3. Write reports on the following in about 200 words each :
(a) Corruption in politics (CAPF 2017)
(b) Environmental pollution (CAPF 2017)
4. Attempt a précis of the given passage in one-third of its length. Do not suggest a title.
Write, as far as possible, in your own words. The précis must be written only in the précis-
format given below:
During the launching of a satellite, the rocket must travel in exactly the right direction and at
exactly the right speed. Radio signals are automatically sent back to earth from the rocket. The-
se signals tell men on the ground how the rocket is travelling and help them to make sure that it
is going as it should. The signals go to special calculating machines called computers that work
very fast. The computers work out whether the rocket is travelling correctly. If it is not, they
calculate what correction is needed. Radio signals send the correction to the rocket and make it
automatically change its direction or speed as necessary.
Artificial satellites are used for many things. By sending them through the upper parts of the
atmosphere we can find out more about the atmosphere. The more air there is, the more slowly
the satellite will travel, until it falls to earth. By sending satellites round the earth at different
heights, we can find out how much air there is at each height.
We can find out more about the shape of the earth by means of satellites. If the earth is not per-
fectly round, its gravity will not be the same everywhere. Because the pull of the earth's gravity
FATHFINDERS’ ACADEMY PUNE by Dr. Prashant Jagtap Sir. Asst. Commandant CISF
www.pathfindersacademypune.com
keeps the satellite in its orbit, any change in the gravity will change the orbit. By watching the
way a satellite travels, we can find out whether the earth's gravity changes anywhere. If it
does, we know that the shape of the earth is different at that place. In this way artificial satel-
lites have shown us that the poles of the earth are flattened,
and that the South Pole is flattened more than the North.
Satellites can give us information about the weather. By sending up satellites with television
cameras on board, we can get pictures of the clouds below. Each picture shows an area the
size of one or more whole countries. By looking at these pictures, we can see bad weather be-
fore it comes to us. By getting warning of hurricanes or typhoons in this way, people can get
ready to shelter from them. Weather satellites can also show us when rain will come. Men are
now trying to forecast weather all round the world with the help of satellites.
5. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :
If we look back at India's long history we find that our forefathers made wonderful progress
whenever they looked out on the world with clear and fearless eyes and kept the windows of their
minds open to give and to receive. And, in later periods, when they grew narrow in outlook and
shrank from outside influences, India suffered a set-back, politically and culturally. What a mag-
nificent inheritance we have, though we have abused it often enough. India has been and is a vital
nation, in spite of all the misery and suffering that she has experienced. That vitality in the realm
of constructive and creative effort spread to many parts of the Asian world and elsewhere and
brought splendid conquests in its train. Those conquests were not so much of the sword, but of
the mind and heart which bring healing and which endure when the men of the sword and their
work are forgotten. But that very vitality, if not rightly and creatively directed, may turn inward
and destroy and degrade.
Even during the brief span of our lives we have seen these two forces at play in India and the
world at large — the forces of constructive and creative effort and the forces of destruction.
Which will triumph in the end ? And on which side do we stand ? That is a vital question for each
one of us and, more especially, for those from whom the leaders of the nation will be drawn, and
on whom the burden of tomorrow will fall. We dare not sit on the fence and refuse to face the
issue. We dare not allow our minds to be befuddled by passion and hatred when clear thought and
effective action are necessary.
(i) What hurdled the progress of India ?
(ii) What is the uniqueness of the Indian vitality ?
(iii) Why are the men of the sword and their work forgotten?
(iv) Why are the conquests of India always remembered ?
(v) What is the vital question referred to at the end of the passage and what is your answer to that
question ?

4) Attempt a précis of the given passage in one-third of its length. Do not suggest a title.
Write, as far as possible, in your own words. The précis must be written only in the
précis-format given below:
During the launching of a satellite, the rocket must travel in exactly the right
direction and at exactly the right speed. Radio signals are automatically sent back to
earth from the rocket. These signals tell men on the ground how the rocket is travel-
ling and help them to make sure that it is going as it should. The signals go to spe-
cial calculating machines called computers that work very fast. The computers
work out whether the rocket is travelling correctly. If it is not, they calculate what
correction is needed. Radio signals send the correction to the rocket and make it
automatically change its direction or speed as necessary.
Artificial satellites are used for many things. By sending them through the upper
parts of the atmosphere we can find out more about the atmosphere. The more air
there is, the more slowly the satellite will travel, until it falls to earth. By sending
satellites round the earth at different heights, we can find out how much air there is
at each height.
We can find out more about the shape of the earth by means of satellites. If the
earth is not perfectly round, its gravity will not be the same everywhere. Because
the pull of the earth's gravity keeps the satellite in its orbit, any change in the gravi-
ty will change the orbit. By watching the way a satellite travels, we can find out
whether the earth's gravity changes anywhere. If it does, we know that the shape of
the earth is different at that place. In this way artificial satellites have shown us that
the poles of the earth are flattened,
and that the South Pole is flattened more than the North.
Satellites can give us information about the weather. By sending up satellites with
television cameras on board, we can get pictures of the clouds below. Each picture
shows an area the size of one or more whole countries. By looking at these pictures,
we can see bad weather before it comes to us. By getting warning of hurricanes or
typhoons in this way, people can get ready to shelter from them. Weather satellites
can also show us when rain will come. Men are now trying to forecast weather all
round the world with the help of satellites.

5. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :
If we look back at India's long history we find that our forefathers made wonderful
progress whenever they looked out on the world with clear and fearless eyes and
kept the windows of their minds open to give and to receive. And, in later periods,
when they grew narrow in outlook and shrank from outside influences, India suf-
fered a set-back, politically and culturally. What a magnificent inheritance we have,
though we have abused it often enough. India has been and is a vital nation, in spite
of all the misery and suffering that she has experienced. That vitality in the realm of
constructive and creative effort spread to many parts of the Asian world and else-
where and brought splendid conquests in its train. Those conquests were not so
much of the sword, but of the mind and heart which bring healing and which endure
when the men of the sword and their work are forgotten. But that very vitality, if not
rightly and creatively directed, may turn inward and destroy and degrade.
Even during the brief span of our lives we have seen these two forces at play in India
and the world at large — the forces of constructive and creative effort and the forces
of destruction. Which will triumph in the end ? And on which side do we stand ?
That is a vital question for each one of us and, more especially, for those from whom
the leaders of the nation will be drawn, and on whom the burden of tomorrow will
fall. We dare not sit on the fence and refuse to face the issue. We dare not allow our
minds to be befuddled by passion and hatred when clear thought and effective action
are necessary.
(i) What hurdled the progress of India ? (3)
(ii) What is the uniqueness of the Indian vitality ? (3)
