Nelson Mandela, one of the celebrated political leaders and the first black president of South Africa, struggled throughout his life for establishing a multi-racial democracy in South Africa. For this he had to suffer imprisonment for nearly three decades. But he never lost his resolve to fight against apartheid for his people's emancipation. His anti-racial movement gained immense support of the world people for his prestige and charisma. And, at last he succeeded in bringing people's emancipation from the shackles of apartheid. For his playing a prominent role on the world stage as an advocate of humanity, he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. He was also elected president of South Africa. As this great man struggled throughout his life for establishing an ideal, the ideal of a democratic and free society, all his doings have made him an icon of peace and reconciliation for the peace loving people all over the world.

Write a summary of the following passage:-

Bangladesh is blessed with huge inland open water resources. It has numerous rivers, canals, beels, lakes, and vast areas of floodplains. Hakaluki haor is one of the major wetlands of Bangladesh. With a land area of 18,386 hectares, it supports a rich biodiversity and provides direct and indirect livelihood benefits to nearly 1,90,000 people. This haor was declared an Ecologically Critical Area in April 1999 by the government of Bangladesh. Hakaluki is a complex ecosystem, containing more than 238 interconnecting beels and jalmahals. The haor falls under two administrative districts, Maulvibazar and Sylhet. Some 1,90,000 people live in the area surrounding the haor.

Hakaluki haor is an important source of fisheries resources for Bangladesh. Kalibaus, Boal, Rui, Ghagot, Pabda, and Chapila are the main fish species found here. From the Kushiara, there are frequent upstream movements of fish towards the beels and tributaries of Hakaluki. The beels in Hakaluki haor provide winter shelter for the mother fisheries. In early monsoon, these mother fisheries produce millions of fries for the entire downstream fishing communities. Floodplains are also an important source of fisheries resources within the area. However, many of the beels have lost their capacity to provide shelter for mother fisheries because of sand deposits from upstream rivers and canals, use of complete dewatering technique for fishing and lack of aquatic plants to provide feed and shelter for parents fish.

The orphanage is high in the Carolina mountains. I was there in the autumn. T wanted quiet, isolation, to do some troublesome writing. I wanted mountain air to blow out the Malaria from too long, a time in the subtropics. I was home-sick too, for the flaming of Maples in October, and for corn shocks and pumpkins and black-walnut trees - ... I found them all living in a cabin that belonged to the orphanage, half a mile beyond the orphanage farm. When I took the cabin, $i$ asked for a boy or man to come and chop wood for the fireplace ....... I looked up from my typewriter one late afternoon, a little startied. A boy stood at the door and my pointer dog. my companion, was at his side and had not barked to warn me. The boy was probably twelve years old, but under sized. He wore overalls and a torn shirt, and was barefooted. He said, "I can chop some wood today."

“I'm not in the least hungry,” my guest sighed, “but if you insist I don't mind having some asparagus.” I ordered them. “Aren't you going to have any?” “No, I never eat asparagus.” “I know there are people who don't like them. The fact is, you ruin your palate by all the meat you eat.” We waited for the asparagus to be cooked. Panic seized me. It was not a question now of how much money I should have left over for the rest of the month, but whether I had enough to pay the bill.The asparagus appeared. They were enormous, succulent and appetizing. The smell of the melted butter tickled my nostrils....... “Coffee?” I said. “Yes, just an ice-cream and coffee,” she answered. I was past caring now. So, I ordered coffee for myself and an icecream and coffee for her. “You know, there's one thing I believe in,” she said, as she ate the ice-cream. “One should always get up from a meal feeling one could eat a little more.”

Summarize the following text.

As a child you must have been told to greet your elders and visitors to your home according to your culture and tradition. You must also have been taught to be polite in company and keep quiet while others, especially your elders, spoke. Possibly, you at times grudged such schooling. Possibly, at times you even protested such disciplining. Now, certainly you know that you can't always behave the way you want specially in the presence of others. There are rules of behavior you have to follow in a company. We are social beings and have to consider the effect of our behavior on others, even if we are at home and dealing with our family members.

We have two terms to describe our social behavior- 'etiquette' and 'manners'. 'Etiquette' is a French word and it means the rules of correct behavior in society. The word 'manners' means the behavior that is considered to be polite in a particular society or culture.

Manners can be good or bad. For example, it is a bad manner to speak with food in one's mouth. No one likes a bad mannered person. Remember that etiquette and manners vary from culture to culture and from society to society.
