Read the passage below and answer the question no. 6-7
The Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Tunnel, running beneath the Karnaphuli River in Chittagong, is currently undergoing beautification ahead of its inauguration on October 28. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina is scheduled to inaugurate the tunnel. The premier is also scheduled to address a rally in Anwara area of Chittagong. The local Awami League has taken all-out preparations ahead of the PM’s visit to the city.
Harunur Rashid, director of the tunnel construction project, said: “The tunnel is now fully ready for vehicular movement. The vehicles have passed through it on a test basis several times already. Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina will inaugurate this project on October 28. The tunnel will be opened for vehicular traffic the next day. Construction of some buildings in the project area remains incomplete, which will be completed by December.”
Harunur Rashid also said that more than 100 CCTV cameras have been installed for tunnel security. At the same time, there will be police outposts and fire service stations on both sides. The tunnel will have a round-the-clock power supply, and two power sub-stations of 5MW and 10MW have been installed in the project area. He said: “One cannot cross the tunnel on foot. Similarly, motorcycles and three-wheelers will not be allowed in the tunnel.”
This project is jointly funded by the Governments of Bangladesh and China (G2G), at a total cost of Tk10,698 crore. The construction work for the tunnel is being carried out by the China Communication and Construction Company Limited (CCCC). Meanwhile, Chittagong City Corporation Mayor Md Rezaul Karim Chowdhury visited the road construction work in the tunnel area on Monday. He inspected the carpeting and beautification of the road.
The Bangladesh government is implementing this project on the ‘One City Two Towns’ concept, similar to Shanghai in China, on either side of the Karnaphuli River. Altogether, 12 types of vehicles will be subject to toll charges when using the 3.43km long Bangabandhu Tunnel. This is the first under-river tunnel in South Asia, expected to contribute 0.166% to the national economy by boosting employment, tourism, and industrialization. The Karnaphuli Tunnel is expected to improve the traffic situation in Chittagong significantly.

The Last Leaf
by O’Henry
In a small part of the city west of Washington Square, the streets have gone wild. They turn in different directions. They are broken into small pieces called “places.” One street goes across itself one or two times. A painter once discovered something possible and valuable about this street. Suppose a painter had some painting materials for which he had not paid. Suppose he had no money. Suppose a man came to get the money. The man might walk down that street and suddenly meet himself coming back, without having received a cent!
This part of the city is called Greenwich Village. And to old Greenwich Village, the painters soon came. Here they found rooms they like, with good light and at a low cost. Sue and Johnsy lived at the top of a building with three floors. One of these young women came from Maine, the other from California. They had met at a restaurant on Eighth Street. There they discovered that they liked the same kind of art, the same kind of food, and the same kind of clothes. So they decided to live and work together. That was in the spring.
Toward winter a cold stranger entered Greenwich Village. No one could see him. He walked around touching one person here and another there with his icy fingers. He was a bad sickness. Doctors called him Pneumonia. On the east side of the city, he hurried, touching many people; but in the narrow streets of Greenwich Village, he did not move so quickly.
Mr. Pneumonia was not a nice old gentleman. A nice old gentleman would not hurt a weak little woman from California. But Mr. Pneumonia touched Johnsy with his cold fingers. She lay on her bed almost without moving, and she looked through the window at the wall of the house next to hers. One morning the busy doctor spoke to Sue alone in the hall, where Johnsy could
not hear. The Last Leaf
“She has a very small chance,” he said. “She has a chance if she wants to live. If people don’t want to live, I can’t do much for them. Your little lady has decided that she is not
going to get well. Is there something that is troubling her?”
“She always wanted to go to Italy and paint a picture of the Bay of Naples,” said Sue.
“Paint! Not paint. Is there anything worth being troubled about? A man?”
“A man?” said Sue. “Is a man worth—No, doctor. There is not a man.”
“It is weakness,” said the doctor. “I will do all I know how to do. But when a sick
person begins to feel that he’s going to die, half my work is useless. Talk to her
about new winter clothes. If she were interested in the future, her chances would be
better.”
