problems in arranging victuals for himself as Lilliputians neither have proper containers that
could hold the amount of food adequate for Gulliver nor have the proper amount of food
that could be feed to giant man. But the Lilliputians didn't let their hope to die. They applied
several ladders to the sides of Gulliver, on which above 100 of inhabitants mounted and
walked towards his mouth, laden with baskets full of meat, which had been provided and
sent thither by the King's order. Gulliver ate them by two or three at a mouthful. They
supplied him as fast as they could, showing a thousand marks of wonder and astonishment
at his appetite.
Comprehension Passage
Read the passage and answer the following questions:-
When we are young, we learn that tigers and sharks are dangerous animals. We might be
scared of them because they are big and powerful. As we get older, however, we learn that
sometimes the most dangerous animals are also the smallest animals. In fact, the animal that
kills the most people every year is one that you have probably killed yourself many times: the
mosquito. While it may seem that all mosquitoes are biters, this is not actually the case. Male
mosquitoes eat plant nectar. On the other hand, female mosquitoes feed on animal blood.
They need this blood to live and produce eggs. When a female mosquito bites a human being,
it transmits a small amount of saliva into the blood. This saliva may or may not contain a
deadly disease. The result of the bite can be as minor as an itchy bump or as serious as death.
Because a mosquito can bite many people in the course of its life, it can carry diseases from
one person to another very easily. Two of the most deadly diseases carried by mosquitoes are
malaria and yellow fever. More than 700 million people become sick from these diseases
every year. At least 2 million of these people will die from these diseases. Many scientists are
working on safer and better ways to kill mosquitoes, but so far, there is no sure way to protect
everyone in the world from their deadly bites. Mosquito nets can be placed over beds to
protect people against being bitten. These nets help people stay safe at night, but they do not
kill any mosquitoes. Mosquitoes have many natural enemies like bats, birds, dragonflies, and
certain kinds of fish. Bringing more of these animals into places where mosquitoes live might
help to cut down the amount of mosquitoes in that area. This is a natural solution, but it does
not always work very well. Mosquitoes can also be killed with poisons or sprays. Even
though these sprays kill mosquitoes, they may also harm other plants or animals. Although
mosquitoes may not seem as scary as larger, more powerful animals, they are far more
dangerous to human beings. But things are changing. It is highly likely that one day scientists
will find a way to keep everyone safe from mosquitoes and the diseases they carry.
