Q.No.1. Read the given passage and do the activities: 5
During the carnival, official public notices are
plastered on the walls around Ivrea, ordering people,
especially tourists, to wear a red hat. Or else they can
be considered a ‘fair target for gentle and moderate
orange- throwing.’
The red hat people are ordered to wear is not just any
hat. The berretto frigio, a sock- shaped hat sold on
every street corner, is the symbol of the carnival itself.
It is a symbol of freedom; worn in Roman times by
freed slaves. During the Middle Ages it was on the
heads of peasants rioting against feudal lords.
Back on my feet, I make sure my hat is on, and
visible. I want to get another look, but soon I am hit
again on my forehead. My head jerks back, I wipe my
face, oh my goodness, it’s blood! I am going to need
stitches, maybe it’s a concussion!

complaining about each other and look after my sick
baby?” From my vantage point, it seemed that
everyone was so focused on their own needs and
skills that they appeared completely insensible that
there was a sick baby that needed their help. In fact, it
was downright disappointing. This did nothing other
than state to me that egos were taking priority over
my daughter’s care.
I cannot tell you how many times nurses told me, “I
am so busy today.” I am not sure if they were telling
me to excuse the fact that my daughter’s medications
were not on time or maybe they were simply looking
for support. Every time I heard this statement my head
played my own version that sounded more like “your
daughter is not a priority.”
Do not use patients or their families as your personal
confidante. I was in that hospital room to care for my
infant and see her condition improve, not to hear that
staff were not equipped to see this goal through.
Patients and their families need to know they are your
priority and your job is to care for them in an effort to
restore health. Patients and their families need to
know they are your priority and your job is to care for
them in an effort to restore health. Please take time to
tell them this, share positive news with them as if you
are happy too, because I know you are.
