Read the passage. Then answer the questions no. 1 and 2:[Unit-12; Lesson-1(B)]Eid is the main religious festival of the Muslims in Bangladeh. Eid means happiness. Everyone wants $\to share this happiness with near and dear$ ones. So most of the people, who are living outside their home for different reasons have a strong desire $\to get back home during the Eid$ vacation. As a result, there is a mad rush $\to board$ buses, trains, or launches for going home. This often causes transport accidents that take away many lives. However, these cannot stop people from going home $\to meet their$ family, in-laws, or friends. What makes people rush for their homes in spite of serious hazards? This is nothing but people's desire $\to return \to the$ roots. Do human beings have roots like the trees? The answer is '$yes^{\prime} but unlike the roots of the trees they are$ invisible, they lie in our minds. It's these roots that make a bond between us and family members, in-laws, friends, neighbours or even between us and the land where we were born and grew up. In that sense our families, our land of birth, relatives, our culture, traditions, or surroundings are our roots. And wherever we stay, we feel the power of our roots. It's our roots that develop our identity making us what we are. When we lose that bond, we become rootless. Human beings who do not have any roots or context are a non-entity. In other words, they do not have an identity. They don't know where they are from, and/or where they are heading towards. This often makes them feel empty and lost.A.

7.Read the following text carefully and answer the questions no. 1 : Traditional childhood pastimes of climbing trees and playing conkers are in decline, according $\to a survey by the RSPB (Royal Society for the Protection of$ Birds). It's a charitable organization registered in England and Wales. The survey shows that people under 34 recall far fewer such childhood outdoor experiences than people over 55, according $\to a survey by$ RSPB. People were asked which of the twelve childhood outdoor experiences they could remember. The answer included making dens, daisy chains, climbing trees, playing conkers and feeding birds. Four out of five boys climbed trees and the same number of girls made daisy chains. But the survey showed the numbers declining among the newer generations. Some 15% more of those aged over 55 had these outdoor experiences in their childhood, compared with those between 15-34 years old. Some 92% of the public agreed that experiences of nature were still important $\to$ children, and 82% agreed that schools should play a role in providing them $\to all$ children. The survey has highlighted the positive impact of contact with nature on a child's education, health, wellbeing and social skills. At the same time, there has been a decline in these opportunities, with negative consequences for children, families and society a condition now known as nature deficit disorder. Mike Clarke, chief executive of the RSPB, will meet parliament members $\to urge the government \to join other organizations in providing children with first-hand experiences of the natural environment \ldots\ldots\ldots.$ "We believe this guidance should include the many positive impacts $\to children of having contact with nature and learning outside the$ classroom." 1.
