Comprehension:
Read
the
following passage
and answer
the
questionS
that
follow
:-
The
manager
of
an
office in
Shelford was
a hard-working
man
who
never
arrived late
and never
left
early. He
was honest, clean, well-dressed and
clever.
But
one
very important
quality
in
men
of
good
position
he had never
learnt,
and that
quality
was
politeness.
He never
took
the trouble to
be
polite;
he
never considered
the
feelings
of
his staff.
If
he
wanted
something
done,
he
did not
say,
..Do
you
rnind
doing
this
?' He
gave
an
order;
'Do
this
and
be quick
about
it.'
When
he
failed
to
hear a question
he was asked,
he never
said,
'l
beg
your
pardon
?
He
just
shouted,
'What
?
'The words
'Please'
and
'Thank
you'
formed
no
part
of
his conversation.
If
he had
spoken gently,
the work
of
the office would
have
been done
just
as
well,
and
probably
better; for
the staff
were good.
But
one
after
another
they
left
and
found
work
else where.
No
one
could
explain
to him
why
they
did not
stay.
[t was
difficult
to
go
to
the
manager
and
tell him
that
he ought
to
spe'ak
more
politely.
So,
he
neYer
understood
the
cause
of
the frequent
changes
in
the
office
stafi
and
irobably
did not
know how
impolite he was.
Even his
chief
clerk,
Hollis, who
had been
with
him
for
many
years,
was
getting
tired
of
his rough
way
of
speaking.
The
secretaries,
the
typists,
and even
the
office-boy,
had
often
complained
to
Hollis
and begged
him
to
tetiifre
manager
about
it;
but
he never
had
the
courage
to do this
until
one
Friday
evening,
when
heiuddenly
took his
opportunity.
Hollis
had worked
hard
for
several
nights
on
some
difficult
papers
that
the
manager
wanted
on Friday.
It
had
needed
a
great
effort
to
get
them finished,
but
Hollis
had
succeeded.
With
great satisfaction
he brought them
into
the
manager's
office
and
laid
them
on
his
desk,
thinking
that
this time
he
might
receive
a
word
of
praise.
The manager
looked
at
them
and said
nothing.
As
the
chief clerk
reached
the door
on his
way
out
of
the
office
he
turned round
and said,
'I
beg
your pardon,
Sir ?'
'I
didn't
speak'
said the
manager
shortly.
.oh
,
said Hollis. 'I
thought you
said
"Thank
you',.
