Q-7 Read the passage and answer the questions below. /10

Hockey

Sports and physical activities are fundamental to the early development of children and youth.
Through participation in sports, they learn about the importance of key values such as honesty,
teamwork, fair play, respect for themselves and others and adherence of rules. There are many
sports played worldwide. The top five sports are football, cricket, basketball, hockey and
tennis. Hockey is our national game. Many countries in the world started playing hockey in the
19th century. British soldiers brought this game to the subcontinent. So, the history of Pakistan
hockey is as old as the country itself. Between 1956 and 1986 Pakistan recorded extra ordinary
conquests which are still unmatched. Three times during this period, Pakistan won the Olympic
and World Cup crowns. The Asian games title was won six times and the Champions Trophy
in the first two years of its inauguration. No other hockey playing country has achieved this
victory in the history of the game so far. Players undertake different positions in hockey. They
are attackers, mid-fielders, defenders and a goalkeeper who remains in his team’s shooting
circle protecting the area. Each team consists of 16 players., 11 in the field and 5 in the
interchange area. Players use their hockey stick to control, pass, push and hit the ball. The
objective of the game is to get the ball into the opposing team’s goal. The team that scores more
goals wins the match.
