Dear Students / Teachers, The objective of the Shekhawati Mission 100 is to provide the students with, the study material ,they need to score high marks in Board exams. The booklet, compiled by the team of the Shekhawati Mission 100 consists of the relevant study, material and sample papers meant for Secondary School Exam 2022 conducted by, Rajasthan Board of Secondary School Examination, Ajmer., It has been the endeavour of the team to present the study material in lucid, language. Hence the booklet will prove quite beneficial to the duo of the teacher and, the taught. Making use of the mock papers/ sample papers and previous years’ solved, papers is indeed a good idea and proves to be fruitful. Solving them will certainly, help the students in writing skills, formats, writing speed etc., The subject matter of this booklet is so comprehensive and easy to grab that, fulfills the requirements of all types of learners. We have arranged and framed the, topic wise questions with answers., Both the teachers and students are advised to practice with the sample papers, and also to go through the marking schemes released by the Board for this purpose., The students should know how their answers would be evaluated in board exams., They should always remember that mugging up is only a temporary solution. In the, long run, it proves to be a futile exercise. Instead of mugging things up, why not try to, understand the basics and fundamentals of the language? For example, by improving vocabulary and Grammar, one will be able to easily frame sentences. This will, help one write good essays and answers on their own., Like ARJUNA you should focus at your aim and no distraction should, deviate you from achieving your milestone., "Heights by the great man reached and kept, were not attained by sudden flight,, But while their companions slept,, They were toiling upwards in the night.", We will be extremely obliged to the students and the teachers who will extend, their co-operation by sending their valuable criticism, suggestion and observation, that would be duly incorporated ., Best of Luck !, From, Narendra Chahar, Jai SIngh Shekhawat, Ummed Singh

It is now an urban sprawl, it’s development model skewed in, favour of motorised traffic and commercial capitalization. This has snatched play fields from kids with vehicles both, stationary and on the move occupying every inch of space available, the roads and even lanes and by lanes are out of, bounds for the little ones unlike in American and European cities, there are few public spaces where one can hang out., No wonder, our children spend a lot of time indoors, glued to the T.V., P.C. or mobile screen. It’s time, urban planning, experts say, ‘to reconsider Delhi’s growth with the welfare of it’s children in mind.’, Supreme Court Judge Kurian Joseph expressed his anguish at the shrinking playing space for children in Delhi. The, condition of the parks in the city, he said in the letter, was a “serious violation of human rights of children” as it was, “their right in their tender times to have a decent environment to play and frolic around.”, Kuldeep Singh, an architect and urban planner, who worked with DDA during 1956-57 to bring out Delhi’s first master, Sponsored by AAYAAM CAREER ACADEMY, Sikar (Raj,)

7, , Shekhawati Mission -100, , plan, explained how initially children’s needs were the town planner’s priority. “Space standards were set very, rationally and in every neighbourhood, a huge open space was reserved for children which we called ‘tot-lots’.”, “This was the place where we thought children would get a space to play and mingle with each other and we kept it, away from roads,” recalled Singh. However due to administrative reasons, the idea of ‘tot-lots’ had to be dropped and, regrettably was never entertained again., “Over the years, circumstances have changed and people are reluctant to let their children go out without some kind of, security, as a result of which the children are now suffering” says Mr. Singh. Before it’s too late, Mr. Singh hopes the, few open spaces for kids are restored and protected from vehicles looking for parking lots. Another urban planning, expert says the first rectification Delhi’s development model needs to carry out is to ensure mobility of children., (i), What type of city Delhi grown into ?, 2, (ii), What is expressed by Kurian Joseph about Delhi ?, 2, (iii), What does Kuldeep Singh say as an urban planner ?, 2, (iv), What are tot-lots ?, 2, (v), Find the similar word for ‘correct’ and antonym for ‘separate’ from the passage., 2, Q-5. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :While there is no denying that the world loves a winner, it is important that you recognise the signs of stress in your, behaviour and be healthy enough to enjoy your success. Stress can strike anytime, in a fashion that may leave you, unaware of it’s presence in your life. While a certain amount of pressure is necessary for performance, it is important, to be able to recognise your individual threshold for instance there are some individuals who accept competition in a, healthy fashion. There are others who collapse into weeping wrecks before an exam or on comparing mark sheets and, finding that their friend has scored better. It is a body reaction to any demands or changes in its internal and external, environment. Whenever there is a change in the external environment such as temperature pollutants, humidity and, working conditions, it leads to stress. In these days of competition when a person makes up his mind to surpass what, has been achieved by others leading to an imbalance between demands and resources, it causes psycho-social stress., It is a part and parcel of everyday life., Stress has a different meaning depending on the stage of life you are in. The loss of a toy or a reprimand from the, parents might create a stress shock in a child. An adolescent who fails an examination may feel as if everything has, been lost and life has no further meaning. In an adult, the loss of his or her companion, job or professional failure may, appear as if there is nothing more to be achieved., Such signs appear in the attitude and behaviour of the individual as muscle tension in various parts of the body,, palpitation and high blood pressure, indigestion, hyperacidity and ultimately in self destructive behaviour such as eating, and drinking too much, smoking excessively, relying on tranquilisers, trembling, shaking, nervous blinking, dryness of, throat and mouth and difficulty in swallowing., (i), What is stress ? 1, (ii), What important thing should be recognised ? 1, (iii), What signs appear in a stressed person ? 1, (iv), What factors lead to stress ? 1, (v), What is psycho-social stress ? 1, , T, , I, , A 0, W 10, A, H N, K O, E, I, H SS, S, I, M, SECTION – C, , Write the answers of the following in about 20 words :Q-6.

