Read

the following

passage

and write

a summary

in not more

than l/3

of its

length:

s

What

is

it

that determines

an artist's

success

in his career

? That

is

a

question

to which

it is almost impossible

to

give

a

satisfactory

answer

off-hand.

Many

people

would be

ready

to contend

that the merit

of

his work

is

the

deciding factor,

that he

succeeds

simply

because

the evidence he

affords

to

his

ability is too convincing to

be disputed;

and to support

their arguments

they

are

undeniably able

to

quote

as exarnples

a number

of

universally

acknowledged

masters

who throughout their

lives were honoured

and

held in

high

regard. Yet

against

this

contention it is

possible

to find in

art history

even more

numerous

instances

of

men not

less

great,

who

struggled

year

after

year

for

a

recognition

which

did not

comg till

long

after they had died,

neglected

and disappointed.

Again,

if

it is by merit

alone that

success

is

won, how

does

it

happen

that the

chosen favourite

of the

public

is not

frequently

someone.

whose

obviously

indifferent

capacity does

not

entitle

him

to

position

assigned

by his

,

contemporaries.

Read the

following

passage

and answer the

questions

that

follow

:

One day, when

Newton

was fifty

years

old

and had

been

hard at

work

for

more than

twenty

years

studying the

theory

of light,

he

went

out

of his chamber,

leaving

his

little

dog asleep

before

the fire. On

the

table lay

a

heap

of

manuscript

papers

containing

all the

discoveries

which

Newton

had

made

during

those

twenty

years.

When

his

master

went out,

uprose

little

dog,

jumped

upon the

table

and overthrew

the

candle. The

papers

immediately

caught

fire

and the labour

of

twenty

years

were reduced

to a heap

of

ashes.

Newton

came

in

and saw

what

had happened.

He

simply

patted

the dog on

the head

with

his

'

usual kindness,

although

the grief

in

his heart was

$eat.

"Oh,

Diamond

Diamond

" He exclaimed,

"You littte know

the mischief

you

have

done
