ADAM: She has no discrimination. She takes to all the animals--all of them! She thinks they are all

treasures, every new one is welcome. When the brontosaurus came striding into camp, she regarded it

as an acquisition, I considered it a calamity; that is a good sample of the lack of harmony that prevails in

our views of things. She wanted to domesticate it, I wanted to make it a present of the homestead andmove out. She believed it could be tamed by kind treatment and would be a good pet; I said a pet

twenty-one feet high and eighty-four feet long would be no proper thing to have about the place,

because, even with the best intentions and without meaning any harm, it could sit down on the house

and mash it, for any one could see by the look of its eye that it was absent-minded. Still, her heart was

set upon having that monster, and she couldn't give it up. She thought we could start a dairy with it, and

wanted me to help milk it; but I wouldn't; it was too risky. The sex wasn't right, and we hadn't any

ladder anyway. Then she wanted to ride it, and look at the scenery. Thirty or forty feet of its tail was

lying on the ground, like a fallen tree, and she thought she could climb it, but she was mistaken; when

she got to the steep place it was too slick and down she came, and would have hurt herself but for me.

Was she satisfied now? No. Nothing ever satisfies her but demonstration; untested theories are not in

her line, and she won't have them. It is the right spirit, I concede it; it attracts me; I feel the influence of

it; if I were with her more I think I should take it up myself. Well, she had one theory remaining about

this colossus: she thought that if we could tame it and make him friendly we could stand in the river and

use him for a bridge. It turned out that he was already plenty tame enough--at least as far as she was

concerned--so she tried her theory, but it failed: every time she got him properly placed in the river and

went ashore to cross over him, he came out and followed her around like a pet mountain. Like the other

animals. They all do that.

Read the following statements and write true, false or not given against the statements.

11.The animal that the speaker thinks to pet is very huge.12.The animal belongs to the prehistoric age.13.She has many other pets at her place.14.The pet is 84 feet high.15.The speaker wants to ride the pet once tamed.16.Nothing ever satisfies her but demonstration.17.They had an innovative plan to cross the river.18.The animal seemed to be already tamed enough.19.Their plan was executed with success.20.The tail of the animal was 30-40 feet long and lying on ground.

Section 4

Audio script:

Winston Churchill: I spoke the other day of the colossal military disaster which occurred when

the French High Command failed to withdraw the northern Armies from Belgium at the

moment when they knew that the French front was decisively broken at Sedan and on the

Meuse. This delay entailed the loss of fifteen or sixteen French divisions and threw out of action

for the critical period the whole of the British Expeditionary Force. Our Army and 120,000

French troops were indeed rescued by the British Navy from Dunkirk but only with the loss of

their cannon, vehicles and modern equipment. This loss inevitably took some weeks to repair,

and in the first two of those weeks the battle in France has been lost. When we consider the

heroic resistance made by the French Army against heavy odds in this battle, the enormous

losses inflicted upon the enemy and the evident exhaustion of the enemy, it may well be the

thought that these 25 divisions of the best-trained and best-equipped troops might have turned

the scale. However, General Weygand had to fight without them. Only three British divisions or

their equivalent were able to stand in the line with their French comrades. They have suffered

severely, but they have fought well. We sent every man we could to France as fast as we could

re-equip and transport their formations.

I am not reciting these facts for the purpose of recrimination. That I judge to be utterly futile

and even harmful. We cannot afford it. I recite them in order to explain why it was we did not

have, as we could have had, between twelve and fourteen British divisions fighting in the line in

this great battle instead of only three. Now I put all this aside. I put it on the shelf, from which

the historians, when they have time, will select their documents to tell their stories. We have to

think of the future and not of the past. This also applies in a small way to our own affairs at

home. There are many who would hold an inquest in the House of Commons on the conduct of

7/27/2019 LS 21

4/6

the Governments-and of Parliaments, for they are in it, too-during the years which led up to

this catastrophe. They seek to indict those who were responsible for the guidance of our affairs.

This also would be a foolish and pernicious process. There are too many in it. Let each man

search his conscience and search his speeches. I frequently search mine.

Of this I am quite sure, that if we open a quarrel between the past and the present, we shall

find that we have lost the future. Therefore, I cannot accept the drawing of any distinctions

between Members of the present Government. It was formed at a moment of crisis in order to

unite all the Parties and all sections of opinion. It has received the almost unanimous support of

both Houses of Parliament. Its Members are going to stand together, and, subject to the

authority of the House of Commons, we are going to govern the country and fight the war. It is

absolutely necessary at a time like this that every Minister who tries each day to do his duty

shall be respected; and their subordinates must know that their chiefs are not threatened men,

men who are here today and gone tomorrow, but that their directions must be punctually and

faithfully obeyed. Without this concentrated power we cannot face what lies before us. I should

not think it would be very advantageous for the House to prolong this Debate this afternoon

under conditions of public stress. Many facts are not clear that will be clear in a short time. We

are to have a secret Session on Thursday, and I should think that would be a better opportunity

for the many earnest expressions of opinion which Members will desire to make and for the

House to discuss vital matters without having everything read the next morning by our

dangerous foes.
