SECTION ONE
(PROSE, GRAMMAR)



Q.1 (A) Read the following passage and do the activities: (10 marks)

A1. True or False

State whether the following statements are True or False. (2)

According to the narrator:

1.Saina, as a worthy citizen, has improved consistently. (False)
2.Saina is extremely confident at the back court.(False)
3.Saina has a lot of patience and self confidence in stroke. (True)
4.Saina utilizes the opponents error to change into a point. (True)

As a player Saina has improved consistently over a period of time. She has started depending mainly on her low serves which straightaway gives her an advantage to go on the offensive. Also at times she gets a quick point when the opponents make an error on the service return itself. This strategy looks easy but is difficult to implement since one can easily get caught if the player is not fast enough to respond to a good return of serve. She is extremely confident at the net when while dribbling which gives her a lot of weak mid-court returns. Again this is easier said than done. It needs hours and hours of tireless practice to master the dribble. She has a good hit as well which is so important to finish a rally and score a point. She is pre-pared to wait for the right opportunities to finish the rally. Sometimes it could present itself in the second or third stroke itself and on many occasions one might have to wait longer. This requires patience and a lot of self confidence in stroke-making. Obviously Saina has both these qualities which are helping her win matches.

From Kanyakumari to upper Assam, agricultural fields were at various stages of sowing, transplanting, tending and reaping; at some places, it was time to collect the hay. As the train covered mile after mile and state after state, paddy fields gave way to sugarcane and oil palms, and vast tea estates as the elevation increased. As we entered the corridors of the Northeast, we found a countryside dotted with countless fixed fishing nets on the banks of rivers, small lakes and water bodies on the borders of farmland popularly known in Kerala as Chinese nets. Only here, they were known simply as fishing nets.Unlike the train journey on the other part of the peninsula, the Konkan coast, the route on the east side is largely mundane. For the record, the train passes through seemingly interesting parts of the country but stays a few kilometers away from actual spots of interest. The closest we came to the famous Chilka lake was a signboard that read ChilkaVendors are pointers to the change in geography and culture. If it was masala dosa and puri below the Vidhyas, it was roti-sabzi, boild eggs and lemon tea when we entered the north. It was still surreal to see an outlet selling south Indian food at Guwahati station experienced travelers informed us that stall was quite popular having been in existence for several years. On such a long journey, where one otherwise ends up noticing the signboards of the stations only when a fellow traveler has gotten off, what pointed us to the Swiss knives and pen drives hinting that we were nearing the border.

Making village kids computer savvy


Parana Nair / TNN

"I always wanted to do something more than give money for wildlife, but couldn't decide what. That is when I got in touch with Rajashree Khalap of Satpuda Foundation who suggested that I volunteer to join the mobile health service of the organization to see for myself the area for which I wanted to work."

The pilot project was thus launched in Sawara village in Pench buffer in 2010 11. Chavan, along with Khalap, got in touch with another NGO Pratham that worked in the field of education. It ultimately helped them procure computers and study material to launch their programme at a government school in Sawara.

In whis way the scientist's talk shaped the writer's future.

Today I am going to share with you some of my life lessons. I learned these lessons in the context of my early career struggles, under the influence of sometimes unplanned events which were the crucibles that tempered my character and reshaped my future.
The first event occurred when I was a graduate student in Control Theory at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur. At breakfast on a bright Sunday morning in 1968, I met a famous computer scientist who was on sabbatical from a well-known US university. He was discussing exciting new developments in the field of computer science with a large number of students, explaining how such developments would alter our future. He was articulate, passionate and quite convincing. I was hooked. I went straight from breakfast to the library, read four or five papers he had suggested, and left the library determined to study computer science. When I look back today at that pivotal meeting, I marvel at how one role model can alter the future of a young student for the better. This experience taught me that valuable advice can sometimes come from an unexpected source and chance events can sometimes open new doors. (N R Narayan Murthy, From A Better India A Better World)
