SECTION –A (READING) (10 MARKS)

I. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

1. Reality television is a genre of television programming which, it is claimed, presents unscripted

dramatic or humorous situations, documents actual events, and features ordinary people rather than
professional actors. It could be described as a form of artificial or ‘heightened’ documentary. Although
the genre has existed in some form or another since the early years of television, the current explosion of
popularity dates from around 2000.

2. Reality television covers a wide range of television programming formats, from game or quiz shows
which resemble the frantic, often demeaning programmes, produced in Japan in the 1980s and 1990s (a
modern example is Gaki no Tsukai), to surveillance-or voyeurism-focused productions such as Big
Brother.

3. Critics say that the term ‘reality television’ is somewhat of a misnomer and that such shows frequently
portray a modified and highly influenced form of reality, with participants put in exotic locations or
abnormal situations, sometimes coached to act in certain ways by off-screen handlers, and with events on
screen manipulated through editing and other post-production techniques.

4. Part of reality television’s appeal is due to its ability to place ordinary people in extraordinary
situations. Reality television also has the potential to turn its participants into national celebrities,
outwardly in talent and performance programmes such as Pop Idol, though frequently Survivor and Big
Brother participants also reach some degree of fame.

5. Some commentators have said that the name ‘reality television’ is an inaccurate description for several
styles of programme included in the genre. In competition-based programmes such as Big Brother and
Survivor, and other special-living-environment shows like The Real World, the producers design the
format of the show and control the day-to-day activities and the environment, creating a completely
fabricated world in which the competition plays out. Producers specifically select the participants, and use
carefully designed scenarios, challenges, events, and settings to encourage particular behaviour and
conflicts.
On the basis of your understanding of the passage, answer the following questions:
i. The word in Para 1 that means the same as ‘a category of literary or artistic work’ is
a. document.
b. unscripted.
c. genre.
d. artificial.
ii. In Para 3, a word that means the same as ‘unsuitable name for a thing’ is
a. misnomer.
b. modified.
c. abnormal.
d. manipulated.
iii. The phrase ‘capability or power to do something’ means the same as in Para 4.
a. extraordinary
b. potential
c. remarkable
d. ability
iv. The phrase ‘created by imagination’ means the same as in Para 5.
a. fabricated
b. reality
c. fantasy
d. designed
v. Reality television is far away from reality because
a. it is an artificial form of realism that is modified or influenced.
b. outcomes are often predetermined
c. participants can be coached to play a certain part.
d. All of the above
vi. Reality television is not considered healthy entertainment because
a. it can indulge in voyeurism and invade into people’s private space.
b. it has no element of art in it.
c. fabricated scenarios can put participants under stress to perform.
d. Options a. and c.
vii. Why do you think reality television has great appeal?
a. It gives us a glimpse of the lives of common people.
b. It is the most constructive way to pass our time.
c. It can place ordinary people in extraordinary situations.

viii. In what ways can a reality show be influenced?
a. Participants can be asked to behave in a certain way.
b. The recording of the show can be edited later on.
c. Situations can be artificially created.
d. All of the above
ix. Why is a reality show considered an ‘artificial’ documentary?
a. It documents unscripted events.
b. There is no role of professional actors.
c. Although it is not totally realistic, it is not entirely scripted either.
d. It features only dramatic or humorous situations.
x. According to the author, what is wrong with competition-based programmes?

Ulhas Mandlik, 35, a power-loom owner from Ichalkaranji, Maharashtra, and his mother were homeward-
bound one evening when heavy rain forced them to take shelter beneath a bridge. Not far away, a small
group of labourers huddled together under a part of the cement housing above a 16 metre deep well used
to pump water for irrigation.

