16. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow them:
1. It is rare to find someone with good technical and communication skills. You can get far ahead of your
colleagues if you combine the two early in your career. People will judge, evaluate, promote or block you
based on your communication skills. Since habits form by repeating both good and bad forms of
communication, learn to observe great communicators and adopt their styles and traits-in written and
verbal forms. The art of listening and learning from each and every interaction, is another secret recipe.
Develop the subconscious habit of listening to yourself as you speak and know when to pause.
2. Learning what not to say is probably more important than learning what to say. As your career develops,
you will realize that the wise speak less. Speak when you have value to add, else refrain. Poorly constructed
emails with grammatical errors are acceptable between friends, but they should be seriously avoided while
communicating formally with your seniors. Avoid any communication in an emotional state when you might
say things you will regret later. One unnecessary word uttered at the wrong time or place can ruin a
relationship, career or even your life. Such is the power of words. If such a thing happens, you should
immediately apologise, else it may haunt you for life.
3. Another problem to overcome is speaking too fast. Since our minds are working faster than our speech,
we are inclined to speak fast. This does not necessarily mean that the person hearing it will get it any faster.
On the contrary, it is always the reverse. So slow down, and think before you speak.
"When I get ready to speak to people," Abraham Lincoln said, “I spend two-thirds of the time thinking
what they want to hear and one-third thinking what I want to say." Adding humour and wit is also essential.
But realize that not all jokes are funny and observe certain boundaries. Never say anything that could
offend. Remember you are not a comedian who must offend as many people as you can to be witty.
(a) On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer any four of the following questions in about
30- 40 words each:
1. Why is it necessary to have good communication skills?
2. How can communication skills be developed?
3. What, according to the writer, should be avoided while communicating?
4. Why should you be careful when you tend to be humorous?
5. Why are we inclined to speak fast?
(b) On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer any four of the following:
1. In order to gain good communication skills, we should adopt the traits of ___________.
1. our colleagues.
2. teachers.

16. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow them:
1. Actually, besides the God-given natural ability to think, two more things are necessary in order to think
effectively. These are knowledge and organisation. The reason you can't think clearly about certain problems
is that you do not have enough relevant knowledge or experience pertaining to them. If you have no
knowledge of a subject, you have no starting point for your thoughts; or you will think from a wrong
premise and, of course, think incorrectly. Since thought is the "go" sign for action, it seems likely that you
will act incorrectly and do the wrong thing.
2. Obviously, the next thing to worry about is how to go about obtaining this relevant knowledge. Again,
you must take the time to go out and search for it, if it pertains to some particular problem you must solve.
Apart from definite and particular problems, your relevant knowledge can only be acquired through
experience, from society in general, from listening to others and from reading.
3. Don't think because you converse with other people almost constantly, and read quite a bit, that you are
necessarily acquiring all the knowledge you are exposed to. One important ingredient may be missing - that
is, interest. You must have a spontaneous and genuine interest and/ or curiosity about a subject in order to
gain much knowledge about it. One good way, incidentally, of being interested in others is to stop thinking
of yourself so much. Listen a little more than you talk and you may learn something. Another way of
acquiring knowledge is to read with your mind instead of only with your eyes.
4. The salesman who wants to have a ready answer for any argument must know his product inside out.
He makes it his business to learn all he can about it. The executive who has a reputation for always coming
up with good practical ideas at the conference table may appear to be pulling these ideas out of the air, but
nothing could be further from the truth. He has probably spent a good deal of time studying all the problems
that may come up. He is not the type who shuts off his thinking ability the moment he leaves his office. He
does research into his business; he is genuinely interested in it.
5. There you have some work cut out for you. If you want to think clearly and effectively about your own
line of endeavour (or anything else), learn all you can about it!
I. On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer any four of the following questions in about
30- 40 words each:
1. What are the two more things necessary for thinking effectively besides the God-given ability to think ?
2. How can we acquire the relevant knowledge?
3. Do you think ‘interest' is essential for acquiring knowledge? How?
4. How do proper study and research lead to success?
5. How can we be interested in 'others'?

of which 27,780 are different words. The average person uses less than 1,000 words in writing, a little
more than that in speech and has a recognition vocabulary of about 5,000 words. Some of the greatest
writers may have twice this capability.
2. Today, English has a total vocabulary of two million words followed by German as a pathetic second
with 1,86,000 words, Russian with 1,36,000 words, and French with 1,26,000 words. Thus Shakespeare

by him are in daily use. Some of them have been used as titles for books and movies.
4. The vastness of vocabulary and the ability to see the relationship between words is one of the major
factors in measuring genius. Shakespeare excelled any other human being in this aspect His encyclopaedic
knowledge of science, history, mathematics, classical literature, sociology, psychology, law, Latin, French,
politics, music and art acquired by studying books relating to almost every mental discipline and observing
the habits and style of life of various sections of people all around him enabled him to draw ideas generously
from all those sources for being used in his plays.

words each:
1. What kind of vocabulary did Shakespeare have?
2. How many words did he employ in his writings?

16. Read the given passages carefully and answer the questions that follow.
1. We proud Indians, even in the 21st century, rejoice in celebrations when a boy is born, and if it is a girl,
a muted or no celebration is the norm. Love for a male child is so much that, from time immemorial, we are
killing our daughters at birth or before birth, and if, fortunately, she is not killed, we find various ways to
discriminate against her throughout her life. Though our religious beliefs make women a goddess, we fail to
recognise her as a human being first; we worship goddesses but we exploit girls. We are a society of
people with double standards as far as our attitude towards women is concerned; our thoughts and preaching
are different from our actions.
2. Let's try to understand the phenomenon of gender inequality and search for some solutions. Gender
inequality, in simple words, may be defined as discrimination against women based on their sex. Women
are traditionally considered by society as the weaker sex. She has been accorded a subordinate position to
men. She is exploited, degraded, violated and discriminated both in our homes and in the outside world.
This peculiar type of discrimination against women is prevalent everywhere in the world and more so in
Indian society. Therefore, what is needed is a movement for women's empowerment where women can
become economically independent and self-reliant; where they can fight their own fears and go out in the
E Your Hard Work Leads to Strong Foundation 10/23
 Class : X
world fearless; where they can snatch their rights from the clutches of men and they don't have to ask for
them; where women have good education, a good career, ownership of property and, above all, where
they have freedom of choice and also the freedom to make their own decisions without the bondages of the
age-old sayings of Manu.
3. Let's hope and wish that our participative democracy, in times to come, and with the efforts of both
women and men, would be able to find solutions to the problem of gender inequality and would take us all
towards our cherished dream of a truly modern society in both thought and action.
Questions:
1. What norms are followed in our society on the birth of a child?
2. How are our thoughts and preaching different from our actions?
3. What is gender inequality?
4. What freedom should women have?
5. The word ______ in para 1 is the antonym of 'mourn’.
