Q. 1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
The joint family system has undergone a drastic change in India. There are number of factors which are leading to the disintegration. Opportunities for employment outside agriculture and specially in the urban area are increasing as a result of which the young men from the rural areas have been shifting to these places. Many young persons in the urban area are also moving out for their parents’ places to seek opening in other parts of the country or even outside India. The property disputes and the sour relations between the mother-in-law and daughterin- law have forced many persons to opt for an independent living. As a result of disintegration of joint families, the aged have lost the traditional source of economic and social support which was easily available to them in joint families.

Q. 2. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: Most of the girls belonging to poor families do not go to schools in rural areas. When asked their parents would say that they want their daughters to be educated. They stay home because their parents believe that the kind of education on offer is not appropriate for their daughters, or because they feel the risks are too great. Those risks are real. Girls are sexually harassed sometimes by their fellow students, or teachers, or by strangers as they walk down to school. These pressures are central to low enrolment and retention of girls. Poverty also plays its part. If their clothes are torn, girls from poor families will stay at home. In such cases they are forced by the demand of modesty and propriety.

(b) What role does poverty play in the education of girls ? 1

( Reading )
( Marks : 15 )
Q. 1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
The great advantage of early rising is the good start, it gives us in our
day’s work. The early riser has done a large amount of work before other
men get out of bed. In the early morning, the mind is fresh and there are
few sounds and other distractions. So the work done at the time is
generally well done. The early riser also finds time to take some exercise
in the fresh morning air, and this exercise supplies him with a fund of
energy that will last until the evening. By beginning early, he knows that
he has plenty of time to do thoroughly, all the work he is expected to do
and he is not tempted to hurry over any part of it. All his work is finished
in good time and he goes to bed early. He gets several hours of sleep
before mid-night, when sleep is most refreshing. After a sound night’s
rest, he rises early next morning in good health and spirit for the labour
of a new day.
(a) How does early riser give a good start of the day’s work ? 1
(b) Why is the early riser not tempted to hurry ? 1
(c) What are the two advantages of early rising ? 2
(d) Why is the work done in early morning well done ? 1
(e) How can an early riser go to the bed in time ? 1
(f) Find a phrase in the passage which means ‘plenty’. 1

Q. 2. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :
Good manners are not inherited, nor do they come naturally to intelligent
people. They must be learnt and practised. They are based upon the
concept of consideration for others. They are easy to acquire and there is
nothing more profitable. Good manners are a necessary complement in
every walk of life and specially in business. Organizations whose
representatives are competent and well-mannered enjoy a good
reputation. The morale, productivity and profits of such a place will be
high. And this in turn will attract more business. There is no particular
place or time when a person would show or bring his elementary
courtesy. Courtesy, etiquette and manners are tools that one should
always carry with oneself wherever one goes. The first step to success
lies in treating the people as courteously as we wish to be treated.
(a) What are good manners ? 1
(b) When and where should a person show courtesy ? 1
(c) How are they acquired ? 2
(d) How is the business organization profited, if it has well mannered
staff ? 2
(e) Where should we be courteous ? 1
(f) Which word in the passage means ‘derive from parents’ ? 1
