General Instructions:

(i) This paper is divided into three sections: A, B and C. All sections are compulsory.

(ii) Separate instructions are given with each section/question, wherever necessary. Read them carefully and follow them.

SECTION A – Reading (30 Marks)

Q.1. Read the following passage carefully: (12 Marks)

1. Feng Shui is an ancient practice of China which lays down rules for the location of buildings, their fixtures and designs to bring about good fortune. Literally, the word means wind and water. Feng Shui is popular even today with about six million Chinese using it to choose their homes or the location of their offices and factories with the hope of achieving an extra edge in business. Some people follow Feng Shui passionately; others do not want to take a chance by not referring to it. Thus, few dare to function without it.

2. A Feng Shui expert would first determine the building’s

orientation with the help of a compass. Next, he’d divide each room into nine squares and with the use of arcane logarithmic formulae that take into account the dates of birth of the residing couple, analyse whether the most propitious directions are being used to the best advantage and how the ill-effects of the unlucky


spots can be underplayed. 3. The Chinese have always used Feng Shui to their advantage.

Since the Chinese locate their towns on the basis of Feng Shui, they generally avoid flat areas which are vulnerable to floods and typhoons. The south side of a hill, protected from north winds and marauding bands is regarded an ideal location for a house or any settlement. When forced to provide land to the American and European merchants in Canton, China offered them a mud flat on River Pearl. Soon these foreign buildings were overrun by white ants leaving the Chinese mandarins chortling to themselves.

4. It was around the time of the Han Dynasty that Feng Shui was

extended to the dwellings of the living. Feng Shui has two main schools-one which involves more freewheeling analysis of landscape forms and the other which depends more on elaborate calculations and the compass. Its influence was pervasive by the mid-19th century.

5. When the Britishers made the low-lying swampy patch known as

Happy Valley their site for office, the engineers working on it, began dying of fever and malaria. After this disastrous foray, the colonial government chose to locate their office in an area regarded as auspicious, backed by rolling hills and fronted by water. When they began planting trees on those barren hills, locals regarded them astonishingly astute. Gradually, the colonial authorities began showing more sensitivity towards the Chinese customs and rerouted prospective tunnels, bridges and roads.

6. Though some practitioners are little more than fortune-tellers


with a compass, even the pragmatic ones indulge in some sort of prediction based on a mystical element. This can be traced to the ancient Chinese belief that earthly arrangements have some connection in heaven. Much to everyone’s surprise, the Feng Shui’s predictions about Hong Kong stock index were accurate to the last detail.

7. Feng Shui experts abhor structures with sharp angles which are like daggers pointed towards susceptible and vulnerable neighbours. The Bank of China built by an architect known for his severe style, had very unlucky sharp edges which cast negative darts to neighbours. The Hong Kong subsidiary of the BCCI was one affected by these darts, opine Feng Shui experts. Today Hong Kong’s citizens with all modern technology up their sleeves are still conservative. They wouldn’t allow a wrongly-positioned table or sharp edges to get in their way to prosperity.

(I). On the basis of your understanding of the passage,

answer the following questions by choosing the most appropriate option: (1x4=4 Marks) 1. Feng Shui is

a. a modern trend b. an ancient practice c. a stylish fad d. a superstitious belief

2. Feng Shui literally means a. wind and water b. sun and water c. mountain and water face


d. art with compass

3. Feng Shui is mainly used for a. choosing life partner b. choosing location of homes and offices c. deciding favourable days d. deciding favourable stars

4. Feng Shui’s predictions about Hong Kong stock index

a. were completely off the mark b. totally accurate c. partially correct d. were accurate by fluke

(II). Answer the following questions as briefly as possible:

(1x6=6 Marks) 5. What is the writer hinting at by the Chinese’s belief in Feng

Shui by the remark, ‘…few dare to function without it’? 6. Being believers in Feng Shui, which locations for towns are

avoided? Which locations do they prefer? 7. Why do you think the Chinese provided land on the mud

flat on River Pearl to the American and European merchants in Canton?

8. Why is Feng Shui so popular in Hong Kong? 9. How does a Feng Shui expert function? 10.How do Feng Shui experts view sharp angles?

(III). Pick out words from the passage which are similar in

meaning to the following (1x2=2 Marks) a. astute (Paragraph 5)


b. pragmatic (Paragraph 6)

Q.2. Read the following passage carefully: (10 Marks) 1. The other day I received an unusual and very gratifying gift; I

was presented half-a-dozen trees, which would be planted on my behalf. I had been invited to give a talk to an organisation. After such events, the speaker is usually given a token gift. Sometimes the gift is in the form of a pen, a book or something useful. Though these gifts are presented with the best of intentions, sooner or later, they are bound to gather dust in forgotten corners.

2. That is why I was pleasantly surprised to receive a scroll which

attested that, on a designated plantation established for the purpose, six trees would be added in my name, as a part of the ‘green’ movement being sponsored by the organisation.

