[ 25 marks IQuestions 26 - 30

Read the passage below and answer the questions tlnt follow.

A few hours after the birth of her son in August 1965, Marian Burke'sdoctor stood by her bed and said, "Your son has Down Syndrome." The words cuttbrough Marian and her husband, Frank like a knife. They could not imagine their sonbeing retarded, probably never be able to read or even feed himself Th€ doctoradvised thsm to institutionalize him but they were determined to care for their son.Tbey took Christopher home.

Christopher's condition becarne more evident gradually as his speech waslured and garbled. He was two years old before he took his first wobbly steps. Thelearning ability of a Dorvn Syndrome child can be raised by exercises andstimulation. The Burke family did just that from the very beginning. Christopher'ssisters, Anne and Ellen, sat with him in front ofa minor and played a game to helphim talk. They said words for him to Epeat and soon he was able to say those words.His brother, J.R, worked on his coordination. He taught Christopher to swim and playbasketball-

One aftemoon when Chris was eight years old, he found a box of 15photoFaphs taken of J.R, Ellen and Anne when they were child actors intelevision commercials. Haltingly, he announced, '.1 want to do that. I want to be onTV too". His parents couldn't bring themselves to tell him the truth. Chris neverforgot his dream. Over and over, he practiced lip-syncing his favourite htnes anddancing whenever a teacher in his school put on a record.

Chris completed his special school education at the age of21. His familyhelped him look for a rcgular job but to no avail. Both his sisters had their ownfamilies and they knew that Chris was a caring and loving person. At last Ellenmanaged to get Chris a volunteer's job at a school for children with severedisabilities.

But, in his heart, Chris was still set on going to Hollywood. His brother talkedto him, hoping to make him awate of his impossible dream- Chris, however was notgoing to give up. When he was 19, he had seen a TV programme that featured a ten-y€ar-old actor narned Jason Kingsley who had Dolr'n Syndrome. Chris had writtenJason to congratulate him. Jason's mother, Emily Kingsley, responded with a warmnote.
