Question 1-5. Read the passage given and answer the question that follow
When I learned that my 71 year old mother was playing chess against herself, I knew had to do something. Who's playing?" I asked one day when I saw a half-finished game on the table. “My right hand versus left. 'Excuse me?” I said. 'Well, father doesn't play dreading defeat. Still, I want to keep my mind sharp.
My husband suggested we give her a computer to play against. We packed up our old PC and delivered it to my parent's home. And thus began my mother's adventure in the world of computers. My mother sat mesmerized as the screen lit up and the various icons presented themselves. Slowly, but steadily, my mother caught on, making notes in a little spiral notebook. I wondered how she would fare without me. But thereafter, she only spoke about her game on the computer to me. She even forgot to ask the stock question. What did you have for supper? Instead, she talked about RAM, ROM and the CPU -terms spilled out effortlessly from her mouth. My mother had acquired a new mother tongue. I am learning that no matter how old you are, a willing spirit is capable of anything.
