of all possessions----no get-well cards, flowers, slippers, none of the usual kickshaws of the sickroom. He seemed to have been cast upon a wild island. Finally, he left the world quietly, with no one beside him. Lying in his bed, his face was relaxed, grave and dignified. Upon his death, was he remembering a time when he was whole? Did he dream of the feet he used to have?

Translation

Translate the following passage into English. Talking about the disaster at the World Trade Centre, people usually have in mind images from television and newspaper pictures: the collapsing buildings, the running office workers, the black plume of smoke against a bright blue sky. However, when one goes around what used to be the World Trade Center, there is nothing to see, except the wide emptiness. Then, when the eyes have adjusted to what they are looking at, one begins to notice what is around.

Suddenly there are the firefighters, the waiting ambulance on the other side of the pit, the police on every corner. Suddenly there is the enormous cross made of two rusted girders. Suddenly there is the little cemetery attached to a nearby chapel. The fence is a welter of wreaths, poems and photographs, and American flags everywhere.

So, what is not there becomes visible and absence begins to assume a material form. So, emptiness becomes meaningful and expressive. What seems to be nothing actually says everything. Unit eight Page 178

Translate the following passage into English.

From a broad point of view, friends come in different types. There is sufficient value to be found in each variety of friendship and they can meet our different needs.

Convenience friends can make our lives more convenient and special-interest friends can bring more fun to what we study and when we play. But we would not come too close or tell too much with these two types of friends.

Historical friends and crossroads friends represent particular periods in our past lives. We only need to connect occasionally, and the dormant intimacy would be instantly revived. From a friendship that forms across generations the younger person gets the benefit of the other's experience while the older person gets a youthful perspective. Man-woman friendships can bring to the two parties pleasures different from friendships formed with the same sex.

Of course, what attracts us most are the best of friends, who totally love and support and trust each other, bare to each other the secrets of their souls, run----no questions asked----to help each other, and tell harsh truths to each other when they must be told. Best friends needn't agree about everything and should be able to tolerate each other's point of view. Best friends will be there to comfort our sorrows and to celebrate our joys.
