Read the following passage and use it to answer questions 26-35

It happened in the gym one afternoon. Mr. Skinner, the gym teacher, was talking to a group of boys near the long ropes that dangled from the ceiling. “This is the last time this year that we are going to try to beat the school record,” he said, “and I hope one of you will do it. You have sometimes come very close to do it. You must try a little bit harder.” The boys knew exactly what he meant. The school record stood at 2.1 seconds for climbing 15 metres from standing start. Bob had done it once in 2.5 seconds, Dick in 2.4 seconds, Jerry in 2.6 seconds and Ronny in 2.2 seconds. But no one, so far, had even equalled the record.

“Ready!” called Mr, Skinner, stopwatch in hand. “Bob first. One, two, three, go!” Leaping as high as he could, Bob grabbed the rope and shot up faster than a monkey. He touched the board at the 15-metres mark, then slid down again and waited anxiously to hear the result, “Just under 2.4 seconds,” said Mr. Skinner. “Good try, Bob, but it’s not quite good enough. Let’s see what Dick can do.” Dick leaped at the rope and flew up and down again in less time than it takes to tell of it. But he too was not fast enough. “Exactly 2.3 seconds,” said Mr. Skinner “Now Jerry.”

Jerry tried hard too, but didn’t do any better than he had before. “Well, Ronny, it’s up to you,” said Mr. Skinner. “All our hopes are on you now.” By this time a crowd of boys had drifted into the gym. All the school had heard about the rope contest and how near a few of the best climbers were, to breaking the record. Now they pressed close to see what Ronny would do this time. Ronny wanted to beat the record more than anyone there could guess. He wasn’t the best of students, He never got good grades, but he could climb a rope. And he thought that maybe this could be one way in which he could bring honour to the school he loved so much. “Are you ready, Ronny? asked Mr. Skinner. “Ready,” said Ronny. “One, two, three, go!”

With a gleam on his eye and a grim look on his face, Ronny leaped at the rope. Hand over hand, he sped to the top. A moment later he was sliding down again. “Two seconds!” Shouted Mr. Skinner excitedly. “Well done, my boy! Well done!” A cheer went up all over the gym. Ronny had beaten the record. “But Mr. Skinner,” Ronny said. “There is something I have to tell you.” “What is it Ronny?” asked Mr. Skinner. All the boys leaned forward to hear what Ronny had to say. “I’m afraid | didn’t touch the marker. I missed it by about an half inch.”

Only a half inch! And nobody has seen. Not even Mr. Skinner. It would have been so easy for Ronny to have let everyone think he had touched the marker. But though it meant losing the record, Ronny wouldn’t purposely mislead the others. Mr. Skinner took him by the hand and looked him straight in the eye. “I’m proud of you, Ronny, he said. “More proud than you will ever know. You have brought more glory to your school today by your honesty than you could by your rope climbing.” “By this time all the boys were crowding around wondering what would happen. “Didn’t he break the record?” several asked. “No,” said Mr. Skinner. He climbed in two seconds, but he failed to touch the marker by half an inch. He is disqualified,”

There were groans all over the gym. “What a shame!” cried some. “Why didn’t you keep your mouth shut, Ronny?” said others. Mr. Skinner blew his whistle. As silence fell, he said, “Because of my inaccuracy, I am going to give Ronny one more chance.” Cheers rang out again, with shouts of, “Do it this time Ronny!” Ronny stepped to the rope. “Take an extra-high leap,” Mr. Skinner said. Up went Ronny, faster than ever his hand hitting the marker so everyone could see it, Down he came, like a streak of lightning. “Magnificent!” cried Mr. Skinner, clapping Ronny on the back. “You did it in 1.9 seconds and broke the record all to pieces!”

What is the setting of the story?

Let’s see what Dick can do.” Dick leaped at the rope and flew up and down again in less time than it takes to tell of it. But he too was not fast enough. “Exactly 2.3 seconds,” said Mr. Skinner “Now Jerry.”

Jerry tried hard too, but didn’t do any better than he had before. “Well, Ronny, it’s up to you,” said Mr. Skinner. “All our hopes are on you now.” By this time a crowd of boys had drifted into the gym. All the school had heard about the rope contest and how near a few of the best climbers were, to breaking the record. Now they pressed close to see what Ronny would do this time. Ronny wanted to beat the record more than anyone there could guess. He wasn’t the best of students, He never got good grades, but he could climb a rope. And he thought that maybe this could be one way in which he could bring honour to the school he loved so much. “Are you ready, Ronny? asked Mr. Skinner. “Ready,” said Ronny. “One, two, three, go!”

