1. Read this passage.

You must have heard of the famous swimmer Michael Phelps. Here is an imaginary interview with him. You will be surprised to know his daily diet

Interviewer : Hello Michael! It is fortunateto have you here with us.

Michael: My pleasure.

Interviewer: So Michael, tell us at what age did you start swimming ?

Michael: It must be when I was seven. Partly I was influenced by my elder sisters and partly it was a sort of outlet for my energy.

Interviewer: Did you ever think that you would become a world champion swimmer one day ? Can you tell us how many medals you have won in Olympics ?

Michael :Ahh! FranklyI actually did not think I would become a champion. But it feels good to have 22 Olympic medals in my bag.

Interviewer : That is indeed remarkable it requires great strength and energy. Tell us about your diet and food habits. What keeps you fit?

Michael: I eat a lot actually. I usually take heavy breakfast with three fried egg sandwiches with a lot of

cheese, salad, tomato, fried onions, and mayonnaise. I also drink two cups of coffee, and eat a five egg omelette, one bowl of boiled corn, three slices of French toast with powdered sugar, and three chocolate chip pancakes.

Interviewer: That is indeed a heavy breakfast. What do you have in your lunch and dinner then ?

Michael: In lunch I take 500 grams of pasta with tomato sauce, two large ham and cheese sandwiches with mayonnaise on bread, plus energy drinks. My dinner includes another 500 grams of pasta with sauce, a whole pizza of six or eight slices, and more energy drinks.

Interviewer : This is really too much

GSEB Solutions Class 9 English Chapter 8 A Day in the Life of an Indian Fighter Pilot

Michael :Yes I know that. But my health experts and physicians say that I can probably eat to this extent because my body is able to burn that much calories which is faster than an average man.

Interviewer :Yes, I had read somewhere that Michael Phelps possibly consumes 12,000 calories each day. But itā€™s required, I think, because the kind of exercise and training you are involved in for swimming requires great energy and stamina BH, Moreover, you are said to swim nearly 80 kilometres per week. And undoubtedly it requires great strength.

Michael :Well, thatā€™s true.
Interviewer : OK Michael! Thanks a lot

Now he begins to taxi. On the runway, wingman Tyagi joins him in another MiG-21, which is a single-seater fighter plane. Take off permission received, the two pilots accelerate on the runway.

(11) (violently, check point, target)
At 6.55 a.m. they reach their first check point – a village named Mirthal down on the earth. Kukee begins to time his target. As they rise up to 450 metres Tyagiā€™s plane rocks violently due to air bumps.

(12) (bomb, vanish, bumpy)
ā€œA bit bumpy here,ā€ says Tyagi on radio. ā€œBreakfast may come up before the bomb goes down,ā€ Kukee jokes. Two Hunters appear far to the right as ā€˜enemyā€™ planes. They turn away and vanish.

(13) (dive, disappeared, approaching)
There are clouds all around. The earth has disappeared too. The MiGs are fast approaching the target. Now both the planes dive below the clouds, their planes are flying lower.

(14) (procedures, releases, opportunity)
Kukee sees the target, an ā€˜enemyā€™ tank and he releases the bomb. This is a perfect opportunity to rehearse attack procedures and bomb aiming.

(15) (target, accurate, captures)
At the time of firing, automatic camera captures the action. The two planes circle, then come down on another target, a bridge. There was a strong wind therefore they released the bombs earlier, but with accurate calculation.

(16) (effective, report to, admired)
Back at the base, they report to the army man. He admired them, ā€œCommanders, your planes were in the right place at the right time. You have given effective support to the Army.ā€

(17) (sortie, flying, devoted to)
Like every Indian fighter pilot, Kukee Suresh does several hundred hours of flying in a year. Generally, two daytime flights and one night sortie. This means that more than half of his working hours are devoted to flying, mission planning and reporting.

(18) (instructor, techniques, accurate)
For the rest of time, 41 year old Kukee is an attack instructor, an air combat leader and a teacher of accurate weapon delivery techniques.

(19) (desk, maintain, proficiency)
He also sees that all the pilots in his squadron maintain this proficiency. Every few years, a pilot is ā€˜restedā€™ for a year or two at a desk job.
