1. Read the passage and answer the questions A and B.
................Hakaluki haor is a very important resting place for migratory waterfowls flying in from the north. The most interesting species is the Barheaded Goose, which is now hardly seen in fresh water wetlands. Many other important species of waterfowls make the Haor their temporary home. Unfortunately, illegal poaching has been a threat to the waterfowl population in this vast wetland. Hakaluki haor is known as a good grazing land in winter. People from villages around the Haor and also from distant areas send their herds for grazing. During this time, herders make temporary shelters near the beels and graze their animals for a period of 4-5 months. The Haor had very dense swamp forests in the past, but deforestation and a lack of conservation practices have virtually destroyed this unique forest in the last two decades.
Two small patches of swamp forests still exist in the area of which one is in Chatla beel and the other near the village of Kalikrishnapur. With the exception of these two swamp forest patches, the vegetation surrounding Hakaluki Haor is unique. It includes both swamp forest as well as mixed evergreen rain forest. Thatching material is the most useful natural wetland product of the area.
The haor system provides a wide range of economic and non-economic benefits to the local people as well as to the people of Bangladesh. These include fish production, rice production, cattle and buffalo rearing, duck rearing, collection of reeds and grasses, and collection of aquatic and other plants. The haor system also protects the lower floodplains from flash floods occurring in the months of April-May, maintains the supply of fish in other lower water bodies and provides habitat for migratory and local waterfowls.
The unique haor system contributes to the beauty of the landscape both during the monsoon and the dry season. In monsoon, its unique scenic beauty makes it a huge natural bowl of water and in the dry season it becomes a vast green grassland with pockets of beels serving as resting places for migratory birds. This unique natural system can be a major attraction for tourists.

...............হাকালুকি হাওরটি হচ্ছে উত্তর দিক হতে উড়ে আসা অতিথি জলচর পাখিদের একটি গুরুত্বপূর্ণ বিশ্রামের জায়গা। সবচেয়ে মজার প্রজাতি হচ্ছে বারহেডেড রাজহাঁস যেগুলো এখন মিঠা পানির জলাশয়ে কদাচিৎ দেখা যায়। জলচর পাখিদের আরও অনেক প্রজাতি হাওরটিকে তাদের অস্থায়ী আবাস স্থল বানিয়েছে। দুর্ভাগ্যবশত, অবৈধ পাখিশিকার এই বিস্তীর্ণ জলাশয়ে জলচর পাখিদের জন্য হুমকি হয়ে দাঁড়িয়েছে। শীতকালে খুব ভালো বিচরণ ক্ষেত্র হিসেবে হাকালুকি হাওর পরিচিত। হাওরের চারপাশের গ্রাম ও দূরবর্তী এলাকার জনগণ তাদের গরু ছাগল বিচরণের জন্য এখানে পাঠিয়ে দেয়। এ সময়, পশুপালকেরা বিলগুলোর নিকটে অস্থায়ী আশ্রয় নির্মাণ করে এবং ৪-৫ মাস ধরে তাদের প্রাণীগুলো এখানে চড়ায়/ বিচরণ করায়। অতীতে হাওরটিতে অত্যন্ত ঘন জলাশয় বন ছিল, কিন্তু বন নিধন এবং সংরক্ষণ অভ্যাসের ঘাটতি বিগত দুই দশকে এই দুর্লভ বনকে কার্যত ধ্বংস করেছে।
এ অঞ্চলে এখনো জলাশয় বনভূমির দুটি ছোট অংশ বিদ্যমান আছে যাদের একটি চাতলা বিলে এবং অপরটি কালিকৃষ্ণপুর গ্রামের নিকটে। এই দুইটি ক্ষুদ্র জলাশয় বনভূমি ব্যাতিরেকে হাকালুকি হাওরের চারিদিকের উদ্ভিদসমূহ অনুপম। এটা জলাশয় বন ও মিশ্র চিরসবুজ বৃষ্টি প্রধান ক্রান্তীয় অঞ্চলের জঙ্গল উভয়কে অন্তর্ভুক্ত করে। খড় দিয়ে ছাওয়ার উপকরণ এই অঞ্চলের সবচেয়ে উপকারী প্রাকৃতিক আর্দ্রভূমির উৎপন্ন দ্রব্য।
হাওর ব্যবস্থা আঞ্চলিক ও বাংলাদেশের জনগণকে অর্থনৈতিক ও অর্থনৈতিক নয় এমন বিস্তীর্ণ সুবিধা প্রদান করে। মৎস্য উৎপাদন, ধান উৎপাদন, গরু, ছাগল ও মহিষ পালন, হাঁস পালন, নলখাগড়া ও ঘাস সংগ্রহ এবং জলজ ও অন্যান্য উদ্ভিদ সংগ্রহ এদের অন্তর্ভুক্ত। হাওর ব্যবস্থা এপ্রিল-মে মাসে সংঘটিত আকস্মিক বন্যার হাত থেকে নিচু প্লাবন সমভূমিকে রক্ষা করে, অন্যান্য নিচু জলাশয়ের মাছের সরবরাহ বজায় রাখে এবং অতিথি ও স্থানীয় জলচর পাখিদের বাসস্থানের যোগান দেয়।
অনুপম হাওর ব্যবস্থা বর্ষা ও শুকনো উভয় ঋতুতে স্থলভাগের দৃশ্যের সৌন্দর্য বর্ধনে অবদান রাখে। বর্ষাকালে এর অপরূপ সৌন্দর্য একে একটি বিশাল প্রাকৃতিক জলাধারে পরিণত করে এবং শুক্নো মৌসুমে এটা বিলের ছোট ছোট অংশসহ একটি বিস্তীর্ণ সবুজ ঘাসজমিতে পরিণত হয় যা অতিথি পাখিদের বিচরণ ক্ষেত্র। এই অপূর্ব প্রাকৃতিক ব্যবস্থা ভ্রমণকারীদের জন্য একটি প্রধান আকর্ষণ হতে পারে।

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face; And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly how Love fled
And paced upon the mountains overhead
And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.
