Read the passage given below and answer the questions:This problem of the art of living is one which for two thousand years has interested and perplexed the world’s philosophers ………….. Most people would agree that, apart from the eternal verities, the art of living consists in the achievement of happiness and in the avoidance of unhappiness. Happiness has little to do with enjoyment or even pleasure; it is something for more reputable than self-indulgence. Happiness can only be found in the free and successful expression of one’s own personality. I shall now examine that phrase and therefore repeat it.Happiness, or the art of living, consists in the free and successful expression of one’s own personality, what do I mean by that? I mean something for more than the selfishness of self-seeking. People who are selfish or self-centered or conceited have not begun to learn the art of living; they have not mastered even the ABC of the art. Of all the miserable people in the world, there are none so miserable as those who think only of themselves and whose every motive is the self-seeking motive.You see, every man or woman born into this world is given certain personal virtues and cursed with certain personal defects. If he or she seeks to express his or her own personality, which I hold to be the art of living, he must strive always to express his virtues and to suppress his defects. He must not express the worst in himself; he must express the best in himself. He will never be happy if he falls into the dreary round of selfishness.(i) On the basis of your reading of the above passage make notes on it using headings and subheadings.(ii) Write a summary of the passage and suggest a suitable title.

Answer»

(i) Notes:
1. The art of living consists
1.1. in the achievement of happiness
1.2. in the avoidance of unhappiness

2. Happiness
2.1. is not self-indulgence
2.2. is not selfishness

3. Happiness can only be found
in the free and successful expression of one’s personality

4. Every man or woman
4.1. has certain personal virtues
4.2. is cursed with certain personal defects.

5. This art of living is
5.1. to express virtues
5.2. to suppress defects

(ii) Summary
The world’s philosophers have always strived to know the art of living and they, at last, define it as the achievement of happiness. Happiness is the free and successful expression of one’s own personality. It has nothing to do with selfishness or self-centeredness. A man having the art of living always expresses his virtues and suppresses his defects with having a desire of selfishness.

Write a speech on ‘Non-Violence: A Potent weapon for World Peace’.

Answer»

Non-Violence: A Potent weapon for World Peace

Respected Principal sir, teachers and friends! I am going to speak on ‘non-violence as a potent weapon for world peace’. The path of non-violence shown by a number of sages is a way to the theory of ‘live and let live’. Mahatma Gandhi defeated the British Empire and won the freedom for India using the weapon of non-violence. He showed the world that non-violence is not only a way of life but also a weapon for peaceful struggle. As far as I think, non-violence has great potential as a weapon for world peace. A world, based on the principle of non-violence, will be the most beautiful world.

Write a speech on the ‘Role of the Revolutionary Leaders of the Indian Freedom Struggle’.

Answer»

Role of the Revolutionary Leaders of the Indian Freedom Struggle

Respected Principal, teachers and my friends! I’m going to speak on the role of the revolutionary leaders of the Indian freedom struggle. During the days of our freedom struggle, two parallel powers were working against the British rule. On one side there were non-violent demonstrations under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. The other side was led by revolutionary leaders like Subhash Chandra Bose, Bhagat Singh, Sukhdev, Rajguru, Chandrashekhar Azad etc. These revolutionary leaders were full of vigour and did everything to terrorise the British. In my view, the revolutionary leaders played a great role in getting our freedom from the British.

Solar observatory in Rajastha is located at-1. jaipur2. Udaipur3. Kota4. Ajmer

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : Udaipur
  • The Udaipur Solar Observatory (USO) is in Udaipur, Rajasthan on an island in the Fateh Sagar Lake.
  • The sky conditions at Udaipur are quite favourable for solar observations. Since the observatory is situated amidst a large mass of water, air turbulence which occurs due to ground heating by the sun's rays is decreased. This improves the image quality and accuracy (average between 1-2 arc seconds).
  • Multi-Application Solar Telescope (MAST), a telescope for the detailed study of the Solar activity including its magnetic field, has recently been operationalized at the Udaipur Solar Observatory (USO) of Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), an autonomous unit of the Department of Space.   MAST is an off-axis Gregorian-Coude telescope with a 50 cm aperture.

