Q2 A Read the following passage and do the activities ( 10 marks )
Well, it was early in the year for salmon and it was
not on the menu, but I asked the waiter if there was
any. Yes, a beautiful salmon had just come in-it was
the first they had had. I ordered it for my guest. The
waiter asked her if she would have something while it
was being cooked. “No,” she answered, “I never eat
more than one thing. Unless you had a little caviar. I
never mind caviar.”
I knew I could not afford caviar, but I could not
very well tell her that. For myself, I chose the cheapest
dish on the menu and that was a mutton chop.
“I think you’re unwise to eat meat,” she said. “I
don’t believe in overloading my stomach.”
She ate the caviar and she ate the salmon. She
talked gaily of art and literature and music. But I
wondered what the bill would come to. When my
mutton chop arrived, she took me quite seriously to
task.
“I see that you’re in the habit of eating a heavy
luncheon. I’m sure it’s a mistake. Why don’t you
follow my example and just eat one thing ? I couldn’t
possibly eat anything more unless they had some of
those giant asparagus. I should be sorry to leave Paris
without having some of them.”
My heart sank. I had seen them in the shops and
I knew that they were horribly expensive. My mouth
had often watered at the sight of them.
“I’m not in the least hungry,” my guest sighed, “but
if you insist, I don’t mind having some asparagus.” I
ordered them.
“Aren’t you going to have any ?”
“No, I never eat asparagus.”
A1 :- Say whether the statements are true or false . correct the false statements
1. The writers mouth had often watered on seeing asparagus .
