READING COMPREHENSION (SEEN)
1. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
When the family sits down to tea, the cat puts in an appearance to get his share. He purrs noisily and rubs himself against the legs of the family members. If there is a guest at the table the cat is particularly civil to him, because the guest is likely to have the best of what is offered. Sometimes, instead of giving him something to eat, the guest stoops down and strokes the cat, and says, “Poor pussy !” The cat soon tires of that. He puts up his claw and quietly but firmly rakes the guest in the leg. “Ow !” says the guest, “The cat stuck his claws into me !”. The delighted family remarks, “Isn’t it sweet of him? Isn’t he intelligent? He wants you to give him something to eat.”
The guest dares not do what he would like to do – kick the cat out of the window. So, with tears of rage and pain in his eyes, he affects to be very much amused, and sorts out a bit of fish from his plate and hands it down. The cat gingerly receives it, with a look in his eyes that says, “Another time, my friend, you won’t be so slow to understand.” He purrs as he retires to a safe distance from the guest’s boot before eating his food.

And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by:
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking.

Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying
And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying.
I must go down to the seas again, to the vagrant gypsy life

Sub: Air and Sound Pollution Caused by Crackers
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily I would like to draw the attention of the public and the government about the air and sound pollution caused by crackers. People enjoy bursting crackers in Diwali and other festivals and functions. Along with the enjoyment these festivals also tag along pollutions and global warming. The suffering of children and aged people is a matter of great concern.
According to medical experts these fire crackers, not only produces high decibel noise, that leads to hypertension and hearing loss, but they also release pollutants such as Sulphur dioxide, Carbon monoxide into the air which causes ailments like asthma and bronchitis..Not only these effect humans but also animals and birds. Environment and pollution department got notices published but in vain.
I hope Government will come to the rescue and ban the production and enforce strict law on its sales among people.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully,
Suman Sil

Four armed docaits entered the house of a retired Bank Manager. The retired Bank Manager himself was present in the house along with his wife, daughter-in law and two-year-old grand-daughter. Though the robbers did not physically harm the residents, they locked them up in a store-room on the first floor before escaping with Rs 85,000 cash and gold jewellery worth about Rs 3 lakhs. This incident evoked a lot of resentment among the residents of the area who complained about a total security lapse in the locality. The police registered a complaint of docaity and on the basis of the appearance of the robbers given by the residents, a search operation had been launched to arrest the docaits.
