WORKSHEET-1
SECTION-A (READING)
The next time you take printouts unnecessarily or you throw a paper into the bin, think for a
minute as to how many trees have been felled to manufacture something you use so often every
day.
Can you take out some time from your everyday routine and devote it to starting a simple
recycling programme at your school or your neighbourhood? Not only would you save our
planet from the torture of felling greenery, but you would also reduce generation and dumping
of waste into the environment.
Using recycled paper conserves natural resources. As our worldwide population grows, the
strain on these resources becomes even greater. You can drastically reduce the number of trees
cut down for manufacturing paper. In addition to saving landfill space, you cut down on your
expenses of trash-disposal. There is a reduction in air pollution caused due to incineration.
Making paper from discards instead of trees not only saves forests, but it also reduces energy
use by up to three quarters and requires less than half as much water. Items that are made of
paper and may be recycled are called the loose paper, a few examples are paper bags,
envelopes, cardboard, wrapping paper, soft-cover books, magazines, newspapers and
cardboard egg-trays.
A paper-recycling programme gives a positive image to large corporations or business
organisations. Parents can teach their children the importance of recycled paper by bringing
about simple changes in the lifestyle. Schools can also train students to make paper products
12
like folders, penholders, material for the display board, lampshades, teaching/learning aids, etc.
Students can creatively make their own cards, files, folders, invitation cards and certificates for
the school. Working on a paper recycling plant demonstrates the concept of recycling waste
into ‘wealth’. The real success of such programmes is visible in the seemingly simple acts like
students exchanging books in a new academic session, indirectly saving paper and thereby,
trees. This is amazing that only a single sheet is saved by each child, 40,000 trees could be
saved per year by students only.
Learning the facts about recycling paper will help you as you fulfil your part to keep the
environment green. If we keep our minds focused on the desire to be friendly to our earth and
her resources, recycling will become important. After a while, we will be in the habit of
recycling the paper that we use in the course of a given day.
(a) Answer the following questions: (2×4=8)
(i) Why do you need to think before you take print-outs unnecessarily?
(ii) Name the products that can be obtained from recycled paper.
(iii) How can schools help in creating awareness about paper recycling?
(iv) What act of children can save paper indirectly?

WORKSHEET-2
(SECTION-A READING)
1. Story telling songs, festivals and initiations are just some of the many ways people of the
past tried to preserve their traditions and memories. People marked items as means of passing
information to others, this included marking of stone, indents in clay, knotted lengths of cord
and scratching plates of lead, copper and wood using iron.
2. Babylonians wrote astronomical observations on bricks of clay. According to the
testimony of ancient historian Hellanicus, the first recorded handwritten letter (epistle) was
by Persian Queen Atossa, daughter of Syrus, mother of Xerxes, around 500 BC.
3. The leaves of plants and the bark of trees advanced the use of writing. The linden tree was
particularly good because the bark could be folded just like a letter. Egyptian papyrus made
possible the ancient libraries of Alexandria and Pergamum. The Roman Emperor Claudius
developed a new stronger type of cross-layered papyrus which was not damaged by the use of
the clams (reed).
4. Papyrus became so popular a writing material that law was introduced preventing it
leaving its country of origin in the East. This caused a shortage of papyrus in the West which
led to the introduction of new writing materials, vellum and parchment produced from animal
skins. Saxons of the dark ages used the bark of the beech tree, called back whence comes the
word book.
5. The style (pen) used in ancient times was made from wood, metal or a bone shaped to a
point. A reed was used on papyrus and parchment dipped in Indian/Chinese ink, made from
the secretion of cuttlefish. The 5th century saw the use of (goose) quills in Saxon, England.
15
6. Lead pencils were used in ancient Greece but only as a temporary marker to be rubbed
out later. It wasn’t until the 14th century that pencils made from a lead composite became
popular and in common use for a writing implement.
7. About the 10th century from the Far East to the West came cotton paper which was in
common use by the 12th century. A great advance in writing material came in the 14th
century with the introduction of paper made from linen rags. This method of making paper
continued for several hundred years.
1. While going home you came across many children on the roads with begging bowls in
their hands. You are shocked and disgusted at this unflattering picture of the country which
boasts of being major economy in the world. Write your experience in your diary.
2. Your society is facing the problem of robbery, murders, chain snatching etc. Write a letter
to the Editor for increasing number of crimes in your society.
In the following passage from George Orwell’s Shooting an elephant, some of the verbs have
been deliberately omitted. Supply the appropriate tense for each missing verb, the plain form
of which is given in brackets.
I got up. The Burmans ………………… (be) already ………………. (race) past me across
the meadows. It was obvious that the elephant …………………. (will) never rise again, but
he …………………. (be) not dead. He ……………………….. (breathe) very rhythmically
with long, rattling gasps, his great mound of a side painfully rising and falling. His mouth
was far open – I could see far down into caverns of pale pink throat. I
…………………………. (wait) a long time for him to die, but his breathing did not

into the spot where I …………………………. (think) his heart must be. The thick blood
welled out of him like red velvet but still he did not die. He …………………………… (die)
very slowly and in great agony, but in some world remote from me where not even a bullet
could damage him further.

