Model QuestionĀ Ā Part A : Reading Test
Read the passage carefully and answer the questions following it.Ā Unit-7: Lesson-8(A)
A car mechanic Paul Jobs and his wife Clara Jobs adopted Steve Jobs. Steve was abandoned at birth. Paul and Clara loved Steve very much. They made him feel that he was āchosenā and very āspecialā.
One of his colleagues, Del Yocam said about Steve, āI think his desire for complete control of whatever he makes derives directly from his personality and the fact that he was abandoned at birth.ā
Jobsā mother taught him how to read and write before he went to the elementary school. So when he went to school, he found out that he knew everything that the teachers were teaching. He got bored and played pranks to keep him busy. This continued for the first few years. It was clear from his behaviour that he could not accept other peopleās authority. He said, āI encountered authority of different kind that I have never encountered before, and I did not like it.ā
A turning point came when he was in grade four. His teacher Imogene Hill watched him very closely for some time and soon found out how to handle him and get things done by him. In order to get things done she used to give him money and food. One day after school, she gave Jobs a workbook with math problems in it. She said, ā I want you to take it home and do this.āĀ She showed Jobs a huge lollipop and said, ā When you are done with it, if you get it mostly right, I will give you this and five dollars.āĀ Within two days, Jobs solved the math and returned the book to his teacher. This continued for a couple of months and Jobs enjoyed learning so much that he did not need any return. Also he liked his teacher very much and wanted to please her. In Ms. Hillās class, Jobs felt he was special. At the end of the fourth grade, Jobs did very well. It was clear not only to Jobs and his parents but also to the teachers that he was exceptionally intelligent. The school proposed that Jobs should skip two classes and go into seventh grade. This would mean that Jobs would find the study challenging and he would be motivated to study. His parents had him skip only one grade.
Steven Paul Jobs was the pioneer of the personal computer revolution. He was famous for his career in the electronic field ofĀ computers and consumers.Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Ā Source: Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson
