6- Read the following
passage then answer the questions:- (7 marks)
I was very interested while
listening to my friend telling me the following story which he had read in a
newspaper. It was a hot noon, and the few people walking along the street stood
struck dumb gazing up a man in the air little by little falling down to the
earth. His wide new garment acted as a parachute when his foot slipped off the
wooden board he was standing on while painting the front of a high house.
It was funny that he fell
down on his feet inside the box of a lorry that happened to be passing by at
the time. When the people shouted, the lorry driver stopped and the man jumped
off delighted at being saved. If the lorry had been a second later, it would
have knocked him down dead, so he insisted on giving the driver a treat. He
crossed the street to buy him a coca cola. On his way back
he was so excited that he couldn't avoid being struck down by a motorcycle
running fast a long the street. He fell down on the ground. The people hurried
to help him rise to his feet, but they found him dead.
Answer the following
questions:-
1-What was he doing when he
fell down?
2-How was the man killed?
3-Why did the driver stop
the lorry?

5-The man's garment caused
him to (fall down dead, fall off the board, fall down gradually, fall down

(while, before, after, during) buying the coca cola.
7-The lorry arrived at the
place (when the man's foot slipped off, while the man was painting, before the
man reached the ground, after the man had reached the ground.)
