Read the passage given below: 12<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>(1) Suspense was over when my high school results finally came out. But I was upset. I hadn\u2019t done as well as I had expected. My father tried to console me. \u201cWhy are you worried? You have done very well my dear.\u201d \u201cNo, I haven\u2019t, Baba,\u201d I protested, controlling my tears, and wondering if I had disappointed him. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t really matter,\u201d he assured me. \u201cDo you know what I got when I finished high school ?\u201d I looked into Baba\u2019s face and waited for the answer to his own question. \u201cYou know,\u201d he told me. \u201cI\u2019ve never told you this.<\/p>\n<p>I got just a third division. But, look at me, I\u2019ve done quite well.\u201d Baba got a third division! I was almost in shock, but the thought of my having done a lot better than that made me realize that I had no reason to complain. I certainly felt better! \u201cEverything is under control!\u201d said Baba, smiling. That was his favorite phrase.<\/p>\n<p>Posted in Kolkata, my father was then a senior official in the Indian Railway Service and an expert in goods traffic operations. He was soon to become a director with the Railway Board. By the time he retired in 1981, he was general manager of the Central Railways. By the time Baba passed away in November 2000, his name had found place in several hearts as well. He was open, easy to know, and full of life. We were extremely close, but I had so much more to learn about him from many things I came to know after his death.<\/p>\n<p>(2) In September 2000, he was in hospital for treatment of cancer and given just two months to live. When he found out, his reaction was an extremely rational one. He asked me to fetch files from his cupboard so that he could explain the details of my mother\u2019s pension. He also dictated his will from his hospital bed. \u201cEverything is under control !\u201d After Baba\u2019s death, Satish, our old family retainer, was inconsolable. We tried to cheer him up. \u201cYour Baba had scolded me only once in all these years !\u201d he cried. Satish pointed to the watch on his left hand. \u201cI had been coming late for work and everyone in the family was complaining about it,\u201d said Satish. \u201cThen, one day, your Baba gave me this watch and told me, \u2018now that you have a watch, you can\u2019t be late\u2019.\u201d That was the scolding Satish received.<\/p>\n<p>On the fourth day after Baba\u2019s death, my sister and I had to perform a ceremony. Since several relatives were expected, we decided to order lunch from a caterer in our locality, reputed for his home cooked food. But, when we went to pay the owner, we got a surprise. He refused to accept any money! \u201cWhen I wanted to start my catering business, it was your father who lent me money,\u201d he told us. It seems Baba never asked for it back. Now, after four or five years, the caterer wanted to repay that debt. Of course, we made him accept the full payment for the fine food and service. \u2018It was Baba\u2019s gift and it ought to remain so,\u201d I told him.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Some days later, there was yet another piece of information as we were preparing for the main ceremony. Vikram, my brother drove me to the local market. On recognizing our car, the parking assistant, in his twenties, came running towards us and asked why he had not seen its owner for long. We had to break the news to him and to our utter surprise, he started crying. We were really surprised by this reaction from a stranger \u2013 until the man told us that Baba used to pay his daughter\u2019s school fees and buy her books.<\/p>\n<p>It seems it was on my father\u2019s advice that he\u2019d even started sending the child to school. More than three years after Baba\u2019s death, as we were looking into Baba\u2019s personal things, we came across an old file with Baba\u2019s certificates and I found among them, his high school diploma from 1937, the one he\u2019d told me about 30 years earlier, about the third division that had made no difference in his life or career. It had made me see beyond mere marks and first classes as the main road to success. But there was one more fact. Baba had actually got a first division, a rare achievement in his day. Today, years after his passing, when I think of Baba, I see a man who was able to sympathise with others so easily and touch their lives in such a special way.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"11_On_the_basis_of_your_understanding_of_the_passage_answer_the_following_questions_by_choosing_the_most_appropriate_options_1%C3%974_4\"><\/span><strong>1.1 On the basis of your understanding of the passage answer the following questions by choosing the most appropriate options. 1\u00d74 = 4<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>(a) Why was the narrator in tears when her school results came out?<\/p>\n<p>(i) She did better than she expected.<br \/>\n(ii) She did not do as expected.<br \/>\n(iii) Her Baba had not done well.<br \/>\n(iv) Her Baba had done better than her.<\/p>\n<p>(b) On knowing the result, how did the narrator\u2019s father react?<\/p>\n<p>(i) He scolded her.<br \/>\n(ii) He beat her.