HSC English First Paper Unit 5 Lesson 2: Affectionate
PART-1: READING TEST

1. Read the passage and answer the questions A and B.

After the war of independence was over, I continued to meet Kamal in the university. But on his return from the army he became busier and busier in politics, while I took to studying seriously and frequenting the library of the University of Dhaka regularly all day long and into early evenings. Nevertheless, even in brief exchanges Kamal, now the son of the Prime Minister of Bangladesh, made me feel that I was close to him. for he would not only exchange pleasantries but would also ask about me caringly and in the friendliest of manner. Friendliness came naturally to Sheikh Kamal and more often than not, he would greet you with a smile before you could do so.

There are two other occasions when I met Sheikh Kamal at this time. In the first. I was among the group of students who had secured the top positions in their Honors class and met Professor Abdul MatinChoudhury, our Vice-Chancellor in his office. The meeting was organized at Kamal’s initiative. The idea was that we would find the encounter inspirational and our Vice-Chancellor would get to meet a cross-section of the top performing students of a particular year to hear from them how the university could augment its academic facilities for future students.

That was the last time I would see Kamal, for two weeks later he was murdered, along with Bangabandhu and so many other family members. Among the dead was Kamal’s wife Sultana. another batch mate, an outstanding athlete and a very attractive person in every way. All of us were stunned by the events of August 15, 1975. The renegade murderous soldiers had left the nation drift for the immediate future and we had lost the father of our nation. Affectionate, lively and always smiling Kamal would no more greet us, batch mates and make us feel blessed in having him as a friend
