22) Read the passage and answer the following questions.
Food can maintain and save life. It can destroy life as well. Proper
food serves as medicine, improper food works as poison. A little
care about the quality and quantity of food will keep us healthy and
happy. If we go about eating all sorts of things, we shall become
sick. We take pride in calling ourselves civilized. Being sensible
means to know the difference between good and bad, right and
wrong. It will not do to become slaves to our tongue or taste. Even
cattle, birds and beasts eat only what is best for their body. We
mostly eat processed food and refined sugar. We pay heavily for
junk food, for Chinese dishes or deep fried snacks. As a result, we
catch diseases. We have drifted away from mother nature. We
laugh at the rules of hygiene, healthy diet and the advice of our
elders. This has given rise to diabetes. We offer chocolates, cakes
and ice creams too often to our children. We also attend parties or
dine out every day. This way we invite obesity and diabetes.

(a) What are the functions of food?

29) Write a short note on precise writing.

30) Write a precis on the following paragraph

We call anything beautiful that gives us pleasure, and that depends
as much upon ourselves as upon what is outside us. Perhaps the
majority of people find the sea beautiful when it is blue. If someone
has lived in Italy as a child and has to live beside the grey northern
seas when he is grown up, he will think that the grey seas are ugly:
and that nothing can be so beautiful as the blue Mediterranean. But
suppose a Scotsman who loves Scotland has to go and live in Italy.
He might find the blue sea after a little while very uninteresting.
Only when he went home and saw the grey sea again would he find
the sea beautiful. We are made in different ways, and grey may be
just as beautiful as blue, just as the cry of a baby may be found
sweeter in someone’s ears than the finest note of the finest singer
that ever lived. Nothing is beautiful or ugly in itself, but thinking
makes it so.

without our fellowmen; we require teachers to educate us: books
and masters to teach our trade; and when we have learned it and
settled ourselves in life, we require laws made by other men who
died hundreds of years before we were born, to secure to us our
rights and properties, to secure to our comforts in our station; and
we need friends to comfort us in sorrow and to share our joy.
27) Read the passage and answer the following questions.
Do you know that around 270 eucalyptus trees or 460 bamboo
plants are saved when we produce one ton of hand-made paper? It
is eco-friendly hand-made paper that also checks pollution of water,
land and air. Large quantities of polluting chemicals are used by
paper mills. Hand-made paper is the best form of recycled paper. It
has a fine surface for writing. It is also strong enough for making
drawings. Paper manufacturing is a very old tradition. It was
invented in China nearly two thousand years back. Indians used the
leaves of palm trees for writing. Papyrus is a kind of paper made
from a reed of the same name. It grew on the banks of the river
Nile, and was used in Egypt. The hand-made paper industry
flourished in India during the Mughal period. But it died with the
setting up of paper mills in the 18th and 19th centuries. Mahatma
Gandhi revived it during the freedom movement. Today it is a fast-
growing industry.

28) Read the following passage and answer the questions:
There was a time when all house-work was done by the women or
girls of the household. Few husbands ever dreamt of washing up,
preparing breakfast or tending the baby. Such duties were no
concern of theirs. And normal school boy assumed that if help were
needed in the home, his sisters would be called on to give it. The
whole family supported the view that the male child could not or
should not clean, mend, wash, cook or make beds. Things are very
different today. Doctors or barristers find nothing shameful in
putting on an apron to help in the kitchen or nursery and even boast
of being good at washing of clothes and personal linen. The school
boy is more often now than formerly expected to help his mother.
One reason for the change is the shortage of domestic servants.
Girls could once be found to do the hard work in middle and upper
class homes for very moderate wages. Such girls nowadays work
in factories. They earn more money than most householders can
afford to pay. Thus, the wife now does the household work herself
with the aid of labour saving machines; and she expects some help
from her husband.
Questions:
I. Answer the following questions briefly:
(a) Who usually did all house work in the past?
(b) Mention some household chores that women use to do in
their house.
(c) How did the whole family view the male child?
(d) How are things different now?
(e) Mention one reason that has brought this change today?
II. Find words from the above passage that mean the same as:

(b) took for granted
(c) talk proudly
(d) not excessive

shopkeeper wasn’t looking, the dog took a piece of meat and ran
away. The dog ran till it came near a clear stream to enjoy its food. As
he was going to eat the meat, he saw his own reflection in the water.
Since he didn’t understand that it was his own reflection in the clear

meat. So without thinking twice, he opened his mouth to bark at the
‘other dog’ and as soon as he did that, his piece of meat fell into the
stream.

22) Answer the following questions after reading the passage.

Conversation is a fine art. It is the art of exchanging thought. It is an

art which anybody can cultivate or master. Not everybody can paint or
play music, but almost everyone can talk. Thus, it affords the greatest
pleasure to the greatest number. ‘To talk”, says R.L. Sleversan, “is our
chief business in the world. And talk is by far the most accessible of
pleasures. It costs nothing in money, it is all profit. It completes our
education, makes friends and can be enjoyed at any age.
Conversation is indeed the most teachable of all the arts. All you need
to do is to find a subject that interests you and your listeners. Hobbies
are for example, numberless hobbies to talk about. But the important
thing is that you must talk about the other fellow’s hobby rather than
your own. Therein lies the secret of your popularity. 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
bore, avoid certain unpleasant topics. Avoid talking about yourself
unless you are asked to do so. Sickness or death bores everybody.
The only one who willingly listens to such talk is, the doctor, but he
gets paid for it. You must also know not only what to say but also how
to say it.
