• He was disappointed with his debut performance at the 1956 Melbourne Olympics. *1 returned to India, chastened by my poor performance in Melbourne. I had been so excited by the prospects of being part of the Indian Olympics team, but, hadn’t realized how strong and professional the competition would be. My success in India had filled me with a false sense of pride and it was only when I was on the track that I saw how inconsequential my talents were when pitted against superbly fit and seasoned athletes. It was then that I understood what competition actually meant, and that if I wanted to succeed on the international arena, I must be prepared to test my mettle against the best athletes in the world.” 
• Then he decided to make sprinting the sole focus of his life. “Running had thus become my God, my religion and my beloved”. My life during those two years was governed by strict rules and regulations and a self-imposed penance. Every morning I would rise at the crack of dawn, get into my sports kit and dash off to the track, where I would run two or three miles cross-country in the company of my coach.” 
• On how he pushed himself through the tough days of vigorous training. “I practiced so strenuously that often I was drained of all energy, and there were times when I would increase my speed to such an extent that after my rounds, I would vomit blood or drop-down down unconscious through sheer exercise. My doctors and coaches warned me, asked me to slow down to maintain my health and equilibrium but my determination was too strong to give up. My only focus was to become the best athlete in the world. But then images of    a    packed    stadium    filled    with    cheering    spectators, wildly applauding me as I crossed the finishing line, would flash across my mind and I would start again, encouraged by visions of victory.”

However, my parents, both of whom come from impoverished backgrounds and neither of whom had been to college, took the view that my overactive imagination was an amusing personal quirk that would never pay a mortgage or secure a pension. 

A writer from the age of six, with two unpublished novels in the * drawer, she was stuck on a train when Harry walked into her mind fully formed. She spent the next five years constructing the plots of seven books, one for every year of his secondary school life. 

Rowling says she started writing the first book, Harry’ Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, in Portugal, where she was teaching English. 

At first nobody wanted to publish Harry Potter.  She was told that plot was too complex. Refusing to compromise, she found a publisher. 

n 1997 Rowling received her first royalty cheque. By book three, she had sky rocketed to the top of the publishing world. A row of zeroes appeared on the author’s bank balance and her life was turned upside down. Day and night she had journalists knocking on the unanswered door of her flat. 

Rowling’s quality control has become legendary, as her obsession with accuracy. She’s thrilled with Stephen Fry’s taped version of the books and outraged that an Italian dust jacket showed Harry minus his glasses. “Don’t they understand that the glasses are the clue to his vulnerability.”

Q. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow:

India Covid-19 numbers explained

1. With novel Coronavirus spreading rapidly all over the country, there are only three states right now, Meghalaya, Sikkim and Andaman and Nicobar Islands, that have less than 1,000 people infected with the disease.

2. Lakshadweep, of course, still hasn’t reported even a single case till now, the only region in India entirely free of the epidemic.

3. Otherwise, even the relatively smaller states now have significantly large spread of the disease. Goa, for example, has seen more than 7,000 of its people infected by the virus till now. Tripura has over 5,500 cases, while Manipur has more than 3,000, and Nagaland a little less than 2,500. Puducherry has more than 4,000 cases, while even Daman and Diu has over 1,300 people infected.

4. And in each of these states, the numbers are rising at a fast pace, at a rate higher than the national level. The infections had initially reached these states in the first and second week of May, when the lockdown was relaxed for the first time to enable people stuck in different parts of the country to return to their native places.

5. After a period of very slow growth, the number of cases have begun to rise rapidly in the last one month. In Goa, for example, the total number of infected people has nearly doubled in the last 15 days. Same has happened in Puducherry, as well.

6. Tuesday was one of those rare occasions when the number of active cases in the country, those who are yet to recover from the disease, went down compared to the previous day. That is because the number of recoveries, combined with the number of deaths, exceeded the new cases that were detected on Tuesday.

7. With over 52,500 new cases detected in the country, the total number of infections crossed 19 lakh, out of `which 12.82 lakh people have recovered from the disease. The number of dead is now close to 40,000.

8. The number of recoveries on Tuesday was the highest-ever for a single day. More than 51,700 people were declared to have been recovered. Three days earlier, the number of recoveries had crossed 50,000 for the first time, but in the next two days the number had fallen to much lower levels.

Case based unseen passage: 1 urban farming revolution.

Urban farming, also known as urban agriculture, is gaining traction in metropolitan areas around the world. As cities grow and open spaces diminish, residents are finding innovative ways to cultivate food and greenery within their urban environments. One such method is rooftop farming, where unused rooftops are transformed into productive green spaces. Another emerging trend is the use of hydroponics, a method of growing plants without soil, using mineral nutrient solutions in an aqueous solvent.

The primary objective of urban farming is not just food production but also ecological balance. By integrating farming into urban planning, architects and city planners aim to reduce the heat island effect, improve air quality, and promote biodiversity . These farms become a haven for city dwellers, offering a respite from the concrete jungle and a chance to reconnect with nature .

However, urban farming is not without its challenges. Water management, soil quality, and pest control are some of the issues that urban farmers face. Additionally, the initial setup costs for hydroponic systems can be high, and there’s a learning curve involved in mastering this method. Despite these challenges, the benefits of urban farming, both environmental and social, are undeniable. It fosters community engagement, promotes healthy eating, and reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting food over long distances.

Case Based Unseen Passage: 2 The Rise of Solar Cities

As the world grapples with the challenges of climate change, cities globally are turning to renewable energy sources to reduce their carbon footprint. Solar energy, harnessed from the sun’s rays, is emerging as a leading solution. Across urban landscapes, solar panels are becoming a common sight, not just on rooftops but also integrated into building designs and public infrastructure.

The primary motivation behind this shift to solar energy is twofold: environmental responsibility and economic viability. Solar energy reduces the reliance on fossil fuels, thereby decreasing greenhouse gas emissions. This transition not only combats global warming but also ensures cleaner air, benefiting urban residents’ health.

However, the journey to becoming a solar city is not without hurdles. Initial installation costs, ensuring consistent energy supply during cloudy days, and the need for efficient energy storage solutions are some challenges cities face. But with technological advancements, such as the development of high-capacity batteries and more efficient solar cells, these challenges are gradually being overcome.

Moreover, solar cities are not just about energy. They represent a broader vision of sustainability, encompassing green transportation, waste management, and water conservation. The holistic approach ensures a better quality of life, fostering community well-being and resilience against climate adversities.

Case Based Unseen Passage: 3 The Digital Detox Movement

In an era dominated by screens and constant connectivity, a counter-movement is gaining momentum: the digital detox. This movement encourages individuals to take intentional breaks from their digital devices, aiming to reduce stress, improve mental well-being, and foster real-world connections.

The primary drive behind the digital detox movement is the growing realization of the adverse effects of excessive screen time. Studies have shown that prolonged exposure to screens can disrupt sleep patterns, reduce attention spans, and even contribute to feelings of loneliness and depression. By consciously unplugging, individuals can recalibrate their relationship with technology and rediscover the joys of face-to-face interactions.

