Reading Skills (20 Marks)
Question 1.
Read the following passage carefully. (10)
(1) Nuclear energy is a form of energy released from the nucleus, the core of atoms, made up of protons and neutrons. This source of energy can be produced in two ways: fission – when nuclei of atoms split into several parts – or fusion – when nuclei fuse together.
(2) The nuclear energy harnessed around the world today to produce electricity through nuclear fission, while technology to generate electricity from fusion is at the R&D phase.
(3) Nuclear fission is a reaction where the nucleus of an atom splits into two or more smaller nuclei, while releasing energy. For instance, when hit by a neutron, the nucleus of an atom of Uranium-235 splits into two smaller nuclei, for example a barium nucleus and a krypton nucleus and two or three neutrons. These extra neutrons will hit other surrounding Uranium-235 atoms, which will also split and generate additional neutrons in a multiplying effect, thus generating a chain reaction in a fraction of a second.
(4) Each time the reaction occurs, there is a release of energy in the form of heat and radiation. The heat can be converted into electricity in a nuclear power plant, similarly to how heat from fossil fuels such as coal, gas and oil is used to generate electricity.
(5) Inside nuclear power plants, nuclear reactors and their equipment contain and control the chain reactions, most commonly fuelled by Uranium-235, to produce heat through fission. The heat warms the reactor’s cooling agent, typically water, to produce steam. The steam is then channelled to spin turbines, activating an electric generator to create low-carbon electricity.
(6) Uranium is a metal that can be found in rocks all over the world. Uranium has several naturally occurring isotopes, which are forms of an element differing in mass and physical properties but with the same chemical properties. Uranium has two primordial isotopes: Uranium-238 and Uranium-235. Uranium-238 makes up the majority of the uranium in the world but cannot produce a fission chain reaction, while Uranium-235 can be used to produce energy by fission but constitutes less than 1 percent of the world’s uranium.
(7) To make natural uranium more likely to undergo fission, it is necessary to increase the amount of Uranium-235 in a given sample through a process called uranium enrichment. Once the uranium is enriched, it can be used effectively as nuclear fuel in power plants for three to five years, after which it is still radioactive and has to be disposed of following stringent guidelines to protect people and the environment. Used fuel, also referred to as spent fuel, can also be recycled into other types of fuel for use as new fuel in’ special nuclear power plants. :
Answer the following questions based on the above passage.
(i) What is nuclear energy? Explain in 40 words. (2)

Question 2.
Read the following passage carefully.
(1) Forest fire is a major cause of injury and loss to forests. With the population increase, the frequency and subsequent damage due to forest fires is increasing day by day. The impact of the fire is diverse on the forest ecosystem. Besides directly damaging the forest trees, the fire also adversely affects forest regeneration, microclimate, soil erosion and wildlife etc.
(2) Very heavy fire, frequent forest fire and occasional fire damage is noticed only over 0.84 percent, 0.14 percent, 5.16 percent and 43.06 percent of the forest areas, respectively. Only 6.17 percent of the Indian forests are subjected to severe fire damage annually. In absolute terms, out of around 63 million hectares of forests, an area of around 3.73 million hectares can be presumed to be affected by fires annually.
(3) In most of the cases, the forest fire causes retrogression of forest vegetation. Forest fire is one of the major degenerating factors, which extensively damages the growing stock and its generations and makes the area vulnerable to erosion. It has wide-ranging adverse ecological, economic and social implications.
(4) Forest fires in India are generally ground fires. About 35 million hectares of forest area is affected by fires annually. About 95 percent of the forest fires are caused by human beings, especially to promote new flush of grasses, collection of minor forest produce or to prepare land for shifting cultivation. While statistical data on fire loss in India are very weak, it is estimated that the proportion of the forest areas prone to forest fire annually ranges from 33% to over 90% in different states.

Answer:
A few days ago I went to Mumbai Central Station to board the train to Ahmedabad. As the train was late, I waited on the platform. Finding me alone, a woman in a white saree approached me. She spoke very affectionately to me and persuaded me to accompany her to the refreshment room for lunch. She reminded me very much of my mother who had died years ago.
In the refreshment room I met an old classmate of mine having food with his mother. When I introduced myself to my classmate’s mother, the lady accompanying me introduced herself as my mother. Though this was a surprise for me, I did not object, as I felt very comfortable with her. We finished our meal quickly and went back to the platform. The incoming train was just pulling into the station. As the old lady was also going to Ahmedabad, I had a wonderful journey in her company. It was the most memorable day of my life after my mother had passed away.

Dear Diary
I celebrated my birthday last Sunday and missed my Grandpa a lot. I was sad that he was not present there.
But his valuable gift was certainly with me. He sent me the hill series of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter books all the way from Jabalpur, which I received a day before my birthday. I always wanted to have the full series of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter books. It is really amazing that Grandpa fulfilled my long cherished desire and sent this valuable series to me on my special day. I have seen all the Harry Potter movies, but reading the books is a real delight. Besides, Harry Potter, the boy-wizard, is my favourite fictional character. I was so excited that I started .reading the first part of the first book last Saturday itself. It was the best present ever. I can’t wait to see Grandpa soon so that I can thank him in person.

