UNIT – I
(Reading an Unseen Passage and a Poem)
1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
When summer came, the sun hit Madras with a ferocity that made people flee the city. Rich people went away to the hill stations like Kodaikanal and Ootacamund. For me the retreat would be where my parents lived. My father was the headmaster of a government high school at Chennapatna in Mysore State which could be reached by a night’s journey on one train to Bangalore, and then on by another one, a slow puffing train which passed through a rocky landscape. My grandmother generally escorted me to Chennapatna when my school closed for summer, but she wasted nearly three weeks of my vacation in preparation for the trip. Her particular preoccupation at this time was the making of various sun-dried edibles out of rice and pulses, which would be fried and used as a side dish all through the year. She would also soak certain green legumes in salt water and sun-dry them for use out of season all through the year. All this was an elaborate ceremony, planned weeks ahead from February, when the air was a little damp. “In about ten days after the Shiva Rathri festival, there will be no mist and in must get things ready”, she would say cataloguing several items of preparation; first shopping for the spices and pulses. Fortunately, we had a cooperative consumer store occupying a whole wing of our home, which we could reach by a side door beyond the bathroom. Actually our house was one big unit which my grandmother had partitioned and rented out to different offices and stores and families, keeping only a kitchen, living room and my uncle’s upstairs room, for our own use. I did not realise at that time how much she depended on the rents for our survival. (Para 1)
My grandmother would select a quiet afternoon for visiting the store with her indent. When In returned home from school the floor would be strewn with gunny sacks and paper parcels. Somehow the sight of it filled me with delight. But when my uncle came home from college and noticed this activity, he frowned and made unpleasant comments, which upset my grandmother. She would retort hotly, and my uncle would say something more pointed in reply. I never made out what they said or argued about, although I watched and studied their faces keenly by turns, and tried to read a meaning. I only understood when she mentioned ‘Gnana’, which was my mother’s name. My grandmother would say, “Can’t go barehanded, I have to give Gnana something. She can’t prepare anything herself; she is so sick and week.” My uncle was a devoted brother to my mother and would not carry his objections further but, murmuring something vaguely, would disappear up the staircase. (Para 2)
My grandmother would soon have a battalion of helpers around the house, pounding and sifting and grinding and mixing and kneading on a large scale-her helpers were her friends, admirers, tenants, and paid servants. The house resounded with a variety of orchestration-the iron clad pounder crushing, the swish of winnows, the ceaseless roar of the grinding stone, and the chatter of people over it all. Grandmother would have pulled out great rolls of palmyra mats and spread them out on the terrace. Differently shaped edibles would issue from little brass hand-pressers, and be set on the mats, and left there to dry in the blazing sun; she allotted the task by turns to the younger members of her following to watch with stick in hand for crows and to drive them off. When my turn came, I sat in a strip of shade all afternoon and scared away the crows by screaming at them, and was rewarded with an anna at the end of the day. Apart from the money, I rewarded myself, in the course of my watch, by peeling the half-dry stuff of the mat and eating it raw till I felt ill. My uncle ignored the turmoil in the house, averted his head, and preferred to make no comment whenever he passed the terrace; but my grandmother fried some of her product for him at the end of the day, and he relished it when I carried a plate to his room. (Para 3)
Eventually jars and containers would be filled and stored away for distribution at the appropriate time to various members of the family living far and near. My mother’s share would be particularly heavy. “Poor thing, so many child-births, so sickly, can’t do a thing for herself”, my grandmother would keep saying to her friends. “She needs more help than anyone else. She’s helpless if I don’t help.” (Para 4)
My grandmother’s preoccupations were several and concerned a great many others. She was a key figure in the lives of many. She was versatile and helpful. She was also a match-maker; she pored over horoscopes and gave advice and used her influence to get marriages settled. I always picture her with a little spade or pruning sheers in hand, for all her spare moments were spent in the garden. She would carry on discussions on vital matters with her friends while her hands were busy trimming off unwanted branches. Some days, mostly in the evening, someone would be brought in howling with pain from a scorpion bite. Granny would first tell the person to remain quiet; then she would go to the backyard and pluck the leaves of a weed growing on an untended wall, crush it between her fingers, squeeze its juice on the spot where the scorpion had stung, and then make the sufferer also chew the bitter leaves. If the victim made a wry face, she would remark, “This leaf is Sanjeevini, mentioned in the Ramayana. It can save you even from the venom of the darkest cobra. Don’t make that face. Go on, swallow it.” (Para 5)