However, embracing a digital detox is not without its challenges. In a world where work, social interactions, and even leisure often revolve around digital platforms, disconnecting can feel daunting. There’s also the fear of missing out (FOMO) on important updates or news. Yet, with structured breaks and setting clear boundaries, many find the transition to be rejuvenating.

Case Based Unseen Passage: 4 The Revival of Traditional Crafts

In a world rapidly advancing towards automation and mass production, there’s a growing appreciation for traditional crafts. Handmade products, from pottery to textiles, are being celebrated for their uniqueness, quality, and the stories they tell.

The resurgence of traditional crafts is driven by multiple factors. Firstly, consumers are becoming more conscious of the environmental impact of mass-produced goods. Handcrafted items, often made from sustainable materials, offer an eco-friendly alternative. Secondly, there’s a desire to preserve cultural heritage. Traditional crafts are a testament to a community’s history, skills, and artistic expression.

However, sustaining traditional crafts in a modern economy is challenging. Artisans often struggle with competition from cheaper, machine-made alternatives. Additionally, the younger generation, lured by urban opportunities, is less inclined to take up age-old crafts. Yet, with the right support, such as training, marketing, and access to global markets, these crafts can thrive.

Communities and organizations worldwide are stepping up to support artisans. Craft fairs, workshops, and online platforms are providing artisans with platforms to showcase their work and connect with a broader audience. Moreover, consumers are willing to pay a premium for handcrafted goods, recognizing the skill and effort involved.

Case Based Unseen Passage: 5 Urban Farming – A Green Revolution

In the heart of bustling cities, a green revolution is taking root. Urban farming, the practice of cultivating, processing, and distributing food in urban areas, is gaining traction as a sustainable solution to the challenges of food security and environmental degradation.

The appeal of urban farming lies in its multifaceted benefits. For starters, it reduces the carbon footprint associated with transporting food from rural farms to urban markets. Fresh produce can be harvested and consumed within the same locality, ensuring maximum freshness and nutritional value. Moreover, urban farming utilizes innovative techniques like vertical farming and hydroponics, which use less land and water compared to traditional farming methods.

However, urban farming is not without its challenges. Space constraints in cities mean that urban farms are often smaller and yield less produce. Additionally, urban pollution can affect the quality of the crops. But with technological advancements and community involvement, these challenges are being addressed.

Governments and organizations are recognizing the potential of urban farming. Initiatives are being launched to provide training, resources, and funding to budding urban farmers. Schools are incorporating urban farming into their curriculum, teaching students the importance of sustainable agriculture.

Why do one Children need Worksheets for Practice ?

It is very old saying that one can build a large building if the foundation is strong and sturdy. This holds true for studies also. Worksheets are essential and help students in the in-depth understanding of fundamental concepts. Practicing solving a lot of worksheets, solving numerous types of questions on each topic holds the key for success. Once basic concepts and fundamentals have been learnt, the next thing is to learn their applications by practicing problems. Practicing the problems helps us immensely to gauge how well we have understood the concepts.

There are times when students just run through any particular topic with casual awareness there by missing out on a few imperative “between the lines” concepts. Such things are the major causes of weak fundamental understandings of students. So in such cases Worksheets act as a boon and critical helpful tool which gauges the in-depth understanding of children highlighting doubts and misconceptions, if any.

Worksheets classifies the important aspects of any topic or chapter taught in the class in a very easy manner and increases the awareness amongst students.When students try to solve a worksheet they get to understand what are the key important factors which needs the main focus.Sometimes it happens that due to shortage of time all the major points of any particular topic gets skipped in the class or teacher rushes through , due to shortage of time. A worksheet thus provides a framework for the entire chapter and can help covering those important aspects which were rushed in the class and ensure that students record and understand all key items.

In a class of its say 40 students howsoever teacher tries to be active and work towards making each student understand whatever she has to teach in the class but there are always some students who tend to be in their own world and they wander in their thoughts.Worksheets which are provided timely to all the students, causes them to focus on the material at hand. it’s simply the difference between passive and active learning. Worksheets of this type can be used to introduce new material, particularly material with many new definitions and terms.

Worksheets help students be focussed and attentive in the class because they know after the class is over they will be assigned a worksheet which they need to solve so if they miss or skip any point in the class they may not be able to solve the worksheet completely and thereby lose reputation in the class.

Often students revise the chapter at home reading their respective textbooks. Thus more often than not they do miss many important points. Worksheets thus can be used intentionally to help guide student’s to consult textbooks. Having students write out responses encourages their engagement with the textbooks, the questions chosen indicate areas on which to focus. Explicitly discussing the worksheets and why particular questions are asked helps students reflect on what is important.

Case-Based Unseen Factual Passage | Unseen Passage with MCQ

Read the passage given below (10 Marks)

1 The North-East of India is a melting pot of variegated cultural mosaic of people and races, an ethnic tapestry of many hues and shades. Yet, these states are lesser explored as compared to the rest of the country. The new generations of travellers who are ‘money rich and time poor’ are increasingly looking for unique experiences a phenomenon called the emergence of the ‘experience economy’. For this new and growing breed of tourists, the Northeast with its variety and uniqueness holds immense attraction.

2 A study conducted in 2020 by Dr Sherap Bhutia, revealed that the foreign tourist arrival in the Northeast increased from 37,380 persons in 2005 to 118,552 in 2014. The overall growth rate of tourists (both domestic and foreign) in the Northeast was as high as 26.44% during 2005-06. A high and positive growth of 12.53% was registered in foreign tourist visits to the North-East States of India during 2012 from 2011, which further rose to register a growth of 27.93% in 2013 from 2012.

Unseen Passage for Class 9 with Answers PDF

Read the passage carefully and answer the given questions that follow :

1. Celebrities advertising products are nothing new. In fact it has been part of our lives. Back in the 2000‘s you could not sit through a commercial break without seeing the teen pop icon of that time, Britney Spears , endorsing Pepsi. The Pepsi legacy was later continued by the most famous celebrity we know of, Beyonce. She was paid millions to promote the carbonated drink which outraged health advocacy groups. Many concerned people questioned her ethics as to why she was supporting a drink that plays a major role in causing obesity.

2. With the growing importance of social media in a shopper‘s purchase journey, companies are evolving and stepping up the endorsement game across different channels. With celebrities vouching for promoting their products, brands can increase awareness, trust and familiarity, which are important variables in the purchase making decision process.

3. Consumers feel more sympathetic towards a brand, if their products are promoted by a celebrity they admire or relate to. It is a simple psychological effect. People believe that purchasing a product that is promoted by a celebrity they admire, will allow them to emulate the celebrity‘s desired traits or attract similar people into their lives. They will associate the celebrity‘s success, beauty aesthetic skills etc. with a particular product.

4. A research by Nelson conducted in 2015 broke down the level of trust in advertising formats by different generations. It found that celebrity endorsements resonate more strongly with Generation Z (ages 15 to 20) and Millennial (ages 21-34), audiences. Brands are taking advantage of that by increasingly utilizing the social media communities of celebrities. Social media is a way for consumers, particularly those of younger demographics to enlarge and build intimate connections with the celebrities they follow, making the place for these celebrities to plug a company or a product on their personal social media accounts.

