Q1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions (8 marks) We readily admit the importance of character building in education. But we take the word “Character” lightly and treat the concept casually. So, we pay scant attention to “character” in recruiting teachers, who are to serve as character builders. Character building seems to be just about the only task that we expect to be accomplished by those whose suitability for it is presumed to be immaterial. This indifference to character bedevils education at all levels.

Q.1 Read the passage carefully In Europe winter brings with it extreme cold, and food is in short supply. Since most animals can't live in such conditions, they either, sleep through winter or migrate. Of the various migratory creatures the urge to migrate is very strong in certain birds. For example, the tern can reproduce only during a two-month period. During those two months the tern lives in the areas near the North Pole. In the ten months between this time and the next, it flies all the way from the North Pole to the South Pole, and then back north again.

Q.1. Read the following passage carefully and complete the given task. (7 Marks) A noise is sound that is unpleasant to the ears. However, a noise unpleasant to one person may be peasant to another. In scientific terms, noise is made by an irregular pattern of sound waves. There are a number of things which make our world unpleasantly or even dangerously noisy, such as jet aircraft taking off, road drills, heavy traffic or loudspeakers. The sound waves bang into structures and cause them to vibrate, giving rise to noise. In the process the ears get damaged. In younger people deafness can be caused by too loud noise or from prolonged exposure to loud noise as produced by too much amplification in a discotheque or by machines in a factory. The noise depends on the energy the sound waves carry. Decibel scale is used to measure loudness of sound.