With a gleam on his eye and a grim look on his face, Ronny leaped at the rope. Hand over hand, he sped to the top. A moment later he was sliding down again. “Two seconds!” Shouted Mr. Skinner excitedly. “Well done, my boy! Well done!” A cheer went up all over the gym. Ronny had beaten the record. “But Mr. Skinner,” Ronny said. “There is something I have to tell you.” “What is it Ronny?” asked Mr. Skinner. All the boys leaned forward to hear what Ronny had to say. “I’m afraid | didn’t touch the marker. I missed it by about an half inch.”

Only a half inch! And nobody has seen. Not even Mr. Skinner. It would have been so easy for Ronny to have let everyone think he had touched the marker. But though it meant losing the record, Ronny wouldn’t purposely mislead the others. Mr. Skinner took him by the hand and looked him straight in the eye. “I’m proud of you, Ronny, he said. “More proud than you will ever know. You have brought more glory to your school today by your honesty than you could by your rope climbing.” “By this time all the boys were crowding around wondering what would happen. “Didn’t he break the record?” several asked. “No,” said Mr. Skinner. He climbed in two seconds, but he failed to touch the marker by half an inch. He is disqualified,”

There were groans all over the gym. “What a shame!” cried some. “Why didn’t you keep your mouth shut, Ronny?” said others. Mr. Skinner blew his whistle. As silence fell, he said, “Because of my inaccuracy, I am going to give Ronny one more chance.” Cheers rang out again, with shouts of, “Do it this time Ronny!” Ronny stepped to the rope. “Take an extra-high leap,” Mr. Skinner said. Up went Ronny, faster than ever his hand hitting the marker so everyone could see it, Down he came, like a streak of lightning. “Magnificent!” cried Mr. Skinner, clapping Ronny on the back. “You did it in 1.9 seconds and broke the record all to pieces!”

When Ronny confessed that he had not touched the marker, what character trait did he portray?

It happened in the gym one afternoon. Mr. Skinner, the gym teacher, was talking to a group of boys near the long ropes that dangled from the ceiling. “This is the last time this year that we are going to try to beat the school record,” he said, “and I hope one of you will do it. You have sometimes come very close to do it. You must try a little bit harder.” The boys knew exactly what he meant. The school record stood at 2.1 seconds for climbing 15 metres from standing start. Bob had done it once in 2.5 seconds, Dick in 2.4 seconds, Jerry in 2.6 seconds and Ronny in 2.2 seconds. But no one, so far, had even equalled the record.

“Ready!” called Mr, Skinner, stopwatch in hand. “Bob first. One, two, three, go!” Leaping as high as he could, Bob grabbed the rope and shot up faster than a monkey.

With a gleam on his eye and a grim look on his face, Ronny leaped at the rope. Hand over hand, he sped to the top. A moment later he was sliding down again. “Two seconds!” Shouted Mr. Skinner excitedly. “Well done, my boy! Well done!” A cheer went up all over the gym. Ronny had beaten the record. “But Mr. Skinner,” Ronny said. “There is something I have to tell you.” “What is it Ronny?” asked Mr. Skinner. All the boys leaned forward to hear what Ronny had to say. “I’m afraid | didn’t touch the marker. I missed it by about an half inch.”

John raced home as fast as he could, knowing that Pete’s delay had made him even later than usual. When he burst through the door and found Mama all dressed up on her Sunday clothes, waiting for her, he was so surprised to see her that way on a week day that he forgot to worry about his tobacco breath.

“Where have you been?” demanded Mama. “I have been waiting and waiting. I want you to take care of Sigurd for me while I go to see Mrs. Lavine.” John could see that mama was nervous about something. She straightened her hat and picked a piece of lint off her coat.

“I shouldn't be too long,” she added. "You may give Sigurd a cookie and have one yourself.” “Sure,” said John, picking up his two year old brother and walking to the pantry while mama went out the door. He got a cookie for Sigurd and himself and then returned to the living room. Putting Sigurd down on the floor, he knelt in front of him so that their eyes were on the same level.

