SECTION B

51. Read the following passage carefully and answer in full sentences the questions that follow:

The abolition of corporal punishment in schools by the Ministry of Education and Sports disappointed our teachers of Timol Primary School. Corporal punishment was the only way they used to punish pupils. Every teacher used to carry a cane all the time, pupils were very miserable and quite a number of them left school because of caning.

The most hated teachers was Mr. Tori , the Deputy Headmaster. He was secretly nicknamed Mr. Talons by pupils because he was fond of squeezing and pulling their ears, which would make them tip-toe in great pain. One day, Mr. Tori asked my young sister to say his name. When the girl said that his name was Tori, her ears were squeezed until they bled, for failing to say Mr. Tori. The frightened girl never returned to school again. She only came back after the abolition of corporal punishment in schools.

There was group punishment for all the pupils if they failed to point out the wrong doers. They would be punished for talking or laughing in the classroom or laughing in the classroom or during assembly, removing a piece a piece of chalk from the teachers' desk or drawing a funny picture on the chalkboard.

Individual punishment was given to a pupil for late coming or poor performance in class.

It rests with its body upside down,

At sunset it begins to fly,

At night it is fully in motion,

At sunrise it goes back after rest,
