I . SEEN PROSE PASSAGE : [9]
Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:-
In the poorer parts of New York, there was a colony where many struggling
artists lived, among them were Sue and Joanna. They had come to New York from
different parts of the United States. When they met, they found that they shared
the same interests, and so became friends. Together they set up a joint ‘studio’,
and tried to earn a living through art.
Joanna was small, thin and not very strong. After spending few months in
New York, she became ill with pneumonia. In those days, it was not easy to cure
pneumonia patients. Though Sue looked after her well, Joanna or Johnsy as she
was called, showed no signs of improvement.
One day, the doctor told Sue that Johnsy had one chance in ten. “And that
chance is for her to want to live,” he said. “Your little lady has made up her mind
that she’s not going to get well.” He told Sue that medicines alone did not help if
the patient did not wish to live.
That day, Johnsy just lay in bed without making any sound or movement.
First, Sue thought that she had fallen asleep but then she noticed that Johnsy was
looking out of the window and was counting something again and again in a very
low voice – almost a whisper.
Questions:-
1. Who was Joanna?

II. UNSEEN PROSE PASSAGE: [9]
Read the given passage and answer the following questions:-
In a small village in Holland, a young boy taught the world about the rewards of
unselfish service. Because the entire village revolved around the fishing industry, a
volunteer rescue team was needed in case of emergency.
One night the winds raged, the clouds burst and a gale storm capsized a fishing
boat at sea. Stranded, and in trouble, the crew sent out the signal. The captain of the
rescue rowboat team sounded the alarm and the villagers assembled in the town
square overlooking the bay. While the team launched their row boat and fought their
way through the wild waves, the villagers waited restlessly on the beach, holding
lanterns to light the way back.
An hour later, the rescue boat reappeared and falling exhausted on the sand,
the volunteers reported that they had to leave one man behind. Even one more
passenger would have capsized the rescue boat and all would have capsized the
rescue boat and all would have been lost.
Frantically the captain called for another volunteer team to go after the lone
survivor. Sixteen year old Hans stepped forward. His mother grabbed his arm,
pleading, ‘Please don’t go. Your father died in a shipwreck ten years ago and your
older brother Paul has been lost at sea for three weeks. Hans, you are all I have left.’

comes, we all need to take our turn and do our part.”

Was marble like the snow.

And, pacing quaint and slow,

They lifted me from dreamland.
We bade those trees good-night.

IV . Rapid Reader: [5]
Read the given passage and answer the following questions:-
Cook’s answer was to lock herself in her room.
It was William who discovered first that it was tea-time and there was no
tea. At first he felt slightly upset. Then he thought of the larder and his spirits
rose.
“Come on!” he called.”All jus’ get what you can.”
They trooped in, panting, shouting, laughing and all just got what they could.
George drank a whole jar of cream with great gusto, William and
Douglas between them ate a gooseberry pie, Henry ate a whole currant cake.
They ate two bowls of cold vegetables, two pots of honey, three dozen oranges
and three loaves of bread. They left the larder a place of gaping emptiness.
Shouts of triumph and laughter filled the air. Then the shouts of triumph
died away abruptly. William’s smile also faded away. A taxi was turning in at
the front gate.
The taxi contained his family.
Two hours later, a friend of William’s who had come with a note for his
mother, looked up to William’s window and caught sight of William’s untidy
head.
“Come and play with me, William,” she called eagerly.
“I can’t. I’m going to bed,” said William sternly.
“Why? Are you ill, William?”
“No.”
“Well, why are you going to bed, William?
William leant out of window.
“I’m going to bed,” he said, because my father don’t understand about English
Grammar, that’s why!
