I. READ THE FOLLOWING PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOWS:
One went in, not as into most shops, but restfully, as one enters a church, and sitting on the single wooden chair, waited. A guttural sound, and the tip-tap of his slippers beating the narrow wooden stairs and he would stand before one without coat, a little bent, in leather apron, with sleeves turned back, blinking—as if awakened from some dream of boots.
And I would say, “How do you do, Mr Gessler? Could you make me a pair of Russian-leather boots?”

2. What kind of boots did the author want?
3. Find a word from the passage which meaning is opposite of ‘asleep’.
