READING

Q.1 Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. 

1. Few animals are as useful or as unpopular as the goat. From ancient times, it has supplied people with milk and meat. Its skin has been made into leather and the wool of some breeds woven into soft, warm cloth. Goats are hardy creatures, and can live on the green remains of thorny bush or a poor grassland. Nevertheless, they have always had a bad reputation. Perhaps this is because the Billy goats (males) often have a bad temper and a strong, unpleasant smell. Goats also do serious damage to young trees and other plants, and can quickly reduce lush grazing land to barren wasteland.

2.For its size, the goat provides man with more useful things than almost any other animal, yet it often does not receive the food and care given to other animals. The goat will try to eat anything and will put up with the most uncomfortable surroundings. But if it is well fed and carefully housed, the goat will produce much better milk, flesh and wool.

3.The goat is very closely related to then sheep. In fact, it looks very much like a sheep except from three things. It has a shorter tail which turns up instead of hanging down. Goats (both males and females) have beards and backward slanting horns, whereas male sheep (rams) have curly horns. Goats have a hairy coat while sheep have a wooly one.

4.Goats can be divided into three groups—the Swiss goats, the eastern goats, and the wool goats. The Swiss goats, which are found all over Europe and have upright, pointed ears, produce a fine quality of milk. Goat’s milk is considered to be especially good for babies and invalids because it is easier to digest than cow’s milk. It is also made into cheese and used in the manufacture of the famous Swiss chocolate. The eastern goats which have long, drooping ears, are raised both for mild and flesh. They are also valued for their short wool, which may be black, tan or white. However, the best wool comes from two goats in the third group—the Angora and he Cashmere breeds. The Angora which came originally from near Ankara, the capital of Turkey, is now bred in Eastern Europe, southern Africa, Australia and the United States. The smaller Cashmere goat is difficult to raise outside its native home of Kashmir. Its soft under-hair has long been used to make the famous Cashmere shawls.
