Q.2 Read the following passage and make notes on the basis of your comprehension of the
passage. Give a suitable title. 4 marks
Passage-1
Despite all the research every one of us catches a cold and most of us catch it frequently. Our failure to control one of the commonest of all ailments sometimes seems ridiculous. Medical science regularly practices transplant surgery and has rid whole countries of such fatal diseases as Typhus and the Plague. But the problem of the common cold is unusually difficult and much has yet to be done to solve it. It is known that a cold is caused by one of a number of viral infections that affect the lining of the nose and other passages leading to the lungs but the confusing variety of viruses makes study and remedy very difficult. It was shown in 1960 that many typical colds in adults are caused by one or the other of a family of viruses known as rhinoviruses, yet there still remain many colds for which no virus has as yet been isolated. There is also the difficulty that because they are so much smaller than the bacteria which cause many other infections, viruses cannot be seen with ordinary microscopes.
Passage-2
I remember my childhood as being generally happy and can recall experiencing some of the most
carefree times of my life. But I can also remember, even more vividly, moments of being deeply
frightened. As a child, I was truly -terrified of the dark and getting lost. These fears were very real and caused me some extremely uncomfortable moments.
Maybe it was the strange way things looked and sounded in my familiar room at night that scared me so much. There was never total darkness, but a street light or passing car lights made clothes hung over a chair take on the shape of an unknown beast. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw curtains move when there was no breeze. A tiny creak in the floor would sound a hundred times louder than in the daylight and my imagination would take over, creating burglars and monsters. Darkness always made me feel
helpless. My heart would pound and I would lie very still so that ‘the enemy’ wouldn’t discover me.
Another childhood fear of mine was that I would get lost, especially on the way home from school.
Every morning, I got on the school bus right near my home—that was no problem. After school, though, when all the buses were lined up along the curve, I was terrified that I would get on the wrong one and be taken to some unfamiliar neighbourhood. I would scan the bus for the faces of my friends, make sure that the bus driver was the same one that had been there in the morning, and even then, ask the others over and over again to be sure I was in the right bus.
Passage- 3
Conversation is indeed the most easily teachable of all arts. All you need to do in order to become a good conversationalist is to find a subject that interests you and your listeners. There are, for example,
numberless hobbies to talk about. But the important thing is that you must talk about other fellow’s hobby rather than your own. Therein lies the secret of your popularity. Talk to your friends about the things that interest them, and you will get a reputation for good fellowship, charming wit, and a brilliant mind. There is nothing that pleases people so much as your interest in their interest.
It is just as important to know what subjects to avoid and what subjects to select for good conversation.
If you don’t want to be set down as a wet blanket or a bore, be careful to avoid certain unpleasant
subjects. Avoid talking about yourself, unless you are asked to do so. People are interested in their own
problems not in yours. Sickness or death bores everybody. The only one who willingly listens to such talk is the doctor, but he gets paid for it.
Passage-4
This isn’t a mountain region of mere subjective beauty. Nor one, which claims its greatness, based on
just an overwhelming opinion of a large majority. For Sikkim is a treasure that few know about.
However, the facts of its remarkable geography bear enough testimony to pitch Sikkim in a slot that no
other mountain region, anywhere in the world, could duplicate or rival. What Everest is to peaks, Sikkim
is to the mountains. Tragically, a region so wild and exotic and with such geographic and climatic
extremes, with its amazing wilds and not its unremarkable hill stations, ensure its accessibility to the
adventurous only.
Just delve on these facts a bit. From the plains, in a mere 80 km as the crow flies, the altitude reaches
28,168 feet at the very top of Kanchenjunga, the third highest peak in the world. Such a sharp elevation
is unrivalled anywhere else and is the first geographical claim of Sikkim.
The second is an offshoot of the first. Nowhere else do so many 7,000 metre plus peaks crowd up in
such a confined space. And the third is really a consequence of the first and the second with the sharp
gradation, creating the most variegated flora and fauna possible anywhere in the mountains. The fourth
uniqueness is also a consequence of the first and the second and lies in the extremes of the climate
which ranges from the tropical to the typical arctic type. And the fifth claim is its thin permanent
population and relatively fewer travellers by virtue of its remote far-eastern Himalayan location.
Passage-5
To live in harmony with oneself and the environment is the wish of every human. However, in modem
times greater physical and emotional demands are constantly placed upon many areas of life. More and more people suffer from physical and mental tension such as stress, anxiety, insomnia, and there is an imbalance in physical activity and proper exercise. This is why methods and techniques for the
attainment and improvement of health, as well as physical, mental and spiritual harmony, are of great
importance, and Yoga meets this requirement. The word “Yoga” originates from Sanskrit and means “to
join, to unite”. Yoga exercises have a holistic effect and bring body, mind, consciousness and soul into a
balance. In this way Yoga assists us in coping with everyday demands, problems and worries.