Shekhawati Mission -100, be on the platform in good time for a train and still to see it, go off without you. Such an experience befell a certain, young girl the first time she was travelling alone., She entered the station twenty minutes before the train, was due, since her parents had impressed upon her that it, would be unforgivable to miss it and cause the friends, with, whom she was going to stay, to make two journeys to meet, her. She gave her luggage to a porter and showed him her, ticket. To her horror, he said that she was two hours too, soon. She felt in her handbag for the piece of paper on, which her father had written own all the details of the journey and gave it to the porter. He agreed that a train did, come into the details of the journey and gave it to the porter., He agreed that a train did come into the station at the time, on the paper and that it did stop, but only to take on water,, not passengers. The girl asked to see a timetable, feeling, sure that her father could not have made such a mistake., The porter went to fetch one and arrived back with the station master, who produced it with a flourish and pointed out, a microscopic 'o' beside the time of the arrival of the train at, his station. This little 'o' indicated that the train only stopped, for water. Just at that moment the train came into the station. The girl, tears streaming down her face, begged to be, allowed to slip into the guard's van. But the station master, was adamant : rules could not be broken. And she had to, watch that train disappear towards her destination while she, was left behind., 1. Why is punctuality necessary in a civilized society?, 2. What are the dangers of leaving the bare minimum, of time for appointments ?, 3. The over - punctual can be as much a trial to others as, the unpunctual. Why?, 4. Why did the author's family ask some guests to come, half an hour later than others ?, 5. Why, according to the author, is it better to wait on the, platform before the train arrives?, Answers :, 1. A. Punctuality is necessary in civilized society because without it nothing could ever be brought to conclusion. and everything would be in a state of chaos., 2. Such people are often reproached for unpunctuality., 3. The guest who arrives too early causes as much embarrassment for the host as the one who arrives too, late., 4. These guests were in the habit of arriving too early, and thus proved a great nuisance for the hosts. So they, were asked to come half an hour later than others, so, that they would be just in time for the party., 5. It saves one from the embarrassing situation of missing the train., Passage - 2, We want purity - pure food, pure water pure air. We, long for pure surroundings. We yearn for pure heart and, pure love. We prefer pure environment and pure society., We are fond of purity because purity promotes health. Impurities are injurious to health. Purity provides peace of, mind. Impurities impair the mind both for bodily health and, mental health, we need purity. We do require environmental purity for overall health., Purity of body is physical health. Purity of speech is, unsullied truth. Purity of heart is unselfish love. Purity of, , 47, thought is righteous reason. Purity of mind is wholesome, peace. Purity of action is sincere and unselfish service. Purity of society is harmonious unity. Purity of environment is, soul-elevating serenity., In the Mahabharata, there is an interesting episode to, illustrate the nature of purity. The Pandavas and Kauravas, were Drona's disciples. They were once summoned by the, preceptor Drona for a test. The eldest of the Pandavas,, Yudhishthira, was asked to bring one bad person from the, society. The eldest of the Kauravas, Duryodhana was asked, to fetch one good person from the same society in, Hasthinapure. After a through search, both the cousins returned empty handed. The pure minded Yudhishthira found, everyone to be pious and pure. The impure mind of, Duryodhana found everyone to be evil and impure. As is the, mind, so is the vision., Purity of mind makes our vision,, words and deeds pure., It has also the power to purify people. Evil has no place in, the presence of purity. Nor can it face purity, as darkness, cannot face the sun. It only gets changed into purity. Fools, who come to scoff remain to pray in the presence of purity., Villains who come to harm stand in adoration in the presence, of purity. Murderers become votaries of peace in the presence of purity., Pavaharibaba was a saint. He was pure and pious. He, lived a very simple life. One day, when he was a sleep a thief, entered his dwelling place and took away the vessel containing food. The saint woke up and saw the running thief . Immediately he picked up the remaining two vessels containing, boiled vegetables and curd and ran after him. The thief, stopped and the saint approached him with all purity of love, and said, "Child, the food is insufficient for you. You may, have this also. Please sit and at without any hurry. "The thief, was wonder - struck by the affectionate words of the pure, soul. There was a change in him. He prostrated himself before the saint. Without being pure at heart if anybody imitates the saint, the result would be different. The thief might, only give a blow and take away the vessels. The test of, genuine purity is in its metamorphosing ability., 1. Why do we prefer purity?, 2. What are the various types of purity?, 3. Why could Yudhishthira not find a bad person?, 4. What does purity of mind do?, 5. What was the reaction of the words of the saint?, Answers :, 1. We prefer purity because it promotes health while impurities are injurious to health., 2. There are various types of purity; as purity of body, purity of speech, purity of heart, purity of thought, purity of, mind and purity of action etc., 3. Yudhishthira couldn't find a bad person because he found, everyone to be pious and pure as his own heart was., 4. Purity of mind makes our vision, words, and deeds pure., It has also the power to purify people., 5. The thief was deeply influenced by the words of the, saint and he prostrated himself before him., Passage - 3, Water is the basis of life.

