(20 points)Passage One The young people who talk of the village as being dead are talking nothing but nonsense, as in their hearts they must surely know. No, the village is not dead. There is more life in it now than there ever was. But it seems that village life is dead. Gone for ever. It began to decline about a hundred years ago, when many girls left home to go into service in town many miles away, and men also left home in increasing number in search of a work, and home was where work was. There are still a number of people alive today who can remember what village life meant in the early years of the last century. It meant knowing and being known by everybody else in the village. It meant finding your entertainment in the village within walking distance. It meant housewives tied to the home all day and every day. It meant going to bed early to save lamp oil and coal. Then came the First World War and the Second World War. After each war, new ideas, new attitudes, new trades and occupations were revealed to villagers. The long-established order of society was no longer taken for granted. Electricity and the motorcar were steadily operating to make village life and town life almost alike. Now with the highly developed science and technology and high-level social welfare for all, there is no point whatever in talking any longer about village life. It is just life, and that a better life. Finally, if we have any doubts about the future, or about the many changes, which we have seen in our lives, we have only to look in at the school playground any mid-morning; or see the children as they walk homeward in little groups. Obviously these children are better fed, better clothed, better educated, healthier, prettier and happier than any generation of children that ever before walked down the village street.21.

He lived with a kind-hearted aunt until he left to study for ministry. His aunt fell seriously ill and was about to die. In great distress she wrote John a letter and asked him to tell her what death would be like. John sent a letter in reply: It is now 35 years since you sent me word that you would give me a home and be a kind mother to me. I have never forgotten the day when I made the long journey to your house. I was disappointed when you sent your servant James to fetch me instead of coming yourself. I remember my tears and anxiety as I rode off to my new home. Night fell before we finished the journey, and I asked James anxiously, Do you think shell go to bed before we get there? Oh, no, he said reassuringly. Shell stay up for you. When we get out of these woods youll see her candle shining in the window. Presently we rode out into the clearing, and there, sure enough, was your candle. You were waiting at the door, a fire burning on the hearth and a hot supper waiting on the stove. After supper you took me to my new room, heard me say my prayers, and sat beside me until I fell asleep. Dear aunt, some day soon God will send for you, to take you to a new home. Dont fear the strange journey, or the dark messenger of death who will fetch you. God can be trusted to do as much for you as you did for me so many years ago. At the end of the road you will find love and a welcome waiting, and you will be safe in Gods care. I shall pray for you and then wait for the day when I shall make the journey myself and find you waiting at the end of the road to greet me.26.