3. In an increasingly environment-conscious world, the gift of a

living tree or plant makes for a perfect present. The tradition of giving and receiving gifts has lost its meaning and become a meaningless, commercial exercise. Apart from major festivals, a whole new calendar of celebratory events has been created like Mother’s Day, Father’s day, Teacher’s Day, Valentine’s Day, and with the aim of promoting the sale of non essential items.

4. However, the best planned gifts often go awry. How often

particularly during so called ‘festive seasons’ when the exchange of gifts reaches epidemic proportions, have you had the embarrassing experience of getting back the gift that you yourself had given to someone who, having no use for it and forgetting that it was you who had gifted it to begin with, had unwittingly


returned your own gift to you? Like the musical chairs, gifts only too often go round and round.

5. This is true not only at the individual but also at the level of states. Diplomatic protocol demands that when they travel abroad on goodwill missions, visiting dignitaries are given official gifts by their hosts, who in turn receive return gifts from their guests. Meant to reflect the culture and traditions of the reciprocating countries, such token presents are more often than not tacky and tasteless. The number of crudely-made miniature Taj Mahals that ‘sarkari’ India has pressed into the hands of reluctant foreign guests must fill large godowns across the globe.

6. How much more preferable is a living tree than kitschy model of

the Taj, possibly made of marble from an unauthorised quarry! The people receiving such green gifts wouldn’t of course physically be presented with saplings but would be given certificates attesting that trees had been planted on their behalf in a particular plantation, which the recipients could visit.

7. Next birthday or anniversary, give someone you love, a tree. One day, the two of you might sit together under its shade. Could any gift be better than that?

(I). On the basis of your understanding of the passage, answer the following questions by choosing the most appropriate option: (1x2=2 Marks) 1. The narrator regarded the gift that he received one

day as a. cumbersome


b. superficial c. wasteful d. unique and satisfying

2. The narrator feels that the tree as a gift

a. will not gather dust b. may not be planted by the one who receives it c. will not be recycled d. has indefinable worth

(II). Answer the following questions as briefly as possible:

(1x6=6 Marks) 3. What is a scroll? What did the scroll, which the writer

received, say? 4. Why are more and more occasions becoming known when

gifts are exchanged? 5. What diplomatic protocol is referred to by the writer? Does

it succeed in its objective? 6. How can the best planned gifts go awry? 7. What is the writer’s opinion about miniature Taj Mahals

being presented to foreigners? 8. What are the two reasons why the government needs to

stop gifting miniature Taj Mahals? 9. How should trees be gifted? 10.What suggestion does the writer offer to for gifting a loved

one?

(III). Find words from the passage which are similar in meaning to the following: (1x2=2 Marks) a. awry (Paragraph 4)


b. kitschy (Paragraph 6)

Q.3. Read the following passage carefully: (8 Marks) Millions of people are sleep-deprived. Though, the precise amount of accidents, ailments and lost productivity that can be related to sleep deprivation haven’t been recorded, research estimates a loss of over a billion dollars per annum. However, highly-trained, professional, motivated and well-paid one may be-all fade into insignificance when faced with a human physiological limitation. The nuclear accident at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island and the gas leak at Bhopal occurred at night when the workers were expected to remain alert long after their bed time. The problem of not getting enough sleep is more hazardous than people realise. Even when only one night’s sleep is disturbed people have problems responding to signals or remembering things. People tend to squeeze in as much as possible into a day. Sleep is always the silent victim. Fourteen percent of full-time employees work in rotating shifts which upsets their biological clocks. Tired commuters, including day and night workers invariably get involved in car accidents. Though most talk about the eight-hour beauty sleep, an average person gets only seven hours. There are some who need ten hours to feel refreshed, others need only five hours. The need and desire for sleep are regulated by two independent forces. One is the circadian pacemaker or biological clock-a brain mechanism trained by the cycles of darkness and daylight. A normally functioning biological clock, measured by cyclical drop in body temperature would leave one drowsy at mid afternoon and most


alert a few hours before bedtime. The homeostatic drive, the second force makes one sleepier the longer one remains awake. Some people try and make up for lost sleep on weekends but it doesn’t help entirely. A better technique is go to bed fifteen minutes early each week till one sleeps enough at night. Even short naps help. Remarkable benefits were observed from naps as short as 15 to 20 minutes. Short naps snatched before crucial moments, enhance performance, clear thinking and bring alertness in responses. Those workers who have no choice but to sleep during daytime, against their circadian rhythm can fool it by keeping their bedrooms dark and wearing goggles in mid morning while on their way back home. One must not carry one’s worries to bed. One should deal with them first by jotting down the problem and working out a solution. Avoid intake of caffeine after dinner. One shouldn’t go to bed hungry or too full. Have a glass of hot milk. Relax with soothing music or a good book till sleep lulls one into dreamland. a. On the basis of your reading of the above passage make notes

on it, using headings and sub-headings. Use recognisable abbreviations (wherever necessary-minimum 4) and a format you consider suitable. Also supply an appropriate title to it.
