READ AND ANSWER ABOUT THIS PASSAGE

PASSAGE I : Thaksin makes emotional homecoming
Thailands ousted former prime minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, made an emotional homecoming after a 17month exile yesterday and was immediately charged with corruption.
Emerging from Bangkoks airport after formally surrendering to police, Mr Thaksin prostrated himself,
touching his forehead to the ground, hands clasped in a sign of respect, before briefly greeting throngs of
cheering supporters.
He was immediately whisked to the Supreme Court, where he was freed on bail. He vowed to clear his
name, saying charges against him were made up by the military to justify the coup that ousted him in
September 2006, though he insisted he had no thoughts of vengeance.
I have the heart of a sportsman when the game is finished its finished, he told a packed press
conference at a Bangkok hotel. Earlier he told reporters: When the game is over, we must come together
and settle our differences, forgive each other and help push the country forward.
Mr Thaksin, Thailands longest serving elected prime minister before he was driven from power, insisted
yesterday he would never, ever return to active politics and wanted to live quietly and peacefully with
my family just like any other Thai person.
But most Thais believe the charismatic former telecommunications mogul, who remains highly popular
among the rural poor, will exert a strong behind-the-scenes influence on the newly elected government,
led by the Peoples Power party, which is packed with his supporters.
