In nature, water keeps on changing its form. The heat of the sun evaporates the water on the surface of the
earth into vapour. The evaporation of water takes place from oceans, rivers, lakes and ponds all the time.
Sometimes, it is slow and sometimes, it is fast.The reverse process of evaporation is condensation, in which
water vapour change into water by cooling The formation of clouds, rain and water cycle is due to these two
processes. Like evaporation, condensation also plays very important role in nature. Because of

Read the passages given below and answer the questions that follow:
Passage I:
1. The sage of science, Einstein, was sitting in a depressive and pensive mood one evening. His eyes
were brimming with tears. The pain was evident on his face. He peeped out of the window of his
room. The sun had set a few minutes back. The sky was filled with a reddish glow. At this sunset, he
felt that it was humanity that had sunk into devilish darkness and the reddish glow in the sky was
the blood of humanity spilling all over the sky from earth. With tired steps, he walked back to his
chair and settled down. It was the 9th of August 1945. Three days back, he had felt the same agony
as if someone had tom him apart. He was deeply hurt and depressed when he heard on the radio
2.
3.
4. that America had dropped an atom bomb on the Japanese city, Hiroshima. Today, within three day
another bomb was dropped on another city, Nagasaki and lakhs of people had been killed.
2. He had heard that the blast released so much energy that it had paled all past destructions in
comparison and death had played out a pitiable dance of destruction. The flames that broke out of the
bomb were burning, melting and exploding buildings. Scared of the heat of the bomb, people had
jumped into lakes and rivers, but the water was boiling and the people too were burnt and killed. The
animals in the water were already boiled to death. Animals, trees, herbs, fragrant flowering plants were
all turned into ashes. The atomic energy destruction had just not stopped there. It had entered the
atmosphere there and had spread radiation that would affect people for generations to come and would
also bring about destructive irreversible biological change in animals and plants.
3. As the news of the atomic attack reached Einstein, and he became aware of the glaring horror of the
abuse of atomic energy, his distress and restlessness knew no bounds. He could not control himself and
picked up his violin to turn his mind on to other things. While playing the violin, he tried to dissolve his
distress in its sad notes, but couldn’t. He was burning on the embers of destruction; his heart was filled
with an ocean of agony and tears just continued streaming uncontrollably out of his eyes. Night had
fallen. His daughter came up and asked him to eat something as he had not taken anything for the last
four days. His voice was restrained and he said, “I don’t feel like eating.”
4. He could not sleep that night. Lying down, he was thinking how he had drawn the attention of the
then American President Roosevelt towards the destructive powers of an atomic bomb. He had thought
that this would be used to scare Hitler and put an end to the barbarism that Hitler was up to. However,
Roosevelt kept him in the dark and made false promises. Eventually, he had abused Einstein’s equation
of E = mc2 that
resulted in the destructive experiments. His actions had made science and scientists as murderers.
Einstein kept on thinking for a long time. Eventually, he slipped into sleep. When he woke up at dawn,
there was a new dawn in him too. The atomic threat had transformed his heart.
5. The next day, he decided to disassociate himself from the scientific policy of the government and all
governmental institutions. He decided to open educational institutions for children, adolescents and
youth—institutions where along with science, spirituality will be compulsorily taught.
6. To inaugurate this institution, he had invited two great philosophers, Bertrand Russell and Albert
Schweitzer. Ten other great scientists who had own Nobel Prizes in different fields were also invited.
They all saw a different Einstein, not a great scientist but a sage in him. The institution was opened by
garlanding a photo of Mahatma Gandhi. While garlanding the Mahatma, he became emotional and said
with a lump in his throat, “I bow down to the great man who fought for the independence of his country
through non-violence. He could do so because he was a truthful man and true spiritualist.”
7. Those who teach science should be taught, spirituality too. Without harmony between science and
spirituality, the
destruction would continue unabated. A few years after this institution was built, a Japanese delegation
came to meet him. Einstein broke down in the meeting and said. “You can give me any punishment and I
will accept it. Anyway, I
have decided to lead my life in penitence.” The Japanese were moved by this sincerity and forgot their
grief.
Question 1.1. On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, answer each of the questions
given below by choosing the most appropriate option :
(a) Besides two great philosophers how many other scientists were invited by Einstein to inaugurate
the institution where spirituality would be compulsorily taught?
