SECTION A

1. Read the passage given below : 10
What’s lost as handwriting fades ?
1 Psychologists and neuroscientists say that handwriting has not yet lost its importance. New evidence suggests that the links between handwriting and broader educational development are very close.
2 Children not only learn to read more quickly when they first learn to write by hand, but they also remain better able to generate ideas and retain information. In other words it’s not just what we write that matters -but how.
3 According to psychologist Stanislas Dehaene, ‘‘When a child writes,the brain reacts in a unique manner. The action of writing automatically triggers an activity in the brain. This activity recognizes what is the written word, which makes learning easier.’’ 
4 A 2012 study lent support to that view. Children who had not yet learnt to read and write were presented with a letter or a shape on an index card and were asked to produce it in one of three ways : trace the image on a sheet with a dotted outline, draw it on a blank white sheet, or type it on a computer. They were then placed in a brain scanner and shown the image again.
5 The researchers found that when children had drawn the letter freehand, they exhibited increased activity in areas of the brain that are activated in adults when they read and write. By contrast, children who typed or traced the letter showed no such effect. The activation was significantly weaker.
6 The effect goes beyond letter recognition. A study that followed children in grades two through five demonstrated that printing, cursive writing and typing on a keyboard are all associated with separate brain activities. When the children composed text by hand, they consistently produced more words more quickly than they did on a keyboard, and expressed more ideas. And brain imaging suggested that the connection between writing and idea generation went further. When these children were asked to come up with ideas for a competition, the ones with better handwriting exhibited greater mental activity in areas associated with working memory, and increased overall activation in the reading and writing networks.
7 More studies have reported that in both laboratory settings and classrooms, students learn better when they take notes by hand than when they type on a keyboard. Latest research suggests that writing by hand allows the student to process a lecture’s contents and reframe it.
8 Not every expert is persuaded that the long-term benefits of handwriting are all that significant. Still, one expert, Harold Bloom, says, the new research is, at least, thought provoking. ‘‘With handwriting, the very act of putting it down forces you to focus on what is important,’’ he said. ‘‘May be it helps you think better.’’

1.1 On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, answer the following questions very briefly : 1x6=6

(a) What happens when children learn to write by hand ?
(b) What is the reaction of the brain when a person writes ?
(c) What is the change when a person draws freehand ?
(d) Which children perform better in competitions ?
(e) What is the advantage of taking down notes by hand ?
(f) According to Bloom, how does handwriting help a person get greater clarity of thought ?

1.2 Choose the meanings of the words given below from the given options : 1x4=4
(a) Suggests (para 1)
(i) conveys
(ii) denies
(iii) accepts
(iv) advises

(i) This paper is divided into three sections : A, B and C. All the sections are compulsory.
(ii) Separate instructions are given with each section and question,wherever necessary. Read these instructions very carefully and follow them faithfully.
(iii) Do not exceed the prescribed word limit while answering the questions.