Question 5.
Attempt any one from (A) and (B) given below.
(A) You spent an entire day without electricity. Describe the experience in 100-120 words.
Answer:
I cannot imagine my life without electricity. It is a necessity these days. During my summer vacations, we experienced a nightmare when we had to spend almost 30 hours without electricity. I had gone to Delhi to my grandparents’ house for summer holidays. It was a hot and humid day in the month of July. We woke up in the middle of the night. Our throats were dry with thirst and the body was full of sweat. We realised that there was no electricity. Our parents assured us that it would resume by morning.
My grandmother even suggested that we could sleep on the roof which was airy. But to our dismay, we were greeted by so many mosquitoes! We could not get peace there either! So we returned to the rooms which were like a hot oven. In the morning there was no water supply and so we could not even bathe. Everyone was so worried. My aunt and my mother cooked some food for us but no one wanted to eat due to the heat. My uncle eventually took us for some kulfi which gave some relief. By evening, we were drained out and prayed to god to bring the fans to life. However, it was not so and we had to go to bed without it. We were so exhausted and just fell on the bed lifelessly. It was the most torturous day of my life.
(B) Think about a time when you volunteered for a community service project. Describe the project, your role, and the impact it had on the community in 100-120 words.
Answer:
Last summer, I engaged in a community cleanup campaign orchestrated by a local environmental organisation. The initiative’s objective was to restore our neighbourhood park and raise awareness about environmental conservation. My task involved collaborating with fellow volunteers, equipped with gloves, trash bags, and litter pickers, to meticulously comb through the park for any litter. Together, we picked up litter, erased graffiti, and cut overgrown vegetation.
Our collective efforts not only restored the park, but also served as a catalyst for community engagement. Families that lived nearby enthusiastically joined our campaign, and bystanders expressed appreciation for our dedication. The transformation of the park was evident as it gleamed with newfound cleanliness, fostering a ^ welcoming environment for all.

Question 10.
Answer any one of the following two questions in 100-120 words each. (6)
(i) There comes a stage in the life of children when they find their opinion to be changing about their parents, especially regarding fathers. Elaborate this statement on the basis of the lesson ‘The Little Girl’.
Answer:
‘Change is the law of nature’. Everything has to change with the passage of time. The only thing that is ermanent is change itself. In the lesson, Kezia, the little girl, initially used to be afraid of her father as he would often scold her. However, due to her mother’s illness, her father looked after her for that time. During this . period, she saw another side to her father. He would take her in his arms fondly, laid down beside her and even tried to narrate a story.
All this made Kezia realise that her father was not as bad as she thought. He had a kind and loving heart but for the circumstances, could not express his love frequently. Therefore, just like Kezia, all children come to a realisation that circumstances force their parents, specially fathers to change or at least . control their behaviour, nature, attitude or overall personality.
(ii) What does the Lake Isle of Innisfree stand for the poet? Is it merely an escapism or a revolt against the superficiality of urban life?
Answer:
The Irish ‘Lake Isle of Innisfree’ stands for pure natural beauty, pleasure and peace. It provides a stark contrast to the hectic and artificial life in a city. Amidst the natural surroundings, the poet wants to build a small cabin.
He wants to grow beans and build a hive for honey bees. The sounds, sights and music that he enjoys there, haunt him. The Isle transcends peace and tranquility as there are no more sounds of cars and vehicles on the roads. Here what he hears is the sound of honeybees and crickets. Even standing on the roadway or on the gray pavement in the city, he hears the low sounds of the lake water lapping by the shore in the core of his heart. It is escapism as well as a revolt against the hectic and artificial life of the city.
Question 11.
Answer any one of the following two questions in 100-120 words each. (6)
(i) Assume yourself to be the Happy Prince and write the diary entry of the day when his statue was raised and he saw the misery of the poor people of his city in about 100-120 words.

New York City
Dear Diary
A few days ago my statue was raised. It is located high above the city. It is made of gold, ruby, and diamonds like the way I lived my life. They used sapphires to make my blue eyes. But, I’m terribly depressed because the people in my country are suffering.
I was feeling quite sad when a kind sparrow suddenly appeared. He took my rubies, sapphires and gold to help the needy, like the seamstress and the playwright. At that moment, I felt much better.
After giving away my gold and jewels, the authorities thought I looked ‘shabby’ so today, they have decided to pull down my statue.
But I don’t mind. I hope the jewels helped lessen people’s misery and hope all the people in my kingdom lead a happy life.

(ii) “A child longs for toys, sweets and other things but not at the cost of his parents”. Comment.
Answer:
Before separation from his parents, the child was happy and excited. On the way to the fair, he was attracted and enjoyed the beauties of nature. In the fair, he was fascinated by sweets, colourful balloons, and garland of Gulmohar among many things. While moving in the fair, the presence of his parents made him feel secure and so he does not even wait for them when he demands those things.
However, his entire cheerful and playful mood was converted to anxiety and fear as soon as he realised that he got separated from them. He started crying continuously and got lost in the large crowd gathering near the shrine to search for them. When a kind man rescued him and tried to comfort him, his only concern was his parents. All the things like toys, sweets, balloons lose the value in his eyes in the absence of his parents. He refused all those things that he wanted earlier and wanted only his parents.