(i) Five (ii) Ten (iii) Eight (iv) Fifteen
(b) Which musical instrument did Einstein play when he was in grief?
(i) Harmonium (ii) Guitar (iii) Violin (iv) Flute
(c) Einstein came to know that America had dropped an atom bomb on the Japanese city, Hiroshima
through
(i) television (ii) newspaper (iii) radio (iv) a telephonic message
(d) Which American President was told about the destructive power of an atomic bomb?
(i) Kennedy (ii) Bill Clinton (iii) Lincoln (iv) Roosevelt
(e) Einstein said to the Japanese delegation,
(i) “You can give me any punishment and I will accept it.”(ii) “I am not at fault.”
(iii) “What could I do?”(iv) “The President didn’t agree to my advice.”
Question 1.2.Answer the following questions briefly:
(a) What did Einstein do to overcome his distress after getting the news of the atomic attack?
(b) Which event in 1945, according to Einstein, turned science and scientists into murderers?
(c) What did Einstein do to show his displeasure over the atomic attack?
(d) Whose photo was garlanded at the inauguration of Einstein’s institute for children, adolescents and
youth?
(e) Name the philosophers that Einstein invited to inaugurate the new institution.
(f) Why did Einstein want harmony between science and spirituality while teaching in educational
institutes?
Find words/phrases from the passage which are similar in meaning to each of the following :
(a) mental pain (para 1)(b) agreement (para 7)(c) regret/remorse (para 7)
Passage II:
1. ‘‘But have you been to Nimtita? Have you been to the palace there?’’ asked the old man in the
tea-shop, with the thatched roof. We were in the village of Lalgola, one hundred and fifty miles
from Kolkata, and we had just seen our
thirteenth nobleman’s palace and found it unsuitable.
2. ‘‘Nimtita? Where is that?’’ we asked without much interest. We had never heard of the place. ‘‘It is
sixty miles to the North of here. You drive up the highway. Then you come to a river which you have to
cross. A ferry will take your car across. Then up the highway again fortwenty miles. A sign tells you
where to branch off... It’s on the river Padma, on the eastern bank. It’s the palace of the Choudharys.
I’ve been listening to your talk, and I feel you ought to see this one before you give up.’’
3. We were not very hopeful. We had had enough trouble taking free advice from people who had no
idea of our needs. Anyway, the question was: do we or do we not undertake this last trip? If we did not
like the palace, it might mean either giving up making this film altogether, or seriously changing its
nature. We tossed a coin to decide whether to go or not. The coin said, ‘Go!’, and we set out on our
sixty-mile journey.
4. It was when I was in bed with my right leg in plaster that I had decided the film on
TarasankarBanerji’s famous short story, ‘The Music Room’ (Jalsaghar). A nasty fall on the stone steps at
Banaras had brought about a serious knee injury. I lay in bed and read all the Bengali books I could lay
my hands on. Just then, the film distributors were not too keen to take my film for distribution, and
may be this was one of the things that made me choose ‘The Music Room’
5. Here was a dramatic story which could naturally bring in music and dancing, and distributors loved
music and dancing. But here, too, was a story full of feelings. So, it would be satisfying for me as an
artist. I would cast ChabiBiswas, our greatest actor, in the leading role of the zamindar — the zamindar
whose love of the big musical
entertainments brings about his ruin. But the most important thing was to find a palace. As we had a
low budget, there was no question of having studio-built sets. I knew that, if we had the money, my art
director could easily build a set which looked like our old palace with the right style. But we just didn’t
have the money for it.
6. Nimtita turned out to be everything that the old man had claimed — and more. No one could have
described in words the feeling of utter sadness that surrounded the palace. The river Padma had
changed its course over the years, so that now there were endless stretches of sand where once had
been villages. The palace itself — Greek pillars and all — was a perfect realization of my dream.image.
It stood looking out over the stretches of sand with a sad dignity. It had somehow escaped being totally
destroyed when the river changed its course. The river had reached within ten yards of the front of the
palace — having swallowed the garden — and then stopped Ganendra Narayan Choudhary, who is
seventy and owns a British title and the palace, told us how it happened: ‘‘We were having
breakfastone morning when we heard a low rumble. We went out to the verandah and saw a big
chunk of our estate — almost a square mile of it — going under water, disappearing forever. It all
happened in a few seconds. Padma’s appetite is legendary.’’
