“You were right, Colonel!” the host exclaims. “A man has just shown us an example of perfect control.” “Just a minute,” the American says, turning to his hostess. “Mrs Wynnes, how did you know that cobra was in the room?” A faint smile lights up the woman’s face as she replies: “Because it was crawling across my foot.”

7. Read the following passage carefully and answer any FOUR questions given after it in a word or sentence each: 4 x 1 = 4
Forget and Forgive- LIve life
Man gets and forgets: God gives and forgives; thus goes a saying.
Once, a godlike four-year-old child showed the way. The girl was at the dining table, listening intently to her father admonishing her. When he took a long pause, she asked politely, “Dad, if you have finished, may I say something?” Even while being scolded, she maintained her poise. Her patient listening and her poise teach us life’s lessons as well, or even better than the scriptures do. Think of any adult in that situation and the probable response. Can anyone be anywhere near that girl in her attitude? We all like to be liked, no doubt. But can we order fond feelings from others? Patience, forgiveness, love, etc are some valuable qualities that help us live in peace, be liked and more importantly, help us give and yet forgive others – a sure way to spread true happiness all around.
Answer the following questions.
1. What are the attributes of man, according to the saying?
2. What was the girl doing while her father was scolding her?
3. What qualities in that girl teach us life’s lesson?
4. According to the passage, there are many adults like that girl. Say true or false.
5. Does the writer say that fond feelings can be ordered from others?
6. What is the sure way for spreading happiness all around?
