Questions
26 - 31are based on the following passage.
The passage below describes how Misha and her husband, Malik, coped after Misha became blind' Read
the passage carefutly and answer the questions thatfollow.
1 The passengers watched sympathetically as the young woman with the white stick
made her way carefully up the steps of the bus. She paid the driver and used her hands to
feel for a seat. Then, she sat down with the stick resting against her leg.
2 It had been a year since Misha, thirty-four, became blind. Because of a medical
problem, she was suddenly thrown into a world of darkness. Misha, who was once an 5
independent woman, felt condemned to be a burden on everyone around her. All she had
to cling to was her husband, Malik, an army officer who loved her dearly.
3 When Misha first lost her sight, she sank into despair, but Malik was determined to
help her become independent again. After a few months, she was finally ready to retum
to her
job.
She used to take the bus, but was now too frightened to get around the city by 10
herself. So, how would she get there? Malik volunteered to drive her to work each day,
bven though they worked at opposite ends of the city.
4 At first, this comforted Misha and fulfilled Malik's need to protect his wife, who had
lost confidence in doing even the simplest task. Soon, however, this transport arangement
was becoming too tiring for him. He realised that she would have to start taking ttie bus 15
again, but
just
the thought of mentioning this to her upset him. She was still so fragile, so
angry. How would she react?
5 Just as Malik had expected, Misha was horrified at the idea of taking the bus again.
Her heart was full of anger. "How can you do this to me? I am blind!" she responded
bitterly. "How am I supposed to know where I am going? I feel as if you are abandoning 20
me. Don't you love me anymore?"
6 Malik's heart broke when he heard those words, but he knew what he had to do. He
promised her that, each moming and evening, he would ride the bus with her, for as long
as it took for her to get used to it. And that was exactly what happened. For two whole
weeks, Malik, in firll military uniform, accompanied Misha to and from work each day. 25
He taught her how to rely on her other senses, especially her hearing, and how to adapt to
her new situation.
Malik helped her make friends with the bus drivers, who would watch out for her'
They even saved her a seat. Malik made her laugh, even on those bad days when she
tripped as she left the bus or dropped her briefcase. Each moming, they made the
journey
together and Malik would take a taxi back to his office. Although this routine was even
more expensive and more tiring than the previous one, he knew it was
just
a matter of time
before she would be able to ride the bus on her own. He believed in her, in the Misha he
used to know, who was not afraid of any challenges and who would never, ever quit'
Indeed, she soon became confident enough to start travelling on her own. One day, as
she was about to get off the bus, the driver said, "Madam,
I really envy you. It must feel
so good to be taken care of and protected like you are."
Misha had no idea what the driver was talking about, and asked, "What do you mean?"
The driver answered, "You know, every morning, a gentleman in a military uniform
stands on the other side of the road watching you as you leave the bus. He makes sure 40
you cross the road safely and he watches you until you enter your office building. Then
he blows you a kiss and walks away. You are a forhrnate woman."
1l Tears of happiness flowed down her cheeks. Although she could not see her husband,
she had always felt his presonce. Misha was lucky, so lucky, for he had given her a gift
more powerful than sight, a gift she did not need to see to believe - a gtft of love that can 45
bring light where there has been darkness.