7. ‘‘But aren’t you afraid that the river might encroach further ?’’
8. ‘‘Oh, yes, the rains bring with them the usual fears.’’
9. On returning from our first trip to Nimtita, I telephoned the author, Mr. Banerji. He had been just as
anxious about the location as we were.
10. ‘‘We’ve found our palace at last, Mr. Banerji,’’ I said.

Passage III:
A stout old lady was walking with her basket down the middle of a street in Petrograd to the great
confusion of the traffic and with no small peril to herself. It was pointed out to her that the pavement
was the place for foot passengers, but she replied: 'I‘m going to walk where I like. We‘ve got liberty
now.‘ It did not occur to the dear old lady that if liberty entitled the foot-passenger to walk down the
middle of the road it also entitled the cab-driver to drive on the pavement, and that the end of such
liberty would be universal chaos. Everybody would be getting in everybody else‘s way and nobody
would get anywhere. Individual liberty would have become social anarchy.
There is a danger of the world getting liberty-drunk in these days like the old lady with the basket, so it
is just as well to remind ourselves of what the rule of the road means. It means that in order that the
liberties of all may be preserved, the liberties of everybody must be curtailed. When the policeman,
say, at Piccadilly Circus steps into the middle of the road and puts out his hand, he is the symbol not of
tyranny, but of liberty. You may not think so, you may, and being in a hurry and seeing your motor-car
stopped by this insolence of office, feel that your liberty has been violated. How dare this fellow
interfere with your free use of the public highway? Then, if you are a reasonable person, you will
reflect that if he did not interfere with you he would interfere with no one, and the result would be
that you would never cross Piccadilly Circus at all. You have submitted to a curtailment of private
liberty in order that you may enjoy a social order which makes your liberty a reality.
Liberty is not a personal affair only, but a social contract. It is an adjustment of interests. In matters
which do not touch anybody else‘s liberty of course, I may be as free as I like. If I have a fancy for
dyeing my hair, or waxing my moustache, or wearing a tall hat or going to bed late or getting up early, I
shall follow my fancy and ask no man‘s permission. In all these and a thousand other details you and I
please ourselves and asks no one‘s leave. We have whole kingdoms, in which we rule alone, can do
what we choose, be wise or ridiculous, harsh or easy, conventional or odd. But directly we step out of
that kingdom, our personal liberty of action is restricted by other people‘s liberty. I might like to
practise on the trombone from midnight till three in the morning. If I went to the top of a hill to do it, I
could please myself but if I do it out in the streets the neighbours will remind me that my liberty to
blow the trombone must not interfere with their liberty to sleep in quiet. There are a lot of people in
the world, and I have to accommodate my liberty to their liberties.
1. Answer the following questions.
(a) Why does the writer think that the old lady with the basket was wrong in her interpretation of
liberty?
(b) The policeman at Piccadilly Circus is a symbol of liberty and not tyranny. Explain.
(c) What does the writer mean by the phrase ‗liberty drunk?‘ How is liberty a social contract?
(d) When does individual liberty become anarchy? Give two examples.

(a)Peril
 i) danger ii) threat iii) curse iv) pride
(b) anarchy
(i) complete neglect of law and rule (ii)complete neglect of order
(iii) complete ignorance (iv) complete subordination
(c) insolence
i) good behaviour ii) insulting or offensive behaviour
iii) plausible behaviour iv) rude behaviour
(d) curtailed
(i) enhanced ii) reduced iii) decreased iv) obscured
Passage IV:
1.That large animals require luxuriant vegetation has been a general assumption which has passed
from one work to another, but I do not hesitate to say that it is completely false and that it has vitiated
the reasoning of geologists on some points of great interest in the ancient history of the world. The
prejudice
has probably been derived from India, and the Indian islands, where troops of elephants, noble forests,
and impenetrable jungles, are associated together in everyone’s mind. If, however, we refer to any
work of travels through the southern parts of Africa, we shall find allusions in almost every page either
to the desert character of the country or to the numbers of large animals inhabiting it. The same thing
is rendered evident by the many engravings which have been published of various parts of the interior.
2. Dr Andrew Smith, who has lately succeeded in passing the Tropic of Capricorn, informs me that,
taking into consideration the whole of the southern part of Africa, there can be no doubt of its
being a sterile country. On the southern coasts, there are some fine forests, but with these
exceptions, the traveller may pass for days together through open plains, covered by poor and
scanty vegetation. Now, if we look to the animals inhabiting these wide plains, we shall find their
numbers extraordinarily great, and their bulk immense.
