My brother, David, was always close to our grandmother. They both share a love
for Mother Nature and the food they grow themselves. Whenever his schedule
permitted, he would drop by for a short visit and a cup of coffee. One day, when
he found no one at home, he left the garbage on his porch. This began what later
became known as his “calling card”. Grandma came home sometimes and knew
right away that David had found a piece of dirt on her porch.

2. Read the passages given below and answer the questions that follow: 5 marks
We must do all we can to stop conflicts and civil war. Most conflicts happen in poor
countries, especially which are badly governed or where power and wealth are not
distributed fairly between different tribal or religious groups. So the best way to check
fighting is to make a political arrangement in which all groups have their
representatives.

The need is to ensure human rights and economic development of all.

The next fundamental freedom is one that is not mentioned in the UN charter. In 1945,
the leaders could not imagine that such a situation would arise. That is the freedom of
future generations to live on this planet.Even now many of us have not understood its
importance.

We are using up the limited resources for our present use. We are over using and even
wasting them. We are, in fact, robbing our children of their right to live. We must
preserve our forests, fisheries and wildlife. All of these are collapsing because of our
own habit of consuming or destroying them.
