The Story of Helen Keller

1 Helen Keller could neither see nor hear from the time
she was a baby. Yet the brilliant girl was able to overcome all
those handicaps, to graduate from a college with honors and
become a useful citizen.

2 For nineteen months Helen grew bigger and stronger.

She was able to walk when she was a year old; she could
say a few words. But one day the child fell ill. For days she
was laid up with a high fever and soon the parents learned
that their sweetheart would never be able to see and hear.
The little child was now destined to a life of silence and
darkness. She could not hear what was said to her and did
not know how to talk. She was unable to play with other
children.

3 When Helen was 6 years old her parents took her

to Baltimore and then to Washington to famous doctors,
but the doctors could do nothing. The child was hopelessly
deaf. It was a wonderful day for Helen Keller when Ann
Sullivan arrived in March 1887 to take charge of the child
who could not hear or speak. Ann Sullivan found a way to
make herself understood. She lived with Helen, played
with her and worked with her every hour of the day. By
means of the hand language, Helen and her teacher were
able to talk to each other.

4 Helen learned to read books that were printed for

the blind with elevated letters. She also learned to use the
typewriter to write what she wanted to say. When Helen was 10, she was determined
that she would learn to speak. At first, she learned only the sounds of the letters of the
alphabet, but soon she was able to say words and sentences.

5 In the story of her life Helen Keller writes, “I shall never forget the surprise and
delight I felt when I said my first connected sentence: “It is warm.” Later she was able to
speak before large crowds which came to hear her whenever she lectured.

6 At the age of 20 Helen Keller passed all the difficult entrance examinations to
Radcliffe College. Helen did extremely well in her classes and was able to match up
with the other students. Helen wrote “The Story of My Life” while she was in college. In
her writings and lectures Helen did everything she could to help and encourage others
who were blind.

06 Read the passage and decide if the following statement is true or false.

- The accurate root of biryani is known to all.

The History of Biryani

Biryani is an evergreen classic
that really needs no
introduction. However, the
exact origin of the dish is
uncertain. Historians suggest
that there was a rice dish
known as OonSoru as early as
the year 2 A.D. in Tamil Nadu.
It was composed of some rice,
ghee, meat, turmeric, and
pepper, with some coriander,
and 3 or 4 bay leaves.
Some historians believe that
the Turk-Mongol conqueror,
Timur, introduced biryani to
India when he arrived at the borders of India in 1398. Timur’s soldiers liked to have the
dish a lot; especially in the battlefield. They buried an earthen pot full of rice, and meat
with some spices in a hot pit. But they didn’t use any coriander or bay leaf. After a while,
they dug up the pot and served the dish to the warriors. This dish was named Timur’s
Biriyani after the name of the conqueror.

Unit 5 46
Another interesting story traces the origin of the dish to Mumtaz Mahal (1593-1631), Shah
Jahan’s queen who inspired the Taj Mahal. It is said that she once visited army barracks
and saw that many soldiers were malnourished. She asked the chef to prepare a special
dish which would provide balanced nutrition. The chef fried rice in ghee, without washing,
to give it a nutty flavour and prevent it from clumping. Then, some meat, spices, and
saffron were added to it before cooking the mix over a wood fire. This is how the Mughal
Biryani was created.
Haji Biriyani is the best of its kind. It is delicious! It was named after Haji Mohammad
Hossain. In 1939, he opened a roadside food corner in Nazira Bazar, Old Dhaka. Later
on, his business took dramatic change and became part of the culture of Dhaka city. He
added a lot of ingredients such as garlic, cashew, black pepper, saffron, cheese to rice
and mutton.

07 Fill in the gaps with NO MORE THAN TWO WORDS from the text.
a. OonSoru is the earliest known biryani like dish that originated in ________ ________.

The first Mukti Joddha

Sometimes
history does
not remember
men who have
done great
things. Bir
Uttom Major
Rafique is one such man. He was the first man who wanted to revolt against the
Pakistani forces. He was the first freedom fighter.

“Gather some wood,” Major Rafique send a radio message to all his soldiers.
It may seem like an ordinary message to the Pakistani soldiers but to the Bengali’s it
meant something entirely different. It meant that they should prepare for war. The
soldiers were patiently waiting for the next instruction.
Major Rafique was standing on a hill in Chittagong that night. He was lost in his own
thoughts.
Major Rafique thought to himself. “Am I trying to do the impossible?”
His thoughts were interrupted as an auto-rickshaw climbed up the hill and was moving
towards him. The auto-rickshaw stopped and two army officers came down from it- one
of them was Lt. Colonel M.R. Chowdhury. He immediately recognized who they are.
Major Rafique greeted them and they moved under a tree nearby.
“You should not do anything now,” the Colonel told him in a low voice.
“Why?” Major Rafique enquired.
“They won’t do anything serious against us. But if you take any action now, you are
going to ruin everything.”
Major Rafique picked up his radio and told his men to cancel what he said before- to
stop gathering wood.
“Aren’t you wrongly trusting them?”, Major Rafique asked. “They will betray your trust.”
“Even so the extreme steps you are prepared for cannot be taken merely on
guesswork,” said the Colonel.