3. It may be supposed that although the species are numerous, the individuals of each kind are few. By
the kindness of Dr Smith, I am enabled to show that the case is very different. He informs me, that in
lat. 24′, in one day’s march with the bullock-wagons, he saw, without wandering to any great distance
on either side, between one hundred and one hundred and fifty rhinoceroses – the same day he saw
several herds of giraffes, amounting together to nearly a hundred.
4.At the distance of a little more than one hour’s march from their place of encampment on the
previous night, his party actually killed at one spot eight hippopotamuses and saw many more. In this
same river, there were likewise crocodiles. Of course, it was a case quite extraordinary, to see so many
great 12 2 animals crowded together, but it evidently proves that they must exist in great numbers. Dr
Smith describes the country passed through that day, as ‘being thinly covered with grass, and bushes
about four feet high, and still more thinly with mimosa-trees.’
5.Besides these large animals, anyone the least acquainted with the natural history of the Cape has
read of the herds of antelopes, which can be compared only with the flocks of migratory birds. The
numbers indeed of the lion, panther, and hyena, and the multitude of birds of prey, plainly speak of
the abundance of the smaller quadrupeds: one evening seven lions were counted at the same time
prowling round Dr Smith’s encampment. As this able naturalist remarked to me, the carnage each day
in Southern Africa must indeed be terrific! I confess it is truly surprising how such a number of animals
can find support in a country producing so little food.
6. The larger quadrupeds no doubt roam over wide tracts in search of it; and their food chiefly consists
of Underwood, which probably contains much nutriment in a small bulk. Dr Smith also informs me that
the vegetation has a rapid growth; no sooner is a part consumed, than its place is supplied by a fresh
stock. There can be no doubt, however, that our ideas respecting the apparent amount of food
necessary for the support of large quadrupeds are much exaggerated. The belief that where large
quadrupeds exist, the vegetation must necessarily be luxuriant, is the more remarkable because the
converse is far from true.
7.MrBurchell observed to me that when entering Brazil, nothing struck him more forcibly than the
splendour of the South American vegetation contrasted with that of South Africa, together with the
absence of all large quadrupeds. In his Travels, he has suggested that the comparison of the respective
weights (if there were sufficient data) of an equal number of the largest herbivorous quadrupeds of
each country would be extremely curious. If we take on the one side, the elephants hippopotamus,
giraffe, boscaffer, elan, five species of rhinoceros; and on the American side, two tapirs, the guanaco,
three deer, the vicuna, peccari, capybara (after which we must choose from the monkeys to complete
the number), and then place these two groups alongside each other it is not easy to conceive ranks
more disproportionate in size.
8. After the above facts, we are compelled to conclude, against the anterior probability that among the
mammalia there exists no close relation between the bulk of the species, and the quantity of the
vegetation, in the countries which they inhabit.
On the basis of your understanding of the above passage answer each of the questions given below
with the help of options that follow:
(a) the author is primarily concerned with
(i) discussing the relationship between the size of mammals and the nature of vegetation in their
habitat
(ii) contrasting ecological conditions in India and Africa
(iii) proving that large animals can do without food
(iv) describing the sizes of animals in the different parts of the world
(b) According to the author the prejudice has led to (para1)
(i) errors in the reasoning of the biologists
(ii) false ideas about animals in Africa
(iii) incorrect assumptions on the part of geologists
(iv) doubts in his mind
(c) the flights of migratory birds (para 5) are mentioned to

(iii) contrast with the habits of the antelopes
(iv) suggest the size of antelope herds
(d) Darwin quotes Burchell’s observations in order to
(i) counter a popular misconception
(ii) describe a region of great splendour
(iii) prove a hypothesis
(iv) illustrate a well-known phenomenon

(f) Why does Dr Smith regard Africa as a sterile country?
(g) What is the ‘carnage’ referred to by Dr Smith?

(i) How does Darwin explain the phenomenon of a country with so little food supporting such large
numbers of animals?
(j) What does the author conclude from the observations of Dr Smith and Dr Burchell?
