Read the following passage and answer the questions set on it:Everyone needs a holiday, both to relax and to have a change of environment. The holiday makers feel relaxed and refreshed at the end of the holiday and look forward to the resumption of their duties, be it at school, office or factories, with renewed vigour. This is the reason why all establishments grant their employees annual leave with the end of the Academic year. The Schools and Universities grant their pupils a long holiday during mid summer. This will last until early June when the new school term starts. Of course the parents will like to take advantage of this and take their leave to coincide with the children’s vacation. This has become a traditional holiday season in most Asian countries particularly in India.With the coming of April the traditional holiday season in India reaches its peak point and most of the holiday resorts are packed to capacity. In order to avoid the crowd some prefer to take their holiday a little earlier. Those who have already taken their holidays can console themselves not only with reflections on the happy days spent in the country, at the seaside or abroad but with the thought that holiday expenses are over and by taking an earlier holiday they have missed the April rush.The main thing, of course is the weather and whatever the weather is like, the essence of a holiday for most is the carefree atmosphere in which it can be enjoyed. “Take all you need but leave your worries behind” is the sound advice for the holiday maker. Private worries are not always easy to escape from. However, even the pessimist would admit that for the moment things appear brighter than they have been.Holiday time is surely a time for shedding serious preoccupations and seeking pleasures that appeal to us.(a) Add a prefix to the word ‘advantage’ to form its antonym.(b) What time is surely meant for shedding serious preoccupations?(Fill in the blank with the appropriate form of the word in brackets)(c) Children cannot control their ......

Bring out the culture of the Japanese as explained by George Mikes.

Answer»

In his travelogue, George Mikes narrates four anecdotes which will help any foreign visitor to understand the cultural traits of the Japanese people. The author first highlights how peoples courtesy serves a double function in Japan. He assertively states that a couple, with perfect confidence, can carry on even their intimate love quarrels in public, in perfect privacy, without being apprehensive of any passerby overhearing them. Next, he talks about the bowing mania of the Japanese people and how the Japanese manage to show even the slightest differences in their hierarchy with a great deal of natural and inimitable grace.

Then, he narrates how, the very same people who, a few minutes ago had bowed to each other with such ceremonious solemnity would behave like savages, push each other aside, tread on each other’s toes and elbow their way into the bus. Finally, he talks about soup-eating in Japan. He says that, according to the Japanese, when eating soup one must make a fearful noise so as to express his appreciation, otherwise the guest will be considered an ill-mannered lout.

What is unique about bowing in Japan?

Answer»

According to George Mikes, as soon as we land in Japan, the first thing we notice is bowing is so ubiquitous in Japan. The writer comments that it is the mania of the Japanese. He remarks that everyone keeps bowing to everybody else with the ceremonious solemnity of a courtier yet with a great deal of natural and inimitabLe grace. If two Japanese bow, as a rule, neither is to straighten up before the other stands erect in front of him. He states that bowing is quainter, more formal, and more oriental and also infectious.

Besides, he also says that the Japanese follow a complicated hierarchy in bowing. This system decides who bows to whom, how deeply and for how long. Though it is a little complicated to us, the Japanese manage it without difficulty and subtly and reflect in their bowing even the smallest difference in rank, standing, age, and social position in a split second.

Apart from saying that the Japanese follow a complicated hierarchy in their bowing, the author says that the Japanese follow certain basic rules inside the family. They are: the wife bows to her husband, the child bows to his father, younger brothers to elder brothers and the sister bows to all brothers of whatever age. In Japanese stores, bowing girls stand at the top of escalators and their only duty is to bow deeply and deferentially to all and sundry.

The ticket checking conductors on the fast Tokaido Line, march to the middle of the coach, and bow ceremoniously in both directions before checking the tickets. At Nara, a deer created the impression that it bowed to the author.
