Q1. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

Perhaps the concept of a holiday is as old as the creation of man itself. The Bible tells that God created the world for 6 days and took rest on the 7th day. Since God created man in his image, man also thought it worthwhile to earmark one day of the week as a day for rest. Apart from religious considerations, holidays have always charmed mankind in all countries and all cultures of the world. One day weekend or two days weekend in a week may be inventions of the modern man in an industrial age, but days of festivities following the sowing or harvesting of crops are regularly enjoyed by agricultural communities since times immemorial. Many dances and folk songs have evolved around such festivities. When we mention holidays we usually refer to summer, autumn and winter vacation enjoyed by the students, or weekends or  pans of leave enjoyed by working people away from their day- to- day work. Such holidays work as a wonderful tonic to fight mental fatigue. Torn away from the workplace, the mind finds rest and recuperation in pleasant and congenial surroundings. Some people  ndertake excursions to pleasure resorts on hills or beaches while others visit places of historical importance or pilgrimage. Still others visit their  elations or friends to renew ties and bonds of affection and to spend time together in groups or play. Whatever be the mode of spending holidays if it is spent in open, healthy surroundings and in company of agreeable people, it surely breaks the monotony of daily existence and refreshes the mind. It induces a sense of enthusiasm and vitality in one’s outlook. If imaginatively planned, holidays can be a source of great pleasure and excitement. Most of the city dwellers lead a regimented and mechanical existence shuttling between place of work or study or their residence. They have very few intimate friends or relations to mix with and get emotional sustenance from. Holidays provide an excellent opportunity to visit intimate friends and relatives. Picnics and excursions can not only bring you relaxation but can also cement the bonds of affection by engaging in collective activities. During holidays, you can change the routine of waking up and going to sleep. Summer noons can be spent partly in catching up with your sleeping time. You can get up early and go for long walks if possible by the river- side or near some park. You may like to spend part of your holidays in planned inactivity. You can while away time looking at flowers or birds. You may read fiction for pure delight.
