TOPIC : READING COMPREHENSION
Direction (1 to 5) :Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below.
The camel is the oldest of domestic animals. It has been used for thousands of years, by the desert people
of Africa and Asia to supply many of their needs. On the fertile edges of the desert, camels pull ploughs,
the wheels to irrigate the fields and carry goods to market. In the desert itself, they are still almost the only
means of transport.
They supply food, milk and clothing in the form of wool and leather.
This useful animal is well adapted to life in harsh, arid lands. The Arabian camel has one hump; the
Bactrian camel has two. The hump is, in fact, a store of fat which is used as a source of energy when food
and water are scarce. The camel can take up to 100 litres of water in ten minutes.
The camel has broad, soft feet for a steady grip in the sand. A thick skin protects it from the fierce daytime
sun and bitterly cold nights. The camel's eyes have three eyelids to help keep out sand; its ears and nose
are also adapted to keep out sand storms. Often called 'The ships of the desert', they can carry loads of
200 kilos and more, travelling up to 160 kilometres a day.

But I did not want to shoot the elephant. I watched him beating his bunch of grass against his knees, with
the preoccupied grandmotherly air that elephants have. It seemed to me that it would be murder to shoot
him. I had never shot an elephant and never wanted to. (Somehow it always seems worse to kill large
animal.) Besides, there was the beast's owner to be considered. But I had got to act quickly. I turned to
some experienced-looking Burmans who had been there when we arrived, and asked them how the el-
ephants had been behaving. They all said the same thing; he took no notice of you if you left him alone, but
he might charge if you went too close to him.

Harold, a professional man who had worked in an office for many years, had a fearful dream. In it, he found
himself in a land where small slug-like animals with slimy tentacles lived on people's bodies. The people
tolerated the loathsome creatures because after many years they grew into elephants which then became
the nation's system of transport, carrying everyone wherever he wanted to go. Harold suddenly realised
that he himself was covered with these things, and he woke up screaming. In a vivid sequence of pictures
this dream dramatised for Harold what he had never been able to put in to words; he saw himself as letting
society feed on his body in his early years so that it would carry him when he retired. He later threw off the
"security bug" and took up freelance work.

Direction (12 to 15) :Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below..
Laws of nature are not commands but statements of acts. The use of the word "law" in this context is rather
unfortunate. It would be better to speak of uniformities in nature. This would do away with the elementary

the contrary, we say that the law has been incorrectly started.