SECTION A — (Reading) 30

1. Read the passage given below : 12
1 When you grow up in a place where it rains five months a year, wise elders help you to get acquainted with the rain early. They teach you that it is ignorant to think that it is the same rain falling every day. Oh no, the rain is  always doing different things at different times. There is rain that is gentle, and there is also rain that falls too hard and damages the crops. Hence, the prayer for the sweet rain that helps the crops to grow.
2 The monsoon in the Naga hills goes by the native name, khuthotei (which means the rice-growing season). It lasts from May to early or mid-October. The local residents firmly believe that Durga Puja in October announces the end of rain. After that, one might expect a couple of short winter showers, and the spring showers in March and April. Finally, comes the ‘‘big rain’’ in May; proper rainstorms accompanied by heart-stopping lightning and ear-splitting thunder. Ihave stood out in storms looking at lightning arc across dark skies, a light-and-sound show that can go on for hours.
3 This is the season when people use the word sezuo or süzu to refer to the week-long rains, when clothes don’t dry and smell of mould, when fungus forms on the floor and when you can’t see the moon or the stars because of the rainclouds. But you learn not to complain. Rain, after all, is the farmer’s friend and brings food to the table. Rituals and festivals centre around the agricultural rhythm of life, which is the occupation of about 70 percent of the population. 
4 The wise learn to understand its ways. I grew up hearing my grandfather say, ‘‘It’s very windy this year. We’ll get good rain.’’ If the windy season was short and weak, he worried there might not be enough rain for the crops. I learned the interconnectedness of the seasons from childhood, and marvelled at how the wind could bring rain. Another evening, many rainy seasons ago, my paternal aunt observed the new moon and worried, ‘‘Its legs are in the air, we’re in for some heavy rain.’’ She was right. That week, a storm cut off power lines and brought down trees and bamboos.
5 Eskimos boast of having a hundred names for snow. Norwegians in the north can describe all kinds of snow by an equal amount of names : pudder, powder snow, wet snow, slaps, extra wet snow, tight snowfall, dry snow, and at least 95 more categories of snow. Likewise, in India we have names and names for rain. Some are common, some are passing into history.
6 The rains are also called after flowering plants and people believe that the blossoming of those plants draws out rain. Once the monsoons set in, field work is carried out in earnest and the work of uprooting and transplanting paddy in flooded terrace fields is done. The months of hard labour are June, July and August. In August, as the phrogü plant begins to bloom, a rain will fall. This August rain, also called phrogü, is a sign that the time for  cultivation is over. If any new grain seeds are sown, they may not sprout; even if they do sprout, they are not likely to bear grain. The rain acts as a kind of farmer’s almanac.
7 The urban population of school-goers and office-goers naturally dislikes the monsoon and its accompanying problems of landslides, muddy streets and periodic infections. For non-farmers, the month of  September can be depressing, when the rainfall is incessant and the  awareness persists that the monsoons will last out till October. One needs to have the heart of a farmer to remain grateful for the watery days, and be able to observe — from what seems to the inexperienced as a continuous downpour — the many kinds of rain. Some of the commonly known rain-weeks are named after the plants that alternately bloom in August and September. The native belief is that the flowers draw out the rain.
8 Each rain period has a job to fulfil : October rain helps garlic bulbs to form, while kümünyo rain helps the rice bear grain. Without it, the ears of rice cannot form properly. End October is the most beautiful month in the Naga hills, as the fields turn gold and wild sunflowers bloom over the slopes, all heralding the harvest. Prayers go up for protecting the fields from storms, and the rains to retreat because the grain needs to stand in the sun and ripen. The cycle nears completion a few weeks before the harvest, and the rain does retreat so thoroughly from the reaped furrows that the earth quickly turns hard. The months of rain become a distant memory until it starts all over again. On the basis of your understanding of the above passage,

complete the statements given below with the help of options that follow : 1x4=4
(a) The rains are called after flowering plants because
(i) heavy rains kill plants.
(ii) flowers grow in the rainy season.
(iii) it is believed that the plants bring the rain.

(i) the fungus and mould need to dry.
(ii) children don’t get a chance to play.
(iii) the crops need the sun and heat to ripen.
(iv) they like to pray.
Answer the following questions briefly : 1x6=6
(e) Why do the elders want you to understand the rains in the Naga hills ?
(f) What does Durga Puja mean to the farmers of the Naga hills ?
(g) What kind of rain is called sezuo ?
(h) What is the occupation of more than half the population of the Naga hills ?

Globalization

Globalization is the way to open businesses, improve technological growth, economy, etc, at the international level for all countries. It is the way in which manufacturers and producers of the products or goods sell their products globally without any restriction. It provides huge profits to the businessmen as they get low cost labour in poor countries easily. It provides a big opportunity to the companies to deal with the worldwide market.  Globalization helps to consider the whole world as a single market. Traders are extending their areas of business by treating the world as a global village. Earlier till the 1990s, there was a restriction on importing certain products which were already
manufactured in India like agricultural products, engineering goods, food items and toiletries. However, during the 1990s there was a pressure from the rich countries on the poor and developing countries to allow them to spread their businesses by opening their markets. In India the globalization and li has been a bonanza for the consumers, however, a loss to the small-scale Indian producers. 
Globalization has had some very positive effects on the Indian consumer in all sectors of society. It has affected the Indian students and education sector to a great extent by making study books and a lot of information available over the internet. Collaboration of foreign universities with the Indian universities has brought about a huge change in the field of education.
Globalization of trade in the agricultural sector has brought varieties of quality seeds which have disease resistance property. However, it is not good for the poor Indian farmers because the seeds and agricultural technologies are costly.  
 It has brought about a huge revolution in the employment sector by the spread of businesses like cottage, handloom, carpet, artisan carving, ceramic, jewellery, and glassware etc.