Passage V:
1) For four days, I walked through the narrow lanes of the old city, enjoying the romance of being in a
city where history still lives - in its cobblestone streets and in its people riding asses, carrying vine
leaves and palm as they once did during the time of Christ.
2) This is Jerusalem, home to the sacred sites of Christianity, Islam and Judaism. This is the place that
houses the church of the Holy Sepulchre, the place where Jesus was finally laid to rest. This is also the
site of Christ's crucifixion, burial and resurrection.
3) Built by the Roman Emperor Constantine at the site of an earlier temple to Aphrodite, it is the most
venerated Christian shrine in the world. And, justifiably so. Here, within the church, are the last five
Stations of the Cross, the 10th station where Jesus was stripped of his clothes, the 11th where he was
nailed to the cross, the 12th where he died on the cross, the 13th where the body was removed from
the cross, and the 14th, his tomb.
4) For all this weighty tradition, the approach and entrance to the church is nondescript. You have to
ask for directions. Even to the devout Christian pilgrims walking along the Via Dolorosa – the Way of
Sorrows - first nine stations look clueless. Then a courtyard appears, hemmed in by other buildings and
a doorway to one side. This leads to a vast area of huge stone architecture.
5) Immediately inside the entrance is your first stop. It's -the stone of anointing: this is the place,
according to Greek tradition, where Christ was removed from the cross. The Roman Catholics,
however, believe it to be the spot where Jesus' body was prepared for burial by Joseph.
6) What happened next? Jesus was buried. He was taken to a place outside the city of Jerusalem where
other graves existed and there, he was buried in a cave. However, all that is long gone, destroyed by
continued attacks and rebuilding; what remains is the massive - and impressive - Rotunda (a round
building with a dome) that Emperor Constantine built. Under this, and right in the centre of the
Rotunda, is' the structure that contains the Holy Sepulchre.
7) 'How do you know that this is Jesus tomb? I asked one of the pilgrims standing next to me. He was
clueless, more interested, like the rest of them, in the novelty of it all and in photographing it, than in
its history or tradition.
8) At the start of the first century, the place was a disused quarry outside the city walls. According to
the gospels, Jesus' crucifixion occurred 'at a place outside the city walls with graves nearby'.
Archaeologists have discovered tombs from that era, so the site is compatible with the biblical period.
9) The structure at the site is a marble tomb built over the 'original burial chamber. It has two rooms,
and you enter four at a time into the first of these, the Chapel of the Angel. Here the angel is supposed
to have sat on a stone to recount Christ's resurrection. A low door made of white marble, partly worn
away by pilgrims' hands, leads to a smaller chamber inside. This is the 'room of the tomb', the place
where Jesus was buried.
10) We entered in a single file. On my right was a large marble slab that covered the original rock
bench on which the body of Jesus was laid. A woman knelt and prayed. Her eyes were 'wet with tears.
She pressed her face against the slab to hide them, but it only made it worse.
On the basis of your understanding of this passage answer the following questions with the help of the
given options:
(a) How does Jerusalem still retain the charm of the ancient era?
(i) There are narrow lanes. (ii) Roads are paved with cobblestones.
(iii) People can be seen riding asses. (iv) All of the above
(b) Holy Sepulchre is sacred to
(i) Christianity (ii) Islam (iii) Judaism (iv) Both (i) and (iii)
(c) Why does one have to constantly ask for directions to the church?
(i) Its lanes are narrow. (ii) Entrance to the church is nondescript.
(iii) People are not tourist-friendly. (iv) Everyone is lost in enjoying the romance of the
place.
(d) Where was Jesus buried?
(i) In a cave (ii) At a place outside the city
(iii) In the Holy Sepulchre (iv) Both (i) and (ii)
Answer the following questions briefly:
(e) What is the Greek belief about the 'stone of anointing'?
(f) Why did Emperor Constantine build the Rotunda?
(g) What is the general attitude of the pilgrims?
(h) How is the site compatible with the biblical period?
(i) Why did the pilgrims enter the 'room of the tomb' in a single file?
(j) Why did 'a woman' try to hide her tears?