5. While celebrity endorsements certainly help to attract consumers, its direct influence on the consumers purchasing decisions is inconclusive. As consumers are becoming better educated and have faster access to information, blind faith in celebrity endorsement is beginning to wane. They will be attracted to a brand because of a celebrity but they will quickly move away if the product does not perform. It is the quality of your product that will keep consumers coming back, not a celebrity link. 6. A brand needs to tell consumers why a product makes sense for them as individuals and what problem they can solve with it, not solely rely on a real-life Barbie doll, athlete or pop culture icon. If they can’t, their products will lose value over time and consumers will be the first one to turn their backs.

On the basis of your understanding of the passage answer the following questions with the help of the given options : 

Question. According to the passage, why are celebrities questioned for brand endorsements? a) For evasion of tax b) For increasing health effects c) For the side effects of using the brand d) For using wrong means to advertise the misleading data.

Question. Big brands started hiring big celebrities to endorse their brands because a) Celebrities have a huge fan following b) It increases awareness , trust and familiarity c) It increases their profit d) To achieve name and fame

Question. What is the psychological effect of celebrity brand endorsements? a) Association of product with celebrity’s desired feature b) People become more sympathetic towards a brand c) Fame factor overrides quality in the product decision making process d) research has not yet been done

Question. Choose the option that lists the correct answer for the following: i) Neerav is a teen who loves watching television. He exceptionally follows everything that his favourite actor does ii) Neelam is a working woman. She follows her favourite actress on social media, and while making a decision she would consider keeping her favourite actress’s choice in her mind.Which category does she fit into? a) Neerav belongs to Gen Z and Neelam is Millennial b) Neerav and Neelam both belong to Gen Z c) Neerav is millennial while Neelam is a Gen X d) Both Neerav and Neelam are millennials

Question. Based on your understanding the passage chooses the option that lists the variables of the decision making. (i) Awareness (ii) Celebrity (iii) Trust (iv) Familiarity (v) Ethics (vi) Knowledge (a) (i) (V) and (VI) (b) (II) (III) and (IV) (C) (I) (II) and )IV) (d) (II) (V) and (VI)

Question. What does the passage claim about brand endorsements and purchase decision making of customers? Answer.  There is no relationship between endorsements and purchase decision making

Comprehension Passages for Class 9

Business activities can be classified as under: Statistical methods play a vital role in major business activities. Commerce and industry in the modern age require a great deal of planning and forecasting of various kinds. Statistics comes to the aid of the business planner in many ways.

1. The producer or the manufacturer has to estimate demand for his goods in the immediate as well as distant future. This is done by market research for which all the steps of statistical methods have to be followed. A cost accountant uses statistical tools to help the producer fix the prices of various commodities.

2. Similarly, the trader—wholesaler or retailer—depends heavily on methods of statistical analysis for finding out solutions to problems regarding buying and selling activities. For profitable trade he must know what the customers want and also how long the demand would last. This is very important for international trade. For this purpose statistics of export-import for various commodities and regions are collected and analysed for decision making.

3. Statistics are equally important for subsidiaries of trade. The banker plays an important role in commerce and industry. He provides finances to the producer and trader. Therefore, he has to forecast when the demand would be high and accordingly decide what amount of reserves he must have. Similarly, he must estimate what amounts would be required by his depositors, otherwise his bank would fail. For this, detailed analysis of money transactions is required where statistical tools are indispensable.

4. Insurance companies function on the basis of estimates of mortality rates, that is life expectations and on this basis of calculated insurance premiums. Accordingly, they decide what proportion of their capital can be invested and what proportion can be kept ready for payments of matured policies.

5. Other public utility bodies, such as the Road transport Companies, the Railways, Advertising concerns, Warehouses, etc., which contribute to commerce in a significant way, also make use of statistical data for their efficient functioning. For instance, they have to determine the extent of demand that would be made on their services and the rates they might fix for the same. In fact, no modern organisation can survive and efficiently function without analysis of the complex factors that influence commerce. For systematic business analysis statistical tools are absolutely essential. Modern business management, therefore, is an activity that requires a great deal of analysis or making proper decisions in the face of a large number of uncertainties. Source: Statistics for Economics—M.N. Shah

Class 9 Solved Unseen Passage

Read the passage carefully:

The choices we make on a daily basis—wearing a seatbelt, lifting heavy objects correctly or purposely staying out of any dangerous situation—can either ensure our safety or bring about potentially harmful circumstances. You and I need to make a decision that we are going to get our lives in order. Exercising self-control, self-discipline and establishing boundaries and borders in our lives are some of the most important things we can do. A life without discipline is one that’s filled with carelessness.

We can think it’s kind of exciting to live life on the edge. We like the image of “Yeah! That’s me! Living on the edge! Woo-hoo!” It’s become a popular way to look at life. But if you see, even highways have lines, which provide margins for our safety while we’re driving. If we go over one side, we’ll go into the ditch. If we cross over the line in the middle, we could get killed. And we like those lines because they help to keep us safe. Sometimes we don’t even realize how lines help to keep us safe. I’m not proud of this, but for the first 20 years of my life at work, I ignored my limits. I felt horrible, physically, most of the time. I used to tell myself “I know I have limits and that I’ve reached them, but I’m going to ignore them and see if or how long I can get by with it.” I ran to doctors, trying to make myself feel better through pills, vitamins, natural stuff and anything I could get my hands on. Some of the doctors would tell me, “It’s just stress.” That just made me mad. I thought stress meant you don’t like what you do or can’t handle life, and I love what I do. But I kept pushing myself, traveling, doing speaking engagements and so on— simply exhausting myself.

Finally, I understood I was living an unsustainable life and needed to make some changes in my outlook and lifestyle. You and I don’t have to be like everyone else or keep up with anyone else. Each of us needs to be exactly the way we are, and we don’t have to apologize for it. We’re not all alike and we need to find a comfort zone in which we can enjoy our lives instead of making ourselves sick with an overload of stress and pressure.

On the basis of understanding of the passage, answer ANY TEN questions from the twelve that follow. 

Question. Which of the characteristics are apt about the writer in the following context: “I know I have limits and that I’ve reached them, but I’m going to ignore them and see if or how long I can get by with it.” ? 1. negligent 2. indecisive 3. spontaneous 4. reckless 5. purposeless 6. patient a) 2 and 5 b) 3 and 6 c) 1 and 4 d) 2 and 3

Question. The reason why living on the edge has become popular, is because of the a) constant need for something different. b) population being much younger. c) exhausting effort to make changes. d) strong tendency to stay within our limits.

Question. The phrase “potentially harmful circumstances” refers to circumstances that can (a) certainly be dangerous. (b) be fairly dangerous. (c) be possibly dangerous. (d) seldom be dangerous.

Question. Choose the option that correctly states the two meanings of ‘outlook’, as used in the passage. 1. A person’s evaluation of life 2. A person’s experiences in life 3. A person’s point of view towards life 4. A person’s regrets in life 5. A person’s general attitude to life a) (1) and (4) b) (2) and (3) c) (3) and (5) d) (4) and (5)

Question. Choose the option that best captures the central idea of the passage from the given quotes. 1. It’s all about quality of life and finding a happy balance between work and friends. 2. To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short. 3. Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance you must keep moving. 4. Balance is not something you find, it’s something you create. a) Option (1) b) Option (2) c) Option (3) d) Option (4)

Question. How does the author explain the importance of discipline and boundaries in our lives? Answer.  lines on the highway.

