Questions 24-28
are based on the following text.
Should
Americans be Forced to Public Transportation?
By Jack
Davis
First , let me define what the question is and isn’t asking. It isn’t asking if
we should we all abandon cars right now, nor is it asking if we should abandon
them complety, nor is it asking if every American should do so. It is asking
wheater some Americans should have to take public transit some of the time, and
I would say yes.
Oil use and pollution aside, in some cities like Los Angeles and New York there
just isn’t room for any more roads, so in order for large cities to grow, they
need more people to take public transit or risk permanent traffic jam. One bus
can safely hold 40 people so even at half capacity that’s nearly 20 cars’ worth
of space in traffic cleared up, and nearly 20 parking spaces that don’t
need to built.
There are a lot of people that can take with transit little inconvenience
but simply don’t because they never have in the past. If residents in areas
with plenty of transit had to buy transit passes as part of their property
taxes then they would have little excuse not to bus occasionally. QA number of
universities already bundle a ‘U-Pass’ with their tuition feeds, forcing their
students to take the bus. When given the change the majority of those students
have voted to keep these programs.
A similar system in apartments where a portion of the tenants are not issued
parking spaces in exchange for a discount on their rent would also be community
car to several apartment tenants that arrange a schedule for the car, and this
program gets many positive reviews.
So yes, I would say that Americans should be forced to use public transit, as
Americans whom are already forced to do so find that it works well for them.
24.
The following is one of the writer’s suggestions in forcing people to use public

the river. He tried a lot of to get out of the mud, but didn’t achieve. He had

went closer to the lion said , “What is the matter? Why are you resting here?”
The lion narrated him the pathetic story. The Jackal instantly made a way out
from the sand but the lion was unable to move his feet. As he was set in the
same posture for last several days, his body became stiff. The Jackal
understood the condition f the Lion and helped him to get out of the mud with
an extra effort. The lion was really thankful to Jackal for his kind help. He
was very happy to get free after so many days.
The Lion appreciated the effort made by the Jackal. He offered the Jackal to
live close to him and also promised to give food the lion whenever he caught
food. The Jackal accepted the offer and started living with the lion, Thus,
they lived happily sharing the food. With the passing time, they expanded their
families. The Lion had cubs and the Jackal had kid jackals. Both, the lion and
the Jackal were passing their days happily. They didn’t have any idea that
their friendship was not liked by their families.
One day after a long time, the lioness, lady of lion’s house, told her cubs
that she didn’t like the amity between the Jackal and her husband. The cubs
passed the message to the kid jackals. The kids complained the matter to the
lady Jackal. The lady Jackal passed the complaint to her husband.
The Jackal went to the Lion and asked, “I helped you without any thought in
return. You had asked me to live with you, so I started living with you. Now,
if you don’t want me to live with you, you should have told me yourself. What
did you involve your wife and cubs to convey this?”. The Lion was shocked to
hear such words. He said, “My dear Friend, what are you saying? I don’t any
problem with you or your friendship”. He assured the Jackal that he had no such
ill-feelings for the friendship between them.
The Lion also assured for that he would talk to talk to the lioness and solve
the whole matter. The jackal was intelligent and understood the situation. He
said to the lion, “I know you are sincere, but our families could not exactly
respond the same level of the friendship. So, let us stay apart and meet often
as friends. We could also hunt together. It would be better, if our
families stay apart”. The lion agreed to the proposal with a heavy heart.
The two families parted from each other as friends. The Jackal and the Lion
continued to share the friendship. They often met each other and hunt together.
Thus, the two friends shared a healthy friendship throughout their life.

The Good Stepmother
The old witch locked Hansel in a cage and set Gretel to clean the house.
She planned to eat them both. Each night the children cried and begged the
witch to let them go. Meanwhile, at home, their stepmother was beginning to
wish she had never tried to get rid of the children. ”I must find them,” she
said and set off into the forest.
Many hours later, when her feet were tired from walking and her lips were
dry from thirst, she came to the cottage belonging to the witch. The stepmother
peeped through the window. Her heart cried out when she saw the two children.
She picked up the broom leaning against the door and crept inside. The
witch was putting some stew in the oven when the stepmother gave her an
almighty push. The witch fell into the oven and the stepmother shut the door.
“Children, I have come to save you,” she said, hugging them tightly. I have