Suddenly, Mandlik and his mother heard the labourers scream. When the two got to the well, they were
told that a five year old boy named Hariya had fallen in through a side opening in the structure. Ignoring
his mother’s fears, Mandlik quickly knotted together lengths of flimsy rope belonging to the labourers
and asked them to lower him into the dark well. “I hope the rope holds,” he thought. As he descended,
Mandlik noticed the metal rungs on the wall of the well. He grabbed hold of one and started climbing
down, when he saw the boy clinging to a pipe running up the well’s centre. Grabbing the child, Mandlik
started to climb praying that the old rungs wouldn’t give away and plunge them both into the churning
water below. Their luck held and within a few minutes, Mandlik clambered to ground level and handed
over Hariya to his sobbing father.

The man fell at Mandlik’s feet and offered him some money as a reward. Refusing the cash, Mandlik took
Hariya and his family to a nearby eatery and offered them steaming tea to warm them up. Several
organisations have honoured Mandlik for his bravery and presence of mind on that wet day three years
ago. “I am happy I was at the right place at the right time,” he says,” and was able to return a little boy to
his family.”

Unseen Passage for Class 9 | Atithi Devo Bhavah

New Delhi: Atithi Devo Bhavah. To make visitors to the city feel welcome during the Commonwealth
Games, India Tourism Development Corporation (ITDC) is set to train taxi and auto drivers, CISF
personnel posted at monuments, dhaba owners, hotel staff etc. Participants will be taught English as well
as courtesy and ways to communicate with tourists. At present, there is a shortage of trained guides in the
city and with Commonwealth Games drawing close, the issue has to be addressed promptly.

With hundreds of historical sites to visit and each monument boasting its own unique history, foreign
nationals are often left to fend for themselves and depend on tourist books and brochures for information.
Language is another problem. Quite a contrast to facilities offered in tourist sites in western countries,
where trained guides-proficient in several languages-are easily available to aid visitors apart from group-
guided trips at regular intervals. Although the Archeological Survey of India (ASI) plans to introduce
audio guide services in five languages at some world heritage sites our experts point that not a single
monument or tourist place in the city has an interpretation centre where tourists can come and get all
information pertaining to a particular site. ASI is also in the process of bringing out more brochures and
guides for foreign visitors in the city. Experts say such facilities are crucial if the government wants to
promote Delhi as a ‘heritage city’. Various agencies like INTACH are also involved in the plans.

Under ITDC’s plans, etiquette training for the Games will also be provided to residents who offer rooms
to foreigners under Delhi government’s bed and breakfast scheme. “House-owners will be given
hospitality related training and a brief of Indian tourism scenario. Most visitors generally question their
hosts on information about the city so they will be provided information on the golden triangle- Delhi,
Agra and Jaipur as well as where tourists should go visiting in Delhi,” said an official.

Read the questions given below and write the option you consider the most appropriate in your answer
sheet. 

Q1: What are the initiatives to be taken up by the India Tourism Development Corporation to make the
visitors feel welcome during the Commonwealth Games?
(i) training of drivers, CISF personals, dhaba owners and hotel staff.
(ii) promoting the sale of tourist books and brochures.
(iii) arranging audio cassettes and tapes on tourism.
(iv) constructing more bed and breakfast homes.

Q2: How have the western countries managed to offer aid and better facilities to their tourists?
(i) by providing good tourist books and brochures.
(ii) by providing well-behaved and courteous guides.
(iii) by training guides in several languages and group-guided trips at regular intervals.
(iv) by allowing foreign nationals to fend for themselves.

Q3: Apart from the guides and the guided tours, Archeological Survey of India has expressed the need for
establishing ______________ at historical sites to help tourists.
(i) interpretation centres. (ii) rehabilitation centres.
(iii) cessation centres. (iv) training centres.
Q4: What steps have been taken by ASI to promote Delhi as a heritage site?
(i) making brochures very informative and training the residents.
(ii) bringing out more brochures and involving other agencies in planning and visitor management.
(iii) offering tourists all sources of comfort for their stay and visits to historical sites.
(iv) providing owners of bed and breakfast homes information about Delhi, Agra and Jaipur.
