2 1. Read the following text. SECTION A: READING (40 Marks) On May 29, 1953, two men, Edmund Hillary, a 33 year old beekeeper from New Zealand and his 39 year old Nepalese guide, the Sherpa* Tenzing Norgay, stood on the summit of Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world, for the very first time in human history. The following passage describes how they achieved this feat. 1 In the 20 th century, climbing the Everest was considered one of the greatest adventures for mankind. Different expeditions had tried to climb the mountain, but had all failed. The first expedition had been carried out by the Royal Geographic Society and the Alpine Club in This was followed by six more unsuccessful tries until the outbreak of World War II put a halt to the attempts. 2 The expedition which attempted the climb in 1953 was essentially a British group and was funded by the Royal Geographical Society. They had brought 362 porters, 20 sherpas and 500 kgs of luggage from Nepal. Their first task was to establish a route to the mountain and to ferry men and equipment up for the attempt at reaching the top. This took several days, but by May 21, 1953, they were ready. 3 Five days later, the first team, made up of Tom Bourdillon and Charles Evans, set off for the peak. Using bottled oxygen, they almost managed to reach the top of Everest. But with only 100 metres to go, when they were higher than any man had been before, their oxygen started to fail. With a heavy snowstorm coming in, they had to give up on their dream of reaching the top. Evans and Bourdillon spent the night describing the route to the top to the rest of the party - including the second team of Hillary and Tenzing. 4 On May 28, at 8.45 a.m, Hillary and Tenzing set off to try to reach the summit of Everest. They were each carrying 20 kgs of equipment and trudged with difficulty up the icy mountain. By nightfall, exhausted, they stopped for a rest and to get some sleep. While Tenzing made soup, Hillary checked the oxygen. They would have to survive with only three litres a minute instead of the planned four. With fierce gusts of wind whistling around the mountain, they only managed to get four hours sleep. 5 At 6.30 a.m the next morning, they were ready for the final push to the summit. Although it was still bitterly cold (around minus 25º Celsius), the conditions had improved a little. The winds had eased and visibility was much better. They took a last tin of sardines and biscuits, took a few deep breaths and began their final assault. 6 Hillary constantly performed mental arithmetic to gauge how much oxygen they had left. The higher they climbed, the more precarious their situation became. They were fast running out of oxygen and the snow conditions were tricky. Nevertheless, they chose to keep going they were too close to their dream to stop By 9 a.m, they could see the mountain top in front of them. There was still a final hurdle to overcome a 15 metre cliff. The two men, although considerably weakened, dug in their crampons and lifted themselves upwards. It was painful and exhausting, but they made it over this final obstacle. They finally stood on top - Everest was conquered * Sherpas are people living in the most mountainous region of Nepal, high in the Himalayas. MoE&HR, TE&SR & MES

5 2. Read the following text. 1 People came to Dr Raman only as a last resort. He often burst out - Why couldn t you come a day earlier? The reason was obvious - an exorbitant visiting fee, but more than that, people were scared of what he would say. The patient s life often hung on his words. If he said they would survive they did. If he said they would die, they did as well. 2 Today, standing over a bed, the doctor felt that he himself needed someone to tell him soothing lies. On the bed lay his dearest friend in the world: Gopal. They had known each other for forty years now, starting with their kindergarten days. They could not, of course, meet as much as they wanted, each being wrapped in his own family and profession. Occasionally, they would dine together, see a movie and talk of each other s life and activities. It was a classic friendship, which endured untouched by changing times, circumstances and activities. 3 He had been informed that Gopal was ill by the latter s son. He rushed to his house and saw Gopal lying in bed, in a comatose state. The doctor asked Gopal s wife, How long has he been in bed? A month and a half, Doctor. Why, why couldn t you have sent me word earlier? We thought you d be busy and did not wish to trouble you unnecessarily. 4 There was hardly any time to be lost. He took off his coat and opened his bag. I have to perform an operation urgently. Why, why? Why? Gopal s wife asked faintly. I will tell you all that soon. Please leave your son here to help me and go to the next house and stay there till I call you. She felt giddy and sank down on the floor, unable to bear the strain. Her son helped her and led her out. 5 A few hours after the operation, Gopal opened his eyes and stirred slightly in bed. His heartbeat was still weak but he showed signs of improvement. He smiled at his friend and was able to take in a little food. He was still worried though. Am I going to die? Don t hide it from me. Dr Raman made an indistinct noise and sat back in his chair. He had never faced a situation like this. It was not in his nature to lie. 6 He thought long and hard about it and then made a decision. He said to himself, If my word can save his life, he shall not die. He said, Gopal, listen. This was the first time he was going to do a piece of acting before a patient, simulate a feeling and conceal his judgment. You are going to live. Your heart is absolutely sound. Gopal smiled and replied. Do you say so? If it comes from your lips it must be true 7 The next morning, Dr Raman rushed to Gopal s bedside. The patient was awake and looked very well. He put his stethoscope to his heart, listened for a while and then told the sick man s wife, Don t look so unhappy, lady. Your husband will live to be ninety. How he has survived this attack will be a puzzle to me all my life [Adapted from The Doctor s Word by R K Narayan] MoE&HR, TE&SR & MES Please turn over this page
