9 Section C [25 marks] Questions 26 31 are based on the following passage. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 Jayasiri Bandara wanted to make the most of his medical leave from the Sri Lankan army last September. He took his wife Srimathi and three-year-old daughter to the Maragaha Tank near Anuradhapura, a 2200-year-old city in Sri Lanka s north central province. There, they left their daughter on the bicycle seat to go for a quick dip. Srimathi waded waist deep into the cool water while Bandara immersed himself fully. But after only a few dips, he heard a scream. Jumping up, he saw that his daughter was fine but there was no sign of his wife. He shouted her name but there was no response. Then Bandara spotted churning water and bubbles nearly three metres away. Splashing his way towards the disturbance, a sharp object struck his leg and his worst fear was confirmed: a crocodile had taken his wife. Bandara dove into the two-metre-deep pond, searching blindly until he found its slimy tail. He grabbed hold but the three-metre-long creature shook him off. He tried again, catching the crocodile around its body. Bandara became desperate when the crocodile would not let go of his wife. He then remembered a local belief that tickling the crocodile s belly will make it open its mouth. He tried it and amazingly, the beast wriggled and opened its mouth, freeing his wife. Bandara grabbed Srimathi from the crocodile s jaws and threw the 60- kilogramme crocodile as far as he could. When she reached out to drag him to shore, Srimathi realised that half her right arm was missing. The beast attacked again, this time grabbing her dress. Bandara tore the cloth off his wife s body, allowing the crocodile to take it, and in a final burst of strength reached the shore. Examining what was left of her bleeding arm, Bandara knew he had to get her to a hospital. He screamed at some people nearby to help. A threewheeler soon arrived and drove her to the Nochchiyagama hospital. The doctor dressed the wound and urged Bandara to rush her to a better equipped facility in Anuradhapura. Srimathi was suffering from shock and excessive loss of blood, but quick medical action saved her life. For his brave deed, Jayasiri Bandara was awarded the Gold Medal for Civilian Bravery by Sri Lanka s Foundation for Civilian Bravery at a ceremony in Colombo on June 14, 2007.

If If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; If you can wait and not to be tired by waiting, Or being lied about don t deal in lies, Or being hated don t give way to hating, And yet don t look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream and not make dreams your master; If you can think and not make thoughts your aim; If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same; If you can bear to hear the truth you ve spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings And never breathe a word about your loss; To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: Hold on! If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings nor lose the common touch; If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you; If all men count with you, but none too much; If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that s in it, And which is more you ll be a Man, my son!
