  Passage - I

  A recent investigation by scientists at the USA Geological Survey shows that strange animal behaviour might help predict future earthquakes. Investigators found such occurrences in a ten kilometer radius of the epicentre of a fairly recent quake. Some birds screeched and flew about wildly, dogs yelped and ran uncontrollably. Scientists believe that animals can perceive these environmental changes as early as several days before the mishap.

  In 1976, after observing the animal behaviour, the Chinese were able to predict a devastating quake. Although hundreds of thousands of people were killed, the government was able to evacuate millions of other and thus keep the death toll at a lower level.

  Passage - II

  Mihir and Mahadev lived in the same village. While Mahadev owned the largest shop in the village, Mihir was a poor farmer. Both had large families, with many sons, daughters-in-law and grandchildren. One day, Mihir, tired of not being able to make ends meet, decided to leave the village and move to the city where they were sure to make enough to feed everyone. They said their goodbyes, packed their few belongings and set off. When night fell, they stopped under a large tree. There was a stream running nearby, where they could refresh themselves. Mihir told his sons to clear the area below the tree. He told his wife to fetch water. He instructed his daughters-in-law to make up the fire and started cutting wood from the tree himself. Now, in the branches of that tree sat a thief. He watched as Mihir's family worked together. He also noticed they had nothing to cook. Mihir?s wife too thought the same for, she said to her husband, "Everything is ready. But what shall we eat?" Mihir raised his hands to heaven and said, "Don't worry. He is watching all this from above. He will help us," The, thief was worried. He had seen that the family was large and worked well together. Surely they did not know he was hiding in the branches'? He decided to make a quick get, away. He climbed down swiftly when they were not looking and ran for his life. But, he left behind his bundle of stolen jewels and money, which dropped down into Mihir's lap. He opened it and jumped with joy when he saw the contents. The family promptly gathered its belongings and returned to the village. There was great excitement when they told everyone how they got rich. Mahadev thought this was a nice quick way to earn some money! He commanded his family to pack some clothes and they set off as if on a journey. They stopped under the same tree and Mahadev started commanding everyone as Mihir had done. But no one in his family was willing to obey orders. They were used to having servants wait on them-so the one who went to the river to fetch water had a nice bath. The one who went to gather wood for the fire went off to sleep beneath the tree. And Mahadeav only ordered everyone about, not bothering to do anything himself. Meanwhile the thief had returned to the tree. He noticed the family members were greedy and selfish. They would never be able to put up a fight together. Then, Mahadev and his wife stared the conversation that they had rehearsed carefully. Mahadev's wife said, "Everything is ready. But what shall we eat?" Mahadev raised his hands upwards and said, "Don't worry. He is watching all this from above. He will help us." At this, the thief jumped down from the tree, knife in hand. Seeing him, everyone started running helter skelter to save themselves.

  The thief stole everything. Mahadev and his family had to return to the village empty-handed, having lost all the jewellery and gold they had taken with them.

  Which of the following cannot be said about Mihir's family?

  I. They respected and obeyed Mihir.

Mihir?s wife too thought the same for, she said to her husband, "Everything is ready. But what shall we eat?" Mihir raised his hands to heaven and said, "Don't worry. He is watching all this from above. He will help us," The, thief was worried. He had seen that the family was large and worked well together. Surely they did not know he was hiding in the branches'? He decided to make a quick get, away. He climbed down swiftly when they were not looking and ran for his life. But, he left behind his bundle of stolen jewels and money, which dropped down into Mihir's lap. He opened it and jumped with joy when he saw the contents. The family promptly gathered its belongings and returned to the village. There was great excitement when they told everyone how they got rich. Mahadev thought this was a nice quick way to earn some money! He commanded his family to pack some clothes and they set off as if on a journey. They stopped under the same tree and Mahadev started commanding everyone as Mihir had done. But no one in his family was willing to obey orders. They were used to having servants wait on them-so the one who went to the river to fetch water had a nice bath. The one who went to gather wood for the fire went off to sleep beneath the tree. And Mahadeav only ordered everyone about, not bothering to do anything himself. Meanwhile the thief had returned to the tree. He noticed the family members were greedy and selfish. They would never be able to put up a fight together. Then, Mahadev and his wife stared the conversation that they had rehearsed carefully. Mahadev's wife said, "Everything is ready. But what shall we eat?" Mahadev raised his hands upwards and said, "Don't worry. He is watching all this from above. He will help us." At this, the thief jumped down from the tree, knife in hand. Seeing him, everyone started running helter skelter to save themselves.

  The thief stole everything. Mahadev and his family had to return to the village empty-handed, having lost all the jewellery and gold they had taken with them.

  Passage - III

  Cultural is the cultivation of a plant or garden, not the eradication of its roots, it is an understanding of the roots and seeds, their patient care and instructed nourishment. Culture is not knowledge, nor is it art, still less is its acquaintance with literature and art. By culture I mean first of all what the anthropologists mean; the way of life of a particular people living together in one place. That culture is made visible in their arts, in their social system, in their habits and customs, in their religion. It is an aggregate of customs, institutions, manners, standards, tastes, morals and beliefs. Now these are transmitted rather by the family than by the school, hence when family life fails to play its part, we must expect our culture to deteriorate. It is a delusion to think that the maladies of the modern world can be put right by a system of instruction. On the contrary, universal education, by lowering standards, morals and tastes to a common denominator and by sharpening the with rather than disciplining character, tends to break down existing check and balances. Education should be the drawing forth of potential values, it should not be the destruction of the safeguards that tradition places around young egos naturally inclined to willful and precarious flights.

  Passage - IV

  There are some men who seem to be always on the lookout for trouble and, they are seldom disappointed. Listening to such men one would think that this world is one of the stormiest and most disagreeable places. Yet, after all it is not such a bad place and the difficulty is often in the man who, is too thin - skinned.

  Passage - V

  Hiuen Tsang the famous Chinese traveller, visited mdia in the seventh century. He travelled extensively in India. He stayed for some time in Kanouj, at the court of the great emperor Harashavardhana. He has left for us graphic descriptions of the pomp and ceremony of the royal regalia and the lavish celebrations of Hindu festivals. During one particular festivity at the confluence of the Ganga and the Yamuna, many princes would come to participate in the giving of gits to the poor and the orphans. Oh, how the footsteps of pilgrims and the cries of the poor and the needy have resounded across the length and breadth of the land from the most distant times ! How those ancient banks of sacred rivers have heard voices of collective prayers and the shouts of joy of periodic pilgrims! If only the mute stones and steps could tell all the thrills, they have witnessed, volumes of stirring stories would flow from them.

  Hiuen Tsang spent a long period at the famed Nalanda, the great centre of learning in classical India where students by the hundreds flocked from all over India and abroad. It had nourished in the remote century of Buddha and Mahavira and now when the Chinese pilgrim-visited the place it seems to have been still full of life arid intellectual vigour. For this is what the pilgrim notes. "The day, is not sufficient for asking and answering profound questions. From morning till night they engage in discussions, the old and the voting mutually help one another." If such is not an ideal place of learning, then what is?

  Why are the writings of Hiuen Tsang considered very important?
  A)
   He was the first foreign visitor                               
  done clear
  B)
  We get details about the lifestyle of classical India
  done clear
  C)
