the condition of the Colonel. So he was upset. Once, Hughie visited his friend TrevRU¶VVWXGLR

He saw a beggar model there. The old model had a wizened face. He looked very miserable. His tattered cloak, patched and cobbled boots made him a typical beggar. Hughie took pity and gave him a sovereign. Actually the beggar model was Baron Hausberg, one of the richest men in Europe. After knowing the truth, Hughie felt very sorry for his act. But the Baron sent a cheque for ten thousand pounds as a reward. Thus the charitable act of Hughie was rewarded. Really the millionaire model was a model millionaire.

GOING FOR WATER

We ran as if to meet the moon

That slowly dawned behind the trees,

The barren boughs without the leaves,

Without the birds, without the breeze.

But once within the wood, we paused

Like gnomes that hid us from the moon,

Ready to run to hiding new

With laughter when she found us soon.

Each laid on other a staying hand To listen ere we dared to look, And in the hush we joined to make

We heard, we knew we heard the brook.

childhood days

One evening, the poet D.H.Lawrence hears a song of a woman. She plays the piano with great passion. It reminds him of his childhood. His mother is playing the piano and also singing. He sits under the piano and listens to the vibration of the strings. He touches her feet with his small fingers. Mother smiles at him. On Sunday evenings, all the family members sing hymns. The hymns of his mother, the music from the piano and the warmth of the comfortable parlour would fill him with joy. Though the woman sings loudly, her black piano makes attractive sounds. But it has no effect on the poet now. His mind is flooded with his childhood memories. Though he is a grown up, he weeps like a child longing for the past.

Theme : The qualities of manliness.

The poet Rudyard Kipling says that we should not live in a dream world always. We should not addict to thoughts. Because action is very important than dreams and thoughts in our life. Victory and defeat are the two sides of a same coin. We should learn good lessons from that and consider both as same. We may lose our physical strength but we should not lose our hope. We have to use the time properly and usefully. If we are able to do the above we are the masters of the world.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow :

Model Exercise-1:

Speech is a great blessing but it can also be a great curse, for while it helps us to make our intentions and desires known to others, it can also, if we use it carelessly, make our attitude completely misunderstood. A slip of the tongue, the use of an unusual word, or of an ambiguous word, may create an enemy where we had hoped to win a friend. Again different classes of people use different words, and the ordinary speech of an educated man may create the impression to an uneducated listener that he was showing off with his skill: Unwittingly we may use a word which bears a different meaning to our listener from what it does to a man of his own class. Thus speech is not a gift to use lightly without thought, but one which demands careful handling: Only a fool would express himself alike to all kinds and conditions of people and situations.

a)In what way is speech a blessing to mankind?

b)Describe how words could make an enemy out of someone you would like to be a friend?

c):K\ LV DQ HGXFDWHG PDQ¶V VSHHFK FRQVLGHUHG boastful by an uneducated listener?

d)How should speech be used?

e)How does one prove himself a fool through his use of language?

Answers:

a)Speech helps us to make our intentions and desires known to others.

b)A slip of the tongue, the use of an unusual word or of an ambiguous word could make an enemy out of someone you would like to befriend.

c)Different classes of people use different words. An uneducated listener will not understand the way of talking of an educated man. So he may consider it as boastful.

d)Speech is a gift. We should not use it without thoughts.

e)When one expresses himself alike to all kinds and conditions of people and situations, he may prove himself a fool.

Exercise-2:

Our earth is the only planet with a variety of plants, animals and the microorganisms living either in the aquatic or the terrestrial habitats. An environment with rich biological diversity is the basis for human existence. The equilibrium status of living and non living factors in an environment is known as balance in nature. It is disturbed at times due to natural calamities like storm, flood, pests, outbreaks and fire. Rapid population growth, industrialisation and urbanisation are the causes for deforestation exploiting fauna and flora against eco system. Indian Parliament has passed the Wildlife Protection Act in 1980 to preserve and protect our natural wealth.

a)Which is the basis for human existence?

b)How is balance in nature established?

c)Mention some natural calamities that disturb the blanace in nature.

d)Which Act has been passed in our country to

protect the forests? When was it passed?

i)The plants of a particular environment.

ii)The animals living in a particular area.

iii)Deforestation.

Answers:

b)Balance in nature is established by maintaining the equilibrium status of living and non living factors in an environment.

c)Storm, flood, pests, outbreak of diseases and fire.

d)Wild life Protection Act has been passed in our country to protect the forests. It was passed in 1980.

e)Deforestation

Exercise-3:

Pollution is an undesirable change in physical, chemical and biological characteristics of our land, air and water caused by excessive accumulation of pollutants. The pollutants like carbon di oxide, sulphur-di-oxide and nitrogen oxide cause air pollution. The gas sulphur di-oxide produces acid rain. Due to acid rain, buildings and plant materials are damaged. The increase of these causes global warming also. The average increase in the temperature of atmosphere is called global warming. This is otherwise known as green house effect. This leads to the rise of sea level due to the melting of glaciers. The expansion of water will engulf many parts of this country. July 1998 was the hottest month world over.

Exercise-4:

The Autobiography of a Euro

It took three long years for my coming into existence after the idea of a new currency was conceived. I was conceived and named on 1st Jan, 1999, when eleven European countries decided to have a new money from i.e. the Euro. My value was determined according to the conversion rate fixed by these countries in terms of their own currencies. On 1st January 2002, I was circulated as currency notes when twelve countries adopted me as their currency. Some countries opposed the idea of using me and initially refused to accept me. But now almost all the European countries have accepted me as valid currency. My brother Dollar who is in America, my brother Lira residing in Italy and my sister Sterling were quite jealous of me but soon they accepted my existence and started respecting me. I now enjoy a place of pride among all the currencies in the world and almost everyone accepts me freely.

Exercise 6:

Discipline is the most essential virtue you should acquire when you are young. It is a complex quality. It shapes your mind to religious, social and economic patterns when you grow up to be an active citizen. At a young age, we do not realize the value of discipline, as children, we merely long for unlimited freedom, without understanding the meaning of discipline. An athlete disciplines himself and keeps himself fit. He refrains from smoking, observes good food habits and keeps good health. Discipline increases the human energy and implies control, resistance and adjustment. Our energy is saved and made vital for a good output.

At the height of mum's happiness, however, I began to notice that Dad was moping around the house and looking increasingly sad and worried. it turned out that, since returning from the war, he'd been unable to find a job, At the time I was too young to understand why anyone would get sad and worried about that. because I thought I would be as happy as a cat in a fish shop to have such a long holiday. Then, a few weeks later, I observed the same big horse pulling a cart down our street and it clip- clopped right up into our driveway. Soon two men began to load mum's piano onto the wagon while all the neighbours gathered around to watch. Mum stayed in the kitchen sobbing. She was a proud person and couldn't bear to see her beloved piano sitting on top of the wagon. Dad sat out in the backyard next to the chicken shed, looking sadder than I had ever seen him.

Long long ago there lived a great painter. He

was engaged to paint a mural for the cathedral in a Sicilian town. The subject was the life of Jesus. He

worked for many years. He searched the models for the child Jesus and Judas Iscariot. One day he saw a twelve year old boy in a street. His face was like an angel. The boy became the model for the child Jesus. But he could not find the model for Judas Iscariot. After many years he found a man who begged badly for wine. The painter thought that his face was suitable for painting the face of Judas Iscariot. He was made the model for Judas Iscariot. While the painter was busy in work, the model wept. The painter asked for the reason. The man revealed that he was the man who posed for the child Jesus. There is an irony in this story. The same man, who had been ignorant once, could become an arrogant in due course of life.
