Q.3       Summaries the following passages from THE PEARL to the third of the original in yours own              words. (About 115 Words)  
                        In the brush house by the shore Kino's neighbors sat long over their breakfast and they              spoke of what they would do if they had found the pearl.And one man said he would give it as a              present to the Holly Father in Rome.Another said that he would buy Masses for the souls of his              family for thousand years.Another thought he might take the money and distribute it among the              poor of LAPAZ,and a fourth thought of all the good things one could do with the money from the              pearl of all the charities, benefits, to all the rescues one could perform if one had money. All of the              neighbors hoped that the sudden wealth would not turn kino's head would not make a rich man of              him would not graft on to him to him the evil limbs of greed and hatred and coldness.For kino              was a well-liked man, it would be a shame if the perl destroyed him."That good wife juana, they              said ,"and the beautiful baby Coyotito,and the other to come.what a pity it would be if the pearl              should destroyed them all!"  
             For kino and juana this was the morning of mornings of their lives, comparable only to the              day,when the baby had been born. This was to be the day from which all other days would take              their arrangement.Thus they would say."lt was two years before we sold the pearl",or ,"it was six              weeks after we sold the pearl."Janan, considering the matter, threw caution to the winds and she              dressed Coyotito in the clothes she had prepared for his baptism. And juana combed and              braided her hair and fied the ends with two little bows of red ribbons, and she put on her              marriage skirt and waist. The sun was quarter high when they were ready kino's ragged white              clothes were clean at least and this was the last day of his raggedness, for tomorrow, or even this              after noon, he would have new clothes.     
             The neighbors, watching kino's door through the crevices in their brush houses, were dressed              ready too. There was no self-consciousness about their joining kino and juana to go pearl              selling.It was expected, it was an historic moment, they would be creazy if they didn't go. It was              expected, it would be almost a sign of unfriendliness.
Q.4       Read the following passage and answer the questions that at the end.
             1.         There are many who confues cheetahs whit leopards even africans, who used to call both               animals by the same swabili name ngari. indeed at first glance they look enough alike to be thwins               both are tawny furrd sported cats. but beyond this superficial similarly, they are as different as a               sumo wrestler and a ballerina.  
              2.         The thick set leopard, heavier by 30 pounds, periapts in the shadows of the night, relying               on heavy cover, stealth and close up ambush tactics. The trim cheetah is a creature of the day               that likes open spaces and long vistas .Has eyesight like that of all cats,is keen enabling him to               pick out even well camouflaged prey at great distances.
              3.         Thecheetah is distinguished even further from the leopard and the relines by some               diswtinctly un-catlike leathers. His legs are long and thin boned, like a dog's his head looks too               small for his body, and his jaws and teeth are undersized. Even such feline basic as tree climbing               do not always come easy to hi. In the nairobi.National park we watched one playful cheetah try               to scrqamble up an acacia truck. He made it about half way to the lowest branches. There his               claws lost their grip and still clutching the tree, he slid indecorouslty to the ground. The trouble               was that a cheetah claws are not fully retractable and therefore grow worm and blunted again               like a dog's.
