Section-A Comprehension Passage.

A Courteous Girl

Nkechi was now old enough to go to school by herself. On this particular day, the bus
stop was crowded but Nkechi got a seat. Many people stood inside the bus, hoping to get
seats as people alighted. As the bus moved on, Nkechi noticed three people who were
standing: a heavily pregnant woman, an old woman and another woman with a baby. Nkechi
knew she had given up her seat for one of these people. She was still a very strong young
girl. She had also been taught to show courtesy and be nice to people. The question on her
mind was, “who amongst these people should she give up her seat for?”

At last, Nkechi decided the woman who was heavily pregnant should have her seat.
“Excuse me ma, you may please have my seat,” Nkechi said. The woman was very happy and
felt relieved. “Thank you, my daughter,” she said as she lowered herself into the seat. Other
people in the bus saw what Nkechi did. They liked it and two other people also offered their
seats to the old woman and the woman with the baby. Nkechi was happy when the bus
driver asked her not to pay her fare. When she alighted from the bus, all passengers clapped

Dolphins – Intelligent and Friendly Animals.

Dolphins are very intelligent and interesting aquatic animals. They feed mostly on fish
and squid but some of them also feed on large mammals such as seals. Dolphins live in
water. In order to prevent drowning while sleeping, only half of the dolphin’s brain goes to
sleep. The other half of the brain remains awake, that it can continue to breathe and watch
out for prey.

Dolphins have a very playful behavior. They are very agile. Some species of dolphins are
used for entertainment at water parks. They leap out of the water and then dive back into

Section-A Comprehension Passage.

The Birds in The Field

A mother bird had built her nest in a field of guinea corn. As the corn grew tall, she sat
on her eggs. When the eggs hatched, she flew around busily to find food for her chicks.

“Mother, can we always live like this?” the little birds asked her at night. “The food is
good, the sun is warm, and the guinea corn smells nice when the wind blows through it.”

“No, not forever,” replied the mother bird. “The time will come when the farmer will
harvest the field. We’ll have to leave before then, or the nest will be caught by the blade of
his machete.”

One evening, the young birds were excited when their mother came home. “The farmer!
The farmer!” they all cried at once. “He’s coming to cut down all the corn!”

The largest of the chicks explained, “The farmer and his son were in the field. The
farmer said the corn was ready. He told his son to call their friends and neighbors. He said
they had promised to help him with the harvest.” The chicks looked at their mother
anxiously, but she only laughed.

“There’s no need to worry,” she said, “nothing will happen yet. If he depends on friends
and neighbors, nothing will happen. Tomorrow, we will still be safe.”

Answer all the questions below.

1. Where was the nest? _________________________________________________________________