Answer»

Smoking – A Silent Killer

Ladies & Gentlemen: Today I have come to meet you for a very noble cause. Last week, I came to know that a large number of residents in this area are addicted to smoking. You all should be aware of the harmful effects of smoking. Tobacco causes many health-related problems like cancer, respiratory diseases and other diseases. It is a killer. Besides these, it is a drain on the limited family income. Moreover, smoking is harmful to other members of the family too.
You know that even on the pouch of tobacco and packet of cigarette, a legal warning is clearly mentioned that smoking and chewing of tobacco is injurious to health. So, you all promise me that from now onwards you will never smoke or chew tobacco.

भाईयो और बहिनो: आज मैं आप लोगों से एक नेक कारण से मिलने आया हूँ। पिछले सप्ताह मुझे पता चला कि इस बस्ती में बहुत सारे लोग धूम्रपान के आदी हैं। आप सभी को धूम्रपान के हानिकारक प्रभावों से जागरूक होना चाहिये। तम्बाकू बहुत-सी स्वास्थ्य सम्बन्धी समस्याओं का कारण है, जैसे – कैंसर, श्वांस सम्बन्धी बीमारियाँ व अन्य बीमारियाँ । यह जानलेवा है। इसके अलावा यह परिवार की सीमित आय की बर्बादी है। धूम्रपान परिवार के अन्य सदस्यों के लिये भी हानिकारक है।
आपको मालूम होगा कि तम्बाकू के व सिगरेट के पैकेट पर भी वैधानिक चेतावनी स्पष्ट रूप से लिखी होती है कि धूम्रपान तथा तम्बाकू सेवन स्वास्थ्य के लिये हानिकारक है। इसलिये आप लोग मुझसे वायदा कीजिये कि आज के बाद आप धूम्रपान तथा तम्बाकू सेवन नहीं करेंगें।

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:Success comes to those who work with concentration and have thoroughness in action. Anyone who achieves success in the management of any great affair of life is entitled to honour. May he be an artist who paints a picture, an author who writes a book, a housewife who manages the household affairs or a soldier who wins the battle – the credit goes to his ardent spirit which is responsible for getting the job done thoroughly without getting discouraged by the failures.Nothing great and durable was ever achieved without perseverance. It is only by practice, patience, labour, thoroughness and an eye for perfection that man reaches the minutest details of the problem, overcomes them and attains his goal. There is not even a single statesman who has not been a man of industry.Louis XIV rightly said, “It is by toil that kings govern”. Washington, an indefatigable man of business trained himself in the habits of application, study and methodical work and successfully brought them to bear in the affairs of the government. Wellington, the head of his army in Spain directed the precise manner in which the soldiers were to cook their breakfast while on duty. He specified the exact speed at which bullocks were to be driven.If every detail in action is carefully arranged and well executed, then efficiency is secured. : Booker T. Washington, a great American leader and educator, gained admission to the Hampton Normal and Agricultural Institute, Virginia. The head teacher got impressed by his quality of thoroughness in work. When asked to clean the adjoining room, he swept the room three times and dusted every bit of furniture four times. This superb quality of thoroughness in work impressed the head teacher and Washington got admission in the school of his dreams.So, it should be borne in mind that behind every dream and success lies a long trail of passionate efforts which the world may never come to know. But if anyone thinks that great success can be achieved without thoroughness, then it is better if thoroughness becomes our second nature and with the boon bestowed upon us, we can reap the harvest of our toil for the rest of our lives.(i) On the basis of your reading of the above passage make notes on it using headings and sub-headings.(ii) Write a summary of the passage and suggest a suitable title.

1. Success comes to those who
1.1. worķwith concentration

4.2. specified exact speed – at which Bullock to be driven

5. Every dream and success lies in
5.1. a long trail of passionate efforts – the world may never come to know

(ii)Summary
Those who work with concentration and have thoroughness in action get success, whether they are painters, authors, housewives or any other professionals. It is the ardent spirit that makes the work done thoroughly. Without perseverance, not a single leader has yet succeeded. Many great people like Washington, Brooker T.

