Part – A : Reading Test (HSC English 1st Paper Model Test 04 )

01.Read the passage and answer the questions A and B.

In a traditional society like ours, little boys and girls are given separate sets of toys. While toys for boys include cars, guns or footballs, girls have to be satisfied with dolls (often Barbie dolls) and doll-houses or miniature cooking utensils. The underlying assumption is that boys are active and full of vigour, but girls are naive and lack the intelligence or energy to match their male counterparts.
This false assumption has been shattered plenty of times in the recent decades as girls began to show their power and women began competing with men in almost all areas of life. It has been conclusively proved wrong most recently by the girls of Kalsindur, a village in a remote area in Dhobaura upazila in Mymensingh district. The villagers are mostly low-income but hardworking people. Even a few years ago, there was no electricity in the village. But some girls have illuminated the village – both literally and metaphorically – with their belief in themselves and their skill in the game of football. The village has emerged now as a footballer factory and a symbol of girl power. And in recognition of their success, the village was provided electricity by the government.
The success of Kalsindur girls reads like an epic. They started their journey with practically nothing. They didn’t have any boots or jerseys to wear. Initially, they played wearing salwar and kamij. They also suffered from malnutrition. What made them win against all adversities then? What was the magic behind? Mohammad Mafiz Uddin was an assistant teacher at Kalsindur Government Free Primary School where Minati Rani Sheel was the head teacher. They observed the girls’ interests in football and decided to help. It was however not that easy. Girls playing football is still not a common picture in Bangladesh. Guardians were not convinced as they were used to seeing girls helping mothers with household chores.
Now people realise what their golden girls could bring for them. “When these girls go from one place to another, even the auto-rickshaw pullers don’t take any fare from them as they are the pride of the village. It’s a small token of recognition but it’s great! ,” says Mala Rani Sarkar, the Team Manager of Kalisindur Women’s Football Team.

02.Read the passage and complete the table below with the given information.

The history of Bengal is the history of people who have repeatedly made their highways crimson red with their blood. We shed blood for language in 1952; even though we were the victors in the elections of 1954 we could not form a government then. In 1958, Ayub Khan declared Martial Law to enslave us for the next ten years. In 1966, when we launched the Six Point Movement, our boys were shot dead on 7 June. After the movement of 1969, Ayub Khan fell from power and Yahya Khan assumed the reins of the government. He declared that he would give us a constitution and restore democracy; we listened to him then. A lot has happened since and elections have taken place.

One day, Kamal invited me and a few of our friends to accompany him to Savar, where Bangabandhu was scheduled to speak in a couple of public meetings. We agreed readily. Once again, he regaled us on the way and back with his lively presence, chatting, joking and singing. We also had the opportunity to hear Bangabandhu speak on this occasion. With his golden voice, eloquence, gift for rhetoric and making complex things clear with vivid images and passionate arguments, Bangabandhu stirred us all. It was another day with Kamal that I would treasure.
One other day that I will treasure forever was sometime in 1970, when the Bengalees were gearing up for the National Assembly elections. Kamal had taken me and a few other friends to his Road no. 32 house for chatting, or what we in Bangla call adda, when Kamal suddenly had the idea of introducing us to his father. He was in another part of the house with other people, probably discussing election strategy, but he had time to greet us. I remember him waving affectionately, warmth for Kamal’s friends written all over his smiling face.