Question. What is the message conveyed in the last paragraph of the passage? Answer.  Be yourself

Question. Give a suitable title for the passage? Answer.  How much is too much?

Question. What does the author mean when he says, “to get our lives in order”? Answer.  To organize our lives.

Question. Why do we go to the doctors according to the passage? Answer.  To make ourselves feel better through pills, vitamins, natural stuff and anything we could get our hands on.

Unseen Passage for Class 9 with answers pdf

1. As the virus began to spread around the world, some Indians began to return home, to relative safety. When Kerala registered India‘s first COVID-19 case on 30th January, 2020 (IDFC Institute, 2020), the state was prepared. Four days before registering its first case, Government of Kerala (GoK) had already released novel corona virus-specific guidelines that established case definitions, screening and sampling protocol, hospital preparedness and surveillance.

2. Over the weeks that followed, a series of comprehensive measures were rolled out. The rapid screening and quarantining of patients and isolation of their contacts delayed the transmission from imported cases for up to 40 days, until Kerala witnessed its first cluster outbreak in the district of Pathanamthitta. A total of 14 confirmed cases were registered over the two days that followed.

3. Given the early spread of the virus in Kerala, it is commendable that the state had two consecutive days of zero new cases over the 100- day period from the day it registered the first case of COVID- 19. Given its relatively efficient public health care systems, backed by strong socio-economic foundation and the experience of previously handling the Nipah virus in 2018, the State was able to act swiftly. Kerala prepared itself to address the pandemic as early as January. The State followed the time-tested strategy of case identification, isolation, contact tracing and vulnerability mapping in containing the virus.

4. Kerala‘s public healthcare system is decentralized with facilities at the state, district, sub-district,panchayat, and ward level.The field-level staff including health inspectors, ASHA (Accredited Social Health Activists) workers.

5. Coordination at the middle level was largely done by the District Collectors who worked in close coordination with the District Medical Officers and the district-level heads of the police. One of the flagship measures adopted by the State was the development of COVID First Line Treatment Centers and COVID-19 Care Centers.

6. Local testing labs, district-wise allocations and, later, walk-in sample kiosks, allowed Kerala to quickly scale up testing capacities and, over time, conduct mass screenings and serological tests.

Based on your understanding of the passage, answer ANY FIVE questions from the six given below.

Question. What is the purpose of the passage? Answer.  The passage wishes to show that the spread of any virus can be controlled with proper preventive measures.

Question. How did GoK prepare to fight against Corona virus? Answer.  Released novel corona virus-specific guidelines that established case definitions, screening and sampling protocol, hospital preparedness and surveillance.

Question. What was the contribution of Kerala‘s public health care system in this fight? Answer.  Decentralized with facilities at the state, district, sub-district, panchayat, and ward level.

Question. What was Kerala‘s previous experience in pandemic handling? Answer.  Previous experience regarding handling of Nipah virus in 2018.

Question. List out measures in which we can stop the rapid transmission of the virus. Answer.  Isolation, quarantine, cleanliness, sanitization, public awareness.

Question. Find out the similar word from Para 6 which means ―a medical science dealing with medical science. Answer.  Serological

Case based factual Passage for Class 9

1. Cataract is the major cause of blindness, which is also caused by damage to the cornea. It occurs more often in old age. As one starts growing old, the lens of the eye hardens, loses its transparency and becomes opaque. It obstructs the light rays from entering the eye.

2. The onset of cataract blurs the vision. Sometimes, the cataract patient sees multiple images instead of a single object image. Because of the gradual development of cataract, the afflicted person loses his/her vision and the world becomes dark to him/her.

3. The development of cataract is a complex process. However, the following factors can be attributed to its formation. Cataract generally develops in old age but sometimes, children are born with cataract because of hereditary defect. Eye injuries too, can cause cataracts.

4. People exposed to sun rays for longer periods develop cataract earlier than others. Researchers opine that the smoke inhaled while smoking carries substances internally damaging the eyes.

5. Ultraviolet radiation, invisible to the human eye, is linked to skin cancer. The victim loses vision and the world becomes dark to him.

Question. What causes blindness? Answer.  Cataract as well as damage to the cornea

Question. Give any two factors which are responsible for the formation of cataract. Answer.  Eye injury / long exposure of sun rays / hereditary factors

Question. Find the word from Para 1 that means ‗that through which light cannot enter‘. Answer.  Opaque

Question. Which type of cancer is caused by ultraviolet radiation? Answer.  Skin cancer

Question. What is the opinion of the researchers on blindness due to smoking? Answer.  Smoking carries substances internally damaging the eyes.

Question. List out two facts which can prevent cataract damage. Answer.  Dodge exposure to sunlight, quit smoking, regular eye checks up

Read the following passage carefully:

1. The Food Bill is still in the works but has provoked a furious debate on the lack of grain storage facilities, rotting of grains and whether they should be distributed free to the hungry masses. Waking up to the fact that no food security programme can be effective without proper storage, the government is now planning to upgrade existing warehousing facilities and also adding new ones. However, between food security and large-scale storage, there‘s a missing link that needs to be taken note of: storage at the farm level. No one can deny the importance of decentralised storage; at least 25-30 per cent grains in the country are stored at the farm level.

2. However, it‘s not as if there hasn‘t been enough thrust on this issue: there are State institutes to look into the storage problems.

3. Yet, policy-wise we did have a sound start: the Save Grain Campaign, which was initiated 43 years ago, was supposed to do what we are floundering on now. Through this campaign, the Centre was to initiate and train states in warehousing and storage of grains. The Centre wanted the states to take it up on a large scale but the latter did not want any ―added responsibility‖. Finding no takers, the campaign was withdrawn in 2008.

4. ―Around 15-20 per cent food grain losses occur in large storage godowns. Along with investment in large storage capacities, we must encourage farm-level storage. This can be in the form of refining and improving the local/indigenous storage technologies and providing technical and financial support at that level,‖ says M.B. Chetti, Dean, College of Agriculture, University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad, Karnataka.

5. He and many experts like him suggest that if we want to leapfrog in storage capacity at the farmlevel (since setting up large storages is time-consuming and expensive), new technologies vacuum packaging could be the answer. They assure quality as well as a chance to store grains almost anywhere and that it can be done in villages by trained persons.

6. ―Alternatively, we have to go for cold storage facilities for food grains, which is very costly since it involves electricity supply,‖ says Chetti. Instead, vacuum packing, say experts, helps preserve grains and seeds for long periods without any deterioration in quality. In fact, an experiment was carried out in the university on the usefulness of the packaging system (using chilli) and the results were satisfactory. The available technology offers a seven- layer packing to preserve quality for long periods of time and once sealed, climatic changes have no effect on it. Elimination of oxygen from the pack helps in extending shelf life.

7. ―At present only three-layer plastic films are manufactured in India. The seven-layered film needs to be imported. But the import duty is high,‖ says Mohan Bajikar, of course, such technologies are expensive, but then delivering to the hungry isn‘t enough—quality must be ensured.

