adapted from The Cabuliwallah
by Rabindranath Tagore
He put his hand inside his big loose robe, and brought out a small and dirty piece of paper. With great care he unfolded this, and smoothed it out with both hands on my table. It bore the impression of an ink-smeared hand laid flat on the paper. This touch of his own little daughter had been always on his heart, as he had come year after year to Calcutta to sell his wares in the streets.
Tears came to my eyes. I forgot that he was just a Cabuli fruit-seller. But no, what was I more than he? He also was a father.
I sent for Mini immediately from the inner apartment. Clad in the red silk of her wedding-day, with the sandal paste on her forehead, and adorned as a young bride, Mini came, and stood bashfully before me.
I remembered the day when the Cabuliwallah and my Mini had first met, and I felt sad. When she had gone, Rahmun heaved a deep sigh, and sat down on the floor. The idea had suddenly come to him that his daughter too must have grown in this long time, and that he would have to make friends with her anew. Assuredly he would not find her as he used to know her, and besides, what might not have happened to her in these eight years?

Wind Farming: What's the Debate?
(1) There has been a lot of recent debate over fossil fuel consumption, greenhouse gases, and climate change. (2) Wind energy is one source of
energy that gets far less news coverage than the "big three" (oil, coal, and natural gas). (3) Nevertheless, it is a viable resource that should be
considered
(4) According to 1998 statistics provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, wind energy accounted for less than one-half of one percent of total energy
consumption in the United States. (5) By comparison, oil, coal, and natural gas accounted for 40 percent, 23 percent, and 23 percent, respectively. (6)
But the U.S. Department of Energy estimates that by 2020 wind energy will surpass total energy consumption in the United States today. (7) So by
2020, that little one-half of one percent will be the equivalent of all the energy consumed in 1998.
(8) What is wind farming? (9) It is the process of turning the force of the wind into electrical energy. (10) A wind farm is a collection of wind towers that
are hundreds of feet tall. (11) Each tower has blades that are spun by the wind, turning a turbine and generating electricity. (12) The towers are
spread in a pattern designed to take the best advantage of the available wind. (13) Not too close together. (14) Not too far apart. (15) Contrary to
some commonly held beliefs, the resulting array of towers can be quite majestic.

Read the poem and answer the question.

[1]I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
[5]Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
[10]Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
[15]A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed—and gazed—but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
[20]In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
