(ii)
The
baby langur was in state of………
(iii)
The
mother langur was sitting on their………
(iv)
Splashes of cold water made the baby………
|
I took the
baby langur to our
backyard and gently
laid him on
the floor inside the poultry coop. His body was
full of deep bite marks and scratched. Blood was oozing from some of the wounds.
The baby remained motionless. My father provided first aid to clean the
wounds and stop the bleeding. I was relieved to find out that the baby was breathing,
even though his breaths were shallow.
Splashes
of cold water
made the baby
stir and after
a few shaky
attempts, he sat up. He was
in state of
shock and started
trembling like a
leaf in the wind. His two little twinkling eyes
welled up with tears and he started
to sob with
a muffled cry - just like a human child
would after experiencing trauma.
I offered him a peeled banana which he accepted with his unsteady
hand and began taking hesitant bites.
My
attention was fixed
on the revival
of the baby
langur. Suddenly, I had an
uncanny feeling of being watched. I
turned away from the coop and looked up. There sat the mother langur on
our kitchen roof, watching every move I made. She simply sat there
quietly, as if convinced that no harm was being done to her child.

Q.2 (B) Read the following passage
and do the activities. (10
Marks)
(B1) Write whether the following sentences are
true or false. 02
(i)
Quantifying
goals provides specific ways to track progress against goals.
(ii) Setting goals that
can’t be completed in the designated period of time.
(iii)
It is important to create goals that are within one’s current skill set or area of expertise.
|
SMART
goals have a specific rubric:
Specific: Involves identifying a
specific area for improvement. The more specific the area, the more refined the
achievement of one’s goal can be.
It makes it easier to set parameters and work towards the goal. For
example, if it
is building a
house, what exactly is the capacity required and how long can it
stretch?
Measurable: Quantifying goals
provides specific ways to track progress against goals. This makes it easy
to benchmark performance throughout the goal period, including areas to
improve. While playing football,
one’s exact role and position has to be clearly defined.
Achievable: Setting goals that can
be completed in the designated period of time. Often, these goals may act
like stepping stones to help meet broader goals that further define a
career. As students, we can’t become a President, a Prime Minister, but
can hope to reach those heights
in future.
Realistic: It is
important to create
goals that are
within one’s current
skill set or area of expertise. Building expertise takes time, so
expecting to become anexpert in a short amount of time is unrealistic.
Being realistic will make it easy to be successful at attaining goals. If
defensive and not aggressive, the goal perhaps lacks
realism.Wemusthavetheclearpictureinmindandmusthavetheabilitytoadhere

(iv) Being realistic will
make it difficult to be successful at attaining goals.
(B2) How does quantifying goals help us? 02
(B3) Cross the odd man out. 02
(1)
involve,
provide, important, create.
(2)
specific,

(3)
performance, achievement,

(4)
clearly,
lucky, freely, exactly.
(B4) (1) It is important to create goals. (Pick
out the infinitive.) 01
(2) These goals may act like
steppingstones. 01
(Pick out the present participle.)
(B5) Why is it necessary to set our goals realistic? 02
SECTION III: POETRY – 10 Marks
Q.3 (A) Read the following stanzas and do the activities. (5 Marks) (A1) Choose the correct alternative and complete the sentences. 02

O
Captain! My Captain!
O Captain!
My Captain! our fearful trip is done;
The ship has weather’d every rack, the prize we
sought is won;
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all
exulting,
While follow eyes the steady keel, the
vessel grim and daring:
But O heart! heart! heart!
O the bleeding drops of
red,
Where on the deck my Captain
lies, Fallen cold and dead.
O Captain! My Captain! rise
up and hear the bells;
Rise up- for you the flag is flung- for you
the bugle trills;
For you bouquets and ribbon'd wreaths-
for you the shore acrowding;
For you they call, the swaying mass,
their eager faces turning;
Here Captain! Dear father!
This arm beneath your head;
It is some dream that on the
deck, You’ve fallen cold and dead.
My
Captain does not
answer, his lips
are pale and
still; My father does not
feel my arm, he has no pulse nor will;
The ship is anchor'd safe and sound, its voyage closed and
done; From fearful trip, the victor ship, comes in with object won;
Exult, O shores, and ring,
O bells!
But I,
with mournful tread,
Walk the deck my Captain lies,
Fallen cold and dead.

(i)
wastes are not being managed properly.
(ii)
of garbage is one of the most important services.
(iii)
At present of Delhi’s land mass is being choked by the garbage.
(iv)
are managing solid wastes for at least 25
thousand Delhites.
|
It is
obvious from the visible garbage around us that solid wastes are not being
managed properly. However, housing colonies are the most disorganized
sector as far as garbage is concerned. As a result, the legal garbage
dumps are overflowing and the number of illegal garbage dumps in the
by-lanes, parks and roadsides are on
the increase in
most colonies of
Delhi and for
that matter in
all Indian cities.
At present
five percent of Delhi’s land mass is being choked by the garbage. This five percent has become a
wasteland, its utility is steadily declining and soil quality is
deteriorating. Besides being eyesores, these garbage dumps pose health and
environment hazard for the ten million people who live in Delhi. They are
breeding grounds for the germs of infectious disease like plague,
tuberculosis, dysentery, diarrhoea, eye-infections and numerous skin
ailments.
Scientific
management of garbage thus is one of the most important services that need to be regularized in all
residential colonies. After exploring all viable
solutionstothisproblem,Ihavesuccessfullylaunchedanindigenousscheme
– Cleaning Brigades – in many
colonies of Delhi. The cleaning Brigades are managing solid wastes for at
least 25 thousand Delhites. A year

Since then it has been constantly expanding.