8. Fool policy analyst Devinder Sharma, however, says expensive solutions like silos and warehousing are not the answer to procurement and storage problems. Instead, he says, ―local production, local procurement and local distribution‖ is the answer, something like what Chhattisgarh has been doing. It procures paddy directly from farmers, buying it through cooperative societies and procurement centres at the village level. To store, he adds, the government can add a small godown next to each panchayat ghar.

9. Whichever way we look at it, decentralised storage cannot be left out of the loop if we want to ensure food security and reduce stock losses.

Question. Why was save green campaign withdrawn after 43 years? Answer.  Save green campaign was withdrawn because the states did not want any added responsibility.

Question. Which is the most cost-effective solution for storage of grain? Answer.  Decentralized storage is the most effective solution for storage of grain.

Question. How are new technologies like vacuum packaging more successful in storing? Answer.  They assure quality as well as a chance to store grains almost anywhere.

Question. Why do experts reject soil and warehousing? Answer.  Experts reject soil and warehousing because these are very costly solutions.

Question. Why the necessity of proper storage has been realized? Answer.  Because no food security is possible without it

Short Unseen Passage Class 9 with questions and answers

1. Read the passage given below and answer 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 slow 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.

Question. What is Sundergarh known more for than hockey? Answer.  It is known more for its rough roads and grinding poverty.

Question. How is a hockey stick viewed by a child in that particular village? Answer.  A hockey stick very often is a child’s first toy.

Question. How does hockey play an important role in choosing an eligible groom? Answer.  Not just the number of bullocks he owns judges an eligible groom, but also by the goals he scores.

Question. When and how hockey came to Sundergarh according to scholars? Answer.  Scholars believed that it was the Christian missionaries who introduced it as they swarmed into the tribal region in the 1860s.

Question. How do the youngsters make hockey sticks and balls? Answer.  They make their own hockey sticks by bending a bamboo shoot, binding one end to create a curve and slow heating it over fire. They make a ball by wrapping cloth around a wood apple.

Question. What are the special qualities that the tribals have, that contr ibute to being good at hockey? Answer.  They are said to have immense stamina, keen eyesight and patience./ they have strong legs and can stay bent over a stick for hours.

Question. What is the complaint of the players against the State Government? Answer.  Only about 5 percent of the state’s budget is set apart for sports.

Question. In what way does hockey help the triblas? Answer.  It helps the tribals get jobs and earn a living

2. Read the passage given below and answe r the questions that follow:

1. You hope to do several things every day. At the end of each day, most of them are not done. You may be using a „to- do- list‟ but discover in short while that it is not helping you much. Tasks keep adding to it. In a few weeks, it starts looking like a list of things you will never do and you feel stressed about it. Making a „to-do-list‟ is not enough. It is useful only when you understand the key aspects of it and work on it further.

2. To begin with, recognize that a to-do-list is only a pool of tasks. It is just a raw collection that gives you no idea of how you will get to it. To make it useful you have to define the „when‟. Entering detail about when you will do the different tasks, gives to- do- list a meaning. When you begin creating a schedule, your focus shifts to how long you have to work on each task to complete it. This way you are forced to be realistic about your goals. You cannot do all the tasks on the list on the same day.

3. So, you should learn to prioritize. Rank the tasks using numbers or group them using letters of the alphabet, according to the order of importance. Now start working according to the schedule where your schedule went wrong by paying close attention to how you are spending the day. Some of the possible reasons are: you waste time, made mistake in assessing how much time a task would take or deal with „urgent‟ tasks frequently. If the reason is wasting time, learn to concentrate on your work. If you made a mistake in time assessment, pr epare a more realistic schedule. 4. Another way to prioritize tasks is based on the creative energy they require. Separate the tasks into creative and boring ones. This approach helps you to stay productive even during cheerless parts of the day. Making schedule for items in your to-do-list does not promise that all of them are accomplished. But you can at least be strategic about what is left behind and feel happy that you achieved what you accommodated in the finite space. This way you can begin the next day on a confident note rather than feeling helpless and frustrated about failing.

Answer the following questions briefly:

Question.  When will a „to-do-list‟ become useful? Answer.  When understanding the key aspects of it and working on it further.

Question.  Why is the „to-do-list‟ described as a raw collection? Answer.  to-do –list is only a pool of tasks. It gives you no idea of how you will get to it.

Question.  What is prioritizing? Answer.  Prioritizing is ranking the tasks on the ‘to-do- list’ in order of their importance.

Question.  How do you become realistic about your goals? Answer.  By prioritizing our tasks, we make the best use of time and thus become realistic about our goals.

Question.  What should you do when you realize that you are wasting too much time? Answer.  We need to learn to concentrate on our work.

Question.  What should you do to help you stay productive even during cheerless parts of the day? Answer.  We should separate the tasks into creative and boring ones.

Question.  Find a word in the passage which conveys similar meaning as the following:

Question.  strained (para 1) Answer.  stressed

Question.  gloomy (para 4) Answer.  cheerless

Unseen Passage for Class 9 with answers

3. Read the passage given below and answe r the questions that follow:

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.

Question.  Why is handwriting not given much importance today? Answer. Computers are taking over. Typing is considered as good as writing.

Question.  Why was the author nonplussed when his daughter came home with cursive handwriting homework? Answer. Because she was used to typing on the laptop and had no cursive writing practice.

Question.  Why was Cursive writing introduced? Answer. 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.

Question.  How is taking down notes better than typing? Answer. It’s a better way to store the skills for written language in a child’s brain than pressing keys.

Question.  What makes the „bad habit‟ set in? Answer. When children are left with their devices the bad habit of neglecting writing sets in.

Question.  What does the revival in the sale of fountain pen show? Answer. It shows that in future sending a handwritten letter will be a display of affluence and class.

Question.  Although children are taught to write at an early age, they do not have legible handwriting when they grow older as  _________________ . Answer. they discontinue writing practice/ they are left with their devices.

Question.  Learning your QWERTY means  _____________ . Answer.  learning to type.

5. Read the passage given below and answe r the questions that follow:

In talking with people don‟t begin by discussing the things on which you differ. Begin by emphasizing the things on which you agree. Keep emphasizing, if possible, that you are both striving for the same end and your only difference is one of method and not of purpose.

Get the other person saying “Yes, Yes”, at the outset. Keep him, if possible, from saying „No‟. A „No‟ response is a most difficult handicap to overcome. When a person has said „No‟, all his pride of personality demands that he remains consistent with himself. He may later feel that the „No‟ was ill-advised; Nevertheless, there is his precious pride to consider. Once having said a thing, he must stick to it. Hence it is of the very greatest importance that we start a person in the affirmative direction. 

A skillful speaker gets at the outset a number of „Yes‟ responses. He has thereby set the psychological processes of his listeners moving in the affiramative direction. It is like the movement of a billiard ball. Propel it in one direction, and it takes some force to deflect it, far more force to send it back in the opposite direction.