<br \/>\n(iii) He consoled her.<br \/>\n(iv) He made fun of her.<\/p>\n<p>(c) Why did the narrator say that she had nothing to complain?<\/p>\n<p>(i) She had done better than her father.<br \/>\n(ii) She had done as well as her father.<br \/>\n(iii) She had topped in her school.<br \/>\n(iv) She had not worked hard at all.<\/p>\n<p>(d) Choose the option that is not correct.<\/p>\n<p>(i) Baba was a senior official in the Indian Railway Service.<br \/>\n(ii) Baba was to become a director with the Railway Board.<br \/>\n(iii) Baba was the general manager of the Central Railways.<br \/>\n(iv) Baba had got a third division in high school<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> (a) (ii) She did not do as expected.<\/p>\n<p>(b) (iii) He consoled her.<\/p>\n<p>(c) (i) She had done better than her father.<\/p>\n<p>(d) (iv) Baba had got a third division in high school.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"12_Answer_the_following_1%C3%976_6\"><\/span><strong>1.2 Answer the following: 1\u00d76 = 6<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>(a) Why did the narrator\u2019s sick father want her to fetch files from his cupboard?<\/p>\n<p>(b) Why did Baba buy Satish a watch?<\/p>\n<p>(c) Why did the caterer not want to take money from the narrator?<\/p>\n<p>(d) Why were the narrator and her brother surprised on meeting the parking assistant?<\/p>\n<p>(e) Today years after his passing away what has the narrator realized about her Baba?<\/p>\n<p>(f) What was the story that Baba had invented on the day the narrator\u2019s results were published?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> (a) \u2013 so that he could explain details of mother\u2019s pension \/ he had cancer with 2 months to live<\/p>\n<p>(b) \u2013 so that he was not late for work<\/p>\n<p>(c) \u2013 father had lent him money to start his catering business \/ felt grateful to the narrator for what Baba had done for him<\/p>\n<p>(d) \u2013 he started crying on learning of the father\u2019s death \/ came to know that father had been helping his daughter by paying for her school fee and books<\/p>\n<p>(e) \u2013 he had been a sympathetic man \/ had been able to touch people\u2019s lives in a special way<\/p>\n<p>(f) \u2013 that he had got a third division in high school<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"13_Find_words_from_the_passage_that_mean_the_same_as_the_following_1%C3%972_2\"><\/span><strong>1.3 Find words from the passage that mean the same as the following: 1\u00d72 = 2<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>(i) tension\/anxiety (para 1)<\/p>\n<p>(ii) servant (para 2)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> (i) suspense \/ upset<\/p>\n<p>(ii) retainer<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Read_the_passage_given_below_and_answer_the_questions_that_follow_10\"><\/span><strong>2.

He is sitting on his feet, hugging his knees to keep himself warm in the biting cold, so weakened and lifeless as if he had been dead for days without anyone noticing.<\/p>\n<p>(2) Who would after all notice a rickshaw puller, to check whether he is breathing or not? Yet when the same rickshaw puller goes about his work pulling his rickshaw like a horse, he becomes the most noticed man in Calcutta. He makes a great subject for photographers, writers and film-makers. He is the symbol of poor Calcutta. Many a famous actor has pulled the rickshaw in films set in the city.<\/p>\n<p>(3) Calcutta is said to have about 6000 rickshaw pullers running on its roads, running mostly in its old neighbourhoods. They have something in common apart from their poverty. All of them come from the country side. All of them wear the lungi to work, perhaps for better movement. Almost all of them are elderly; I am yet to see a young man hand pulling a rickshaw. It can be a sad sight to watch a man almost as old as your father struggling his way through the roads dressed only in a vest and a lungi and often barefoot.<\/p>\n<p>(4) Mahadeo Yadav, the rickshaw puller is in his seventies and has been pulling the same rickshaw in and around Bowbazaar for fifty years. For him, fifty years, half a century is not an achievement, but merely the time that has passed ever since he came to Calcutta to earn a living.<\/p>\n<p>(5) He lives all alone in Calcutta, in a room in a nearby lane, paying a monthly rent of fifty rupees. He is out with his rickshaw between three in the afternoon and ten at night, sometimes earning sixty or seventy rupees a day and sometimes nothing.<\/p>\n<p>Every month without fail he sends ` 300 to his wife back home, and once every year visits her. \u201cI will pull the rickshaw as long as I can\u201d, he says, \u201cthis is my only source of livelihood. These days I tire easily. Sometimes my feet hurt and sometimes my back. But do I have a choice?\u201d He answers all my questions without looking at me even once, but continued to stare ahead blankly, his arms folded around his knees. I take a good look at his rickshaw: the two \u2013 the rickshaw and the rickshaw puller \u2013 make quite a pair.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"21_Choose_the_correct_alternatives_from_the_options_given_below_1%C3%972_2\"><\/span><strong>2.1 Choose the correct alternatives from the options given below: 1\u00d72 = 2<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>(a) A rickshaw puller is noticed only when he<\/p>\n<p>(i) acts in a film.