IV. c) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below :[ 10 marks ]

Often students who are very fond of reading books are labelled by their comrades as bibliomaniacs. Those disparagements generally comefrom the mouths of students who consider themselves as being ‘gamsters’. Boys who shine in athletics in the playing of some games – particularlycricket, consider that games field a better or nobler arena for their activities and the expenditure of their energies than the class room or reading desks.The idea is born out of inferiority complex inherent in the games minded students who actually envy their fellows who shine academically. Academichonours have a glamour which is unique.

It is not to be denied that the playing of games is a worthy activity. It is worthy in the sense that the team spirit can be engendered in theindividual only if we learnt to participate in the playing of games. It is also true that the player does much for society and for his country on the playingfield. It is true that the feeling of cooperation can be cultivated in a person only through group activity. But studies should not be sacrificed in order

Page 21: NACHIMUTHU POL YTECHNIC COLLEGE - nptc.ac.in · them. Lami’ s theorem - statement - experimental verification of parallelogram law of forces and Lami’ s theorem . Simple Machines

21

that students devote their time only to the playing of games. It is observed that those boys who become obsessed with the playing particularly ofcricket begin to ignore then studies and then their academic ability suffers as it must.

Let each type of activity have its own place in our daily round and then alone will the balanced division of interest produce the individualwith a proper perspective of things. Then will we have the student who is both academically good and who can hold his own on the games field.That is the personality that we want our educational system to produce.

Questions

1. What according to the author is the main goal of education ?2. State the handicap arising out of our over involvement in games.3. Why are academically sound students called bibliomaniacs ?4. What are the two qualities acquired through playing games ?5. Suggest a suitable title for the passage.

IV. c) Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below : [10]

It may surprise many people that a thing like worry can be a killer. This has been proved by all medical researches that worry is a major causeof heart ailments, blood pressure, rheumatism, ulcers, dermatological problems, asthma and many other psychosomatic diseases. Dr Alexiscarrel a NobelPrize winner in medicine said “Businessmen who do not know how to fight worry die young”, but so do a lot of homemakers, lawyers and ordinaryclerks who do not control this evil.

There are several causes of worries. The fast paced complicated life style that most people are leading today contributes largely to ouranxieties. Shortages, fears, competitions and dissatisfaction - everything adds to the burden on our minds. Some of these factors may be uncontrolled butmost of them are within our control.

Plato, the Greek philosopher had foreseen this need as far back as 400 B.C. He had said, “the greatest mistake physicians make is that theyattempt to cure the body without attempting to cure the mind. Mind and body are one and should not be treated separately. This was the basis thatlaid the foundation of the modern psychosomatic treatment. As children we have heard the famous quotation, “ A healthy mind in a healthy body”. Onehas just to alter the saying a little to fit in the modern times - “A healthy body depends on a healthy mind”. Emotions like futility, frustration, anxiety,worry, fear, despair etc. are negative emotions. These affect much our mental as well as physical health. Worry, especially creates a very high degree oftension. Many a time we find ourselves unable to concentrate due to worries. Only a cool and worriless mind functions normally and to its capacity.

Questions

1. What according to medical researches does worry cause ?2. State the modern cause of worry.3. Mention some negative emotions.4. How do negative emotions affect us ?5. What does the psychosomatic treatment presuppose ?

IV. d) Study the following chart and convert the contents into a passage of about 150 words. [ 5]

Cease, fond nature, cease thy strife.

And let me languish into life.

Hark! they whisper; angels say,

Sister spirit, come away!

What is this, absorbs me quite ?

Steals my senses, shuts my sight,

Drowns my spirits, draws my breath ?

Tell me, my soul, can this be death ?

The world recedes; it disappears !

Heaven opens on my eyes ! my ears

With sounds seraphic ring !

Lend, lend your wings ! I mount! I fly !

O Grave! Where is thy victory ?

O Death! Where is thy sting?

4. Text of the dialogue to be played back from the pre-recorded cassette :

Vijay : What my friend! You seen to be so pensive today! What are you ruminating over ?

Vignesh : Just now I read in the newspaper that corruption charges are leveled against some of the prime leaders of our country. It’ssickening to think about these politicians. I just can’t help comparing Indian today and India fifty years ago.

Vijay : Come on, give vent to your feeling and ideas freely.

Vignesh : Think of the British rule in India. Then the people were united and rose up to the occasion without any selfish motives. Ourleaders like Gandhiji, Patel and Subash Chandra Bose led the people in the right path and achieved freedom for our countrywithout blood and knife. How many hardships they underwent!

Vijay : Of course! It’s because of their selfless sacrifiees, we are breathing the air of freedom today. Our leaders thought that indepen-dence would develop not only the country but also the people in it.

Vignesh : Exactly, When India was declared free on August 15th 1947, how jubilant we were! What was the dream of the people then? Theyimagined that India would reach the height of prosperity and everyone would get everything in plenty. They expected that ourministers would be loyal honest, trust worthy and live and die for the sake of the country. But what’s happening here?

Vijay : What to do? Today everything is politicized. All our leaders are power mongers. They want to come to power not to develop thecountry in anyway bu to achieve their personal ends and make money for themselves. They are corrupt.!

Vignesh : Yes. They neither think about the welfare of the country nor about the people. All their plans are directed towards grabbing votesby hook or crook. It is the people who send them to Parliament but they are befooled and cheated in many ways. Even the fewwelfare schemes do not really reach the masses.

Vijay : Powerful medias such as cinema, television, radio and newspapers should come to the aid of the people. Unless the peoplerise up to the occasion and put an end to this present trend, there is no remedy for this evil.

Vignesh : What you say is correct. People should be taught to elect the right persons. Then I’m sure that prosperity and progress willbe at the door step of our country.

Vijay : True! People are misled by several parties and partymen. At this hour of need it is the duty of the youngsters to eradicate thewide spread illiteracy and create awareness among the people. If such steps are taken, then I’m sure, we can soon bring abouta clean government.

Vignesh : I do agree with you. Let’s hope that our ideas are converted into realities soon.