The psychological patterns here are quite clear. When a person says ‟No‟ and really means it, he is doing far more than saying a word of two letters. His entire organism-glandular, nervous, muscular-gathers itself together into a condition of rejection. There is, usually in minute but sometimes in observable degree, a physical withdrawal or readiness for withdrawal. The whole neuro-muscular system, in short, sets itself on guard against acceptance where on the contrary, a person says „Yes‟ none of the withdrawing activities take place. The organism is in a forward moving, accepting, open attitude. Hence, the more, “Yeses” we can, at the very outset, induce, the more likely we are to succeed in capturing the attention for our ultimate proposal.

It is a very simple technique-this „Yes‟ technique. And yet how much neglected! It often seems as if people get a sense of their own importance by antagonizing at the outset. The radical comes into a conference with his conservative brother, and immediately he must make them furious! What, as a matter of fact, is the good of it? Indeed, he is only psychologically stupid.

(i) Give very short answers:

• Why does a person stick to his negative response for long?
• How does a clever speaker move his listeners in the affirmative direction?
• What is meant by physical withdrawal?
• What is the psychological process of a listener compared to?
• Which title given below is the most appropriate one for the passage ?

(a) Say „Yes‟ or „No‟ (b) A good speaker (c) Getting a Positive Response

(ii) Complete the following : (a) Though the „Yes technique‟ is a simple technique it __ (b) is a wrong way to begin a conversation.

(iii) Find words from the passage which mean the same as _ (a) refusal (para 4) – (b) opposing(para5) –

(iv) Write the word from the passage which is the antonym of „negative‟.

Discursive Passage for Class 9

6. Read the passage given below and answe r the questions that follow:

„The Hardy Boys‟, Mystery Stories are a series of books about the adventures of brothers, Frank and Joe Hardy, teenaged detectives who solve one baffling mystery after another. The Hardy Boys were so popular among young boys that in 1930 a similar series was created for girls featuring a sixteen-year-old detective named Nancy Drew. The cover of each volume of ‘The Hardy Boys’ states that the author of the series is Franklin W. Dixon; the ‘Nancy Drew Mystery Stories’ are supposedly written by Carolyn Keene. Over the years, though, many fans of both series have been surprised to find out that Franklin W. Dixon and Carolyn

Keene are not real people. If Franklin W. Dixon and Carolyn Keene never existed, then who wrote ‘The Hardy Boys’ and ‘Nancy Drew’ mysteries?

‘The Hardy Boys’ and ‘The Nancy Drew’ books were written through a process called ghostwriting. A ghostwriter writes a book according to a specific formula. While ghostwriters are paid for writing the books, their authorship is not acknowledged, and their names do not appear on the published books. Ghostwriters can write books for children or adults, the content of which is unspecific. Sometimes they work on book series with a lot of individual titles, such as ‘The Hardy Boys’ and ‘The Nancy Drew’ series.

The initial idea for both the ‘Hardy Boys’ and the ‘Nancy Drew’ series was developed by a man named Edward Stratemeyer, who owned a publishing company that specialized in children‟s books. Stratemeyer noticed the increasing popularity of mysteries among adults, and surmised that children would enjoy reading mysteries about younger detectives with whom they could identify. Stratemeyer first developed each book with an outline describing the plot and setting. Once he completed the outline, Stratemeyer then hired a ghostwriter to convert it into a book of slightly over 200 pages. After the ghostwriter had written a draft of a book, he or she would send it back to Stratemeyer, who would make a list of corrections and mail it back to the ghostwriter. The ghostwriter would revise the book according to Stratemeyer‟s instructions and then return it to him. Once Stratemeyer approved the book, it was ready for publication. Because each series ran for so many years, ‘Nancy Drew’ and ‘The Hardy Boys’ both had a number of different ghostwriters producing books; however, the first ghostwriter for each series proved to be the most influential. The initial ghostwriter for ‘The Hardy Boys’ was a Canadian journalist named Leslie McFarlane.

A few years later, Mildred A. Wirt, a young writer from Iowa, began writing the ‘Nancy Drew’ books. Although they were using prepared outlines as guides, both McFarlane and Wirt developed the characters themselves. The personalities of Frank and Joe Hardy and Nancy Drew arose directly from McFarlane‟s and Wirt‟s imaginations. For example, Mildred Wirt had been a star college athlete and gave Nancy similar athletic abilities. The ghostwriters were also responsible for numerous plot and setting details. Leslie McFarlane used elements of his small Canadian town to create Bayport, the Hardy Boys fictional hometown.

On the basis of your reading of the above passage, fill in the blanks with appropriate words/ phrases:

a) The „Hardy Boys‟ mystery stories are a series of books that contain __ . b) was a similar series like „The Hardy Boys‟ created for the girls. c) The process of writing the ‘Hardy Boys’ and ‘Nancy Drew’ was called ___. d) The initial idea for both the ‘Hardy Boys’ and the ‘Nancy Drew’ series was developed by __________ . e) ‘The Hardy Boys’ and ‘Nancy Drew’ books were created based on the idea that children _______ . f) ‘Nancy Drew’ and the ‘Hardy Boys’ both had a number of different ghostwriters producing books . g) The personalities of Frank and Joe Hardy and Nancy Drew arose directly from _ and _ imaginations. h) The ghostwriters were responsible for _ plot and details.

Unseen Passage with multiple choice questions for Class 9

7. Read the passage given below and answe r the questions that follow:

1 Here‟s why effective communication is important. In a large organization, when a CEO addresses a live webcast — a must in today‟s day and age — even a single question from an employee, no matter how unimportant it might be, will resonate across centers. It then becomes absolutely necessary for the leader to respond in a precise and unambiguous manner and use the platform to deliver his message across to the people. When the spotlight is on the leader, onlookers will hold on to every word he or she utters. Rhetoric can make many a hero.

2 Usage of words chosen to deliver a message is equally important. “Communication is not about company information. It‟s more like, if you want to drink water, do I presume you want to drink Coke,” an HR head once remarked. If strategy is important, what‟s even more critical is communication of the strategy. One can either be vague and leave it to the imagination of others or be precise without any obscurity. Either way, depending on what the situation demands, it‟s a leader‟s call and he or she can be sure, people are going to judge.

3 The importance of effective communication is not restricted to the leadership level alone. Companies are looking at innovative and effective ways to communicate with employees and also enable employee-to-employee communication, what one can term as E-2-E. So there are Facebook like tools that are being created to encourage active discussion among employees, irrespective of where they are based. It also ensures any gap in communication is bridged and there are no excuses at that. 

4 An engineering company I know uses SMS as a means to communicate with employees. They started this practice even when others were just about warming up to sending mailers to meet their communication needs. Others may take a cue from this and start using platforms like WhatsApp, who knows? The fact is companies are using technology in a big way because they understand that the biggest challenge today is communicating with the Gen-Yers and Gen-Xers. The logic is simple: if the new generation is used to modes like ATM and online shopping, how can archaic communication methods work?

5 Effective communication can work at multiple levels in an organization like training, learning and development, education opportunities, among others. Moreover, in a chaotic world, the only thing that will work is sane communication. If communication fails, organizations run the risk of falling into a trap where ideas emerge from all corners but don‟t get executed. So when it comes to people matters, silence is not always golden.