“Sigurd, don’t ever smoke,” he said. “It tastes terrible. The first time you try it you cough something awful, and the second time is almost as bad. Then you kind of get used to it, and it doesn’t taste terrible anymore. You hate it and love it at the same time. It’s awful--you want to quit and you don’t want to at the same time. Don’t ever start, Sigurd, okay?”

Sigurd chewed his cookie solemnly while he looked at his big brother. John did not usually pay so much attention to him, and he loved it. “Come on, let’s go find a piece of onion,” John said. “I can’t let anybody around here smll my tobacco breath. Not finding any onions John led Sigurd outside and picked some leaves of an Alder tree, chewed them, and spit them out. Maybe it would help. He hoped so. What a terrible incumberment smoking was! He was determined to quit.

Now Marvin was demanding that he contribute his share of tobacco, but he had no way of doing this. Hilda asked God for what she needed, but he knew he couldn’t pray for something like tobacco. Besides, maybe there wasn’t a God, if Mr. Williams was right. He just had settled into the rocker with Sigurd on his knees when the girls burst into the house, all smiles.

“Guess what!” squealed Lois. “Pastor Jensen is letting us play the church piano after school. It’s so fun!” “I love it!” exclaimed Hilda, with sparkling eyes. “I can play ‘Jesus Loves Me’ with one finger, and I’m teaching it to Lois.” John wished he could be as happy as they were.
 
They heard someone at the door: It was Mama, and her face was wreathed in smiles, too. “Where have you been?” chorused the girls. “You will never guess,” said Mama, carefully taking off her hat. Her eyes were twinkling. “Tell us!” cried Lois, running to her. “I’ve been to Mrs Levine’s house.” “You mean the lady that plays the piano at church?” asked Lois. “Did she say we couldn'’t....?”

Mama shook her head. “She said she would give you piano lessons, Hilda, if I clean her “Oh, Mamal That’s just wonderful!” cried Hilda. She ran to her and gave her a hug. “And when you learn, you can teach me!” exclaimed Lois excitedly, trying to hug them both. John felt a little envious. There was no way he was going to hug anybody today, except maybe Sigurd, who didn’t know how to say “tobacco” yet.

John raced home as fast as he could, knowing that Pete’s delay had made him even later than usual. When he burst through the door and found Mama all dressed up on her Sunday clothes, waiting for her, he was so surprised to see her that way on a week day that he forgot to worry about his tobacco breath.

“Where have you been?” demanded Mama. “I have been waiting and waiting. I want you to take care of Sigurd for me while I go to see Mrs. Lavine.” John could see that mama was nervous about something. She straightened her hat and picked a piece of lint off her coat.

“I shouldn't be too long,” she added. "You may give Sigurd a cookie and have one yourself.” “Sure,” said John, picking up his two year old brother and walking to the pantry while mama went out the door. He got a cookie for Sigurd and himself and then returned to the living room. Putting Sigurd down on the floor, he knelt in front of him so that their eyes were on the same level.

“Sigurd, don’t ever smoke,” he said. “It tastes terrible. The first time you try it you cough something awful, and the second time is almost as bad. Then you kind of get used to it, and it doesn’t taste terrible anymore. You hate it and love it at the same time. It’s awful--you want to quit and you don’t want to at the same time. Don’t ever start, Sigurd, okay?”

Sigurd chewed his cookie solemnly while he looked at his big brother. John did not usually pay so much attention to him, and he loved it. “Come on, let’s go find a piece of onion,” John said. “I can’t let anybody around here smll my tobacco breath. Not finding any onions John led Sigurd outside and picked some leaves of an Alder tree, chewed them, and spit them out. Maybe it would help. He hoped so. What a terrible incumberment smoking was! He was determined to quit.

Early in the morning, I see you smiling.

Later in the noon, I see you shining.

When evening comes, your fainting rays cheerfully wave, ‘goodbye’.

Gone below the sky.

Gone where no one can spy!                                                                                      5

Oh! How you are so generous!

You are the light of this world by day.

You are the “Mother Teresa” of nature.

So kind and good natured.

i wonder how God made you, Sun!                                                                           10

Like a torch suspended in the sky, you hang,

Giving ‘Mother Earth’ light.

Giving this world heat.

Giving us warmth.

I wonder how God created the sun!                                                                         15