48, , Shekhawati Mission -100, course, necessary for animal life, while moisture in the soil, is equally imperative for the life and growth of plants and, trees though the quantity necessarily varies enormously with, the species. The conservation and utilization of water is, thus fundamental for human welfare. Apart from artesian, water, the ultimate source in all cases is rain or snowfall., Much of Indian agriculture depends on seasonal rainfall, and is there fore, very sensitive to any failure or irregularity, of the same. The problems of soil erosion and inadequate, or irregular rainfall are closely connected with each other., It is clear that the adoption of techniques preventing soil, erosion would also help conserve and keep water where it, is wanted, in other words on and the soil, and such techniques therefore, serve a double purpose. It is evident, however, that in a country having only seasonal rainfall, an immense quantity of rain water must necessarily run off the, ground. The collection and utilization of this water is therefore, of vital importance. Much of it flows down into the, streams and rivers and ultimately finds its way to the sea., Incredibly large quantities of the precious fluid are thus lost, to the country., The harnessing of our rivers, the waters of which now, mostly run to waste, is a great national problem which must, be considered and dealt with on national lines. Vast areas of, land which at present are mere scrub jungles could be turned, into fertile and prosperous country by courageous and well planned action., Closely connected with the conservation of water supplies is the problem of afforestation. The systematic planting, of suitable trees in every possible or even in impossible areas, and the development of what one can call civilized forests, as distinguished from wild and untamed jungles, is one, of the most urgent needs of India. Such plantations would, directly and indirectly prove a source of untold wealth to the, country. They would check the soil erosion and conserve the, rainfall of the country from flowing away to waste, and would, provide the necessary supplies of cheap fuel, and thus, render unnecessary the watchful conversion of from yard manure into a form of fuel., The measures necessary to control the movement of, water and conserve the supplies if it can also serve subsidiary purposes of value to the life of the countryside. By far, the cheapest form of internal transport in a country is by, boats and barges through canals and rivers., 1. How is water important for us?, 2. What is the ultimate source of water?, 3. What is the characteristic of Indian agriculture?, 4. What are our main problems?, 5. What is the cheapest form of internal transport in a, country?, Answers :, 1. No, physiological activity is possible without water. It, is necessary for animals and vegetation too., 2. Rain or snowfall is the ultimate source of water., 3. Indian agriculture is mainly dependent on seasonal rainfall and therefore, it is very sensitive to any failure or, irregularity of the same., 4. Overflowing water of rivers which mostly runs to waste,, and lack of afforestation are our main problems., 5. The cheapest form of internal transport in a country is, by boats and barges through canals and rivers., , Passage - 4, The test of a great book is whether we want to read it, only once or more than once. Any really great book we want, to read the second time even more than we wanted to read it, the first time ; and every additional time that we read it we, find new meanings and new beauties in it. A book that a, person of education and good taste does not care to read, more than once is very probably not worth much. But we, cannot consider the judgment of a single individual infallible., The opinion that makes a book great must be the opinion of, many. For even the greatest critics are apt to have certain, dullness. Carlyle, for example, could not endure Browning ;, Byron could not endure some of the greatest of English poets. A man must be many - sided to utter a trustworthy estimate of many books. We may doubt the judgment of the, single critic at times. But there is no doubt possible in regard, to the judgement of generations. Even if we can not at once, perceive anything good in a book which has been admired, and praised for hundreds of years, we may be sure that by, trying by studying it carefully, we shall at least be able to feel, the reason of this admiration and praise. The best of all libraries for a poor man would be a library entirely composed, of such great works only, books which have passed the test, of time., This then would be the most important guide for us in the, choice of readings. We should read only the books we want, to read more than once, nor should we buy any others, unless we have some special reason for so investing money., The second fact demanding attention is the general character of the value that lies hidden within all such great books., They never become old; their youth is immortal. A great book, is not apt to be comprehended by a young person at the first, reading, except in a superficial way. Only the surface, the, narrative is absorbed and enjoyed. No young man can possibly see at first reading the qualities of a great book. Remember that it has taken humanity in many cases hundreds of, years to find out all that there is in such a book. But according to a man's experience of life, the text will unfold new, meanings to him. The book that delighted us at eighteen, if it, be a good book, will delight us much more at twenty - five, and it will prove like a new book to us at thirty years of age., At forty we shall re - read it, wondering why we never saw, how beautiful it was before. At fifty of sixty years of age the, same facts will repeat themselves. A great book grows exactly in proportion to the growth of the reader's mind., 1. What is the test of a great book?, 2. What happens when we read a great book again and again?, 3. Whose judgment about a book can be beyond doubt?, 4. What should a library for poor men have?, 5. What value does a great book carry?, Answers :, 1. A great book is read again and again. Every time it is, read, it gives a fresh enjoyment., 2. A great book reveals new meanings and new beauties, when it is read again and again., 3. The judgment of generations of readers about a book, can be beyond doubt., 4. A library for poor men should have only those books, which have passed the test of time., 5. A great book never becomes old; its youth is immortal., Its relevance is permanent., , T, , I, , A 0, W 10, A, H N, K O, E, I, H SS, S, I, M, , Sponsored by AAYAAM CAREER ACADEMY, Sikar (Raj,)

It is a little hell., Ragpickers live in structures of mud. They have roofs, of tin and tarpaulin. There is no swayed, drainage or, running water. It is unimaginable that it is a part of, Delhi the capital of India., 3. What are the reasons that are responsible for, bangle - makers' plight?, Ans. There are several reasons for their plight. Firstly, they, are fatalists. They believe that they must suffer as, the fate has ordained so. Born in the caste of bangles, makers, they find themselves unable to do anything, different The society is indifferent to their lot. The, administration and the police join hands with the, middlemen and the money lenders to keep them in a, state of perpetual poverty. Any attempt on the fact of, the bangle - makers to organise them selves is looked, upon with suspicion by their exploiters and law - enforcing agencies.

He starts working at a, tea - stall. He feels sorry to lose his freedom but he, has no plans to regain it. Mukesh dreams of becoming a motor mechanic. He wants to do something different which his caste does not allow. But She is determined. He must fight against all odds to reach his, goal. Thus, he is different from Saheb in that he has, dreams while Saheb hasn't any., , still not out of his wits. He planned to jump up to the, surface but without any success. His hands and legs, were paralysed and rigid. His lungs ached and head, throbbed. He went down, endlessly. Then all efforts, ceased. When he came to senses, he found himself, lying beside the pool, vomiting., William O. Douglas decided to get an instructor and, learn how to swim. He went to a pool and practised, five days a week.

