About 771 BCE, a barbarian invasion drove the Zhou rulers eastwards. During this time, the state of Qin became responsible for guarding the western frontier and they gradually moved eastward and eventually occupied the original Zhou domains. Thus, the Qin became a close ally of the Zhou and they also had marriage relations with the Zhou ruling class. King Ping of Zhou (r. 770-720 BCE) transferred titles of the nobility and huge estates to the chief of Qin.

(A) Read the following text loudly.
I’m Anupama. I travelled from Jumla to Surkhet by flight on June 5, 2019. It was my first flight experience. I reached the airport at 9:30 am. After some formal chit-chat, I went for the security check. The flight was scheduled to leave at 10:00 am. The flight was on time and I had the window seat. I was waiting for the takeoff. Before the takeoff, the pilot made an announcement. The air hostess informed us about safety rules. Now the time came… Firstly the plane moved on the runway till the opposite end. But finally, it took an about-turn and the speed increased. Within a few seconds, I was in the sky. The view was breathtaking. The roads and buildings seemed like lines and toys. My ears were humming initially when the plane increased the height, but later on everything was fine. Finally, I reached Surkhet at 10:30 am. It was one of the most memorable experiences of my life!