Attempt any eight of the following questions : 1x8 = 8

 (a) What is globalization ?
 (b) Write any two advantages of globalization.
 (c) What was the pressure from the rich countries in the 1990’s ?
 (d) What is the effect of multinational brands entering the Indian market ?
 (e) How are the prices of quality products affected due to globalization ?
 (f) How have the foreign products affected the local industry adversely ?
 (g) What has been the impact of globalization on the Indian students ?
 (h) Why has globalization had a negative effect on the poor Indian farmer ?
 (i) How has the cottage industry benefited from globalization ?

1. Read the passage given below : 12

Everybody wants to succeed in life. For some, success means achieving whatever they desire or dream. For many it is the name, fame and social position. Whatever be the meaning of success, it is success which makes a man popular.  All great men have been successful. They are remembered for their great  achievements. But it is certain that success comes to those who are sincere,hardworking, loyal and committed to their goals.  Success has been man’s greatest motivation. It is very important for all. Success has a great effect on life. It brings pleasure and pride. It gives a sense of fulfilment. It means all-around development. Everybody hopes to be successful in life. But success smiles on those who have a proper approach, planning, vision and stamina. A proper and timely application of all these things is bound to bear fruit. One cannot be successful without cultivating these certain basic things in life. It is very difficult to set out on a journey without knowing one’s goals and purposes. Clarity of the objective is a must to succeed in life. A focused approach with proper planning is certain to bring success. Indecision and insincerity are big obstacles on the path to success.  One should have the capability, capacity and resources to turn one’s dreams into reality. Mere desire cannot bring you success. The desire should be weighed against
factors like capability and resources. This is the basic requirement of success. The next important thing is the eagerness, seriousness and the urge to be successful. It is the driving force which decides the success. It is the first step on the ladder of success.  
One needs to pursue one’s goals with all one’s sincerity and passion. One should always be in high spirit. Lack of such spirit leads to an inferiority complex which is a big obstruction on the path to success. Time is also a deciding factor. Only the punctual and committed have succeeded in life. Lives of great men are examples of this. They had all these qualities in plenty which helped them rise to the peak of success.
 Hard labour is one of the basic requirements of success. There is no substitute for hard labour. It alone can take one to the peak of success. Every success has a ratio of five percent inspiration and ninety-five percent perspiration. It is the patience, persistence and perseverance which play a decisive role in achieving success. Failures are the pillars of success as they are our stepping-stones and we must get up and start again
and be motivated.

1.1. On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer any four of the following  questions in 30-40 words each : 2 × 4 = 8

(a) To whom does success come certainly ?
(b) What are the basic things in life we need to achieve success ?
(c) What did great men have in plenty to rise to the peak of success ? Give any two examples.
(d) What is the one basic requirement of success ?
(e) Explain : “Failures are pillars of success.”

1.2 On the basis of your reading of the passage, fill in any two of the following blanks with appropriate words/phrase : 1 × 2 = 2

(a) _________ plays a decisive role in achieving success.
(b) Goals have to be pursued with _________ and _________.
(c) Ratio of success is _________ inspiration. 

1.3 Find out the words from the passage that mean the same as the following : (any two) 1 × 2 = 2

(b) obstruction (para 4)
(c) motivation (para 5)

१. निम्नलिखित गद्यांश को ध्यान से पढ़िए और पूछे गए प्रश्नों के उत्तर संक्षेप में (२०-३० शब्दों में) लिखिए : १५