But it finally fled and he swam on in lake, Warm freely. He had conquered his fear of water., 2. A big boy threw Douglas into the swimming pool., How did this experience affect Douglas? (Imp), Ans. Y.M.C.A. swimming pool always revived unpleasant, memories and childish fears in Douglas. It was here, when a big boy threw him into the swimming pool. Actually, he had gone to the pool when no one else was, there. Then came a 'big bruiser' of a boy. He picked, Douglas up and toss him into the deep end. He at once, went to the bottom. He made a big jump to come to the, surface. Those nine feet were more than ninety. His, lungs were ready to burst. He opened his eyes and saw, nothing but water. He was suffocating. His legs would, not come up. They were paralysed and dead. He, scream but no one heard him. He went down, endlessly. Then sheer stark terror paralysed him. Then all, his efforts seized. He crossed into oblivion. Later he, found himself lying on his stomach vomiting beside the, pool., This experience had a far reaching effect, on Douglas. He never went back to the pool. He feared, water. He tried to avoid it whenever he could. And, whenever he went to a pool, the terror that seized him, in the pool would come back. His legs would become, paralysed. The horror would grab his heart. This handicap stayed with Douglas for years. It ruined his fishing, trips. He lost the joy of canoeing, boating, and swimming., 3. What efforts did William Douglas make to overcome, his fear of water? (Imp), Ans. The 'misadventure' that William O. Douglas experienced, at the Y.M.C.A. swimming pool left deep impression, on his mind. The fear stayed with him as the years, rolled by. Finally, he decided to get an instructor and, learn to swim. He went to a pool and practised five, days a week, an hour a day. The instructor put a belt, round him. A rope was attached to the belt. The rope, went through a pulley. He was made to go back and, forth across the pool. After three months the tension, began to slack. Then he taught Douglas how to exhale, under water and inhale outside it.

He was knocked, down by the waves. He was frightened and developed a permanent fear for water. This fear revived, when he was the YMCA swimming pool. A big boy, of eighteen tossed him into the deep end of the pool., He soon reached the bottom of the nine feet deep, pool. But those nine feet were more like ninety. He, was nearly drowned. He was gripped with terror but, , Sponsored by AAYAAM CAREER ACADEMY, Sikar (Raj,)

Iron master’s daughter more persuasive — We are, Introduced with the iron master and his daughter when, they try to take the peddler With them to their house., The former fails to persuade him While his daughter, succeeds persuading him. The difference in their, characters is quite clear. The daughter is more, persuasive than her father., Daughter more kind and generous — Edla is kind, and generous to the poor. She wants to give the paddler, happiness and peace of mind. She understands his, plight and tries to assuage his woes.Her father is a, man of dry reason. He threatens the peddler as soon, as he comes to know that he is not the captain. He, impulsively tells him to get out. But the daughter, kind, and compassionate as she is, reasons with his father and, again persuades him to let the peddler stay with them., Daughter- greater observer—The daughter is a, greater observer than her father. Seeing the peddler,, she observes that he is afraid. Either he has stole, something or else he has escaped from jail. She also, tells her father that he does not look like an educated, man. Her father does not pay attention to all these, things and says simply that the tramp manners of the, man will fall away from him With the tramp clothes., 2. What made the peddler finally change his ways, OR, Describe the events which changed the peddler's, way of life ., (Imp), Ans.The peddler was a poor man. He did not earn much, money by selling rattraps. So at times he used to steal., He was never welcomed anywhere. So he had, developed a kind of aversion for the people around, his. He did not care for them. That is why he paid, little attention to the good treatment that he received, from the crofter. When he was mistaken for a captain., He made use of that situation, But finally, when he, came in contact with the iron master's daughter, his, sensibilities got stirred. For the first time he realised, that the world was not so bad and that there were, some agreeable faces also which anyone could rely, on. His meeting with Ela made his change his ways., , 3., , The story "The Rattrap" is both entertaining and, philosophical. ?Do you agree with this statement, why/ who not?, or, The story 'The Rattrap' is a mixture of entertainment, and philosophic.

All the good things that are offered to you, (rich people) are nothing but cheese and bits of porks,, set out to drag a poor fellow into trouble., (iii) When the ironmaster asks the peddler to leave his house,, his daughter gives philosophical argument. "It was all a, mistake, of course. But any way I don't think we out to, chase away a human being whom we have asked to, come here and to whom we have promised Christmas, cheer.", 4. Attempt a character sketch of the crofter. How did, he treat the peddler?, Ans. The Crofter was a generous host and a good companion. He was an old man without wife or child. He was, a lonely man always in search of a good company. He, was happy to get someone to talk to in his loneliness., Hence, when the peddler knocked on the door of his, cottage to ask shelter for night, he was happy to receive him. The old man was equally generous with his, confidences. In his days of prosperity he had been a, Crofter at Ramsjo Ironworks. Now it was his cow which, supported him. He picked up three ten kronor notes, he, received from selling the creamery from the pouch. He, did it in the presence of his guest. He stuffed them, back into the pouch. It proved to be a bait difficult to be, resisted by the peddler., The generous host made every effort to make his guest, comfortable. Immediately he put the porridge pot on, the fire and gave him supper. He carved off a big slice, from his tobacco roll and gave it to the guest. Finally, he, got out an old pack of cards. He played 'jolis' with his, guest until bedtime., , T, , I, , A 0, W 10, A, H N, K O, E, I, H SS, S, I, M, Indigo, 1., , Why do you think Gandhiji considered the, Champaran episode to be turning - point in his life?, , Ans.

Previously they behaved as, lords above the law. Now the Indian peasants had, people to defend their rights., Above all the Champaran episode was the beginning, of their liberation from fear of the British., 2. How did Gandhiji help the poor in Champaran to, achieve freedom from fear? What made indigo share, - cropping disappear?, (Imp), OR, Which factor helped the fear stricken peasants of, Champaran to achieve Freedom?, Ans. Gandhiji came to Champaran to fight against the injustice of the landlord system there. First he went to, Muzaffarpur to obtain complete information about the, actual conditions there. He met Kriplani and Prof., Malkani who briefed him on the matter. Most of the, land in Champaran was divided into large estates, owned by Englishmen. They were worked by Indian, tenants to grow indigo. The landlords compelled all, tenants to planed to 15 percent of their holding with, indigo. They surrendered the entire harvest as rent., When synthetic indigo was developed in Germany Indigo plantation no longer remained profitable. The landlords release the tenants from 15 percent agreement., Thus, indigo sharecropping disappeared. They obtained agreements from sharecroppers to pay them, compensation. Many refused to sign and others wanted, their money back. At this doing Gandhiji arrived in, Champaran., A huge crowd welcomed Gandhiji at Champaran. The, commissioner advise him to leave the place. Gandhiji, didn't oblige him. He decided to disobey the order. He, received a summon to appear in the court the next, day. Thousands of peasants demonstrated around the, court house.

