1 We moved into the jungle. Old Mali, my guide went in front
carrying an axe and I followed close behind him. The path was
covered over with branches and bushes. I had no idea where I was.

2 We stopped for the night. We put our bags on the ground in a
small clearing near the stream. The guide lit a fire. When it was
burning, he showed me how to make a bed with soft moss. Then he
helped me make my bed on the other side of the fire. It was soft and
comfortable.

3 'This bed is more comfortable than my bed at home,' I said.
Old Mali just laughed quietly in reply.
'We need enough wood to keep the fire going all night,’ he said. I
jumped up quickly. ‘I will help you,' I replied.

4 We went off into the jungle to collect as much wood as
possible. The guide said that we must have some large pieces of
wood. They last longer and the fire must burn all night. We must
have a fire to keep away any animals that come near. All animals
are afraid of fire, aren't they?'

5 It was almost dark by the time we finished. We put the huge
pile of wood beside Old Mali’s bed so that he could reach it easily
during the night. He would be able to pick up the wood and put it on
the fire without getting out of bed.

6 When we finished our supper, the guide got onto his bed and
lay down. It was now completely dark. In the firelight Old Mali
seemed to be fast asleep on his bed. I suddenly felt alone and
afraid. I wished he would wake up and share my loneliness.

As soon as I closed my eyes, I heard a thousand noises. The whole
jungle became alive with animals creeping all around me. I opened
my eyes and jumped out of bed, I pulled my knife out and held it
above my head. I was sure I was going to see a wild jackal beside
the fire. All I saw was the guide who was now lying on his side with
his eyes wide open.

8 'You can put your knife away now,' he said quietly. ‘It is time to
go to sleep, isn't it? You have a long day ahead of you tomorrow.'
Old Mali's calm voice made me feel better. I got back into bed and
lay down. I closed my eyes and, knowing he was watching, I soon
fell fast asleep.

Why do you think old Mali carried an axe?
Why did they collect some large pieces of wood?
What did the writer do when he heard noises of the animals?


answer all questions first read the passagee answer me fastly

Answer:

Old Mali carried an axe to chop the woods.

They collected large pieces of wood so as to sustain them through the night. The large pieces of wood burn longer and it keeps the animals away as well as keeping them warm all night long.

The writer jumped out of bed in fright and pulled out a knife to protect himself.

There is Missouri at this moment, with Illinois on the east and Nebraska on the west, all covering nearly the same spaces of latitude, and resembling each other in soil, climate, and productions. Mark now the contrast! By the potent efficacy of the ordinance of the Northwestern Territory, Illinois is now a free State, while Missouri has 87,422 slaves; and the simple question which challenges an answer is, whether Nebraska shall be preserved in the condition of Illinois, or surrendered to that of Missouri? Surely this cannot be treated lightly. But for myself, I am unwilling to measure the exigency of the prohibition by the number of persons, whether many or few, whom it may protect. Human rights, whether in a vast multitude or a solitary individual, are entitled to an equal and unhesitating support.


Sir, the proposition before you involves not merely the repeal of an existing law, but the infraction of solemn obligations originally proposed and assumed by the South, after a protracted and embittered contest, as a covenant of peace—with regard to certain specified territory therein described, namely: "All that territory ceded by France to the United States, under the name of Louisiana;" according to which, in consideration of the admission into the Union of Missouri as a slave State, slavery was forever prohibited in all the remaining part of this territory which lies north of 36° 30'. . . . In its stipulations for slavery, it was justly repugnant to the conscience of the North, and ought never to have been made; but it has on that side been performed. And now the unperformed outstanding obligations to freedom, originally proposed and assumed by the South, are resisted.


–The Landmark of Freedom. Speech of Hon. Charles Sumner, Against the Repeal of the Missouri Prohibition of Slavery North of 36° 30’,

in the Senate, February 21, 1854


Each of the following was a consequence of the Kansas-Nebraska Act EXCEPT.

A. Believes in matching fashion to music.

B. Is hoping to find romance at Dance Free.

C. Plans to get a lot of exercise.

D. Cares a lot about first impressions.

Paragraph: He used to go to this church in Harvard Square every Wednesday night for something called “Dance Free.” They had flashing lights and booming speakers and Morrie would wander in among the mostly student crowd, wearing a white T-shirt and black sweatpants and a towel around his neck, and whatever music was playing, that’s the music to which he danced. He’d do the lindy to Jimi Hendrix. He twisted and twirled, he waved his arms like a conductor on amphetamines, until the sweat was dripping down the middle of his back. No one there knew he was a prominent doctor of sociology, with years of experience as a college professor and several well-respected books. They just thought he was some old nut.

The Metamorphosis
by Franz Kafka (excerpt)

The flight of the chief clerk seemed, unfortunately, to put Gregor's father into a panic as well. Until then he had been relatively self controlled, but now, instead of running after the chief clerk himself, or at least not impeding Gregor as he ran after him, Gregor's father seized the chief clerk's stick in his right hand (the chief clerk had left it behind on a chair, along with his hat and overcoat), picked up a large newspaper from the table with his left, and used them to drive Gregor back into his room, stamping his foot at him as he went. Gregor's appeals to his father were of no help, his appeals were simply not understood, however much he humbly turned his head his father merely stamped his foot all the harder. Across the room, despite the chilly weather, Gregor's mother had pulled open a window, leant far out of it and pressed her hands to her face. A strong draught of air flew in from the street towards the stairway, the curtains flew up, the newspapers on the table fluttered and some of them were blown onto the floor. Nothing would stop Gregor’s father as he drove him back, making hissing noises at him like a wild man. Gregor had never had any practice in moving backwards and was only able to go very slowly. If Gregor had only been allowed to turn round he would have been back in his room straight away, but he was afraid that if he took the time to do that his father would become impatient, and there was the threat of a lethal blow to his back or head from the stick in his father's hand any moment.
