A. When water turns into ice / it expands. / An iron pipe, / which is filled with water /
and sealed, / breaks when the water freezes. / This shows / the great force of
freezing water. / Similarly, / when the water freezes / in the pores / of a piece
of rock, / the expansion of the ice / tends to produce cracks / in the walls of the
pores. / This process, / often repeated, / will in time / cause the rock to crumble. /
Again, / when water freezes / in a crack in a rock, / the ice acts as a wedge / and
widens the crack. / In the spring of the year, / when there is much freezing /
and thawing, / this process often causes / pieces of rock / to split off from the
sides / of steep precipices / and rocky mountain slopes. / Usually at the base /
of such slopes / in cold humid climates / there is a pile of debris (de-bre')/that
has fallen from above. / Finally, / the surface of bare rock / that is alternately
heated / and cooled / tends to expand and then to contract, / but as there is no
change / in temperature / in the internal parts / of the rock, / a strain is set up /
at every expansion / and contraction. / These successive strains / cause cracks to
appear. / This is one cause / of the cracking / of cement pavements and buildings.

All That's Past.
Very old are the woods;
And the buds that break
Out of the briar's boughs,
When March winds wake,
So old with their beauty are—
Oh, no man knows
Through what wild centuries
Roves back the rose.
Very old are the brooks;
And the rills that rise
Where snow sleeps cold beneath
The azure skies
Sing such a history
Of come and gone.
Their every drop is as wise
As Solomon.
A'ery old are we men;
Our dreams are tales
Told in dim Eden
By Eve's nightingales;
We wake and whisper awhile,
But, the day gone by,
Silence and sleep like fields
Of Amaranth lie.

20 i- Traduisez le passage suivant; dites qui parle et a quel propos :—
Monsieur, la plupart des gens, sur cette question n'hesitent pas beaucoup. On
tranche le mot aisement. Ce nom ne fait aucun scrupule a prendre, et l'usage
aujourd'hui semble en autoriser le vol. Pour moi, je vous l'avoue, j'ai les
sentiments sur cette matiere un peu delicats. Je trouve que toute imposture
est indigne d'un honnete homme, et qu'il y a de la lftchete a deguiser ce que
le ciel nous a fait naitre, a se parer aux yeux du monde d'un titre derobe,
a se vouloir donner pour ce qu'on n'est pas. Je suis n& de parents, sans
doute, qui ont tenu des charges honorables. Je me suis acquis dans les annes
l'honneur de six ans de services, et je me trouve assez de bien pour tenir
dans le monde un rang assez passable; mais, avec tout cela, je ne veux
point me donner un nom oft d'autres, en ma place, croiraient pouvoir
pretendre.

10 1. Point out definitely the particular principles violated in the following sentences, and

musical voice, her broken left arm in a sling, on Egypt, five or six
thousand miles away,
(o.) The ship then struck a rock, she began to slowly and steadily sink, and the
waves finally enveloped her.
(a\) I doubt very much if anyone has a harder day than this one, especially as
it comes on Monday, and Sunday is not a good day for studying, even
if you have no religious scruples concerning it.
(e.) We went home, after all our misfortunes, glad to get one night's sleep,
anyhow.
20 2. Discuss the principles of good paragraph structure as exemplified in the following,
and indicate clearly the means of explicit reference:—
"Every educated person has at least two ways of speaking his mother tongue.
The first is that which he employs in his family, among his familiar friends,
and on ordinary occasions. The second is that which he uses in discoursing
on more complicated subjects, and in addressing persons with whom he is less
intimately acquainted. It is, in short, the language he employs when he is
' on his dignity' as he puts on evening dress when he is going to dine. The
difference between these two forms of language consists, in a great measure,
in a difference in vocabulary. The basis of familiar words must be the sain3
in both, but the vocabulary appropriate to the more formal occasion will
include many terms which would be stilted or affected in ordinary talk.
There is also considerable difference between familiar and dignified language
in the matter of utterance. Contrast the rapid utterance of our every-day
dialect, full of contractions and clipped forms, with the more distinct enunciation of the pulpit or the platform. Thus in conversation we habitually
employ such contractions as I'll, don't, he'd, and the like, which we should
never use in public speaking unless of set purpose, to give a markedly
colloquial tinge to what we have to say."
10 3. Discuss the chief points to be considered in the planning and construction of an