কিন্তু, ধন নাথাকিলেও মানুহ ভাল হ’ব পাৰে । ধনেই গৌৰৱ বঢ়ালেও দুখীয়াজনৰ মনৰ গৌৰৱৰো স্থায়িত্ত্ব আছে । আজিকালি জ্ঞানীক লোকে চকুৰে চায়, উচ্চ আসনত বহুৱায় । আজিকালি জ্ঞানীয়ে মৰ্যাদা পায় । ধনীৰ জ্ঞান নহ’লে মানুহে ভাল নোবোলে । আজিকালি সেয়ে ধনেই সৰ্বস্ব নহয় । ধনে মৰ্যাদাক হ্ৰাস কৰিবও পাৰে । আজিকালি জ্ঞানে প্ৰাসগীকতা বহন কৰিছে ।
প্ৰশ্ন ২: ‘গৌৰৱ’ প্ৰবন্ধটোত প্ৰকৃত গৌৰৱৰ কাৰণ কি বুলি কোৱা হৈছে ?

প্ৰশ্ন ৩: প্ৰসংগ সংগতি দৰ্শাই ব্যাখ্যা কৰা – “বিজেতাই মানুহকহে পৰাস্ত কৰে, মানুহৰ মনত পৰাস্ত কৰিব নোৱাৰে ।”

দেশ বিজয় কৰা বীৰসকলক আমি গৌৰৱৰ পাত্ৰ বুলি ভাবো । কিন্ত বিজেতাই প্ৰথম দিন দেশ জয় কৰে, দ্বিতীয় দিন ৰাখে, তৃতীয় দিন বিজিত দেশ তেওঁৰ হাতৰ পৰা যায় । বিজেতাই মানুহক পৰাস্ত কৰে কিন্তু মানুহৰ মনক পৰাস্ত কৰিব নোৱাৰে । উদাহৰণ স্বৰূপে জুলিয়াছ ছিজাৰে বাস্তৱিকতে দেশ জয় কৰা নাছিল, কিন্তু ভাৰ্জিলে কৰিছিল । আলোকজেণ্ডাৰে দেশ লৈছিল হয়, কিন্তু প্লেটোৱেহে মানুহৰ মন জয় কৰিছিল । ইউৰোপত নেপলিয়ন বোনাপাৰ্টতকৈ মাৰ্টিন লুথাৰ বেছি জনপ্ৰিয় । আকবৰৰ ৰাজ্য কেতিয়াবাই চাৰখাৰ হ’ল,কিন্তু গৌতম বুদ্ধৰ হোৱা নাই । চ্যুকাফাৰ ৰাজ্য আৰু নৰনাৰায়ণৰ ৰাজ্য কালে ধ্বংস কৰিলে হয়, কিন্তু শংকৰদেৱৰ ৰাজ্য ধ্বংস কৰিব পৰা নাই । মহাপুৰুষ ৰাজ্য টুটক ছাৰি বাঢ়িছেহে । নিউটন, ডাৰউইন আদি পণ্ডিতে তেওঁলোকৰ নিজৰ মনৰ ভাৱ আনৰ মনত সুমুৱাই দি তেওঁলোকৰ নিচিনা সকলোকে চিন্তা কৰিবলৈ দিছে । অৰ্থাৎ চিন্তা, কৰ্ম, জ্ঞান, আত্মসংযম, আত্মদান আদি সদায় মানুহৰ মনত ৰৈ যায় বিলীন নহয় ।
প্ৰশ্ন ৪: জন্মগতভাৱে লাভ কৰা ধন আৰু মান স্থায়ী হয়নে ? বুজাই লিখা ।

প্ৰশ্ন ৫: প্ৰসংগ-সংগতি দৰ্শাই ব্যাখ্যা কৰা:

SECTION A
(Reading Skill: 10 Marks)
1. Read the following passage carefully
It is a disturbing fact that today many different kinds of wild animals throughout the world are in danger of extinction. The reasons for this are many and varied, but we must largely blame pollution, pesticides, the disturbance of the animals’ natural environment and man’s greed and thoughtlessness.
Industry has grown enormously, and it has become common practice for factories to dispose of waste matter in streams and rivers, causing great loss of river life. Modern agricultural methods include the use of pesticides which effectively control insects classified as pests, but which also destroy many that are not. An increase in population has meant more building and with it the destruction of much of the countryside that provides habitat for wild animals. To satisfy man’s selfish desires the polar bear in North America is under threat, hunted by sportsmen; in Borneo and Sumatra the orang-utan has become part of a smuggling racket; in South America the chinchilla is almost extinct because its fur is in demand; whales are massacred world-wide for the oil and the food they yield. These are only a few of the species under threat.
But the problem is receiving world-wide recognition, and some action is being taken. To name a few examples — sewage pollution in the river Thames has been greatly reduced; a ban on trading in some furs has been agreed; and organizations like Friends of the Earth do valuable work in this deserving cause.
