Section: A READING COMPREHENSION

Q1. Read the paragraph and answer the following questions 15x1=15
What do your dreams mean? 8x1=8

I bet that each and every one of us has had the same dreams: teeth
falling out, walking on air, missing that train, falling, drowning, being
chased, being a king, having lunch with Messi. The list goes on But, have
your dreams been more vivid since the lockdown? Social media and
online forums are awash with stories of vivid dreams and even
nightmares.
Experts are claiming that there is a lot of truth in this phenomenon. People
are sleeping longer and this allows more time for dreaming. In addition,
the more boring your life, the more your night time brain activity tries to
recompense and the more exciting your dreams become.
However, what do those dreams mean?
Experts refute that dreams can predict events, but they can help us
interpret our feelings. The events in dreams are symbolic. For example,
missing that train might indicate that you are feeling left behind, or simply
that you are anxious. Walking on air shows that you feel invincible and
(1)
 capable of anything. If you dream that your teeth are falling our or
crumbling, you have bitten
often more than you can chew. Slow down and do less!
Dreaming of natural disasters - earthquakes, tsunamis and volcanic
eruptions can be intense and terrifying. They show that you are feeling
frightened by events outside of your control, like the coronavirus.
It is worthwhile to try and decipher your dreams, as this can help you
interpret your feelings. One way to do this is by association. If you dream
about people, ask: what does this person mean to me? If you dream
about, let's say birds - think: do you love birds or do they make you
nervous?
Some people claim they never dream; well, they do, but they just forget. It
may be useful when you wake up, to try to recall your dreams - they
might be telling you something important.

Answer TRUE or FALSE.

a) Everyone experiences similar dreams.

b) There are reports on social media that people's dreams have become
more intense.
.
c) Dreams have become more interesting because life is duller since the
lockdown.

d)Experts agree that dreams can foretell the future.

e) Events in dreams are based on reality.

f) What are social media sites saying about dreams?

g) What do experts cite as the reasons for this phenomenon?

h) Have your dreams become more vivid since the lockdown? Describe
one of your dreams

Q2. 7x1=7
Be the Best
If you can’t be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley—but be
(2)
 The best little scrub by the side of the rill,
Be a bush if you can’t be a tree
If you can’t be a bush be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can’t be a muskie then just be a bass
But be the liveliest bass in the lake!
We can’t all be captains, we’ve got to be crew,
There’s something for all of us here
There’s big work to do and there’s lesser to do,
And the task we must do is the near.
If you can’t be a highway then just be a trait
If you can’t be the sun, be a star,
It isn’t by size that you win or you fail
Be the best of whatever you are!