'दाँत'  इस दो अक्षर के शब्द तथा इन थोड़ी-सी छोटी-छोटी हडि्‌डयों में भी उस चतुर कारीगर ने वह कौशल दिखलाया है कि किसके मुँह में दाँत हैं जो पूरा वर्णन कर सके । मुख की सारी शोभा और सभी भोज्य पदार्थों का स्वाद इन्हीं पर निर्भर है । कवियों ने अलक,भ्रू तथा बरौनी आदि की छवि लिखने में बहुत रीति से बाल की खाल निकाली है पर सच पूछिए तो इन्हीं की शोभा से सबकी शोभा है । जब दाँतों के बिना पोपला-सा मुँह निकल आता है और चिबुक एवं नासिका एक में मिल जाती हैं, उस समय सारी सुधराई मिट्‌टी में मिल जाती है । कवियों ने इनकी उपमा हीरा, मोती, माणिक से दी है, यह बहुत ठीक है ।

यह वह अंग है जिसमें पाकशास्त्र के छहों रस एवं काव्यशास्त्र के नवों रस का आधार है । खाने का मज़ा इन्हीं से है । इस बात का अनुभव यदि आपको न हो तो किसी वृद्ध से  पूछ देखिए । केवल सतुआ चाटने के और रोटी को दूध में तथा दाल में भिगोकर गले के नीचे
उतारने के सिवाय दुनिया भर की चीज़ों के लिए वह तरस कर ही रह जाता होगा ।

सच है दाँत बिना जब किसी काम के न रहें तब पूछे कौन ? शंकराचार्य का यह पद महामंत्र है "अंगं गलितं पलितं मुडं दशनविहीनं जातं तुंडम्‌" आदि । एक कहावत भी है 

"दाँत खियाने, खुर घिसे, पीठ बोझ नहिं लेइ,
ऐसे बूढ़े बैल को कौन बाँध भुस देइ ।"

आपके दाँत हाथी के दाँत तो हैं नहीं कि मरने पर भी किसी के काम आएँगे । आपके दाँत तो यह शिक्षा देते हैं कि जब तक हम अपने स्थान, अपनी जाति (दंतावली) और अपने काम में दृढ़ हैं, तभी तक हमारी प्रतिष्ठा है । यहाँ तक कि बड़े-बड़े कवि हमारी प्रशंसा करते
हैं । पर मुख से बाहर होते ही एक अपावन, घृणित और फेंकने वाली हड्‌डी हो जाते हैं । गाल और होंठ दाँतों का परदा हैं । जिसके परदा न  रहा अर्थात्‌ स्वजातित्व की ग़ैरतदारी न रही, उनकी निर्लज्ज ज़िंदगी व्यर्थ है । ऐसा ही हम उन स्वार्थ के अंधों के हक में मानते हैं जो रहे
हमारे साथ, बने हमारे साथ ही, पर सदा हमारे देश-जाति के अहित ही में  तत्पर रहते हैं ।  उनके होने का हमें कौन सुख ? दुखती दाढ़ की पीड़ा से मुक्ति उसके उखड़वाने में ही है । हम तो उन्हीं की जै-जै कार करेंगे जो अपने देशवासियों से दाँत काटी रोटी का बर्ताव रखत है ।

(घ) दाँतों की प्रतिष्ठा कब तक है ? मुख से बाहर होते ही उनके साथ भिन्न व्यवहार क्या  है ? 2

(ङ) शंकराचार्य के कथन और एक अन्य कहावत के द्वारा लेखक क्या समझाना चाहता है ? २
(च) गाल और होंठ दाँतों का परदा कैसे हैं ? उस परदे से क्या शिक्षा मिलने की बात कही गई है ? २

(छ) दाँतों की चर्चा में देश का अहित करने वालों का उल्लेख क्यों किया गया है ? लेखक के अनुसार उनसे कैसा व्यवहार किया जाना चाहिए ? २
(ज) इस गद्यांश का एक उपयुक्त शीर्षक सुझाइए । (अधिकतम ५ शब्द) १