2.1 On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer the following questions briefly:

a) Why is effective communication absolutely necessary for the leader? b) In what way should companies productively communicate to benefit the employees? c) Why don‟t archaic communication methods work today? d) What happens if communication fails in an organization?

2.2 Choose the most appropriate answer from the given options: a) What is the meaning of the word ‘chaotic’? (para 5) i) disordered ii) noisy iii) organized iv) complex

b) What is the meaning of the word „innovative’? (para 3) i) clever ii) unimaginative iii) creative iv) intelligent

c) What is the opposite of the word ‘unambiguous’? (para 1) i) not clear ii) original iii) inventive iv) clear

d) What is the meaning of the word ‘strategy’? (para 2) i) plan of action ii) communication iii) obscurity iv) execution

8. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:

Vasu Sojitra loves climbing snow-covered peaks on foot and skiing down at adrenaline-pumping speeds. As the 23-year-old who lives in Connecticut, US whizzes down the white slopes, everyone watching tends to forget that he does it all with only one leg. His story of grit and sheer love for the sport, told in a short film ‘Vasu Sojitra : Out on a Limb’, transfixed the audience at the recently held Banff Mountain Film Festival’s India tour in Delhi. Sojitra was all of nine months old when his right leg was diagnosed with septicemia. His leg was amputated to save his life. But even a prosthetic leg couldn’t stop him from doing what he loved. “I played soccer, hockey and skateboarded in school. My parents never treated me any differently from my brother,” he says. But a hard fall at the age of 10 meant he had to give up the artificial limb too.

Moving about on crutches, he took a liking to skiing at 15 on a trip to Vermont. The training courses weren’t equipped to deal with his challenge. So Sojitra taught himself. “I would watch videos and do it over and over again, unit I finally could, ” he says. After a year, he adapted his gear too to his unique balance equation. Apart from using a single ski, the ski poles he uses – called outriggers – double up as crutches with little skis attached at the bottom. They prop him up as he climbs and help him steer as he glides. Sojitra admits it’s harder with the disability, but that doesn’t stop him from doing it all unassisted. The grace in his glide belies his disability. Or maybe it’s his attitude that does it. “Disability is a myth,” Sojitra say. “Having one leg isn’t a big issue, it’s just a hiccup. ” A mechanical engineer by qualification, his day job is that of an assistant director for adaptive sports programmes for the disabled. A frequent visitor to his ancestral home in Uplata near Rajkot, Gujarat, Sojitra hopes to replicate his work there someday.

(a) Vasu’s feat of climbing up and coming down the peaks is a marvel as he does it all with _ . (b) A hard fall at the age of 10 led to the boy’s _ too going away. (c) Vasu enjoy climbing snow covered mountain peaks on foot and _ at great speed. (d) Watching videos and doing it over and over helped Vasu achieve his _. (e) Vaus’s right leg had to be _ because it was diagnosed with septicemia. (f) A _ by profession, Vasu says disability is a myth. (g) Vasu took a liking to skiing at the age of _ .

9. Read the passage given below and answe r the questions that follow:

The ego of ownership has made humans the cruelest animals in the world. They build palatial buildings and big cities on the homes of small creatures like ants and other burrow dwellers. They are all meant to die for his facilities.

Nature made vegetation that is meant for all living beings. But man felt that all the animals are meant for him. They kill an elephant for its tusks, deer for its horns, a large number of animals for their hide for shoes, decoration and dresses. A human a large number of animals for his food. His number is increasing in such a way that he will have no fear, ever of animals, owning the world again. Humans use monkeys, rabbits, rats, dogs, cats and other small animals for experiments in laboratories. They torture and kill thousands and thousands of animals to prepare medicines, nail polish, lipstick, etc. The medical world has made its mansions on the blood and torture of these mute creatures whom man thinks his property.

If humans could somehow eliminate their ego, all the troubles in this world would simply fade away. Humanity is doomed to extinction because of lack of this insight and the continuous desire for short term self-satisfaction by the never ending greed to own it all. Humans’ greed and the lust for wealth and power are the motivating factors for systematically destroying the very planet we call our home, and on which we must rely for our existence and protection. The human race as a whole has learned nothing of any value from the past.

10. Read the passage given below and answecar the questions that follow:

Cancer has emerged as the second-leading cause of death globally after cardiovascular diseases. Proportion of deaths due to cancer around the world increased from 12% in 1990 to 15% in 2013 while the number of new cases almost doubled in India during the period. In India, deaths from the disease have increased by 60%, according to the latest report ‘Global Burden of Cancer-2013’, released worldwide on Friday.

“Even if we adjust for the rise in population in India over this period, the new cancer cases have increased by 30% per unit population and deaths have risen by 10%, “says Lalit Dandona, co-author of the study and Professor at the Public Health Foundation of India and Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

In 2013, there were 14.9 million new cancer cases registered globally, whereas 8.2 million people died due to the disease. The report is based on a global study of 28 cancer groups in 188 countries by a consortium of international researchers from University of Washington and Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation.

The report suggests that new cases of virtually all types of cancer are rising in countries globally -regardless of income-but the death rates from cancer are falling in many countries primarily due to its prevention and treatment. However, it says there is a threat of increasing incidence in developing countries due to ill-equipped health systems.

While incidence of breast cancer is highest in India as well as globally, most number of cancer deaths in India are caused due to stomach cancer, which is globally the second most common reason for death.

Solved Unseen Passages for Class 9

11. Read the passage given below and answecar the questions that follow:

(1) I have sometimes given money to beggars. On cold autumn days, when a homeless man seemed to be in need of some money to buy food or a cup of coffee, I have occasionally dropped him a few coins. Those coins, I have thought, mean much more to him than they do to me, and giving is a nice thing to do. Upon reflection, however, I have come to change my mind, and now I don’t give money to beggars. Let me explain why.

(2) First, for every rupee that we give to a beggar, the more lucrative we make begging and, comparatively, the less lucrative we make working. This is bad, for we want people to work, not beg. Working is productive; begging is at best neutral and often a burden and a nuisance. Second, there is no guarantee that the beggar who receives the money will spend it in ways that increase the quality of his life. He might well spend the money on alcohol or drugs, and end up financing organized crime. (3) First of all, you are likely to give your money to the beggars who already get the most from other givers. Depending on their location, their looks, and what they say, different

beggars have different degrees of success in how much money they attract. Like everyone else, you are statistically likely to give the most money to the ones with the locations, looks, and tricks that prompt people to give.

(4) Even if you follow a well thought out strategy to eliminate this problem, however, you are still almost certainly giving your money to the wrong people. The reason why is that, presumably, you live in the developed world – and so do the beggars that you walk past on the street. The vast majority of beggars living in the developed world, moreover, have a quality of life that millions in the developing world can only dream of.

(5) In seeking to help others, we should not merely give to those who are geographically close to us and whose appearance elicits our sympathy. Rather, we should give to those wh are the worst off, who can be helped the most with each rupee that we give, and who are the least responsible for the situation that they’re in. To achieve this, we should consciously decide how much of our money we are willing to spend on helping others, find the most efficient charity, donate money to that charity, and say no the next time a beggar asks if we can spare a dime.

