SECTION A : READING 
 
1. Read the passage given below and answe r the questions that follow:
 
1. A forgotten hilly district in northern Orissa, known more for its rough roads and grinding poverty, has produced at least 22 world-class hockey players for India and dozens who play at the national level. On the Athens Olympic team were three men from Sundergarh-Captain Dilip Tirkey, fellow defender William Xalco and midfielder, Ignace Tirkey. Ignace‟s younger brother plays in the national junior team.
 
2. The hockey hour is upon the villagers and a local tournament is about to begin. The prize is a fattened goat or khasi- after which the tournament is named and it is through hundreds of events like this that Sundergarh‟s most unusual heritage stays alive. An hour before the match, the field is overrun by dozens of little boys-all wanting to be Dilips between five and eight years, their faces shining and their sweaty little bodies a blur as they run barefoot on the rocky
ground. Some have barely entered the village school but they know their hockey. In this tribal belt a child‟s first toy is a hockey stick. Not just the number of bullocks he owns judges an eligible groom, but also by the goals he scores. Weddings are solemnized with an over field face-off between families.
 
3. In 2003, the 1500 tribal villages of Sundergarh hosted over 200 hockey tournaments. “We play hockey at the drop of a hat,” laughs former Olympian, Michael Kindo. “And sometimes, even when the hat doesn‟t drop.” Nobody can pinpoint exactly when and how hockey came to Sundergarh but scholars believe that it was the Christian missionaries who introduced it as they swarmed into the tribal region in the 1860s. Whenever schools were set up, they included hockey as an extra-curricular activity. This sport was introduced, as everything required for the sport was available in the forests. Even today, youngsters in the interiors of the district make their own hockey sticks by bending a bamboo shoot, binding one end to create a curve and  heating it over fire. Youngsters in Lulkidihi village, which has produced the largest number of stars, make a ball by wrapping cloth around a wood apple.
 
4. Kindo believes that there is a very good reason Sundergarh has taken to the sport because members of the 36 tribes that make up the district have the built the temperament and even, he says, the DNA. These descendants of ancient hunter-gatherers are said to have immense stamina, keen eyesight and patience. “We tribals are short, but we have strong legs and can stay bent over a stick for hours,” says Kindo. In a sport that focuses on a small, fast-moving ball, the sharper the eyesight the better.
 
5. However, only about 5 percent of the state‟s budget is set apart for sports. Facilities at the government run Panposh Academy are dismal. Kindo hopes to have more stadia, local and civic tournaments. Hockey is to Sundergarh what cricket is to rest of India- a passion, an aspirational sport that helps the tribals get jobs and earn a living.
 
1. What is Sundergarh known more for than hockey?
 
2. How is a hockey stick viewed by a child in that particular village?
 
3. How does hockey play an important role in choosing an eligible groom?
 
4. When and how hockey came to Sundergarh according to scholars?
 
5. How do the youngsters make hockey sticks and balls?
 
6. What are the special qualities that the tribals have, that contr ibute to being good at hockey?
 
7. What is the complaint of the players against the State Government?
 
8. In what way does hockey help the triblas?
