The English translations of the Sinhala reading passages found in the Gair/Karunatilaka LITERARY SINHALA textbook (1974) are now available in a pdf file on the AISLS Instructional Resources for Sinhala and Tamil webpage.  There is no cost to download the file for personal use.  This should be especially useful for those using the textbook without an instructor.