(a) Why did the writer stop giving money to the beggars ? (b) How will you decide that you are giving money to the right person ? (c) Why should people living in the developed countries not give money to the beggars of their countries ? (d) What considerations must be kept in mind while giving money to the beggars ? (e) What is the antonym of the word ‘lucrative’ ? (para-2) (f) What is meant by the word ‘presumably’ ? (para-4) (g) What is meant by the word ‘illicit’ ? (para-5) (h) What is meant by the word ‘prompt’ ? (para-3)

Case based Unseen Passage for Class 9

12. Read the passage given below and answecar the questions that follow:

1. A Canadian study published in the journal ‘Psychology and Aging’ finds that older adults are more focused and attentive in the morning, and they perform better on demanding cognitive tasks during the morning hours.

2. Young adults (aged 19 to 30) and older adults (aged 60 to 82) did a series of memory tests while subjected to distractions in the morning and afternoon sessions. Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (FMRI) was used to scan the participants’ brain while taking the tests to assess which areas of the brain were activated.

3. The findings strongly suggest that older adult’s brain functions vary widely during the day. “Time of day really does matter when testing older adults. This age group is more focused and better able to ignore distraction in the morning than in the afternoon,” the author said.

4. But the senior’s brain images in the afternoon showed signs of idling-areas of the brain when a person is resting or thinking about nothing in general was activated. This could mean that the adults had difficulty focusing. When a person is fully focused, resting state activations are suppressed. So how does this study help seniors ?

According to the study author, older adults should schedule mentally challenging tasks, such as doing taxes, taking a test, trying a new recipe, or seeing a doctor about new health problem, during the morning hours.

• According to the journal ‘Psychology and Aging’ the morning hours show the older adults as __ .
• The findings of the FMRI revealed which areas of the brain __ .
• “This age group is more focused and better able to ignore distraction in the morning than in the afternoon,” the author said. Which age group does the author refer to ?
• When are resting state activations suppressed ?
• Find a word from Para 3 which means the same as ‘to confuse with conflicting emotions.’

13. Read the passage given below and answecar the questions that follow:

I was born a slave on a plantation in Franklin County, Virginia. I am not quite sure of the exact place or exact date of my birth, but at any rate I suspect I must have been born somewhere and at some time. As nearly as I have been able to learn, I was born near a crossroads postoffice called Hale’s Ford, and the year was 1858 or 1859. I do not know the month or the day. The earliest impressions I can now recall are of the plantation and the slave quarters-the latter being the part of the plantation where the slaves had their cabins.

My life had its beginning in the midst of the most miserable, desolate, and discouraging surroundings. This was so, not because my owners were especially cruel, for they were not, as compared with many others. I was born in a typical log cabin. I lived with my mother, a brother and a sister till after the Civil War, when we where all declared free.

Of my ancestry I know almost nothing. In the slave quarters, and even later, I hear whispered conversations among the coloured people of the tortures which the slaves, including my ancestors on my mother’s side, suffered in the middle passage of the slave ship while being conveyed from Africa to America. I have been unsuccessful in securing any information that would throw any accurate light upon the history of my family beyond my mother. She, I remember, had a half-brother and a half-sister.

Answer the following questions briefly :

• Where was the author born and when ?
• Where did he live with his mother, sister and brother ?
• What did he know about his mother’s family ?
• What did the narrator recall about the plantations and slave quarters ?
• Find the word from the passage which means ‘solitary’.

Unseen Passage for Class 9 with questions and answers

14. Read the passage given below and answecar the questions that follow:

Python snake, also known as Ajgar, is one of the most massively built snakes of the Indian subcontinent. It belongs to the Boidae family and is dependent on water to quite an extent. One of the unique features of the Rock pythons of India is that they can raise their body temperature above the ambient level through muscular contractions.

Python snake grows to an average length of somewhere around 4 metre, and its weight varies from 70 to 129 pounds. An adult Python is white or yellow in colour, depending upon its habitat.

Rock Python of India is a lethargic creature, moving only while hunting a prey or when threatened. It shows great swimming ability and is quite at ease in water.

Python snakes can be found in dense as well as open Indian forests, mostly estuarine mangrove forest, acid scrub jungle and rain forest. They may live in abandoned mammal burrows, hollow trees, dense water reeds and mangrove thickets. However, pythons prefer to live near a permanent source of water, like rivers and lakes. Rock python of India is an endangered species, now partly protected by the Tamil Nadu Government. The reason for this is that it is killed for its fine skin, meat and even for medicinal purposes. These snakes are carnivore animals and they feed on mammals, birds and reptiles indiscriminately, but seem to prefer mammals. Roused to activity on sighting prey, the snake will advance with quivering tail and lunge with open mouth. Live prey is constricted and killed. One or two coils are used to hold it in a tight grip. The prey, unable to breathe, succumbs and is subsequently swallowed head first. After a heavy meal, they are disinclined to move. If forced to, hard parts of the meal may tear through the body.

(a) How does Python increase its body temperature? (b) The colour of the Python depends on its __ . (c) On what is python snake largely dependent on? (d) Which is the preferred habitat of Python snakes? (e) Where can Python snakes be found? (f) What made Rock Python an endangered species (g) What happens if they are forced to move after a heavy meal? (h) Find the word from the passage which means the same as „in danger of becoming extinct”‟

15. Read the passage given below and answecar the questions that follow:

Our Vedas consists of ancient theories, observations and principles about the mind and body connection which is now being proven by modern medicine. There are several reasons for headache, physical, emotional and mental factors, anxiety and tension are a few. Sometimes, headache can be a signal of an underlying disease. More than medicines, yoga therapy eminently suits any need. Yoga is a comprehensive mode of culturing the body and the mind. Using an „Integrated Approach of Yoga, the Yoga Research Centers have been able to cure some tough headaches. The integrated approach includes breathing, asanas , pranayama, meditation and devotional sessions.

Yoga, is aimed to unite the mind, the body, and the spirit. Yogis view that the mind and the body are one and that if it is given the right yoga kit and tools and taken to the right environment, it can find harmony and heal itself. Yoga therefore is considered therapeutic. It helps you become more aware of your body’s posture, alignment and patterns of movement. It makes the body more flexible and helps you relax even in the midst of a stress stricken environment.

Yoga asanas, especially the ones imitating the natural postures of animals, have a tremendous tranquilising effect, without having to depend on common drugs. Pranayama inhibits random agitations in Pranic (energy) flows in Pranamayakosa , stabilising the autonomic nervous system. Dhyana and Samadhi culture the reaction of an individual to headache. By interrupting the vicious cycle of pain-agony-pain, it prevents headache from becoming a crippling problem.

Through asanas that calm you, the pranayama exercises that inhibit random energy flows the meditation that cultivates and relaxes your mind. Yoga offers a holistic form of pain relief. It stops you from becoming locked in the vicious circle of pain-anxietypain.

(a) How does Pranayam help the body? (b) How can one stay away from medicines? (c) What does integrated approach include? (d) Why yoga is considered therapeutic? (e) What is meant by „inhibit‟? (Para 4) (f) What is meant by „eminently? (Para 1) (g) Find the word opposite to „discord‟. (Para 2) (h) Find the word opposite to „stiff‟. (Para 2)
