1. Read the following text and answer the questions that follow: (Lesson 13, The Man Who Planted Trees)
The next year the war came, in which I was engaged for five years. With the war behind me, I had a great desire to breath a little pure air, and I set out again along the trail through that deserted country. The land had not changed.
Ever since the day before, I had been thinking about the shepherd who planted trees. Ten thousand oaks, I had said to myself, must really take up a lot of space.
When I met Elzeard Bouffier this time, I found that the war had not disturbed him at all.
He had continued with his planting. The oaks of 1910 were now ten years old and were taller than me and than him. The scene was impressive. I was actually speechless and we passed the whole day in silence, walking through his forest.
It was in three sections, eleven kilometers long overall and at its widest point, three kilometers wide. When I considered that this had all sprung from the hands and from the soul of this one man-without technical aids-it struck me that men could be as effective as God in domains other than destruction.