What did Gandhiji do to uplift culturally and socially the people of Champaran villages?, Ans. Gandhiji has achieved his goal of providing justice to, the sharecroppers of Champaran. The sharecroppers, were liberated from the fear of the landlords and were, made aware of their rights and their defenders. However, much was still to be done., The people of Champarana were culturally and socially backward. Gandhiji saw that eradication of illiteracy could be the first step towards their social and, cultural upliftment. He decided to open primary, schools. His two disciples and their wives volunteered., His son and his wife, Kasturbai too, joined him in his, work. A doctor volunteered his services. Three medicines were made available. Cure for three common, disease - constipation, malaria and skin eruptions, was, given. Personal and community hygiene was emphasized.

He kept, walking in the corridor he was in, which began angling, left and slanting downwards, when suddenly the tunnel, turned left. He went down a short flight of stairs and, came out on the third level., It was different because here the room was smaller,, there were fewer ticket windows and train gates and, the information booth was wooden and old looking. The, man in the booth wore a green eye shade and Long, Black Sleeve protectors, long out of fashion in charley's, present world. Lights were dim as open flame gaslights, were in use. There was a brass spittoon on the floor,, and a man was pulling a gold watch from his waist, pocket. He wore a derby hat a four button suit with tiny, lapels and had a big black handlebar moustache. Everyone in the station was dressed like the 1890 something. Men wore beards, sideburns and fancy moustaches. A woman wore a dress with a leg of mutton, sleeves and skirts to the top of her high buttoned shoe, and a Currier and Ives locomotive with a funnel shaped, stack, stood at the station., , T, , I, , A 0, W 10, A, H N, K O, E, I, H SS, S, I, M, The Tiger King, , 1., , How did the Tiger King meet his end? What is ironical about his fate?, (Imp), Ans. The Tiger King till now had paid attention only to tiger, hunting. But once he killed the hundredth tiger in his, opinion, he turned his attention to his crown prince. For, the child's third birthday, the Maharaja decided to present, him with a wooden tiger toy. However the boy had been, carved by an unskilled carpenter and its surface was, rough. Tiny silvers of wood stood up like quilts all over, it. Once of those silvers pierced the Maharaja's right, hand. Though the tiger pulled out the sliver the next, day, infection flared in his hand. In a few days it developed into a suppurating sore, which spread all over his, arm. Famous surgeons operated the wound, but the tiger could not survive and he died. It is very ironical that, a toy wooden tiger was the cause of Tiger's death., Though the king had killed tigers all his life to break the, astrologer's forecast of his death by a tiger in reality a, toy tiger cost him his life., 2. How was the hundredth tiger killed? (Imp), Or, Describe the efforts made by the Tiger King to achieve, his target of killing a hundred tigers., Ans. The Maharaja was sunk in gloom as he was unable to, Sponsored by AAYAAM CAREER ACADEMY, Sikar (Raj,)

Page 67 :
64, , Shekhawati Mission -100, locate the hundredth tiger. But he was determined to, kill the hundredth tiger so he remained in the forest, and did not return to his kingdom. After a few days, he saw an old tiger. He shot at the tiger and it fell, down. The Maharaja took it to be dead and left for, his capital. Later on, the hunters found out that the, tiger was not dead. It had just got failed because of, fear. The Maharaja's bullet had missed its mark. Now,, one of the hunters shot the tigers. This time the tiger, was killed., 3. Draw a character sketch of the Tiger King in your, own words., Ans. The Maharaja of Pratibandapuram, Sir Jilani Jung Jung, Bahudur, had many and sub names. But he was popular as the Tiger King. The chief astrologer predicted, that his death would come from a tiger.Crown prince, Jung Jung Bahadur grew taller and stronger day by, day. He was brought up by an English governess. He, was tutored in English by an Englishman. When he, grew to twenty he took the reign in his hands., The Maharaja continued his campaign of tiger- hunting with rare single mindedness. With in a span of ten, years he killed 70 tigers. It was his master stated to, marry a girl of a state which had a large tiger population. So he was able to kill 99 tigers in all., The Tiger King could pay any price to maintain his, kingdom. He had to give a bride worth three lakh rupees to a high ranking British official to retain his kingdom., The Maharaja knew how to take work from his minions. He used the dewan to find out the suitable girl, for his marriage. He could be hot - headed and doubled, the tax on the people. He also threatened the dewan, to dismiss him from his service. It is ironical that the, King met his death by a wooden tiger. At last, the, hundredth tiger took revenge upon him., 4. How did the Tiger King come in the danger of, losing his throne and how did he save his kingdom?, (Imp), Or, When did the Tiger King stand indanger of losing, his kingdom? How was he able to avert the danger?, Ans. The state banned tiger hunting by anyone except the, king. Once a high ranking British officer visited, Pratibandapuram. He was fond o hunting tigers. He, liked to be photographed with the tigers he had shot., The Maharaja was firm in his resolve. He refused, permission. He was ready to organise any other hunt., The officer could go on a boar hunt but the tiger hunt, was impossible., The British officer's secretary sent word through the, dewan. The Maharaja could do the actual killing . The, officer only wanted to be photographed holding the, gun near the dead tiger. The Maharaja didn't relent., He prevented a British officer from fulfilling his desire. The Maharaja stood in danger of listing his kingdom itself. He held deliberation over the issue with, , 5., , the dewan. Samples of expensive diamond rings were, ordered. A famous British company of jewellers in, Calcutta sent fifty rings. The Maharaja sent the whole, lot to the British officer's good lady. She was expected, to choose one or two rings. The lady kept all the rings, wither. She sent her thanks to the Maharaja for the, gifts. The Maharaja was very happy. Though he had, lost three lakh of rupees, he had managed to retain his, kingdom., How did the hundredth tiger take its revenge upon, the Tiger King ?, (Imp.), Or, The chief astrologer’s prediction about the death of, the king came to be true. Do you, agree with the statement ? Explain why or why not?, , I, , Ans. The chief-astrologer had already warned the king of, Pratibandapuram that his death would come from a, tiger. The king should be particularly aware of the, hundredth tiger. The king was relieved to have shot the, hundredth tiger dead. His vow seemed to be fulfilled., Little did he know that the hundredth tiger survived., The bullet missed its mark. The hunters shot the old, tiger dead. Ironically, the King’s death came from a, tiger. It was a toy-tiger that caused the Maharaja’s, death., The Maharaja’s anxiety reached a fever pitch. The, hundredth tiger was nowhere to be found out. The, dewan himself was in danger of losing his job. He got a, tiger arranged and left it in the forest where the Maharaja, was hunting. The stage-managed drama was not, successful. The tiger was killed but not by the Maharaja., The toy-tiger he bought as a birthday gift for his son, caused his death. One of the slivers of the toy-tiger, pierced his right hand. It caused deadly infection. The, king couldn’t survive and became the victim of the, hundredth tiger. The prediction of the chief astrologer, came out to be true., , T, , A 0, W 10, A, H N, K O, E, I, H SS, S, I, M, The Enemy, , 1., , Give a character sketch of Dr. Sadao., Or, Describe Sadao as a true doctor., Or, Why did Dr. Sadao let the wounded American soldier escape? Explain highlighting the character of, Dr. Sadao., (Imp), Ans. Dr. Sadao is not only good doctor but a true human, being also. As a doctor, he is expert at his work. He has, good knowledge of medicine and surgery. He also remembers that he has been trained to save lives against, all oddities. As a good human beings, his hearts full of, sympathy for all. Saving lives is his religion. That is, why he saves the life of a soldier who belongs to his, enemy country. He is a loving husband too. When the, servants go away, he helps his wife in taking care of, the children. We may say that Dr. Sadao is an ideal, human being., Sponsored by AAYAAM CAREER ACADEMY, Sikar (Raj,)

