Passage No. – 1

Disability refers to any kind of physical or mental incapacity that limits a person‟s ability to work. Yet it is seldom that we have thanked God for the gift of Good health and well being. The smallest actions like seeing the sunrise, brushing our teeth, popping peanuts into your mouth come so naturally and effortlessly, and Yet we are never satisfied, always discontented. It is not so for the disabled. For them it requires immense concentration, effort, will power, energy and a lot of time. Despite this, it could be a long way of perfection.
It takes great courage and determination to cope with disability. We can make life easier for them by becoming more sensitive to their handicap, their needs and their problems.
Feeling of pity or under sympathy will only shake their confidence. Give them encouragement, facilities and
resources, and then watch them as they learn, earn, play, work and even start their families.
Very often we find that a person lacking in one faculty is gifted in some other way. That‟s nature‟s way of
maintaining balance. Some of the most beautiful greeting cards are made by disabled children, using one hand, one foot or even mouth. Nothing stops them from using their talent, intelligence and their knowledge.

Passage No. – 2

Once a man saw three masons along with some labourers were constructing a temple. He observed the masons for some days and found that though the three of them were doing the same kind of work, there was a marked difference in their approach to their job.
He saw that the first mason reported for his work late, did his work half-heartedly and sluggishly enjoyed longer respite, frequently checked the time on his wrist-watch and left the work before time.
The second mason was very punctual in arriving and leaving, and did his work methodically and conscientiously. The third mason, however, would come before time, took little rest in the interval and often worked over-time.
The man naturally got curious and wanted to know the three masons‟ outlook own their work. He asked them what they were doing. The first mason tapped his protruding belly with his hand and said, I am earning fuel for this belly. The second said „I am constructing a building. Third looked at the stately edifice and said “I am building the
house of God”.

1. The first mason‟s approach to work was that of……………..

a) Earn livelihood
b) Just to spend time c) Earn only money d) Waste time

2. The second mason was ………………. In his approach.

a) Structured
b) Professional
c) Unmethodical d) Punctual
3. The third mason approached his work with. a) Zest

Passage No. – 3

Just as it is vital for parents to live their own lives as fully is possible and to deepen their understanding of themselves to the utmost, so it is important for teachers and educators to do the same. When children go to school their teachers become, during school hours, substitutes for their parents. The children transfer to their teacher some of the feelings they have for their parents and are influenced in their turn by the personalities of the teachers. This mutual relationship is of more importance than any teaching method, and a child‟s ability to learn is continually hampered if the relationship is unsatisfactory. Again, if teacher really want to be educators, to help children to develop into satisfactory men and women, and not simply to stuff them knowledge, they will only be really successful if they themselves have sound personalities. No amount of preaching, however well done, no principles however sound, no clever technique of mechanical aids can replace the influence of a well – developed personality.

1. The teacher will be real educators by _

a) Adopting advanced teaching methods b) Stuffing children with knowledge
c) Developing sound personality of their own d) Through good teaching skills

2. The central idea of the passage is_

a) Teacher should develop sound personalities of their own to be able to influence the children b) Informal education is better than formal education
c) There should be research done in education
d) Parent should have good interpersonal relations with teachers
3. The writer recommends to the teachers to deepen their understanding of themselves on the assumption that. a) Will earn them a name of nation-builder
b) It is their duty

d) Helps to build well developed personality
4. The teachers and educators are important to children because a) Without teachers they would remain ignorant
b) They help them to get jobs
