Q. 1 Read the following passage & answers the questions given below. (Marks 11) I dispatched the completed manuscript and promptly forgot about it. In the days which followed I gradually regained my health and I began to chafe at idleness. I wanted to be back in harness. At last the date of my deliverance drew near. I went around the village saying good-bye to the simple folk who had become my friends. As I entered the post office, the post master presented me with a telegram – an urgent invitation to meet the publisher. I took it straight away and showed it, without a word, to John Angus. The novel I had thrown away was chosen by the Book Society, dramatized and serialized, translated into 19 languages, bought by Hollywood. It has sold millions of copies. It altered my life radically, beyond my wildest dreams …and all because of a timely lesson in the grace of perseverance. But that lesson goes deeper still. Today when the air resound with shrill defeatist cries, when half our stricken world is wailing in discouragement: “What is the use …to work …to save …to go on living …with Armageddon round the corner? ” I am glad to recollect it. The door is wide open to darkness and despair. The way to close the door is to go on doing whatever job we are doing to finish it. The virtue of all achievement, as known to my old Scots farmer, is victory over oneself. Those who know this victory can never know defeat.

Q. 2 Read the following passage & answers the questions given below. (Marks 11) This kept me busy even when there was no teaching to be done.

As a school building was a court, village hall, police station and municipal office in addition to – being a school, the teacher’s role was varied. He was a judge, policeman, revenue official and even stamp-vendor. However, this much could be said for the arrangement : it was unusual for dispute to cross the boundary of the village. Most of them were resolved at a ‘panchayat’ meeting –that is before a council or assembly of about ten people. The dispensers of justice included the school-master and such venerable villager as the old karbhari, Rama’s Kakuba’ Shekuba and others. As a rule the judgment of these ten was accepted as final by offender and he would pay the fine decided by them. If the ‘panchayat’ failed to give satisfaction, he was at liberty to go in appeal. The appellate authority was a supernatural one, the oracle of a deity recognized by every shepherd; the Goddess was consulted before a large gathering of shepherds from all over the district. This step was taken but rarely, for communal banquet had to be given before the Supreme Being could be invoked and a banquet of the required sized might cost as much as seven or eight hundred rupees.

Questions 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Who are the members in a council of a Panchyat? (01) What were the different roles played by the school master ? (02) Why was the school master consulted on all problems or grievances? (02) What do you think of the ‘punchayat’ system?

(Use ‘notonly…. but also’) (01) iii)I kept the school going. (Identify the tense) (01) Find any two regional words from the passage. (01)

Q. No. 2. Answer 1. School-master and such venerable villager as the old karbhari, Kakuba’ Shekuba and others 2.

Rama’s The school mastered was educated and therefore believed to be a person of good common sense and wisdom. He was does consulted on all matters. 4. 4. The Punchayat is made up of a council of ten people. They would look after the general well being of the village. This is a good system as the problem of the villagers and the development were dealt with fairness and justice. 5. i)The school is at an experimental stage, isn’t it? ii)He was not only a judge but also a stamp vendor. iii)I kept the school going. 6. i) Panchayat, (simple past tense) ii)Kakuba

Q. No. 2 (B) : Note- making: While preparing to plant trees in a residential colonies, high ways or anywhere, one should consider three factors before taking decision. What kind of (species)trees, where to plant and what kind of soil. He should consider the qualities of a tree such as pattern of branching and its height. if it is a school, you need shade –giving trees of moderate height so that children can play under them and not be hurl when they climb on to them. In residential colonies, tree with thick branches, like eucalyptus or Ashoka should be chosen to control pollution and trap dust. Similarly, the nature of the soil too should be considered. If you are planting trees by the road side, it makes sense to go in for native trees like neem or ‘pungai’ that can withstand the topical monsoon and provide shade in summer. On high ways the well known choice would be the native trees like tamarind (marudam) or peepal. Being hardy, they do not need much care. Birds and animals interact more easily with native trees than the exotics. Villagers too consider such native trees to be sacred as the abode of gods.

B) Note- making: Draw a tree diagram that contains the points and important supporting details from the following passage. Note- making: The word ‘Literature’ is really hard to define. Many interpretation are made about the word, but all are incomplete. Some opine that literature is the mirror of the life. Some others say that it is the criticism of the life. Whatever the controversy of the word, we may say that literature is that which reflects life. The branches of literature are Poetry, Drama , Novel and Short stories. Poetry is of two kinds imaginative and realistic. Drama is either a comedy or a tragedy. Novel is also many kinds historical, psychological, realistic, scientific and regional. Short story is that one which stands very close to life in spite of little scope.

Q. 3 Read the following passage & answers the questions given below. (Marks 11) A Patriot is a man who loves his country, works for it and is willing to fight and die for it. Every soldier is bound to do his duty, but the best soldiers do more than this: they risk their lives because they love the country they are fighting for. They love its hills and valleys, its cities and villages, its people and their way of life, and they are willing to defend it to the last against enemies who try to conquer it and destroy it. Why is it that some nations have disappeared altogether? It has nearly always been because, when the great test came , when everything depended upon the most active resistance to that enemy, not enough men and women were found ready to sacrifice themselves in order that their country and their fellow countrymen might continue to live. Why is that other nations often small in population and power when compared with others, remain century after century free and independent in spite of great wars that have been fought around them and even within their own borders? The answer is that nowhere in such countries have men been found willing to yield to the enemy. For a time they may have seemed to be at the mercy of the conqueror, but they have waited, refusing to give in, until at last the opportunity has come to destroy or drive out the enemy, and win back their freedom.

My Idea Of An Ideal Student Honourable president of the programme, chief guest , respected Principal teachers and all my dear friends Good morning. Today, I am here to talk very briefly on a topic close to my heart, namely, My Idea of an Ideal Student. Friends, a student has many duties and responsibilities. The first duty of a student is to do what he or she is supposed to do – to study well. However, education does not mean only learning various subjects. A student must also learn to be a good human being. For this, the development of strong moral values is necessary. Moreover , it is the duty of the students to get involve in the betterment of society. They should spirit their education in whatever ways they can , and try to take part in social service camps. In conclusion, I would like to say friends we are young and have a lot of energy. We must use this energy in positive manner to construct a great nation. Only then we will be able to fulfill our duties and responsibilities and can have the privilege of being called ‘Ideal Students’. Thanks.
