1 ARMY PUBLIC SCHOOL KOTA Work Sheet for ANNUAL EXAMINATION ( ) ENGLISH SECTION A: READING Q.1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. One serious problem we all face is anger. The external problems in life come and go and are usually temporary. But anger is an internal problem which remains with us all time till we die. Anger has many negative consequences. Not only does the angry person feel pain, but victim of anger also suffers pain. And this pain is not momentary; it lingers for a long time, immobilizes us and we are not able to function for long stretches of time. Due to anger hatred develops and hatred can break even close relationships. Once a relationship is broken it is almost impossible to patch up. In anger we always speak and behave thoughtlessly without discrimination and often we repent for our angry words and behavior later. Also anger disturbs a peaceful atmosphere and so obstructs spiritual growth. So anger is a powerful enemy within us. Anger is a sign of weakness. It reflects the mind s incapacity to face difficult situations. If I want to tackle anger first I must acknowledge this problem and accept my weakness. I have been justifying my anger by blaming others, their behavior and their words. When I justify my weakness I m closing the door of improvement and growing pout of this weakness. But once I admit my weakness, I can gradually strengthen my mind, my will power, the power of auto suggestion. I look at myself as a strong person who can face situations without being disturbed. I look at myself as a person with patience and readiness to forgive. Patience is the medicine for anger. I will offer auto-suggestion to myself I m strong. I ll not be irritated by situations I ll not be provoked by people. I have no control over people s behaviour but I have control over y behaviour I can choose to be calm. I am ever calm. a. What do you think about the external problems in life? Give examples. b. Once a relationship is broken it is almost impossible to patch up. Explain this. c. How is anger a powerful enemy within us? d. If a person blames others, what does it reflect about his character?

2 e. Which word in the passage means self - suggestion? f. Give the noun form of admit. g. Give synonym for discrimination. h. Give the antonym for weakness. Q.2. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. How does television affect our lives? It can be very helpful to people who carefully choose the shows that they watch. Television can increase our knowledge of the outside world; there are high quality programmes that help us understand many fields of study, science, medicine, arts and so on. Moreover television benefits very old people, who can t often leave the house as well as patients in hospitals. It also offers non-native speakers the advantage of daily informal language practice. They can increase their vocabulary and practice listening. On the other hand, there are several serious disadvantages of television. Of course it provides us with a pleasant way to relax and spend our free time, but in some countries, people watch the boob tube for an average of 6 hours or more a day. Many children stare at a television screen for more hours each day than they do anything else, including sleeping and studying. It is clear that the tube has a powerful influence on their lives and that its influence is often negative. Recent studies show that after only thirty seconds of television a person s brain relaxes the same way that it does just before the person falls asleep. Another effect of television on the human brain is that it seems to cause poor concentration. Children who watch a lot of television can often concentrate on a subject for only 15 or 20 minutes. They can pay attention only for the amount of time between commercials. Another advantage is that television often causes people to become dissatisfied with their own lives. The most negative effect of the boob tube might be people s addiction to it. People often feel a strange and powerful need to watch television even when they don t enjoy it. Addiction to a television screen is similar to drug or alcohol addiction. People often never believe they are addicted. (a) How can television be helpful to people? (b) Name 2 kinds of people who are really benefited by television. (c) How do high quality programmes help us? (d) What happens to children who watch TV for long time? (e) How are listening skills of the non natives helped by watching TV? (f) What do the recent studies show about the impact of TV? (g) The author makes a comparison between watching TV and something else. Explain. (h) What is the most negative effect of TV?
