Reading MCQ Worksheet 2

   

1. Read the passage given below and complete the summary by filling in the appropriate word. Supply only one word for each blank.

 

                                                                     A FAITHFUL CREATURE

The best friend of man in this world may turn against him and become his enemy. His son or his daughter, whom he has reared with loving care, may prove ungrateful. Those who are nearest and dearest to us, those whom we trust without doubt, may become traitors. The money that a man has, he may lose. It flies away from him perhaps when he needs it most. A man’s reputation may be sacrificed in a moment of ill-considered action. The people who are prone to fall on their knees to do us honour when success is with us, may be the first to throw stone of malice when failure settles its cloud upon our heads. The one absolutely unselfish friend that man can have in this selfish world, the one that never deserts him, the one that never proves ungrateful or treacherous is his dog.

 

When riches take wings and reputation falls to pieces, he is as constant in his love, as the sun in its journey through the heavens. If circumstances render you friendless, homeless, the faithful dog asks no higher privilege than that of accompanying you to guard against danger, to fight against your enemies.

Friendship Poem

Friendship Poem

The Gift of Knowing You

There are gifts of many treasures

For both the young and old,

From the tiniest little trinkets

To great boxes filled with gold.

 

But, put them all together

And they could not stand in lieu,

Of the greatest gift of all

The gift of knowing you.

 

When your times are filled with troubles

Sadness, grief, or even doubt,

When all those things you planned on

Just aren’t turning out.

 

Just turn and look behind you

From the place at which you stand,

And look for me through the shadows,

And reach out for my hand.

 

I will lift from you your burden

And cry for you your tears,

Bear the pain of all your sorrows

Though it may be for a thousand years.

For in the end I would be happy

To have helped you start anew,

It’s a small price to pay

For the gift of knowing you.
