SECTION A – READING 
 
1. Read the following passage carefully. 
 
School used to be all about writing, whether it was the exercise books we wrote in or the notes we passed around. But not anymore. Now it‟s all about typing. Learning your QWERTY is almost as important as learning your ABC.
 
So, when my daughter came home last year with cursive handwriting homework, I was nonplussed. Cursive writing was originally developed to make it easier for children to write with a quill. By joining up the letters, it kept the quill on the parchment and minimized ink blots. But my daughter writes with a laptop.
 
The research suggests that the process of writing information down on paper, by hand, has a more direct effect on the formation of memories in the learning process than typing. Taking notes in class is still the most effective way to learn. It‟s a better wa y to store the skills for written language in a child‟s brain than pressing keys.
 
But that doesn‟t mean that one should ditch computers. Children should be taught to touch-type early on. Learning is aided by the physical act of writing. Authors often write their first draft by hand. Whether it‟s to do with the pace of thought, or some kind of stimulation the physical act has, we don‟t know. But it‟s a fact.
 
The French would doubtless agree. They love their handwriting. Teachers in France believe that fluency with a pen „unlocks the mind‟ and they spend more time on writing than reading between the ages of three and eight.
 
We teach children the formation of letters and the appropriate joining strokes. But after a few years we leave them on their own devices, just as the written workload starts to increase. That‟s when the bad habits set in.
 
But as proper writing becomes rarer, spending some time improving your handwriting is a good investment. In the future, sending a handwritten letter will be a display of affluence and class, which is why the sale of fountain pens is reviving.
 
Answer the following questions briefly.
 
a) Why is handwriting not given much importance today?
 
b) Why was the author nonplussed when his daughter came home with cursive handwriting homework?
 
c) Why was Cursive writing introduced?
 
d) How is taking down notes better than typing?
 
e) What makes the „bad habit‟ set in?
 
f) What does the revival in the sale of fountain pen show?
 
g) Although children are taught to write at an early age, they do not have legible handwriting when they grow older as _____________________________.
 
h) Learning your QWERTY means _________________________.
 
2. Read the following passage carefully.
 
When Rajat, a student studying for the Class X Board examination approached Dr. Anoop Mishra of the Fortis Hospital, who had put on six kilograms, during preparation leave, for advice, he was told that the lack of physical activity was the primary cause of weight gain. He further advised him to follow a few significant tips.
 
As Rajat‟s appetite had gone up and he had begun to snack frequently, Dr. Mishra asked him to give up the habit and have small meals at frequent intervals. He was also told not to skip a meal. In case, he still felt the urge to snack, he was advised to have sprouts and salads in lieu of snacks loaded with fat and eat fruit in place of snacks with refined sugars. To avoid the temptation of munching on biscuits, chips and namkeens, he was advised to munch carrots, cucumber and ruits.
 
To keep up his metabolism, and be able to concentrate for longer hours on his books, he was advised to avoid heavy meals, especially late at night. He needs to expose his body to sunlight for at least fifteen minutes a day to imbibe Vitamin D, a good vitamin for regulation of weight and also for the brain.
 
When it came to cold drinks, Rajat was advised to drink toned milk and nimbu pani to help him get rid of untimely hunger pangs. Also green teas he was told was a metabolic booster and could be tried out.
 
As far as his study routine was concerned, Dr. Mishra advised him to take breaks frequently instead of sitting for long hours at a stretch as that could cause headaches. In case he did get a headache it was necessary to learn what triggers it, and then try and avoid those things. The lighting of the room and placement of the chair was also important. Above all, Rajat was advised to take regular exercise, as all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
 
Answer the following questions briefly.
 
a) Why did Rajat approach Dr Mishra?
 
b) What was Rajat advised to do instead of snacking?
 
c) What substitute was Rajat advised in place of snacks?
 
d) How was he to overcome the temptation of eating biscuits and namkeens?
