5.

Comprehension:

Read

the

following passage

and answer

the

questionS

that

follow

:-

The

manager

of

an

office in

Shelford was

a hard-working

man

who

never

arrived late

and never

left

early. He

was honest, clean, well-dressed and

clever.

But

one

very important

quality

in

men

of

good

position

he had never

learnt,

and that

quality

was

politeness.

He never

took

the trouble to

be

polite;

he

never considered

the

feelings

of

his staff.

If

he

wanted

something

done,

he

did not

say,

..Do

you

rnind

doing

this

?' He

gave

an

order;

'Do

this

and

be quick

about

it.'

When

he

failed

to

hear a question

he was asked,

he never

said,

'l

beg

your

pardon

?

He

just

shouted,

'What

?

'The words

'Please'

and

'Thank

you'

formed

no

part

of

his conversation.

If

he had

spoken gently,

the work

of

the office would

have

been done

just

as

well,

and

probably

better; for

the staff

were good.

But

one

after

another

they

left

and

found

work

else where.

No

one

could

explain

to him

why

they

did not

stay.

[t was

difficult

to

go

to

the

manager

and

tell him

that

he ought

to

spe'ak

more

politely.

So,

he

neYer

understood

the

cause

of

the frequent

changes

in

the

office

stafi

and

irobably

did not

know how

impolite he was.

Even his

chief

clerk,

Hollis, who

had been

with

him

for

many

years,

was

getting

tired

of

his rough

way

of

speaking.

The

secretaries,

the

typists,

and even

the

office-boy,

had

often

complained

to

Hollis

and begged

him

to

tetiifre

manager

about

it;

but

he never

had

the

courage

to do this

until

one

Friday

evening,

when

heiuddenly

took his

opportunity.

Hollis

had worked

hard

for

several

nights

on

some

difficult

papers

that

the

manager

wanted

on Friday.

It

had

needed

a

great

effort

to

get

them finished,

but

Hollis

had

succeeded.

With

great satisfaction

he brought them

into

the

manager's

office

and

laid

them

on

his

desk,

thinking

that

this time

he

might

receive

a

word

of

praise.

The manager

looked

at

them

and said

nothing.

As

the

chief clerk

reached

the door

on his

way

out

of

the

office

he

turned round

and said,

'I

beg

your pardon,

Sir ?'

'I

didn't

speak'

said the

manager

shortly.

.oh

,

said Hollis. 'I

thought you

said

"Thank

you',.