The exercise levels have been worked out in consultation with doctors and physiotherapists and can
therefore — with observation of the stated rules and precautions—be practiced independently at home
by anyone. “Yoga in Daily Life” is a holistic system, which means it takes into consideration not only the
physical, but also the mental and spiritual aspects. Positive thinking, perseverance, discipline,
orientation towards the Supreme, prayer as well as kindness and understanding form the way to Self-
Knowledge and Self-Realisation.
Passage-6
How does television affect our lives? It can be very helpful to people who carefully choose the shows
that they watch. Television can increase our knowledge of the outside world; there are high quality
programmes that help us understand many fields of study, science, medicine, the different arts and so
on. Moreover, television benefits very old people, who can’t leave the house, as well as patients in
hospitals. It also offers non-native speakers the advantages of daily informal language practice. They can increase their vocabulary and practice listening.
On the other hand, there are several serious disadvantages of television, of course, it provides us with a
pleasant way to relax and spend our free time, but in some countries, people watch television for an
average of six hours or more a day. Many children stare at the TV screen for more hours a day than they spend on anything else, including studying and sleeping. It’s clear that TV has a powerful influence on their lives and that its influence is often negative.
Recent studies show that after only thirty seconds of television viewing, a person’s brain ‘relaxes’ the
same way that it does just before the person falls asleep. Another effect of television on the human
brain is that it seems to cause poor concentration. Children who view a lot of television can often
concentrate on a subject for only fifteen to twenty minutes. They can pay attention only for the amount
of time between commercials.
Passage-7
A reason why people at school read books is to please their teacher. The teacher has said that this, that,
or the other is a good book, and that it is a sign of good taste to enjoy it. So, a number of boys and girls, anxious to please their teacher, get the book and read it. Two or three of them may genuinely like it, for their own sake, and be grateful to the teacher for putting it in their way. But many will not honestly like it, or will persuade themselves that they like it. And that does a great deal of harm. The people who cannot like the book run the risk of two things happening to them; either they are put off the idea of the booklet us suppose the book was David Copperfield-either they are put off the idea of classical novels, or they take a dislike to Dickens, and decide firmly never to waste their time on anything of the sort again; or they get a guilty conscience about the whole thing, they feel that they do not like what they ought to like and that therefore there is something wrong with them. They are quite mistaken, of course. There is nothing wrong with them. The mistake has all been on the teacher’s side. What has happened is that they have been shoved up against a book before they were ready for it. It is like giving a young child food only suitable for an adult. Result: indigestion, violent stomach-ache, and a rooted dislike of that article of food evermore.
Passage-8
Listening starts with hearing but goes beyond. Hearing, in other words is necessary but is not a sufficient condition for listening. Listening involves hearing with attention. Listening is a process that calls for concentration. While, listening, one should also be observant. In other words, listening has to do with the ears, as well as with the eyes and the mind. Listening is to be understood as the total process that involves hearing with attention, being observant and making interpretations. Good communication is essentially an interactive process. It calls for participation and involvement. It is quite often a dialogue rather than a monologue. It is necessary to be interested and also show or make it abundantly clear that one is interested in knowing what the other person has to say.
Good listening is an art that can be cultivated. It relates to skills that can be developed. A good listener
knows the art of getting much more than what the speaker is trying to convey. He knows how to
prompt, persuade but not to cut off or interrupt what the other person has to say. At times the speaker
may or may not be coherent, articulate and well organised in his thoughts and expressions. He may
have it in his mind and yet he may fail to marshal the right words while communicating his thought.
Passage-9
Education is the essential thing for our life, and it helps in the growth of human civilization. Education is
necessary to understand the universe around us and convert it into something more beneficial. With the help of knowledge, we can develop a new perspective for our life. If people are educated, then they can know their responsibilities and rights quite well.
First of all, education gives the ability to read and write to anyone. A good education is extremely essential for everyone to grow and succeed in life. Education increases self-confidence and assists in developing the personality of a person. Education plays a big role in our life. Education is split into 3 parts such as primary education, secondary education, and higher secondary education. All these 3 divisions of education have their value and advantages. Primary education is the base of education for a person, secondary education paves the direction for further education and higher secondary education makes the future and the ultimate way of life.
Passage-10
Pollution is the intermixing of harmful substances known as pollutants with the natural environmental
components. There are various forms of Pollution, like land pollution, water pollution, air pollution, and
soil pollution. No matter which form of infection it is, it has dangerous impacts on our environment.
Pollution is the addition of unwanted substances into the environment that can damage our Earth. There are 4 main types of Pollution; water pollution, air pollution, soil pollution, and noise pollution. All kinds of Pollution are a result of careless activities by man. We dump waste directly into water bodies, which results in water pollution. Air pollution is caused when vehicles release smoke into the atmosphere and make it difficult to breathe for all organisms. Soil pollution is caused by directly dumping our waste into landfills. Noise pollution is not visible, but it is a dangerous form of Pollution that can damage our ears.
Water pollution forms a major category of Pollution and has become an urgent crisis in many countries.
We cannot survive without water. So, when most of the water bodies will dry up or get chocked, the
human population will come to an end. The next big form of Pollution is air pollution. It is mainly caused by toxic exhumes from vehicles and the burning of coal for electricity.
