5 Reading Comprehension 2 (8 marks) SECTION 1: The Sorting Hat s New Song Ron had appeared in the doorway of the dormitory. His eyes travelled from Harry, who was kneeling on his bed with his wand pointing at Seamus, to Seamus, who was standing there with his fists raised. He s having a go at my mother! Seamus yelled. What? said Ron. Harry wouldn t do that we met your mother, we liked her. That s before she started believing every word the stinking Daily Prophet writes about me! said Harry at the top of his voice. Oh, said Ron, comprehension dawning across his freckled face. Oh.. right. You know what? said Seamus heatedly, casting Harry a venomous look. He s right, I don t want to share a dormitory with him any more, he s mad. That s out of order, Seamus, said Ron, whose ears were starting to glow red always a danger sign. Out of order, am I? shouted Seamus, who in contrast with Ron was going pale. You believe all the rubbish he s come out with about You-Know-Who, do you, you reckon he s telling the truth? Yeah, I do! said Ron angrily. Then you re mad, too, said Seamus in disgust. San Ġorġ Preca College, HY Exams 2018, English Reading Comprehension - Year 6 Page 5 of 11
6 Yeah? Well, unfortunately for you, pal, I m also a prefect! said Ron, jabbing himself in the chest with a finger. So unless you want detention, watch your mouth! Seamus looked for a few seconds as though detention would be a reasonable price to pay to say what was going through his mind; but with a noise of contempt he turned on his heel, vaulted into bed and pulled the hangings shut with such violence that they were ripped from the bed and fell in a dusty pile to the floor. Ron glared at Seamus, then looked at Dean and Neville. Anyone else s parents got a problem with Harry? he said aggressively. My parents are Muggles, mate, said Dean, shrugging. They don t know nothing about no deaths at Hogwarts, because I m not stupid enough to tell them. Questions on Section 1: A. Tick ( ) the correct answer. 1. The characters in the story are boarders in a school because they share a. an office. b. a dormitory. c. a garage. San Ġorġ Preca College, HY Exams 2018, English Reading Comprehension - Year 6 Page 6 of 11
7 2. Another word for venomous in line 11, is a. friendly. b. funny. c. poisonous. B. Read the sentences. Write T if it is True, F if it is False and N if there is no information given in the passage. 1. Ron s wand was pointed at Seamus. 2. The Daily Prophet published a flattering article about Harry. 3. Seamus was friendly towards Harry and Ron. 4. After airing their differences, the boys went out to celebrate. C. Give the meaning of these expressions: 1. stinking 2. watch your mouth San Ġorġ Preca College, HY Exams 2018, English Reading Comprehension - Year 6 Page 7 of 11
8 SECTION 2: You don t know my mother, she d weasel anything out of anyone! Seamus snapped at him. Anyway, your parents don t get the Daily Prophet. They don t know our Headmaster s been sacked from the Wizentgamot and the International Confederation of Wizards because he s losing his marbles My gran says that s rubbish, piped up Neville. She says it s the Daily Prophet that s going downhill, not Dumbledore. She s cancelled our subscription. We believe Harry, said Neville simply. He climbed into bed and pulled the covers up to his chin, looking owlishly over them at Seamus. My gran s always said You-Know-Who would come back one day. She says if Dumbledore says he s back, he s back. Harry felt a rush of gratitude towards Neville. Nobody else said anything. Seamus got out his wand, repaired the bed hangings and vanished behind them. Dean got into bed, rolled over and fell silent. Neville, who appeared to have nothing more to say either, was gazing fondly at his moonlit cactus. Harry lay back on his pillows while Ron bustled around the next bed, putting his things away. He felt shaken by the argument with Seamus, whom he had always liked very much. How many more people were going to suggest that he was lying, or unhinged? Had Dumbledore suffered like this all summer, as first the Wizengamot, then the International Confederation of Wizards had thrown him from their ranks? San Ġorġ Preca College, HY Exams 2018, English Reading Comprehension - Year 6 Page 8 of 11
9 Was it anger at Harry, perhaps, that had stopped Dumbledore getting in touch with him for months? The two of them were in this together, after all. Dumbledore had believed Harry, announced his version of events to the whole school and then to the wider wizarding community. Anyone who thought Harry was a liar had to think that Dumbledore was too, or else that Dumbledore had been tricked. They ll know we re right in the end, thought Harry miserably, as Ron got into bed and extinguished the last candle in the dormitory. But he wondered how many more attacks like Seamus s he would have to endure before that time came. (Adapted from the book: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix by J.K. Rowling) Questions on Section 2: (8 marks) 1. Why did the headmaster lose his job? 2. Match the words that mean the same. a) extinguished bear b) wondered put out c) endure thought about San Ġorġ Preca College, HY Exams 2018, English Reading Comprehension - Year 6 Page 9 of 11
10 3. Underline the correct answer. Harry felt a rush of gratitude towards Neville because a) Neville punched Seamus. b) Neville stood up for Harry. c) Neville gave Harry a gift. 4. Why did Neville s grandmother cancel her subscription to the newspaper Daily Prophet? 5. Why would the wider wizarding community think that Dumbledore was a liar too? Questions on BOTH Sections: (4 marks) 6. Why was Seamus s mum having a problem with Harry? San Ġorġ Preca College, HY Exams 2018, English Reading Comprehension - Year 6 Page 10 of 11
11 7. Do you think that whatever is printed in a newspaper is always the truth and should be believed? Give a reason for your answer. 8. What did Seamus mean when he said that his mother could weasel anything out of anyone! San Ġorġ Preca College, HY Exams 2018, English Reading Comprehension - Year 6 Page 11 of 11
