park seemed large and threatening. She knew her grandfather would also be anxiously 10

(G) Read the passage and answer the questions in complete sentences.
People who have learnt karate do not have to be armed in order to defend themselves. 1
They are able to fight back against their attackers with their hands, feet, elbows and other
parts of their body, including their head. Masters of karate can even punch through bricks
with their bare hands. However, some people learn karate not just for self-defence but also as
a form of exercise. 5
Karate was originally developed in Okinawa. Years ago, Okinawa was invaded by
Japanese warriors. In order to maintain control over the people, the conquerors forbade the
people from owning any weapons. To protect themselves, the people learnt unarmed
fighting. To make their hands strong, the Okinawans began punching sand. As most of them
were farmers, they also developed ways to use their farm tools as deadly weapons. There 10
were some Chinese living among them who taught them the different vulnerable points on
the body such as the eyes and the spine. The locals then used this knowledge to defend
themselves against their enemies.
For over 300 years, the people in Okinawa continued to practise this method to
effectively defend themselves. Then in 1920, Gichin Funakoshi, an Okinawan, taught karate 15
to the Japanese. Gichin Funakoshi became known as the father of karate. He taught his
students to use karate solely for defence.
A karate student is known as a ‘karate-ka’. The beginners wear white belts. As they
progress through the levels, the colour of the belt changes accordingly. The white belt is
followed by a yellow belt, then a green belt and after that a brown belt. The students have to 20
pass several tests in increasing order of difficulty to wear a belt of a different colour. After
earning the much sought after black belt, a student may become an instructor.
Write down the correct letter for each question.
(1) What can masters of karate do with their bare hands?
A. Build farm tools. B. Punch through bricks.
C. Teach Chinese techniques. D. Use weapons for self-defence. (1) B
(2) What do karate students wear to indicate their progress?
A. Farm tools. B. Colourful headbands.
C. Coloured belts. D. Arm bands. (2) C
Answer the questions in complete sentences.
(3) Why did the conquerors in Okinawa forbid the people from owning weapons?
It was because the conquerors wanted to maintain control over the
people.
(4) What knowledge did the Chinese living in Okinawa share with the locals?
They taught the locals the different vulnerable points on the body such as
eyes and the spine.
Fill in the blanks with words.

(H) Read the story carefully and answer the questions in complete sentences.
The Frog and the Ox 1
An ox, grazing in a meadow, chanced to set his foot among a parcel of young frogs, and
trod one of them to death. His brothers and sisters ran to tell their father what had happened.
‘The monster that did it, Father, was such a size, such a terrible monster!!’ the young
frogs screamed. Father Frog said, ‘That was only Farmer White’s ox. He may be a little bit 5
taller than I. I could easily make myself quite as broad; just you see.’ The father, who was a
vain old thing, thought that he could easily make himself as large.
‘Was it as big as this?’ he asked, blowing and puffing himself out, swelling and
blowing up his speckled belly to a great degree. ‘Oh, much bigger than that,’ replied the
young frogs. ‘As this then?’ cried he, puffing and blowing again with all his might, straining 10
himself yet more and his belly was going to burst. ‘Nay, Father,’ they said. ‘If you were to
try till you burst yourself, you would never be so big.’ The silly old Father Frog took a deep
breath, tried to puff himself out still more, and burst himself indeed.
(1) Which word did the little frogs use to describe the ‘monster’ which made them feel afraid?
The little frogs used terrible to describe the "monster" .
(3) Did Father Frog think the ‘monster’ was bigger than him?
Yes, Father Frog thought the "monster" was bigger than him.
