(Reading)
1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions in your own
words : 4×3=12
Television is changing people's lives quiet dramatically. They are sleeping less,
reading less, comminuting less with their families. In a countrywide survey, a tenth
of television viewers have admitted that the care of children and elderly is getting
neglected. While television has contributed to the popularity of games and sports,
ironically enough, children have reported that they play less. Television had
increased the general knowledge of children, in particular their knowledge of the
various products being advertised. The survey shows that hardly any child is
watching educational programme. The parents interview said that their children's
studies were affected. Many parents have cut off cable TV to reduce the distraction
for the children.
Question :
(i) What changes do we notice in the lives of the people under the influence of
television?
(ii) Why do parents feel that their children's studies are affected while television is
increasing their general knowledge?
(iii) Why many parents have cut off cable TV connection?
(iv) What are two advantages of Television especially for children?
2. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below in your
own words : 4 × 2 = 8
Old people say that childhood is the best part of life. They look back at their
childhood and remember all their happy days, the jolly games, the fun they had to
school, jokes they used to play and the endless discussion they had among friends
on almost every topic. Perhaps these old folks are right. They forget many things
that were not so pleasant in their childhood. There is a funny story that tells of a boy
who was crying because he has to go back to school after the holidays. The father
scolded him and said, 'Why, I only wish I could be a boy and go to school again.'
And all in a moment the father was a little boy and his son was a grown man like his
father. The father, in the shape of a little boy had to go to school and I can tell you
he did not like it at all. A child's trouble may be seen small to grownups but they are
very big to him.
Questions :
(i) How do old people describe childhood?
(ii) When old people look back at their childhood, what do they remember?
(iii) Why did the father scold the boy?
(iv) What happened when the father wished to be a boy?