(k) Find words from the passage which mean the same as:
(i) A large grave (para 3) (ii) Having no interesting features/dull (para 4)
Passage VI:
1. Till as late as the 1960s, we believed that one of the major differences between us and the rest of
the animal kingdom was our ability to make and use tools. But then, our egos suffered a devastating
blow: in the jungles of Gombe in Africa, Jane Goodall observed a chimpanzee pluck and trim a stem of
grass and insert it into a termite mound. The furious termites climbed up the stem only to be happily
eaten up by the chimp. The chimp kept repeating the process. He had, in fact, fashioned his own
fishing rod and gone fishing for termites. We were not alone! And that was not all. Chimps were also
observed using rocks to bash open hard shells and fruits (which other monkeys also do), to throw them
at their enemies and wave sticks around. Even worse, adolescent females, especially, were seen
sharpening sticks with their teeth and thrusting these like spears into hollows where bush-babies were
hiding in fear and then checked the spear tips for blood! Chimps were also seen chewing up leaves and
using these like sponges to suck up water from the waterholes to enable them to drink. The gorillas
and orangutans were not far behind. In 2005, a western lowland gorilla (a lady, this time) was observed
picking up a stick and using it to check the depth of a pool she wanted to cross. Then, she used it as a
walking stick. Orangutans (as well as chimpanzees) have been observed using broad leaves as
umbrellas during downpours - and orangutans that are accustomed to our company (never a good
influence) imitate the way we wash clothes by the riverbank or use a saw to cut wood.
3. Elephants designed fly-whisks and backscratchers from branches, and used strips of chewed up bark
to plug small waterholes (which they had dug) to prevent the water from evaporating. Dada bulls
would heave heavy logs or rocks at electric fences to
short-circuit or simply destroy them.
4. Bottle-nosed dolphins have been known to cover their long noses with sponges or shells before
combing the seabed for tid bits (There are many spiny creatures and sharp rocks that could otherwise
injure them).
5. Crows are thought to be the smartest amongst birds and the new Caledonian crow is considered to
be the Einstein among crows. Crows have been known to do the dropping-of-pebbles-in-a-pitcher-of-
water stunt, as described in Aesop’s Fables. The American alligator has been known to arrange twigs
on its head -to lure nest-building birds to come and pick them up. When they do, well, lunch is served
for the alligator!
6. For long, we have exploited the poor silkworm, boiling its cocoons alive to make one of the most
exquisite clothing materials known so far. But the real pros in silk production are -hold your breath -
spiders. What caterpillars of moths and butterflies do with their mouth parts.(like a magician releasing
ribbons from his/her mouth), spiders do it from the lower part of their bodies. But, try as we may, we
still haven’t cracked the code of how to synthesise spider silk, which can be used for everything from
producing gun-sights and sutures to light bulletproof jackets and seat belts.
7 What if spiders sold their silk? Imagine walking into a silk emporium run by arachnids, you would be
greeted by a sales-spider: charming, young Ms./Mr. Hairy-legs, who would appraise you out of her/his
eight or so eyes. ‘‘Welcome, welcome!’’ s/he would gush scanning you top-down, rubbing its hairy legs
together in delight. ‘‘We have some of the finest, softest cradle silk you would ever want for your
happy events. Wrapped up in it, your babies will be warm, safe and dry as they wait to hatch. It’s super
absorbent, too, and nappy rash will not be a problem!
8. So yes, animals use tools but we needn’t worry. None of them have, as yet, discovered how to make
fire. Though, our very own black kite will -with its goonda friends -spread a wildfire by dropping
burning twigs in unburned areas so they can snap up even more fleeing insects and rodents. But yes,
these so-called tools are primitive.
9. But then, do animals really need sophisticated tools to get what they want? Cheetahs accelerate
faster than Ferraris, pit vipers have heat-seeking sensors, eagles can locate a rabbit in a field from
kilometers away, sharks smell a drop of blood in a whole ruddy ocean, bats use sonar, birds and bees
see ultraviolet light, a falcon can dive at 320 kmph, snakes have a cocktail of venom that can bleed,
paralyse or liquefy you to death, spiders’ silk still has us in a tizzy, chameleons and octopuses wear
invisibility cloaks, and, migratory birds have built in navigation system -the list is endless!
10.We had the best brains and so were able to design miraculous tools. But look where we have ended
up: we’ve gassed up the earth’s air, poisoned the water and have stocked enough weaponry to destroy
ourselves a million times over. So really, who is the monkey with the wrench?
1.1 On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, answer each of the questions given
below by choosing the most appropriate option :
(a) Chimps making their own fishing rods is an indication that
(i) animals and man have similar interests. (ii) monkeys also go fishing.