SECTION A – (Reading) 20 marks

1. Read the passage given below : 8
(1) Tourists to Jammu and Kashmir have another attraction – a floating post office on the Dal Lake in Srinagar, the first in the country. ‘Floating Post Office, Dal Lake’ – claimed to be the only one such post office in the world – is built on an intricately carved maroon houseboat, fastened on the western edge of the Dal Lake.
(2) This post office lets you avail of all the regular postal services available in the country while being afloat. The seal used on everything posted from Floating Post Office is unique – along with the date and address, it bears the design of a boatman rowing a shikara on the Dal Lake. The special feature of this post office is that letters posted from here carry a special design which has the picturesque scenery of Dal Lake and Srinagar city. These pictures reach wherever these letters are posted to and hence promote Kashmir as a tourist destination across the world.
(3) This is actually a heritage post office that has existed since British times. It was called Nehru Park Post Office before 2011. But then the chief postmaster John Samuel renamed it as ‘Floating Post Office’.
(4) The post office’s houseboat has two small rooms – one serves as the office and the other a small museum that traces the philatelic history of the state postal department. It has a shop that sells postage stamps and other products.
(5) But for the locals, Floating Post office is more than an object of fascination. Rs.1-2 crore is deposited per month in Floating Post Office by communities living in and around the Dal Lake. The lake has several islets that are home to more than 50,000 people.
(6) The greatest fear is the recurrence of 2014 like floods in which the houseboat had gone for a toss uncontrollably pushed by the flood. Rescue teams had to anchor it using special mechanism in a nearby highland. Then it was brought back on the Dal after the water receded. The biggest boon is that at no time of the year do you need a fan in this post-office !
1.1 Attempt any eight of the following questions on the basis of the passage you have read : 1x8 = 8
(i) What is the location of the Floating Post Office in Srinagar ?
(ii) What is special about the seal used in the post office ?
(iii) How is the post office helpful in promoting tourism ?
(iv) Who renamed the post office as ‘Floating Post Office’ ?
(v) What are the two rooms of the post office used for ?
(vi) How is the post office beneficial to the locals ?
(vii) What is the greatest fear that the post office has ?
(viii) How is the post office a big boon to the people ?
(ix) Find the word from the passage which means the same as ‘attraction’. (para 5)

CBSE Class-10 Exam 2017 :  English Language & Literature (Set -2)

Read the passage given below : 8

(1) It is an indisputable fact that the world has gone too far with the innovation of new technologies such as mobile phones, the internet and so on, due to which people are able to tour the cosmos virtually sitting at one place using their smart devices or other technological gadgets. Though mobile internet access is oftentimes hurried and short, it can still provide common internet features like alerts, weather data, emails, search engines, instant messages, and game and music downloading. 
(2) Due to the easy access of smart phones, communication has been very effective and instant. People are able to convey their message all around the globe to their loved ones without spending hefty sums of money. Adults are always fond of such gadgets and they always welcome and adopt such new technology readily. Further, young people have been able to broaden their minds and improve their skills by doing research on the Internet. For instance, they use smart phones to look up any new word they come across. As we know that most of the universities have online teaching provision and smart phones assist the students to complete their assignments on time.
(3) The mobile phone has been a lifesaver for a lot of people in case of an emergency. Likewise, use of smart phones can be of vital importance in preventing crimes in the society by providing information to the security forces in time. 
(4) Nonetheless, for the young the use of mobile phone can be like an addiction and they can misuse it. Young people are also prone to getting involved in undesirable activities on the Internet. This might have adverse effect on their academic performance. Therefore, young people should always be monitored and made aware of its bad outcomes.
(5) Also a major contributor to its popularity is the availability of prepaid or pay as you go services from a phone shop or an online store. This allows subscribers to load text or airtime credits to their handsets by the use of their credit cards, debit cards or by buying a prepaid card from the network they subscribe to. This plan also doesn’t commit a particular customer to a contract. If prepaid card is not that appealing to you, then you can opt to subscribe using the pay by month plan. 
1.1 On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer any four of the following questions in 30-40 words each : 2x4 = 8
(i) How are smart phones helpful in communication ?
(ii) What are the benefits of mobile phones for the young generation ?
(iii) How can mobile phones be considered ‘lifesavers’ ?
(iv) Mention any two demerits of mobile phones.
(v) How is a prepaid card useful to mobile phone users ?

