SECTION – A
READING (20 MARKS)
1. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow: [1X10=10]
We give undue importance to our health and the treatment of diseases. A large number
of medicines treat only the symptoms of the disease, and not the root cause. In fact, the
cause of many chronic ailments is still being researched. It is here that Yoga therapy comes
to our assistance. Yoga emphasizes treatment of the root cause of an ailment. It works in a
slow, subtle and miraculous manner. Modern medicine can claim to save a life at a critical
stage, but, for complete recovery and regaining of normal health, one must believe in the
efficiency of Yoga therapy.
The Yogic way of life includes a code of ethics, regulations, discipline, combined with
prayer and meditation. Even a discussion of these subjects helps one relieve mental
tensions and change attitudes. Simple Asanas help to stretch and relax the whole body and
release tensions. The sincere practice of Yoga postures is beneficial, for the mind and
body.The continued practice of Yoga has a great effect on the inner peacein one’s life.
Yoga aims at developing the mental, physical, spiritual and emotional facilities. Other
formsof physical exercises, like aerobics, assure only physical well-being. They have little to
do with the development of the soul and mind.
(i) What do most of the medicines treat?
(ii) Which phrase in the passage would mean ‘long lasting illness’ ?

(iv) How does yoga therapy work?

(vii) How does sincere practice of yoga benefit us?
(viii) Is yoga better than physical exercises? Why?

(ix) Give the synonym of “Sickness” from the passage.
2. Read the passage given below:
1x10=10

Nepal, a small, mountainous country tucked between India and China, may seem
completely foreign to many Americans. Cows walk down busy streets unharmed, 24
different languages are spoken, and people eat two meals of rice and lentils every day.
Nepali holidays, many of which are related to the Hindu religion, can seem especially bizarre
to Americans unfamiliar with the culture. However, if we look beyond how others celebrate
to consider the things they are celebrating, we find surprising similarities to our own
culture.

The biggest holiday in Nepal is Dashain, a ten-day festival for the Hindu goddess Durga that
takes place in September or October. According to Hindu beliefs, Durga defeated the evil
demons of the world. To thank the goddess, people visit temples in her honour and sacrifice
goats or sheep as offerings. Throughout the year, most Nepalis do not eat much meat
because it is expensive, but Dashain is a time to enjoy meat every day. Children fly
colourful, homemade kites during Dashain. People also construct enormous bamboo swings
on street corners and in parks. Every evening people gather at these swings and take turns
swinging. Nepalis say that by swinging, people can relieve the earth of their weight, if only
for a few minutes out of the year. Dashain is a time for people to eat good food, relax, and
enjoy themselves!

Aside from eating and enjoying themselves, during Dashain, people also receive blessings
from their elders. Schools and offices shut down so people can travel to be with their
families. Reuniting with family reminds people of the importance of kindness, respect, and
forgiveness. People also clean and decorate their homes for Dashain. And, like many
holidays in the United States, it is a time for shopping. Children and adults alike get new
clothes for the occasion. People express appreciation for all that they have while looking
forward to good fortune and peace in the year to come.

During American holidays, people may not sacrifice goats or soar on bamboo swings, but we
do often travel to be with family members and take time off work or school to relax. No
matter how we celebrate, many people around the world spend their holidays honouring
family, reflecting on their blessings, and hoping for good fortune in the future.

4) Which of the following sentences from the passage best indicates why the author thinks
Nepal would seem very foreign to many Americans? (1 Mark)

A. “Cows walk down busy streets unharmed, 24 different languages are spoken, and people
eat two meals of rice and lentils every day.”
 B. “Every evening, people gather at these swings and take turns swinging.”

C. “People also clean and decorate their homes for Dashain.”

E. “During American holidays, people may not sacrifice goats or soar on bamboo swings,
but we do often travel to be with family members and take time off work or school to
relax.”

differently, one similarity is that many people? (1 Mark)