Washington, Wellington gained success in their life by toiling hard and engaging themselves in passionate efforts. Brooker T. Washington impressed his head teacher by the quality of thoroughness in work whereas Wellington directed the soldiers to cook their breakfast while on duty. So, at last, it is wrong to think to achieve success without thoroughness in action and concentration in work.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:Happy is the man who acquires the habit of reading when he is young. He has secured a life long source of pleasure, instruction and inspiration. So long as he has his beloved books, he need never feel lonely. He always has a pleasant occupation of leisure moments, so that he need never feel bored. He is the possessor of wealth more precious than gold. Ruskin calls books. “King’s Treasures” – treasuries filled, not with gold and silver and precious stones, but with riches much more valuable than these – knowledge, noble thoughts and high ideals.Poor indeed is the man who does not read, and empty is his life. The blessings which the reading habit confers on its possessor are many provided we choose the right kind of books. Reading gives the highest kind of pleasure. Some books we read simply for pleasure and amusement – for example, good novels. And novels and books of imagination must have their place in everybody’s reading.When we are tired, or the brain is weary with serious study, it is healthy recreation to lose ourselves in some absorbing story written by a master hand. Books are the most faithful of friends. Our friends may change or die, but our books are always patiently waiting to talk to us. They are never cross, peevish or unwilling to converse, as our friends sometimes are. No wonder a reader becomes a “book lover”.(i) On the basis of your reading of the above passage, make notes on it using headings and sub-headings.(ii) Write a summary of the passage and suggest a suitable title.

He has the treasure of knowledge, high ideals. Books never change or die like a friend. They are never cross, peevish or unwilling to converse. But they wait for us. The life of the man is empty who does not read. He is poor indeed.

Write a short speech in about 100 words on the ‘Importance of Traffic Lights’.

Answer»

Importance Of Traffic Lights

Respected Principal, teachers, guardians and my dear friends! Very good morning to all of you. Today I am going to deliver a short speech on the ‘Importance of Traffic Lights’. Traffic lights are not taken seriously by some drivers. We often see people jumping the red light and thus putting their lives and the lives of others at risk. Ignoring the red light is dangerous as it may cause a fatal accident.
Here, I would like to clarify to those who do not know the meaning of traffic lights. The Red light means you have to ‘stop completely’. The Yellow light means that you should be ‘ready to stop or move’. A green light means ‘move ahead’. It is safer to move when the traffic light turns green. If we ignore the traffic signals, we can be punished. Thanks for giving me an ear.

सम्माननीय प्रधानाचार्य, मेरे प्यारे गुरुजन, अभिभावकगण तथा प्रिय मित्रो! आप सभी को सुप्रभात। आज मैं ट्रैफिक लाइट के महत्व पर भाषण देना चाहता हूँ। कुछ ड्राइवर ट्रैफिक लाइट पर ध्यान नहीं देते। हम प्रायः लोगों को लाल लाइट को पार करते देखते हैं और इस प्रकार वे अपना तथा दूसरों का जीवन खतरे में डाल देते हैं। लाल लाइट की उपेक्षा बहुत ही खतरनाक है क्योंकि इस कारण दुखद दुर्घटना हो सकती है।
मैं ट्रैफिक लाइट का अर्थ स्पष्ट करना चाहूँगा। लाल लाइट का अर्थ है ‘आपको पूर्ण रूप से रुकना है। पीली लाइट का अर्थ है ‘आपको रुक जाने या आगे बढ़ने के लिए तैयार हो जाना चाहिए।’ हरी लाइट का अर्थ है ‘आगे बढ़ो’। जब लाइट हरी हो जाये तब आगे बढ़ना अधिक सुरक्षित होता है। यदि हम ट्रैफिक लाइट की उपेक्षा करते हैं तो हम दण्डित हो सकते हैं । मुझे सुनने के लिए धन्यवाद।
