Read the poem below then answer the questions that follow.
RESPECT.
What you don’t understand, sister.
Is that women are respected in Africa
Oh yes
We call a woman the light of the house
She is the one who fetches water
She is the one who cooks the food
She is the one who gives milk and brings wood
She is the one we come to
When we need satisfaction
We know where the light comes from
We are respected
Is that so, brother?
Is that why she is the last to drink from the gourd?
Is that why she is the last to eat from the bowl?
Is that why she is the last to sleep and first to rise?
Is that why she is the one for whom the only satisfaction
Is another mouth to feed?
And tell me, brother
If the woman is the light of the house
Where does darkness come from?
And tell me, brother
What Will happen if the light fades
Or simply refuses to shine?
Then, sister
It must be made to shine again
Or cast out
A light that does not shine is of no use to any one
Isee
Good, I knew you would understand
In Africa, my sister, women are respected
By Jeanette Cross

- Read the following excerpt and answer the questions that follows.(Solved)
Read the following excerpt and answer the questions that follows.
Mrs. Linde: (Smiles sadly and strokes her hair). It sometimes happens, Nora.
Nora: So you are quite alone. How dreadfully sad that must be. I have three lovely children. You can't see them just now, for they are out with their nurse. But now you must tell me all about it.
Mrs. Linde: No, no; I want to hear about you.
Nora: No, you must begin. I mustn't be selfish today; today I must only think of your affairs. But there is one thing I must tell you. Do you know we have just had a great piece of good luck?
Mrs. Linde: No, what is it?
Nora: Just fancy, my husband has been made manager of the Bank!
Mrs. Linde: Your husband? What good luck!
Nora: Yes, tremendous! A barrister's profession is such an uncertain thing, especially if he won't undertake unsavory cases; and naturally Torvald has never been willing to do that, and I quite agree with him. You may imagine how pleased we are! He is to take up his work in the Bank at the New Year, and then he will have a big salary and lots of commissions. For the future we can live quite differently —we can do just as we like. I feel so relieved and so happy, Christine! It will be splendid to have heaps of money and not need to have any anxiety, won't it?
Mrs. Linde: Yes, anyhow I think it would be delightful to have what one needs.
Nora: No, not only what one needs, but heaps and heaps of money.
Mrs. Linde: (smiling) Nora, Nora, haven't you learned sense yet? In our schooldays you were a great spendthrift. (Laughing) Yes, that is what Torvald says now. (Wags
Nora: her finger at her.) But 'Nora, Nora' is not so silly as you think. We have not been in a position for me to waste money. We have both had to work.
Mrs. Linde: You too?
Nora: Yes; odds and ends, needlework, crotchet-work, embroidery, and that kind of thing. (dropping her voice) And other things as well. You know Torvald left his office when we were married. There was not prospect of promotion there' and he had to try and earn more than before. But during the first year he worked early and late; but he couldn't stand it, and fell dreadfully ill, and the doctors said it was necessary for him to go south.
Mrs. Linde: You spent a whole year in Italy, didn't you?

- Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.(Solved)
Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.
One of the oldest forms of recreation known to human kind, sports are the one arena in which many of the society’s
traditional strictures about masculinity are often loosened ,allowing boys to experience parts of themselves they reared experience elsewhere. At their best, sports provide boys with an opportunity for play in a free atmosphere so that they can be themselves and express a full range of emotions-from the exhilaration of a last minute goal to the acute disappointment of being defeated by the opposing team, from the joy of being the one to pull of unexpected play to the embarrassment of fumbling the ball in the last quarter of the game
Sports provide boys with the theater for the unfettered expressions of their feelings, a place where it is OK to be spirited, a motive and passionate. As twelve- year- old Max told me,”During school we have to be quiet, and raise our hands to talk. It is boring and sometimes I feel like there is nobody to talk to. I love doing sports after school because we can all be
together. We to run fast, shout out things, scream, whatever. It lets me be me.”
For many boys, sports can be a form of intimacy and a way to be honest. By temporarily freeing boys from the Boy Code — especially from the rules that say boys shouldn’t express feelings, show, and affection or expose their yarning for connection -sports can become one of the most important activities through which our sons, as their genuine selves, can relate closely with girls and other boys.
But just as much as they can offer a break from the Boy Code, a chance for openness, expressions and intimacy, sports can also push back loneliness, shame and vicious competition. “It’s rough out there” one high school football player recently told me. “Some guys play hard just the way they should. But other guys just seem like they are out to get you-you know, they try to demolish you”. Thus sports can also be a place where boys show unbridled aggression, let out inappropriate feelings of anger and frustrations, and actually hurt other boys.
And then sports can thrust boys into a cult of competition, the goal of winning at any cost, a quest for narcissistic glory at the expense of others. They cause some boys- especially those who are not interested in sports or who are not skilled at playing them —to feel left out unworthy, a shamed.
I firmly believe that the positive benefits to boys dim when sports cease to be play. D.W. Winnicott, to distinguished English pyschoanalist observed that for children, play is at the heart of health integrated development. His words were especially pertinent to boys whole inner selves are too often suppressed. “Playing shows that the child is capable of developing a personal way of life and eventually becoming a whole being... welcomed by the world at large.”
Sheer competition among ooysreareiyouna character and does little to bring boys closer to one another.
But sports, when they are played, can be a tremendously good thing for boys. The late commissioner of baseball and Renaissance scholar Giamatti A.BatletGiamati spoke of sports as, “that aspiration out of the self-for a moment in touch-with a joy free of all constraints. It is a sensation not of winning, but of fully playing “. When sports are kept in proper perspective — when we see sports primarily as a chance for boys come together for joyful, spirited high energy play-they can help boys discover new competencies, buttress their feelings of self-worth and reunite them with their authentic voices, enabling them to express the deepest stirrings of emotions in their hearts, widening their cycles of connection.
