Passage for Reading & Comprehension: "Father, there is no college in our village or any other village around ours. The only college where I can go is 50 miles away, in the city. It seems impossible that I can continue my studies although I had dreamed that I would become a doctor and open a hospital here for the villagers, as they cannot afford to go to the city hospital. Remember, how Uncle Sarmad died last year only because he could not be taken to the hospital on time?" Jameel said.

His mother quoted a Sindhi couplet which meant 'Where there is a will there is a way. Distances are to be covered.' She then said, "We can ask Allah Bachayo, to take you to the city in his horse cart."

Aunt Sadori, who had been listening to the whole conversation said, "I have a suggestion. You people have done so much for me, I think now it's my turn to return the favour. Jameel and Sara can easily come and live with me in the city and study in the college."

"Really! Can I really go and study in the city?" Sara exclaimed.

"Jameel can go but Sara should stay here and help her mother," said father.

Sara quickly wiped the tear that had rolled down her cheek. She didn't want her father to know her feelings. However, Khalid noticed her emotions and said, "Father, don't worry about the expenses. Let both of them go."

Passage for Reading & Comprehension: Dr Martin Luther King Jr.'s 'I Have a Dream' is one of the most powerful speeches in history, delivered during the March on Washington in 1963. In it, King passionately speaks against racial segregation, discrimination, and inequality faced by African Americans in the United States. He reminds the audience that, despite the promises of the American Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, Black citizens are still denied freedom and justice.

King's central vision is a dream of equality, where people are judged not by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.

With references to American ideals, the Bible and the natural right to freedom, he emphasizes that justice must no longer be delayed. His speech calls for peaceful struggle, non-violence, and perseverance until freedom rings across the nation.

Explanation

Passage: Accordingly to Aristotle, the most important question in the physical world was the search for happiness. He was not an idealist preaching impossible ideals and counsels of perfection. His scientific training made him a realist who believed that happiness was the aim of life and every activity, even ethics, was subordinate to It. He tries to explore the nature of happiness and explains it by differentiating man from other animals in that he possesses the thinking faculty by which he masters the earth and surpasses all living beings and Its development will give him fulfillment and happiness. The chief condition of happiness is the life of reason which is man's glory and power, and the way to it is the golden mean. Courage, liberality, ambition, modesty, honesty, good humor, friendship and self-control are all qualities expressive of the golden mean since they avoid extremes and conduce to the best result. This golden mean is not rigid but changes with every situation and it is discoverable to mature reason and is learnt by training and habituation. Excellence is not an act but a habit of action, a continuous effort and the working of the soul for a complete life. Youth is the period of extremes when the golden mean is scorned and the brave man is condemned both by the rash and the cowardly. Friendship is the best asset as it increases happiness. Politics is not necessary as it depends on the public which is fickle. True happiness comes from within as the qualities of self- sufficiency, unweariedness and capacity for rest belong to the mind.

1. In this paragraph _____? Aristotle tries to explore the nature of happiness

3. What makes a man happy? Reasonableness
