the following passage carefully and answer the questions from 118
to 123. Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, of number four, Privet Drive, were
proud to say that they were perfectly normal, thank you very much.
They were the last people youd expect to be involved in anything
strange or mysterious, because they just didnt hold with such
nonsense. Mr. Dursley was the director of a firm called Grunnings,
which made drills. He was a big, beefy man with hardly any neck,
although he did have a very large mustache. Mrs. Dursley was thin
and blonde and had nearly twice the usual amount of neck, which
came in very useful as she spent so much of her time craning over
garden fences, spying on the neighbors. The Dursleys had a small
son called Dudley and in their opinion there was no finer boy
anywhere. The Dursleys had everything they wanted, but they also
had a secret, and their greatest fear was that somebody would
discover it. They didnt think they could bear it if anyone found
out about the Potters. Mrs. Potter was Mrs. Dursleys sister, but
they hadnt met for several years; in fact, Mrs. Dursley pretended
she didnt have a sister, because her sister and her
good-for-nothing husband were as unDursleyish as it was possible to
be. The Dursleys shuddered to think what the neighbors would say if
the Potters arrived in the street. The Dursleys knew that the
Potters had a small son, too, but they had never even seen him.
This boy was another good reason for keeping the Potters away; they
didnt want Dudley mixing with a child like that. --------------

PAPER (127-129) PASSAGE: Read the following passage from your
Supplementary Reader I carefully and answer the questions from 127
to 129. A square, balustraded gallery ran round the top of the old
hall. It could be approached by a double stair. From this central
point two long corridors extended the whole length of the building
and from which all the bedrooms opened. My bedroom was in the same
wing as Sir Henrys. These rooms were much more modern and brighter
than the central part of the house. The dining room which opened
out of the hall was a long and dark room. We talked very little
while eating. After dinner we sat in the modern billiard room to
smoke. It isnt a very cheerful place, is it? said Sir Henry. I
suppose we will get used to it, but right now I dont feel
comfortable at all. No wonder my uncle was nervous, living all
alone in such a house. Shall we retire early tonight? Perhaps in
the morning, it might seem a bit more cheerful. 127) Who is the
