when he first saw the ‘boy’?
    3. What was the first indication to Mr. Oliver that all was not well?
    4. What did the night watchman turn out to be?

    6. "Do you mean it was like this, Sahib?" What does "this" refer to?
    7. "... who have had similar experiences and dropped dead of unexplainable heart attack."
      1. What grammatical name is given to this expression as it is used in the passage?
      2. What is its function?
    8. For each of the following words, find another word or phrase which means the same and which can replace it as it is used in the passage:

    2. Children today are being hurried through childhood, rushed into taking on adult tasks at a very early age. Granted that the effects are not always so dramatic or so tragic, they can be profound and long-lasting. Parents are understandably eager to see their children succeed. When that eagerness turns into anxiety, parents may overload their children, pushing them too hard too soon. For instance, it is becoming increasingly common for parents to enrol young children in after-school activities. Often, special tutoring is added. Of course, it is not wrong to encourage a child's talents or interests. There is a danger of excess when some children seem to have as many pressures as harried adults do. Before their children are born, parents are already enrolling them in preschool, hoping to improve their prospects of success. In some countries, children are assessed for reading and mathematics skills before they are six years old. Such practices have raised concern about emotional damage. Many parents seem to think it normal, even advisable, to teach their children that winning is everything. Some parents work extremely hard to provide every possible material comfort for their children, believing that they are working to ensure their children's happiness—but they may well be doing the opposite. Often, more than a few children raised this way are involved in drinking, drugs, and sullen rebellious behavior as many fume with resentment because they feel neglected. The children often pay a high price. Although they may have many material luxuries, they lack the most essential ingredients of a good childhood: parental attention and love. Without guidance, discipline, and direction, they face adult questions too soon, with little or no preparation. They will likely obtain their own answers from peers or movie characters. The results often bring childhood to an abrupt, even tragic, end. Without a doubt, pushing children through childhood is a dangerous practice that should be avoided.
  2. Question 7
    1. Why do parents rush their children through childhood?
    2. Give two examples of how parents rush their children through childhood.
    3. State two sad effects of bringing up children in extreme luxury.
    4. Why do children raised in luxury become angry?
    5. What is ironical about parents' efforts to make their children happy?
    6. "...the children pay a high price." What is the meaning of this expression?
    7. "Although they may have many material luxuries..."
      1. What grammatical name is given to this expression as it is used in the passage?
      2. What is its function?
    8. For each of the following words, find another word or phrase which means the same and which can replace it as it is used in the passage:
      1. effects
      2. eager
      3. prospects
      4. raised
      5. essential
      6. resentment

Section C - Summary

You are advised to spend about 40 minutes on this section.

Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions on it.

Although two tragic hot spots have made numerous headlines in recent years, the world's undernourished—some 400 million people—are still far from having their hopes fulfilled.

For example, in 1996, world leaders set the goal to stop malnutrition by reducing by half the number of undernourished people by the year 2015. However, the report of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations for 2007 noted that there had been a slowdown in progress. In some developing countries, the number of undernourished people had actually increased considerably.

Malnutrition is usually triggered by a combination of factors, namely: an insufficient intake of calories, vitamins, and minerals, and frequent infections. Such illnesses as diarrhea, measles, malaria, and respiratory diseases tax the body, reducing food intake and causing a loss of nutrients. They render malnourished children more susceptible to infections. The result is a vicious cycle that increases the likelihood of suffering malnutrition. Children are most likely to suffer malnutrition because they are in a period of rapid growth that increases the demand for calories and nutrients. Pregnant and nursing women are also at great risk of suffering malnutrition.

Malnutrition has far-reaching effects. First, it wreaks havoc on the body, particularly the kidneys, stomach, intestines, liver, and other organs. Various studies have shown that malnutrition in a child is closely associated with poor scholastic and intellectual performance. Secondly, for children who survive malnutrition, it can lead to permanent damage that lingers on into adulthood. Recent research links undernourishment in infancy to diseases in adulthood such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure.

How can children be best protected from malnutrition? It is essential to improve the diet of the mother. Pregnant and nursing women need to consume more calories and proteins. Proteins in particular help in the production of the mother’s milk. So, when there is little food, preference should be given to women of childbearing age and to little children.

Secondly, in almost all cases, the best possible food for a baby is its mother’s milk. This is especially so during the first days after birth because mother’s milk contains antibodies that protect the baby from infection. During the first four months or so, breast milk provides all the nutrients that the baby needs in order to grow and develop properly. But breastfeeding should be continued for as long as necessary, which could be up to two years.

After the baby is weaned, the greatest possible variety of foods in different combinations should be introduced to provide nutrients that protect the baby. The mother should focus on providing the child with good-quality food, neither forcing the child to eat after it is full nor withholding food from the child when it appears to want more.


  • Question 8
    1. In one sentence, summarize the causes of malnutrition.
    2. In two sentences, one for each, summarize the two major effects of malnutrition.
    3. In three sentences, one for each, summarize the three preventive measures against malnutrition recommended in the passage.
