SECTION I

(READING COMPREHENSION )

(Q. No. 1-10) Read the following passage from the lesson “True Height”

From the age of fourteen, Michael did just that. He began a very careful and regimented weightlifting programme. He worked out every other day with weights, with some kind of running work on alternate days. The programme was carefully monitored by Michael’s coach, trainer and father. Michael’s dedication, determination and discipline was a coach’s dream. Besides being an honest

student, Michael Stone continued to help his parents with their farm chores. Michael’s persistence in striving for perfection was not only his obsession but his passion. Mildred Stone, Michael’s mother, wished that he could relax a bit more and be that ‘free dreaming’ little boy. On one occasion she attempted to talk to him and his father about this, but his dad quickly interrupted, smiled and said, “You

want something, work for it!” All of Michael’s vaults today seemed to be the reward for his hard work. If Michael Stone was surprised, thrilled or arrogant about clearing the bar at 17 feet ,you couldn’t tell. As soon as he landed on the inflated landing mat, and with the

crowd on its feet, Michael immediately began preparing for his next attempt at flight. He seemed oblivious of the fact that he had just surpassed his personal best by three inches and that he was one of the final two competitors in the pole vaulting event at the National Junior Olympics.

Michael cleared the bar at 17 feet and 2 inches and 17 feet 4 inches; again showed no emotion. Constant preparation and determination were his vision As he lay on his back and heard the crowd groan, he knew the other vaulter has missed his final jump. He knew it was time for his final jump. Since the other vaulter had fewer misses, Michael needed to clear this vault to win. A miss would get him second place. Nothing to be ashamed of, but Michael would not allow himself the thought of not winning first place. He rolled over and did his ritual of three finger-tipped push-ups. He found his pole, stood and stepped on the runway that led to the most challenging event of his seventeen year-old life.