<br \/>\n(ii) becomes a subject for photographers.<br \/>\n(iii) sits all alone.<br \/>\n(iv) is old and tired.<\/p>\n<p>(b) Pick out the statement which is not true.<\/p>\n<p>(i) Most rickshaw pullers are old.<br \/>\n(ii) The rickshaw pullers earn very little.<br \/>\n(iii) Many renowned actors are rickshaw pullers.<br \/>\n(iv) They are neglected by people.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> (a) (ii) becomes a subject for photographers.<\/p>\n<p>(b) (iii) Many renowned actors are rickshaw pullers.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"22_Answer_the_following_questions_1%C3%976_6\"><\/span><strong>2.2 Answer the following questions: 1\u00d76 = 6<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>(a) Why does Yadav \u201cstare ahead blankly\u201d?<\/p>\n<p>(b) Why are rickshaw pullers known as the icons of poor Calcutta?<\/p>\n<p>(c) Which instance tells you that Yadav loved his family?<\/p>\n<p>(d) Where does Yadav stay?<\/p>\n<p>(e) What comparison does the writer draw between the rickshaw and its puller?<\/p>\n<p>(f) What do the rickshaw pullers have in common?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> (a) \u2013 he is feeling sad \/ has no choice \/ is in pain \/ back hurts \/ rickshaw pulling only source of livelihood \/ feeling tired \/ future bleak \/ steeped in poverty<\/p>\n<p>(b) \u2013 their poverty represents the poor of Calcutta \/ he makes a great subject for photographers, writers and film-makers<\/p>\n<p>(c) \u2013 visited home once a year \/ sends Rs 300\/- per month<\/p>\n<p>(d) \u2013 in a room \/ in a nearby lane \/ Calcutta<\/p>\n<p>(e) \u2013 rickshaw puller compared to horse with the rickshaw compared to a carriage\/ the make quite a pair \/ both are old and withered<\/p>\n<p>(f) \u2013 all hail from the countryside \/ all wear lungi \/ almost all are elderly \/ often barefoot \/ poor<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"23_Pick_out_words_from_the_passage_that_mean_the_following_1%C3%972_2\"><\/span><strong>2.3 Pick out words from the passage that mean the following: 1\u00d72 = 2<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>(a) well-known (para 2)<\/p>\n<p>(b) income (para 5)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ans.<\/strong> (a) famous \/ most noticed<\/p>\n<p>(b) livelihood \/ earning<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Read_the_passage_given_below_and_answer_the_questions_that_follow_8\"><\/span><strong>3. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow: 8<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Although stupidity is commonly defined as \u2018a lack of normal intelligence\u2019, stupid behaviour is not the behaviour of a person lacking in intelligence but the behaviour of a person not using good judgement or sense. In fact, stupidity comes from the Latin word that means \u2018senseless\u2019. Therefore, stupidity can be defined as the behaviour of a person of normal intelligence who acts in a particular situation as if he or she isn\u2019t very bright. Stupidity exists at three levels of seriousness.<\/p>\n<p>First is the simple, relatively harmless level. Behaviour at this level is often amusing. It is humorous when someone places the food from a fast food restaurant on the roof of the car while unlocking the door and then drives away with the food still on the roof. We call this absent-minded. The person\u2019s good sense or intelligence was temporarily absent. At this level, other than passing inconvenience or embarrassment, no one is injured by the stupid behaviour.<\/p>\n<p>The next type-serious stupidity-is more dangerous. Practical jokes such as putting sugar in the salt shakers are at this level. The intention is humorous, but there is a chance of harm. Irresponsible advice given to others is also serious stupidity. An example is the person who plays psychiatrist on the basis of an introductory psychology course or doing a TV program on psychiatry. The intention may be to help, but if the victim really needs psychiatric help an amateur will only worsen the situation.<\/p>\n<p>Even worse is the third kind of stupidity. Kind people, who would never injure another living being, stupidly throw away a box of six-week-old kittens along a country road. Lacking the heart to kill the poor things, they sentence them to almost certain death from wild animals, infections, exposure or the wheels of a passing vehicle. Yet they are able to tell themselves that they will find nice homes\u2019 or \u2018animals can get along in the wild\u2019. Another example of this kind of stupidity is the successful local businessman who tries to have as many office affairs as he can get away with.<\/p>\n<p>He risks the loss of his business and his home. He fails to see that what he is doing is wrong. His is the true moral stupidity of a person not willing to think about the results of his actions or take responsibility for them. The common defence of a person guilty of stupidity is \u2013 \u2018But I didn\u2019t think\u2026.. \u2018This, however, is not a proper excuse, especially when serious or harmful stupidity is involved.<\/p>\n<p>(a) On the basis of your reading of the above passage, make notes on it using headings and sub-headings.
