passage carefully.
5x3=15
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.
Answer the following questions briefly:
(a) Why do most conflicts happen in poor countries?
(b) What is the best way to check conflicts?
(c) What is meant by the freedom of future generations to live?
(d) How are we robbing our children of their basic right?
(e) What must we preserve for our children?
Find words from the passage that mean the same as
(a) fighting
(b) keep safely
(C) coming to end