हिन्दी के बारे में या उसके विरोध के बारे में जब भी कोई हलचल होती है, तो राजनीति का मुखौटा ओढ़े रहने वाले भाषा व्यवसायी बेनकाब होने लगते हैं । उनकी बेचैनी समझ में नहीं आती ।संविधान में स्पष्ट प्रावधानों के बाद भी यह अविश्वास का माहौल बनता क्यों
है ? यहाँ हम केवल एक ही प्रावधान को याद करें ।संविधान के अनुच्छेद ३५१ में हिन्दी भाषा के विकास के लिए निर्देश देते हुए स्पष्ट कहा गया है : संघ का यह कर्तव्य होगा कि वह हिन्दी भाषा का प्रसार बढ़ाए, उसका विकास करे, जिससे वह भारत की सामाजिक संस्कृति के सभी तत्त्वों की अभिव्यक्ति का माध्यम बन सके और उसकी प्रकृति में हस्तक्षेप किए बिना हिन्दुस्तानी और आठवीं अनुसूची में विनिर्दिष्ट भारत की अन्य भाषाओं में प्रयुक्त रूप, शैली और पदों को आत्मसात्‌ करते हुए और जहाँ आवश्यक या वांछनीय हो वहाँ उसके
शब्द-भंडार के लिए मुख्यत: संस्कृत से और गौणत: अन्य भाषाओं से शब्द ग्रहण करते हुए उसकी समृद्धि सुनिश्चित करे ।

यही सब देखकर हिन्दी के विषय में अक्सर यह लगने लगता है जैसे संविधान के संकल्पों का निष्कर्ष कहीं खो गया है और हम निर्माताओं के आशय से कहीं दूर भटक गए हैं । सहज ही मन में ये प्रश्न उठते हैं कि हमने क्या किया ? क्यों नहीं हमारे कार्यक्रम प्रभावी हुए ? क्यों और कैसे अंग्रे ज़ी भाषा की मानसिकता हम पर और हमारी युवा एवं किशोर पीढ़ी पर इतनी हावी हो चुकी है कि इसी मिट्टी से जन्मी हमारी अपनी भाषाओं की अस्मिता और भविष्य संकट में प्रतीत होता है । शिक्षा में, व्यापार और व्यवहार में, संसदीय, शासकीय एवं न्यायिक प्रक्रियाओं में हिन्दी और प्रादेशिक भाषाओं को वर्चस्व क्यों नहीं मिल पा रहा ?

(ङ) 'अंग्रे ज़ी भाषा की मानसिकता से क्या तात्पर्य है ? उस उसका क्या परिणाम हो रहा है ? २

(च) यह कैसे कह सकते हैं कि हमारी अपनी भाषा का भविष्य संकट में है ? २
(छ) हिन्दी और प्रादेशिक भाषाओं के वर्चस्व से आप क्या समझते हैं ? यह कैसे संभव हो सकता है ? २
(ज) गद्यांश का उपयुक्त शीर्षक दीजिए । १

सहता प्रहार कोई विवश, कदर्य जीव
जिसकी नसों में नहीं पौरुष की धार है
करुणा, क्षमा हैं वीर जाति के कलंक घोर
क्षमता क्षमा की शूरवीरों का शृंगार है ।

प्रतिशोध से हैं होती शौर्य की शिखाएँ दीप्त
प्रतिशोध-हीनता नरों में महापाप है,
छो ड़ प्रीति-वैर पीते मूक अपमान वे ही
जिनमें न शेष शूरता का वह्नि-ताप है
जेता के विभूषण सहिष्णुता-क्षमा हैं किंतु
हारी हुई  जाति की सहिष्णुता अभिशाप है ।

सेना साजहीन है परस्व हरने की वृत्ति
लोभ की लड़ाई क्षात्र धर्म के विरुद्ध है
चोट खा परंतु जब सिंह उठता है जाग
उठता कराल प्रतिशोध हो प्रबुद्ध है
पुण्य खिलता है चंद्रहास की विभा में तब
पौरुष की जागृति कहाती धर्मयुद्ध है । 

(क) क्षमा कब कलंक और कब शृंगार हो जाती है ?
(ख) प्रतिशोध किसे कहते हैं ? वह कब आवश्यक होता है ?
(ग) सहिष्णुता को विभूषण और अभिशाप दोनों क्यों माना गया ?