(iii) animals like to imitate man. (iv) man is an animal who likes fish.
(b) We know that chimps are intelligent because
(i) they try and ape man. (ii) they use their brains to find solutions to
problems.
(iii) they kill bush-babies. (iv) they love to eat termites.

(a) Why are animals considered as intelligent as humans?
(b) What strategy do chimps use to open hard shells and fruits?
(c) What do elephants do to prevent water from evaporating?

1.4 Find words/phrases from the passage which are similar in meaning to each of the following :
(a) crude/old-fashioned (para 8) (b) poison (para 9) (c) wonderful (para 10)
Passage VII:
Too many parents these days can’t say no. As a result, they find themselves raising ‘children’ who
respond greedily to the advertisements aimed right at them. Even getting what they want doesn’t
satisfy some kids; they only want more. Now, a growing number of psychologists, educators and
parents think it’s time to stop the madness and start teaching kids about what’s really important :
values like hard work, contentment, honesty and compassion. The struggle to set limits has never been
tougher—and the stakes have never been higher. One recent study of adults who were overindulged
as children, paints a discouraging picture of their future : when given too much too soon, they grow up
to be adults who have difficulty coping with life’s disappointments. They also have distorted sense of
entitlement that gets in the way of success in the work place and in relationships.
Psychologists say that parents who overindulge their kids, set them up to be more vulnerable to future
anxiety and depression. Today’s parents themselves raised on values of thrift and self-sacrifice, grew
up in a culture where ‘no’ was a household word. Today’s kids want much more, partly because there
is so much more to want. The oldest members of this generation were born in the late 1980s, just as
PCs and video games were making their assault’ on the family room. They think of MP3 players and flat
screen TV as essential utilities, and they have developed strategies to get them. One survey of
teenagers found that when they crave for something new, most expect to ask nine times before their
parents give in. By every measure, parents are shelling out record amounts. In the heat of this buying
blitz, even parents who desperately need to say no find themselves reaching for their credit cards.
Today’s parents aren’t equipped to deal with the problem. Many of them, raised in the 1960s and 70s,
swore they’d act differently from their parents and have closer relationships with their own children.
Many even wear the same designer clothes as their kids and listen to the same music. And they work
more hours; at the end of a long week, it’s tempting to buy peace with ‘yes’ and not mar precious
family time with conflict. Anxiety about the future is another factor. How do well intentioned parents
say no to all the sports gear and arts and language lessons they believe will help their kids thrive in an
increasingly competitive world? Experts agree: too much love won’t spoil a child. Too few limits will.
What parents need to find, is a balance between the advantages of an affluent society and the critical
life lessons that come from waiting, saving and working hard to achieve goals. That search for balance
has to start early. Children need limits on their behaviour because they feel better and more secure
when they live within a secured structure. Older children learn self-control by watching how others,
especially parents act. Learning how to overcome challenges is essential to becoming a successful
adult. Few parents ask kids to do chores. They think their kids are already overburdened by social and
academic pressures. Every individual can be of service to others, and life has meaning beyond one’s
own immediate happiness. That means parents eager to teach values have to take a long, hard look at
their own

Passage VIII:
I got posted in Srinagar in the 1980s. Its rugged mountains, gushing rivers and vast meadows reminded
me of the landscapes of my native place – the Jibhi Valley in Himachal Pradesh. Unlike Srinagar that
saw numerous tourists, Jibhi Valley remained clouded in anonymity. That’s when the seed of starting
tourism in Jibhi was planted. I decided to leave my service in the Indian Army and follow the urge to
return home. We had two houses – a family house and a traditional house, which we often rented out.
I pleaded with my father to ask the tenant to vacate the house so that I could convert it into a
guesthouse. When my family finally relented, I renovated the house keeping its originality intact, just
adding windows for sunlight.
I still remember the summer of 1992 when I put a signboard outside my first guesthouse in Jibhi Valley!
