paragraphs.Identify the paragraph from which the information isderived.You may choose a paragraph more than once.A)My mother died last year,aged 107.As I was 74 at that time,and as noone is fully grown-up until both their parents are dead(so they say),Iprobably remained a child well into old age.I was a“bonded“child.Abonding between mother and child was essential for the wellbeing andhealthy development of the baby,and she determined that was how itwould be between us.A strong,long-lasting attachment between a babyand mother,father,carer,or whoever,is the most important factor ininfant development.B)So I was cherished.She had tried very hard to bond with my brother,bornthree years earlier,but he had demonstrated that he wasnt having any ofit.He was pleased when I arrived,therefore,as it meant that the spotlightof attention moved from him to me.I was the bonding type.My mummywas the best mummy in the world.No one understood me hke mymummy,and most importantly no one talked to me like my mummy.Because talk she did.All about her childhood,her mother,her father,herbrothers and sisters,and the First World War.C)She was Mummy.We had the war,we had Hitler but I was alwaysgoing to be safe because I had Mummy;I was seriously ill but I got betterbecause I had Mummy;we had the 1947 snow and ice for three monthsbut it was fine because,when I got home,I had Mummy and she put mywoolen gloves and socks on top of the boiler to dry.In the summer wehad a heat wave and she made jugs of lemonade.D)But we all grew up and our perceptions altered.The adult I became foundMother much less perfect than the child had done.I realized that some ofher opinions were racist,some were snobbish all were ill-thought out.She was also a nuisance interfering in my life,worrying about mywelfare continually and wanting to know every last detail of my existenceso that she could worry about me further.She telephoned me daily,wemet for shopping trips involving lengthy,conversational lunches-andevery time we chat I let slip personal information I had intended to keepto myself.E)Why was this?I had no idea.I only knew that the habit of“tellingMummy everything and“always telling Mummy the truth”was one Iwas unable to break.I had given her another rope to reel me back in with.Another rope with which she could bond me.How could I lead anindependent life if Mother was always part of it?She criticized my choiceof friends,my hairstyle,and my clothes and,of course,any men Iassociated with were always unsuitable.We argued.She told me shewanted me to be happy.I told her she was possessive.She said she didnthave a daughter any more.I said she was being melodramatic.She cried.I told her to shut up.She told me I had turned into a horrible person.Icried.I said sorry.She said sorry.So it went on.Year after year.F)I married,I became a television producer,and I ran a career.I retired.Igot divorced.(UI told you he wasnt suitable.”)I married for the secondtime at the age of 68.(Make sure he looks after you.)I was a maturewoman.In confidence and experience I had outstripped her.But Iremained“bonded”.I joked about it.Its fine being a bonded child but when you are over 60 and still bonded to your mother you wonderwhats going on.But I couldnt say,“Listen,Mother,I dont agree withyou over so many things;you may think we see eye to eye,but,frankly,we dont.I am not who you think I am.I am me and I dont want to belike you.G)When she reached 100 she began to worry about me again.You will beon your own when I die.When you5re old,whos going to care for you?You wont have a daughter to look after you.”“Well,good,I said.Thatmeans no long-suffering female child will have to put up with mydeafness,my demands,my irritability and the general strain imposed bythe elderly on their young.H)But I wondered how I would feel when she did die.She made it clear thatit was no fun being a blind,partially deaf centenarian.:2010102Z9064319W9Directions:In this section,you are going to read a passage with tenstatements attached to it.Each statement contains information given in oneof the paragraphs.Identify
