SECTION A 15 marks
Reading Skills
1 Attempt any one from (A) and (B) given below:
Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow; 10x1 = 10
1. It was decided that I should study. Considering my character as a whole, and
especially my temperament, my father decided that the classical subjects studied
at the Lyceum were not suited to my natural talents. He thought that the
Realschule would suit me better. My obvious talent for drawing confirmed him in
that view; for in his opinion drawing was a subject too much neglected in the
Austrian Gymnasium.
2. Probably also the memory of the hard road which he himself had travelled
contributed to make him look upon classical studies as unpractical and
accordingly to set little value on them. At the back of his mind he had the idea
that his son should also become an official of the Government. Indeed he had
decided on that career for me. The difficulties through which he had to struggle in
making his own career led him to overestimate what he had achieved, because
this was exclusively the result of his own indefatigable industry and energy.
3. The characteristic pride of the self -made man urged him towards the idea
that his son should follow the same calling and if possible rise to a higher position
in it. Moreover, this idea, was strengthened by the consideration that the result
of his own life industry had placed him in a position to facilitate his son’s
advancement in the same career.
4. He was simply incapable of imagining that I might reject what had meant
everything in life to him. My father’s decision was simple, definite, clear and, in
his eyes, it was something taken for granted. A man of such a nature who had
become an autocrat by reason of his own hard struggle for existence, could not
think of allowing ‘inexperienced’ and irresponsible young fellow to choose their
own careers.
5. For the first time in my life - I was then eleven years old- I felt myself forced
into open opposition. No matter how hard and determined my father might be
about putting his own plans and opinions into action, his son was no less
obstinate in refusing to accept ideas on which he set little or no value. I would not
become a State Official, not on any account. It nauseated me to think that one

(B) Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow;
1. The teaching of universal history in what are called the middle schools is very
unsatisfactory. Few teachers realize that the purpose of teaching history is not the
memorizing of some dates and facts, that the student is not interested in knowing the
exact date of a battle or the birthday of some marshal or other, and not at all- or at
least only very insignificantly – interested in knowing when the crown of his fathers was
placed on the brow of some monarch. These are certainly not looked upon as
important matters.
2. To study history means to search for and discover the forces that are the causes of
those results which appear before our eyes as historical events. The art of reading and
studying consists in remembering the essentials and forgetting what is not essential.
3. Probably, my whole future life was determined by the fact that I had a professor of
history who understood, as few others understand, how to make this viewpoint prevail

a a
1. Effective speaking depends on effective listening. It takes energy to concentrate on
hearing and concentrate on understanding what has been heard. Incompetent listeners
fail in a number of ways. First they may drift. Their attention may drift from what the
speaker is saying. Second, they may counter. They find counter arguments to whatever
speaker may be saying. Third, they compete. Then , they filter. They exclude from their
understanding those parts of the message which do not readily fit with their own frame

of reference. Finally , theyco react. They let personal feeling about the speaker or sthe
e m

subject override theesignificance of the message which is being sent.

2. What can a listener is the
art of concentration. If a listener positively wishes to concentrate on receiving a
message, his chances of success are high. It may need determination. Some speakers
are difficult to follow, either because of voice problems , or because of the form in
which they send the message. There is then a particular need for the determination of a
listener to concentrate on what is being said.
m
3. Concentration is helped by alertness. Mental . coalertness is helped by physical
e m also positioning of the body, the limbs
as to their concentration if they hold the
alertness. It is not simply physical fitness, but
and the head. Some people also find g itlhelpful
head slightly to one side. One usefulaway for achieving this is intensive note taking, by
trying to capture the critical headings and sub- headings the speaker is referring to.
4. Note- taking has been recommended as an aid to the listener. It also helps the
speaker. It gives him confidence when he sees the listeners are sufficiently interested
to take notes; the patterns of eye contact when the note-taker looks up can be very
positive; and the speaker’s timing is added – he can see a note-takercoismwriting hard and

5.sPosture too is important. Consider the impact made byaagless competent listener who
ag pushes his chair backwards and slouches. An upright posture helps a listener’s
concentration. At the same time, it is seen by the speaker to be a positive figure among
his listeners. Effective listening skills have an impact on both the listener and the
speaker.

stretch of water. Ancient Hindu and Buddhist cosmology pinpoints Mansarovar as the
source of great Indian rivers: the Indus, the Ganges, the Sutlej and the Brahmaputra.
