13. Read the paragraph and answer the questions given below : 2 1=2

Water is the only resource for which there is no alternative.
Inefficient management of this important natural resource has caused a
situation of crisis in many parts of the world including India, therefore it
is very important that we conserve this unique natural gift to mankind.
Rain-water harvesting in urban areas can have manifold advantages.
Some of the reasons why rain-water harvesting can be adopted in cities
are to provide supplemental water for the city’s requirements; to increase
soil moisture levels for urban greenery; to increase the ground water table
through artificial recharge; to mitigate urban flooding and to improve the
quality of ground water. In urban areas of the developed world, at a
household level, harvested rain-water can be used for flushing toilets,
washing laundry, showering or bathing. It may however require some
treatment before it can be used for drinking.

(a) ________ is the only resource with no alternative.

(b) Inefficient management of this natural resource can cause _______ in
the world.

14. Read the passage and answer the questions given below : 6
The Sanskrit word yoga which is “yoke”, “to join”, “to unite”, or “to
attach” from the root yuj, already had a much more figurative sense,
where the yoking or harnessing of oxen or horses takes on broader
meaning such as “employment, use, application, performance”, “to put
something to some use”. In Hindu philosophy, the word yoga is used to
refer to one of the six orthodox (astika) schools of Hindu philosophy. Yoga
is a disciplined method utilized for attaining a goal. In the sense, the
physical postures of yoga are to alleviate health problems, reduce stress
and make the spine supple. Yoga is also used as a complete exercise
program and physical therapy routine. Many yoga practitioners have
reported musculoskeletal and mental health improvements, as well as
reduced symptoms of asthma in asthmatics. Regular yoga practice
increases brain GABA levels and has been shown to improve mood and
anxiety more than some other metabolically matched exercises, such as
walking. Certain health problems associated with yoga have been brought
to the attention of the general public. Yoga has been criticised for being
potentially dangerous and being a cause for a range of serious medical
conditions including thoracic outlet syndrome, degenerative arthritis of
the cervical spine, spinal injuries, retinal tears, damage to the common
fibular nerve, knee injuries and headaches are common ailments which
may result from yoga practice.
(a) The word yoga is used to refer to one of the _______ orthodox schools
of Hindu Philosophy. 1
(b) Write down two health problems associated with Yoga. 1
(c) What is Yoga ? 1
(d) Why is it called Yoga ? 2
(e) Write down two health improvements as a result of Yoga. 1

The main problem was creation of condition in Bangladesh which
would be conducive to the safe and speedy return of 11 million refuges
which had crossed our borders from East Bengal. During 1972, the cost of
feeding refugees would amount to £ 290 million as against the
international aid of about £ 190 million. On 5 th December, 1971 Sunday
Times, London reported “One result of India’s victory would be the
collapse of military rule and the triumph of democracy. It is no paradox
therefore, to see that India is fighting to bring freedom to all the people of
the sub-continent, who are in the eye of God, one people”. The East
Pakistan Rifles and East Bengal Regiment became the Mukti Fouj and
later the Mukti Bahini which was joined by thousands of young East
Begnali determind to sacrifice their lives for freedom. Government of
Bangladesh and Government of India unanimously decided to grant
recognition to the Gana Prajatantra Bangladesh. The father of the new
state became Sheikh Mujibur Rahman and Dhaka became the capital.