Page 68 :
65, , Shekhawati Mission -100, 2., , How does the story show that basic human goodness overpower all other factors?, Or, What is the message of the story?(Imp), Ans. This story gives the message of human love and brotherhood. It teaches us to rise above narrow feelings of, nationality and consider the whole world as our family. A Japanese doctor saves the life of an American, soldier at a time when Japan and America are at war,, His patriotism demands him to hand over the soldier, to the police. But his goodness as a doctor prompts, him to heal his wound. He forgets his nationality and, threats the man as a human being. We see that basic, human goodness over powers all other factors. We, learn to listen to our heart that is basically good. We, learn to develop human feelings in us and put them, above everything else in practical life., 3. Describe the difficulties faced by Dr. Sadao when, he tired to help the enemy soldier., (Imp), Ans.An American prisoner of war was washed ashore in, a dying state. He was found at the doorstep of a, Japanese doctor, Dr. Sadao. First of all, the doctor, faced a dilemma. Should he save him as a doctor or, hand him over to the Army as a patriot ? Japan was, at war with’ America. He acted promptly and packed, the wound with the sea moss lying on the bead Once, he thought of throwing the man “back in the sea”. If, he sheltered a white man in his house, he could be, arrested. If he turned him over as a prisoner, he would, certainly die. Would even die if he was not operated, on. Dr. Sadao and his kind-hearted wife Hana faced, resistance of the servants and Yumi. Yumi refused to, wash the wounds of a white man. Servants left them, in anger. Hana rose to the occasion. She washed the, wounds and helped giving the anaesthetic. Dr. Sadao, was no less a patriot than anyone else. But the ethics, of profession had trained him to save even a dying, enemy. Putting aside all obstacles, difficult and dangers,, he operated on the enemy soldier. Not only that. He, also helped him to escape freedom., , to love life. He started to love meeting people and talking, to them. He came out of his seclusion. Thus, Mr. Lamb, brought a positive change in Derry's attitude towards life., 2. What kind of a person was Mr. Lamb?, Or, Give the character sketch of Mr. Lamb., Ans. Mr. Lamb was an old man and suffered a physical disability. His leg was blown off years ago and now he, had a tin - leg. He was called Lamey - Lamb by some, kids but the remark did not disturb him. He lived all, alone in a big house with a huge garden. He kept the, gates of the house open to let anyone wander in, and, talk to him. He loved company of perfect strangers,, and did not let his loveliness overpower him. His optimism in lie was magnified when he tried to advise Derry., He saw and lived life to the brim. He did not hear the, bees in his garden buzz. He heard them sing. He liked, to sit in the sun, read books and the sound of the wind, through the open windows. He did not have curtains in, his house because he didn't like to shut in or shut out the, light. He liked to make toffees with honey and jelly from, the crab apples in his garden for children. He never, scolded children from plucking apples and pears from, his garden. He saw life even in weeds and admired it., His never say die spirit, his enthusiasm, his courage and, strong will power, made Derry realise that it was important for him to think and feel too, and thus he too, wanted to see, find out and hear and listen and look at, things. The defiant and withdrawn Derry was converted, to a sensitive and understanding boy., 3. What are the differences between Derry and Mr., Lamb?, (Imp), Or, Though both Mr. Lamb and Derry suffer from a, physical disability, their attitude to life is very different. Justify the relevance of this statement with, reference to the story 'On The Face of It', Ans. Derry was pessimistic and saw the bad side of life., When asked by Mr. Lamb what he saw beyond the, wall, he replied weed, whereas Mr. Lamb said that they, were a kind of flowers which showed his optimistic, attitude towards life. Derry was a young hobby with a, burnt face, whereas as Mr. Lamb was old and had a tin, leg. Derry disliked people as he said so and was an, introvert where as Mr. Lamb loved people and kept the, gates of his house open, so that people could enter his, house anytime. He was an extrovert. Derry had a low, self esteem and suffered from and inferiority complex,, where as Mr. Lamb was sure of himself and was a, mature man. Derry was very sensitive and reacted to, people's remarks and barks, where as Mr. Lamb was, strong and confident and ignored remarks like 'Laney Lamb' by people. Derry took life too seriously and found, mistakes in everything, where as Mr Lamb had a pleasant attitude and found small pleasure in little things., , T, , I, , A 0, W 10, A, H N, K O, E, I, H SS, S, I, M, On the Face of It, , 1., , What change did Mr. Lamb bring in Derry's attitude towards life?, Or, How did Mr. Lamb's meeting with Derry become, a turning point in Derry's life?(Imp), Ans. Derry had a burnt face. This made him feel low of, himself. He avoided meeting people and talking to, them. But his chance meeting with Mr. Lamb became, a turning point in his life. Mr. Lamb's one leg was of, tin. But he led just as normal life as all others did. He, did not have any inferiority complex. He loved meeting people. His life became a motivation for Derry, and he overcame his inferiority complex. Now, he got, rid of the feeling that people did not like him. He started, , Sponsored by AAYAAM CAREER ACADEMY, Sikar (Raj,)

