Page-01 Time: 3 Hours

Full Marks:100 Reading (50 Marks) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions 1&2. Meherjan lives in a slum on the Sirajgonj Town Protection Embankment. Her polythene-roofed shelter looks like a cage. She is nearly 45 but looks more than his age. In front of her shelter, she is trying to make a fire to cook the day's only meal. Her weak hands tremble as she adds some fallen leaves and straw to the fire. Thewhispering wind from the river Jamuna makes the fire unsteady. The dancing of the flames reminds

Meherjan of the turmoil in her life.

Not long ago Meherjan had everything-a family, cultivable land and cattle. The erosion of the Jamuna gradually consumed all her landed property. It finally claimed her only shelter during the last monsoon. It took the river only a day to demolish Maher's house, trees, vegetables, garden and the bamboo bush. She had a happy family once. Over the years, she lost her husband and her family to diseases that cruel hunger and poverty brought to the family. Now, she is the only one left to live on with the loss and the pain. The greedy Jamuna has shattered her dream and happiness. There are thousand others waiting to share the same fate with Meherjan. Bangladesh is a land of rivers that affects people. Erosion is a harsh reality for the people-living along the river banks. During each monsoon, many more villages are threatened by the roaring of rivers ike the Jamuna, the Padma and the Meghna. It is estimated that river erosion makes at least 100'000 people homeless every year in Bangladesh. In fact, River erosion is one of the main dangers caused

by climate change. If we can't take prompt actions to adapt climate change there will be thousands of more

Meherjan in our towns and villages every year.