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: 1. Cricket is a global passion, played everywhere from Test match arenas to village greens, tropical beaches and dusty back lots. Cricket is the world's second most popular spectator sport after football. 2. The origin of cricket is somewhere in the Dark Ages. All research concedes that the game derived from a very old, widespread and uncomplicated pastime by which one player served up an object, be it a small piece of wood or a ball, and another hit it with a suitably fashioned club. Cricket was first recorded in 16th-century England, and it was played in grammar schools, farm communities and everywhere in between. But things really took off when 18th-century nobles realised it was a great sport. 3. The oldest surviving set of cricket laws date from 1744 – printed on a handkerchief, naturally. It's now in the MCC Museum at Lord’s in London. The oldest permanent fixture is the annual Eton v Harrow match, played since 1805. A young Lord Byron turned out for Harrow in the first match, though history doesn't record how poetic – or “mad, bad and dangerous” – his bowling was. 5. The first international match was in 1877 when Australia beat England in Melbourne. The match was dubbed a “Test”, since the gruelling nature of playing over five days was deemed the ultimate “test” for any side. But it was Australia’s first win on English soil – in 1882 at The Oval in London – that led to matches between the two nations being christened the Ashes. Following the defeat, newspapers published an obituary mourning “the death of English cricket”, adding that “the body will be cremated and the ashes taken to Australia”. 6. A One Day International (ODI) is a form of limited overs cricket, played between two teams with international status, in which each team faces a fixed number of overs, usually 50. The Cricket World Cup is played in this format. The international one-day game is a late twentieth-century development. The first ODI was played on 5 January 1971 between Australia and England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. 1.1 Attempt any eight of the following questions on the basis of the passage you have read. i. According to the passage, how did the game of Cricket originate? ii. Where can we find the oldest sets of Cricket laws? iii. Which match did Lord Byron play? iv. When was the first international match played? v. Which countries played that match? vi. Why were the matches between Australia and England titled “The Ashes”? vii. In which format is the Cricket world cup played ? viii. When did the ODIs begin? ix. Which word in paragraph no.5 means the same as ‘exhausting’? Q2.Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: 1. Politeness has been well defined as benevolence in trifles. It is the desire to put those whom we meet perfectly at their ease, and save them from every kind of petty discomfort and annoyance. The limited part of benevolence called politeness requires only an inclination to make them happy temporarily, while they are in our presence, and when this can be done without any sacrifice on our part or only with a slight sacrifice of personal comfort. 2. Politeness is said to be one of the important characteristics of civilised person. Politeness is the art of choosing among your thoughts. It must be implemented in every walk of life. When we deal with people elder to us we are polite. But, an honest polite person is polite with everyone, people of lower status, workers and even children. Not only with humans but also with animals we must be polite as they are our helpers. 3. Politeness is a skill. Like any other skill, you can master it with practice. The greatest enemy of politeness is ego. To be a polite person, you have to sacrifice your ego. It is difficult for an egoist to be polite. You have to imply politeness in your thinking, speech and actions. Actions work more than words. Polite actions will give fine results. Politeness will reduce your stress and boost you to be productive. Apart from your present benefits, you protect your future. Being polite makes you mentally healthy. In our daily life we come across many incidents with people nearby and ourselves. 4. Different rules of behaviour have to be observed, accordingly as we are in the street or in the drawingroom, at home or at school, in the company of friends or of strangers. There is also to be considered the great diversity of social etiquette which distinguishes one country from another. 5. Politeness, besides being a duty that we owe to others, is a valuable possession for ourselves. It costs nothing, and yet may in many cases bring much profit. The great advantage of this excellence of conduct was very clearly expressed by Dr. Johnson, when he said that the difference between a well-bred and an ill- bred man is that one immediately attracts your liking, the other your dislike. 2.1 On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer any four of the following questions in about 30-40 words each : i. Why is politeness called as limited part of benevolence? ii. List some of the persons we should be polite to? iii. Why is it difficult for an egoist to be polite? iv. What are the benefits of being polite? v. Which rules of behaviour are to be observed? 2.2 On the basis of your reading of the passage, fill in any two of the following blanks with appropriate words/phrases. i.