WORKSHEET-3
(SECTION-A READING)
Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:-
Why does a person become overconfident? The reason arise in over-assessment of his
capabilities. Sometimes people over assess their competence and jump into situations that are
beyond their control.
Napoleon Bonaparte who becomes Emperor of France would say that the word ‘impossible’
was common only amongst fools. The overconfident Napoleon invaded Russia in the winter of
1812. This proved to be a big disaster.
Overconfidence generally leads people into misadventures, endangering their chances in life.
It is wisely said that any achievement is a result of two factors—one’s personal planning and
support from the external world. People take into account only their planning, generally
ignoring external factors. They become unable to foresee future developments. Hence, the great
risk of failure.
Then there is the question: how can one manage overconfidence? The formula is very simple.
Before taking a decision to discuss the matter with other informed people with an objective
mind and when it is proved that you are about to go off the path, accept reality and say without
delay, “I was wrong.”
Overconfidence is a flaw characterizing people who lack the virtue of modesty. Modesty makes
you a realist; you become a person who is cut down to size. People of this kind become very
cautions; before taking an action they assess the whole situation. They adopt a realistic
approach.
Overconfident people live within their own thoughts. They know themselves but they are
unaware of others. Living inside their own cell they are unable to make use of the experience
of others. This kind of habit is highly damaging to all concerned.
There is a saying that the young man sees the rule and the old man sees the exception, with a
slight change, I would like to say that the overconfident person sees the rule and the confident
person sees the exception. Overconfident people are always at risk. It is said that taking risk is
good but it must be well calculated otherwise it becomes very
dangerous.

1. Why does a person become overconfident?

WORKSHEET-4
SECTION-A (READING)
The sport has rapidly become an established part of entertainment industry and the smallest
detail of a sportsman’s private lives is exposed to the, media to public scrutiny. ‘IBP
professionals are often described as ‘stars’ and large business interests exploit their skills.
Considerable profits are made out of selling sports gear which is a replica of the gear used by
the professionals; newspapers sell more copies if their sports coverage is good, and substantial
gains can be made out of the spectators’ willingness to gamble on results.
The increasing demand for new, talented sportsmen serves to strengthen the popular image of
the professional sport as a highly glamorous occupation; the jealousy shown to players who
succeed and the failure rate of young entrants are ignored by the press. Even those who reach
the heights maintain their supremacy for only a relatively desperately needs help to establish
themselves in a new career. short period and then
It is always attractive to do something interesting and to do it as well as possible, but serious
injury or an unaccountable loss of form quickly halts the progress of many a young sportsman.
A handful of top professionals can afford a house in London, another in the country, and a third
one on the French Riviera, as well as a Rolls Royce and a yacht in the Bahamas, but most
professional players just manage to get a bare living from their sport. Outdoor life can be
delightful except when the prevalent weather conditions are rain, wind, snow, fog or ice. It’s
flattering to hear one’s name chanted with acclaim by thousands on the terraces but crowds are
fickle and soon forget, once time takes its toll on muscle and mind. Tommy Lawton, the
football hero of the forties, spent his last years in poverty, forgotten by all but a small band of
his closest friends.
Sportsmen at the height of their professional life travel all around the world. A cricket team
may spend its winter in Australian summers and the Wimbledon women champions may spend
the year bathed in sunshine, but their own social lives are disrupted and leisure hours have to
be sacrificed to hard, exhausting practice. All professional sportsmen must adhere to strict
training schedules to maintain their physical fitness; their lives are devoted to keeping the body
in peak condition by exhausting exercise combined with a strict regime of self-discipline and
moderation in food and drink.
21
Retirement comes at an early age and the financial rewards gained will probably not provide
enough to live on for the rest of life and the early-retired sportsman has to seek a new career.
He enters the new career fifteen years later than his contemporaries and often with not enough
reputation in his sport to persuade an employer to pay him a high salary. Perhaps, after all, it is
better to remain a keen amateur.
1. Answer the following questions in brief:
(a) In what way do large business interests exploit sportsmen’s
skills?
(b) What is the popular image of professional sport? How does the medium help to keep up
thisimage?
Look at the words and phrases below. Rearrange them to form meaningful sentences to
make readable passage. Write the correct sentences in the space provided.
(a) really / games and sports / true education / are / for / essential
(b) fit and / the body / games / look active / and / develop / keep it / make a person