Shekhawati Mission -100, Memories of Childhood, 1., , Describe how Zitkala - Sa tried in vain to save her, hair from being cut. Why did she want to save her, hair?, (Imp), Ans. Zitkala sa belonged to the American Indian community, which was a marginalised community. She had to face, several prejudice and struggled and triumphed. She suffered prejudices in the Carlisle Indian school, a school, run by the majority community. There were young Indian girls and boys in this school who led a very regimented lie as strict rules were enforced on them. Zitkala, too had to face this situation. When she got to know, from her friend Judewin that her hair were to be cut,, she rebelled. This was because her mother had taught, her that only unskilled warriors who were captured had, their hair shingled by the enemy. Moreover, along the, Indians, short hair were worn by mourners and shingled, hair by cowards., To save her hair from being cut she disappeared when, no one was looking and entered an empty room with, three white bed. The room was very dim and she, crawled under the bed and huddled herself in the dark, corner. Though she was being called, she kept quite ., She held her breath, when the sound came nearer., She kicked, scratched widely and resisted when she, was pulled out. She even cried a loud, and shook her, head all the while until she felt the cold blades of the, scissors against her neck and heard one of her thick, braids cut off. Then she lost her spirit., 2. What are the similarities in the lives of Bama and, Zitkala though they belong to different cultures?, Ans. Both Zitkala sa and Bama's narratives are based on, their personal experiences when they were subjugated, to humiliations as members of their respective, marginalised communities. Though they belonged to, two totally contrast cultures and backgrounds, a thread, of commonality connects them. A recurring theme is, found in heir circumstances and situations., Firstly, both girls belonged go marginalised communities and different backgrounds. Zitkala - sa was a, native American woman and Bama was s Tamil Dalit, from a Roman Catholic family. Both suffered various, humiliations at the hands of the dominant community., Secondly , Zitkala sa was a victim of cultural invasion, in which her own cultural identity was threatened, whereas Bama was a victim of caste discrimination, and untouchability., Thirdly, both saw the reality of life at very young age., Zitkala sa as a young adolescent and Bama as an 8-9, years old child., Fourthly, both had to struggle to come to terms with, their identity. Zitkala sa in the Carlisle Indian school, run by the white for the native Americans and Bama, , 66, as an untouchable among the members o the upper, caste, in her own village., Fifthly both the girls struggled for existence. Though, both rebelled, Zitkala sa against the shingling of her hair, and Bama against caste discrimination and untouchability the former lost her battle and was forced to submit. Bama on the other hand educated herself and did, well in academics and stood first in class., 3, What kind of a child was Bama?, Ans. Bama was a young girl studying in the third class. She, was a Tamilian and belonged to the marginalised community. She was a typical young girl, occupied what her, own world of thoughts and the sights and sounds around, her. Very innocent, she was totally unaware about the, indignities heaped onto her community. She enjoyed, watching the performing monkey, the snake, the cycle, rider pongal offerings, sweet stall, hunter, gypsy etc., This child like quality kept her totally glued to the street., She was easily amused, and the sight of her community, elder holding the vadai packet in a strange and awkward way made her laugh. She was too simple and, innocent to understand the gravity of the situation. It, was only after her brother told her about the indignities, their community suffered from did a feeling of self respect arise with in her. She got angry and infuriated on, the insult meted out to the community elder and fought, hard by studying hard to life herself from this backwardness., She looked upto her brother and obeyed him. She understood what he told her, about studying hard to win,, over her detractors., 4. Describe the experience Bama had on her way back, home which made -her feel sad., (Imp), Ans. The narrator was still a little girl. She belonged to a, ‘low’ caste but never had any bitter experience related, to ‘untouchability’. One day an old man of her street, attracted her attention. He was carrying a small packet, of food by its string without touching it. The elder went, straight to the landlord, bowed low and extended the, packet towards him. She wanted to shriek with laughter., The way such a big man was carrying a small packet, looked very funny., Bama told this story in all its comic detail to her elder, brother. But her brother was not amused. The landlord, was from an upper caste. He didn’t want that man to, touch him. If he did, he would be polluted. That was, why the man had to carry the packet by its string. When, she heard this her laughter vanished. She felt terribly, sad. She felt so much provoked and angry that she, herself wanted to touch those ‘vadais’ herself, straightaway. These people too were human beings and, deserved human dignity and respect., , T, , I, , A 0, W 10, A, H N, K O, E, I, H SS, S, I, M, , Sponsored by AAYAAM CAREER ACADEMY, Sikar (Raj,)

This is because they have begun to aggravate, diseases instead of curing them. No one has a solution. The doctors are perplexed and the patients are annoyed. The, outcome of intensive research and in-depth studies has startled everyone. These findings show that unnecessary use of, medicines has created a trend in which people not only take medicines for every small ailment, but also advise others to, do so. This habit is now a fashion, a passion and a mark of being educated and aware. Sometimes, it is even considered, a status symbol. People think that they should take strong drugs, irrespective of whether the disease is minor or major., Nowadays, a shelf of medicines is found in every house. This practice is not merely confined to general medicines, but, has now spread even to antibiotics. The literal meaning of the word antibiotics is – ‘against life’.