The village residents, however, were sceptical about my success. My business kept growing but it took
years for tourism to take off in Jibhi Valley. Things changed significantly after 2008 when the
government launched a homestay scheme. People built homestays and with rapid tourism growth, the
region changed rapidly. Villages turned into towns with many concrete buildings. Local businesses and
tourists continued
putting a burden on nature. Then, with the 2020-21 pandemic and lockdown, tourism came to a
complete standstill in Jibhi Valley. Local people, who were employed at over a hundred homestays and
guesthouses, returned to their villages. Some went back to farming; some took up pottery and some
got involved in government work schemes. Now, all ardently hope that normalcy and tourism will
return to the valley soon. In a way, the pandemic has given us an opportunity to introspect, go back to
our roots and look for sustainable solutions. For me, tourism has been my greatest teacher. It brought
people from many countries and all states of India to my guesthouse. It gave me exposure to different
cultures and countless opportunities to learn new things. Most people who stayed at my guesthouse
became my repeat clients and good friends. When I look back, I feel proud, yet humbled at the thought
that I was not only able to fulfill my dream despite all the challenges, but also play a role in establishing
tourism in the beautiful valley that I call home.

Passage IX:
Very often, we do not take the first step towards a good cause because we say to ourselves, “The task
is so big. What can I do alone?” So nothing gets done. There is much talk about environmental
protection, air pollution and saving our forests. Do we really care? If we do, here are a few things we
can do to make our surroundings more pleasant.
It is good to adopt a two-uses-attitude! By putting an article to a second use, we are giving it a longer
lease of life and using up less raw material from nature. One of the worst things we do is the abuse of
paper. The clean sides of envelopes can be used to write small notes, lists and reminders around the
house. The more paper we use, the more trees will have to be cut down. For the same reason, we
should avoid the use of paper napkins or paper plates. Cloth napkins are just as good, for they can be
washed and used over and over again. Another area which needs the most
urgent attention is effective garbage disposal. People who are conscious about it follow rules and laws
strictly. As a result, their neighbourhoods are clean and beautiful. Similarly, each one of us can
contribute to a cleaner environment. All kitchen waste should be collected separately. Those of you
who have green fingers can turn this into valuable manure. Dig a pit and put the kitchen waste into it,
When the pit is a little over half full, cover it up with mud. Let nature do the rest, Within three or six
months, we will have a good garden manure. It can also be done as a community project by digging a
large pit in the colony). Do take help of all the members, for nothing succeeds like co-operation.A lot of
people don’t care about the environment because they don’t understand the adverse effect that
society has on it. It is important to convince people to care about the environment. The first step
would be to convince people to change by providing simple alternative solutions and ways’ of doing
things. The internet is a powerful tool and a group on social media of like-minded people can be
formed. People can share environmental stories and issues, as well as pool in solutions and alternatives
to educate one another. With the current state that our planet is in, it is imperative that people
actively care about the environment and most importantly to act now.

Passage X:
What's the one thing that you associate with your college days? For me, it was consuming copious
amounts of chai. A cup of tea was a panacea to all troubles and the companion to all joys. In this
exclusive interview, we caught up with 65-year-old Deepak Garg, owner of Ganga Dhaba, a spot that
every oficer from National Academy of Administration has visited multiple times.
Deepak begins, "My family has been here for almost 90 years. It was my grandfather who first started
working here as the supplier to the hotel that existed then. "In 1964, when Deepak was all of eight, he
lost his father and the responsibility of raising four children, fell on his mother.
"Our growing up years were a huge struggle. My mother used to teach home science at a local balwadi
school, and which was also where my siblings and I studied," he says. In 1978, Deepak says that he
started a food joint that he named Om Chinese restaurant. "In those days, there was a huge liking for
Chinese food and hence the name and the choice of cuisine," he says. For almost 17 years, things
continued and then Deepak got a Public Call Office (PCO) installed for the Officer Trainees. The
business did so well that soon he had installed more than ten telephones, with separate cabins, to
allow them some privacy while they made and received their calls.
"The OTs who would talk on the PCO from here would always refer to the place as 'Ganga Dhaba'. It
was because this place is so close to the Ganga hostel inside the academy, that slowly the name
changed and it became Ganga Dhaba. "Since it was the O'Ts that gave us our identity, we decided to
change the name and call it Ganga Dhaba," he says.There have been instances when Deepak and his
family members have learnt dishes from the OTs. He says, "So many dishes on our menu today are
because some officer came in and decided to teach us how to make them."
We have seen two generations of officers, served the parents, who now as the parents come back to
drop their children at the academy and tell us to take care of them. What more can we ask for? While
the money we make is not great, the respect and the love we have accumulated over the years is what
keeps us going," says Deepak, proudly. (400 words)