का गुणगान करती है । इस पाठ के माध्यम से लेखक आज की सभ्यता की आलोचना करते हुए कहता है
वक शहरी लोग धूल की महत्ता को नहीं समझते बक्ति उससे बचने की कोवशश करते हैं । वजस धूल
वमट्टी से हमारा शरीर बना है उसी से दू र रहना चाहते हैं । लेखक छोटी वकंतु प्राकृवतक महत्वपूणा चीि
धूल के महत्व को बताना चाहता है और उसका सम्मान करने की प्रेरणा दे ता है ।
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
उत्तर- इस कथन का आशय यह है वक िूल के ऊपर अगर थोडी-सी धूल आ जाती है तो ऐसा लगता है
मानों िूल सज गया हो। उसी तरह जब बच्चे अथिा वशशु के मुख पर धूल लगती है तो एक सहज
सौंदया -सा प्रतीत होता है । ऐसा सौंदया जो कृवत्रम सौंदया सामग्री को बेकार कर दे ता है । अत: धूल व्यथा
िस्तु न होकर अवत सम्माननीय ि पूजनीय िस्तु है ।
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2)‘धन्य-धन्य िे हैं नर मैले जो करत गात कवनया लगाय धूरर ऐसे लररकान की’ – लेखक इन पंक्तियों
िारा क्ा कहना चाहता है ?
उत्तर- इस पंक्ति का आशय यह है वक िे व्यक्ति धन्य हैं जो धूल से सने बालकों को अपनी गोद में
उठाते हैं और उन पर लगी धूल का स्पशा करते हैं । बच्चों के साथ उनका शरीर िी धूल से सन जाता है ।
लेखक को ‘मैले’ शब्द में हीनता का बोध होता है क्ोंवक िह धूल को मैल नहीं मानते। ‘ऐसे लररकान’
में िेदबुद्धी निर आती है ।अत: लेखक धूल पर वलखी गई इन पंक्तियों में धूल के वलए सम्मान मानने से
मना करते हैं ।
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3)वमट्टी और धूल में अंतर है , लेवकन उतना ही, वजतना शब्द और रस में, दे ह और प्राण में चााँ द और
चााँ दनी में।
32
उतर- लेखक वमट्टी और धूल में अंतर बताते है परं तु इतना वक िह एक दू सरे के पू रक हैं । वमट्टी की
चमक का नाम धूल है । एक के वबना दू सरे की कल्पना नहीं की जा सकती। जैसे चााँ द के वबना चााँ दनी
नहीं होती, दे ह के वबना प्राण नहीं होते। यवद शब्द न हो तो लेख या कविता में रस कहााँ से आएगा। उसी
तरह धूल न हो तो वमट्टी का वनमाा ण कैसे होगा?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
------------
5)िे उलटकर चोट िी करें गे और तब कााँ च और हीरे का िेद जानना बाकी न रहे गा।
उत्तर- हीरा बहुत मिबूत होता है इसवलए हीरा ग्रामीण सभ्यता का प्रतीक है । कााँ च शहरी सभ्यता का
प्रतीक है क्ोंवक कााँ च एक चोट से टू ट जाता है और वबखर कर दू सरों को िी चोट पहुाँ चाता है । हीरा
हथौडे की चोट से िी नहीं टू टता ये बात दोनों के परीक्षण के बाद ही पता लगती है । वजस तरह हीरा
कााँ च को काटता है उसी तरह ग्रामीण हीरे की तरह मिबूत और सुदृढ़ होने के कारण उलटकर िार िी
कर सकते हैं । समय का हथौडा इस सच्चाई को सामने लाता हैं ।

अंवतम इच्छा पूरी करने के वलए मंवदर में जाता है । िह दीप और पुष्प अवपात करता है और िूल लेकर

घ) इस कविता का संदेश अपने शब्दों में वलक्तखए।
प्रस्तुत कविता के माध्यम से कवि ने यह संदेश दे ने की कोवशश की है वक सामावजक विकास के वलए
जावत के आधार पर वकसी िी तरह का िेदिाि नहीं होना चावहए। िारतीय संविधान के धारा-17 के
अंतगात िी छु आछूत को ग़ैरकानूनी माना गया है । दे श का संविधान प्रत्येक नागररक को समान
अवधकार दे ता है । जावत के आधार पर वकसी से िेदिाि करना सामावजक अपराध है जो मनुर्ष् की
गररमा को चोट पहुाँ चाती है । कवि के अनुसार जब हम सब दे िी मााँ की संतान हैं तब क्ा उस वपता का
दोष दे िी की गररमा से िी बडा है ? समाज में जो व्यक्ति ऐसा सोचता है वक दवलत के मंवदर में प्रिेश
करने से मंवदर या दे िी मााँ कलुवषत हो जाएगी , उस व्यक्ति के विचार में खोट है और हृदय में ओछापन।
छु आछूत के नाम पर दवलतों को मंवदर में प्रिेश करने से रोकना आधुवनक हो रहे मानि को पतन की
ओर उन्मुख करे गा और ऐसी क्तस्थवत में हम एक ऐसे समाज की संरचना करें गे जहााँ मानिीय-संिेदना
और मानिीय-सहयोग का लोप हो जाएगा।

(ख) सुक्तखया की वचता की आग अब बुझ गई थी। लेवकन उसे दे खकर वपता के वदल में दु ख से उपजी