82, , Shekhawati Mission -100, , misuse, they have really begun acting against our life. Experts say that unnecessary consumption of antibiotics is increasing, the longevity of the microbes on the one hand, while adversely affecting the patient’s health on the other. This is because, due to the overuse of these medicines the resistance of microorganisms is increasing, while the immunity of the individuals, is decreasing. The medical experts have now begun to accept openly that neither the doctors refrain from prescribing the, antibiotics for even simple aliments, nor the patients observe restraint in consuming them. It is a matter of concern that, these medicines are used excessively without understanding their side-effects. Recently, the World Health Organization, has also issued in advisory to the Southeast Asian countries, including India. It has warned that if the unrestricted use of, antibiotics continues, the coming times may witness a substantial rise in the number of deaths occurring due to ‘microbial, resistance.’ Antibiotics either destroy the disease-causing bacteria completely or prohibit their growth. However, their, prolonged use gives rise to mutation in the bacteria, which makes them resistant towards these drugs. Consequently, they, stop, having any effect on them. This situation is termed by medical experts as ‘microbial resistance’. Various researches, and studies carried out in this context also lead to the conclusion that medicines are becoming poisonous. The chief cause, of this situation is the unrestrained use of antibiotics. Studies have revealed that sometimes strong antibiotics are taken, even for treating simple problems., (i), What have the medical experts begun to accept openly ?, 2, (ii), what advisory has been issued by the WHO?, 2, (iii), What do the outcome of intensive research and in-depth studies show ?, 2, (iv), What is the mean of ‘microbial resistance’ ?, 2, (v), Find a similar word for ‘confused’ and an antonym for ‘solutions’ from the passage., 2, 5, Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :, Marriage is an important institution of human society. In the remote past of human history man was living and, behaving like an animal. Then he was hardly even aware of his relationship to his parents, brothers and sisters. In the, biological kingdom, this primitive man was even subordinate in status to the animals, neither did he have the strength of an, elephant nor the sharp teeth and claws of the carnivore. He did not even have the hard protective hide of the rhinoceros, and could not protect himself by any other extraordinary physical capability. Nevertheless, he did possess the unique, human instinct of cooperation and organization, with the help of which, he could dominate over the animals besides, protecting and proliferating his own species. But in spite of this natural trait, in absence of permanent arrangements for, housing, food and clothes, the primitive man was living in small groups, in large caves and on trees. Since in those days, the institution of family had not come into existence, the relation between man and woman was different from what it is, today, in modern times. There is little doubt that tradition of marriage has made a significant contribution in organization, and development of human society and with the help of this institution man has been able to make significant achievements, by joining much larger families and thereby enlarging fields of activities. Giving due importance to this human necessity,, the Indian philosophers declared the ceremony of marriage as a great religious rite, decreeing that the bond between, husband and wife be considered ever-lasting, pious in all activities of life. The couple were to participate with absolute, cooperation, so that their resultant contribution became many times than even their combined individual input. This, institution of family further enlarged to constitute ethnic groups, which later became the foundation stones for the various, nations of the world. The tradition of marriage was adopted by people all over the world with ceremonial modifications, according to local requirements and local atmosphere of the region. Nevertheless, the basic framework of the process, continued to be the same in that the suitability of the would-be husband for maiden was first ascertained by the father of, the girl and on his approval, the couple was declared as man and wife after participating in some religious ceremony., While handing over the responsibilities for looking after bride (Kanya Dan), the groom was also gifted with articles of, domestic requirements like eatables, clothes and kitchenware. Nowhere in the scriptures there is reference to the socalled tradition of pre-fixing a dowry prior to matrimony,entertaining large number of guests from the groom’s party or, celebrating the event with pompous dance, music and feasts for days., (i), When had the institution of family not come into exitance?, 1, (ii), What is an important institution of human society?, 1, (iii), What is declared by the Indian Philosophers about the ceremony of marriage?, 1, (iv), Where did the primitive man live?, 1, (v), What is Kanya Dan?, 1, SECTION - C, , T, , I, , A 0, W 10, A, H N, K O, E, I, H SS, S, I, M, , Sponsored by AAYAAM CAREER ACADEMY, Sikar (Raj,)

In a very short time and quite unexpectedly,India has risen to, considerable eminence in the world of information technology. This year, software products are expected to account for $5.7 billion, in exports and will account for a quarter of the growth in the economy, which is expected to grow nearly seven percent. Within eight, years, predicts a recent study by Mekinsey 4Co. and the National Association of Software Service Companies (Nasscorn) India’s, annual IT exports could hit $50 billion and 33 percent of global software exports. Such a surge is expected to generate 2.2 million jobsand push our growth rate near the double digits that many East Asian Tigers enjoyed before the 1997 crash. For the rapidly growing, middle class, which was disparate to make its presencefelt but remained mired in the great Indian outback of the global economy and, regretfully watched the industrial revolution pass it by, this is the moment they have been waiting for. When countries like Japan and, Germany, the objects of Indian admiration, should come knocking on our doors to solicit our talent to invigorate their industry, it is, indeed redemption of sorts. And IT is the cause of it all. The big question is, will IT do an encore for India as a nation and not just, for a wafer thin percentage of IT literate Indians mostly the poster boys of the IITs ? IT has as yet, failed to touch the lives of the, average citizen and India is nowhere close to being a knowledge economy or society As per the International Data Corporation (IDC),, in a survey of 55 countries, India ranks 54th on its Information Society Index. The fact is, it is a straightforward reflection of the deep, inequality of our education system which breeds a few ‘geniuses’ at the cost of the entire nation. A study by former Director of the, National Center for Software Technology, R. Narasimhan, points out that nowhere is the digital divide more glaring than in IT, education., (i), Why is the digital divide clearly visible in IT revolution ?, 2, (ii), Why is IT not beneficial for average Indians ?, 2, (iii), What is middle class of India waiting for ?, 2, Sponsored by AAYAAM CAREER ACADEMY, Sikar (Raj,)
