1. Read the following passage:
(8 : His first flight – Liam O’Flaherty)
“Ge, ga, ga,” he cried, begging her to bring him some food. “Gaw-ool-ah,” she screamed back. He kept calling. and after a minute or so, he uttered a joyful scream. His mother had picked up a piece of fish and was flying across to him with it. But when she was just opposite to him, she halted, her wings motionless. The piece of fish in her beak was almost within reach of his beak. He waited a moment in surprise, wondering why she did not come nearer. And then, maddened by hunger, he dived at the fish.
With a loud scream he fell outwards and downwards into space. The terror seized him and his heart stood still, But it only lasted a moment. The next moment he felt his wings spread outwards. The wind rushed against his breast feathers, then under the stomach and against his wings. He could feel the tips of his wings cutting through the air. He was not falling headlong now. He was soaring gradually downwards and outwards. He was no longer afraid. Then he flapped his wings once and he soared upwards. He uttered a joyous scream and flapped them again. He soared higher. His mother flew past him, her wings making a loud noise. He answered her with another scream. Then his father flew over him, screaming. Then he saw his two brothers and his sister flying around him.

(6 : Mild the Mist upon the Hill – Emily Jane Bronte)
Oh, I’m gone back to the days of youth,

And ‘neath my father’s sheltering roof, And near the old hall door.
I watch this cloudy evening fall,
After a day of rain:
Blue mists, sweet mists of summer pall
The horizon’s mountain-chain.

As thick as morning’s tears;
And dreamy scents of fragrance pass
That breathe of other years.