Unit 6 56
“But they are killing our people,” Major Rafique made one final attempt to win the
colonel. “You are just giving them the opportunity to hit us first.”
“Do not worry. They are not going that far.” The colonel assured.
Within only twenty-four hours new history was in the making. That was the night of
March 25, 1971. One of the two officers, Lt. Colonel M.R. Chowdhury, was killed by the
Pakistan Army inside Chittagong cantonment.

b. became the biggest competitors of each other

Brotherly Love??
Adidas and Puma have been two of the biggest names in sports shoe manufacturing for over half
a century.
Since 1928 they have supplied shoes for Olympic athletes, World Cup-winning football heroes,
Muhammad Ali, hip-hop stars and rock musicians who are famous all over the world. But the story
of these two companies begins in one house in a small town in Germany.
Adolph and Rudolph Dassler were the sons of a shoemaker. They loved sport but complained that
they could never find comfortable shoes to play
in. Rudolph always said ‘you cannot play sports
wearing shoes that you’d walk around town
with’. So, they started making their own. In 1920
Adolph made the first pair of athletic shoes with
spikes, produced on the Dasslers’ kitchen table.
On 1st July 1924 they formed a shoe company,
Dassler Brothers Ltd. The company became
successful and it provided the shoes for
Germany’s athletes at the 1928 and 1932
Olympic Games.

65 Unit 7
But in 1948 the brothers argued. No one knows exactly what happened but family members have
suggested that the argument was about money or women. The result was that Adolph left the
company. His nickname was Adi and using the first three letters of the family names, Dassler, he
founded Adidas.
Rudolph relocated across the river Aurach and founded his own company too. At first, he wanted
to call it Ruda, but he eventually called it Puma, after the wild cat. The famous Puma logo of
jumping cat has survived until now.
After the big split of 1948 Adolph and Rudolph never spoke to each other again. Since then their
companies have been in competition. Both companies were for many years the market leaders,
though Adidas has always been more successful than Puma. By the 1970s new companies like
Nike and Reebok arrived to rival them.
The terrible family argument should really be forgotten, but ever since it happened, over fifty
years ago, the town has been split onto two. Even now, some Adidas employees and Puma
employees don’t talk to each other.

07 Match the names with appropriate statements. Write A or B.

1. always said that it was impossible to play sports wearing the same shoes you wear to
walk around.
2. made the first pair of sports shoes. A. Adolf
3. left Dassler Brothers Ltd to start his own company. B. Rudolph

Reading

03 Read the passage quickly and decide which statement is true about this
passage.
a. It’s about cowboys of Hollywood.
b. It’s about modern-day cowboys.
Twenty-first century cowboys
Cowboys have always had a romantic image. When
people first watched Hollywood films, being a cowboy
wasn’t a job. It was a life of adventure, freedom,
horses. It was a classic symbol of the United States of
America. In reality, the real American cowboys have
lived and worked here in the west and south-west of
the United States for over three centuries, long before
Hollywood. The adventure and romance have
disappeared but the hard work and long hours are the
same as they’ve always been.
No one knows how many cowboys are still
working. Maybe between ten and fifty
thousand. It’s also difficult to define a twenty-
first century cowboy. Surely it can’t be the big
cattle owners who do business with a seventy
billion-dollar beef industry? These modern
ranches use the latest technology and employ
accountants. But even some of the old
traditional cattle ranches make more money
nowadays by offering holidays to tourists; people come and stay for a holiday and live the
cowboy’s life (or a Hollywood version of it).
But even with technology and Hollywood romance, real cowboys still do the same job
they have done for years. The cattle still need to walk across huge plains and eat grass
many miles from the ranch. And so,
cowboys ride on horses to bring them
home. Cowboys work in the middle of
nowhere, in a place where you can’t make
a phone call because mobile phones don’t
work. Like the cowboys of the past, twenty-
first century cowboys still get up early on
freezing cold mornings and make breakfast
over an open fire. There is no Monday to
Friday, weekends off or paid holidays.
So why do men – because it is usually men
– choose this life? Pat Crisswell had a good
job with the government. He made good money but he didn’t like the city. He wanted to
do something different. So, one day, he gave up his job and moved to a ranch in Texas,
earning much less as a cowboy. He remembers his work colleagues in the city on the day
he left. They all thought Pat was crazy. But he wanted job satisfaction more than money.

75 Unit 8
Two brothers – Tyrel and Blaine Tucker – have lived
on ranches and worked with cows since they were
children. Their mother had a ranch in Wyoming. Last
winter, they looked after 2,300 cows. Every day from
December until April, they rode across nearly 100,000
acres of land with only the cattle, the horses, and each
other for company. Eighteen-year-old Tyrel Tucker
says, ‘It was fun. You get to be by yourself.’
Blaine has a large moustache and Tyrel is growing his.
They wear traditional cowboy clothes with the famous
hat and boots. You could do the same job in a baseball
cap and a truck but Tyrel and Blaine prefer the traditional cowboy culture: ‘It’s a real life
about you, your horse and the open country.’

04 Do the following statements agree with the claims of the writer in the passage.
Write YES / NO.
a. The image of cowboys created by Hollywood is very much different from the real
cowboys.
b. It is not easy to determine what being a modern cowboy means.
c. The cowboys work in some distant areas where mobile phone network may not be

d. People sometimes choose to be cowboys because they want something different in
their life.
e. All modern cowboys need to wear the traditional cowboy outfit while they are working.
