Section-A (Reading) (15 marks) A. 1 Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:-
BODY LANGUAGE
It is wrong to assume that we communicate only when we speak or write. Even when we are not speaking or writing, we may be communicating something. That is done through the use of our body. In fact non-verbal (without words) cues speak louder than the words. Non-verbal communication refers to body movements, appearance, tone of voice, gestures among other things. These silent signals have a strong effect on the receiver. In conversations , our facial expressions contribute 55% to the meaning making, ;tone 38% and spoken words contribute only 7% to the process. The human face can display 2,50,000 different expressions. Raising or lowering your eyebrow, squinting the eyes, swallowing nervously , clenching the jaw, smiling broadly, etc.- add to the meaning of words. Looking straight into the eyes and saying something shows trust and truthfulness. Even the physical appreance-clothing ,gait, postures, etc.- helps us to form opinion and judgements about the other person. We feel that if a person stands erect, he is proud, a person with hunched shoulders is generally shy. But many such clues are not the same all over the world. Every culture interprets them differently. For example, showing the thumb may be a sign of like; to some of us but in some cultures it is a rude gesture.
A.1.1 Choose the right option to complete the following sentences. (1*2=2)
a. In conversations , ……………………….. contribute most of the meaning making. (i) Dress we wear (iii) tones we use
(ii) Expressions on the face (iv) our gestures
b. Another word for body language used in the passage is: (i) Non-verbal clues (iii) gestures (ii) Expressions (iv) eyes movement
A.1.2 Mark the following statements as true(t) or false(f). (0.5*4=2)
a. Body language is universal b. Body language cannot be called silent. c. A proud person generally stands with hunches shoulders. d. The word receiver in the passage is used for the speaker.
A.2.Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
At a casual glance no one would think that the two animals were even remotely relacted. The black footed mongoose, although still only a baby, measured too fit in length and stood about eight inches in height. She had
a blunt, rather dog-like face with dark, round and somewhat protubered eyes. Her body, head and tail were a rich creamy- white, while her slender legs were a rich brown that was almost black. She was sleek, sinuous and
svelte and reminded me of a soft- skinned parisienne belle-amie clad in n othing m ore tha n two pairs of black silk stokings. In contrast, the pigmy mongoose looked anything bur parisienne it measured, including tell, about ten inches in length. It had a tiny, sharply pointed face with a small, circular pink socks and a pair of small,
glittering, sherry-coloured eyes.The fur which was rather long and thick, was a deep chocolate brown with a faint ginger tinge here and there. Ticky, who was very much the grand dame , peered out of her cage at the new comer with something akin to horror on her face, watching it fascinated as it shrinked and grumbled over its meat. Ticky was herself a very dainty and fastidious feader and would never have dreamt of behaving In this uncouth way, yelling and screaming with your mouth full and generally carrying on as though you had never had a square meal in your life. She watched the pigmy for a moment or so and then gave a sniff of scorn turned round elegantly to over three times and then lay down and then went to sleep. A.2.1Find words from the passage which mean the same as the words given below: (0.5*4=2)
1. Distantly ………………………………. 3. Sparkling …………………………………
2 Fear ……………………………… 4. Delicate …………………………..
A.2.2 Change the words given in bold into plural:
1.In contrast ,the pigmy mongoose looked anything but Parisienne. (1*4=4)
2.Her body was creamy-white.
3.It had a tiny, sharply pointed face with a small , circular pink nose. A.2.3 .Answer briefly. (1*5=5)
1. What was the length of the black-footed mongoose? Describe her face. 2. Which word tells you that she was on the thinner side? 3. Describe the pigmy mongoose ‘s fur. 4. State any two qualities of Ticky. 5. What was Ticky”s reaction when she saw the newcomers? Section-B (Writing) (15 marks)

A.2.Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
People moan about poverty as a great evil and it seems to be an accepted belief that if people had plenty of money, they would be happy, and get more out of life. As a rule there is more genuine satisfaction in life and more is obtained from life in the humble cottage of the poor man than in the palace of rich men, who are attended by servants and governesses at a later stage. At the same time I am glad to think they do not know what they have missed. It is because I know how sweet and happy and pure the home of honest poverty is, how free from perplexing care and social envies and jealousies, how loving and united the members are in the common interest of supporting the family that I sympathise with the rich man’s boy and congratulate the poor man’s son. It is for these reasons that from the ranks of the poor so many strong eminent self-reliant men have always sprung. If you read the list of the “Immortals who were not born to die” you will find that most of them have been poor.
1. What is the popular notion about poverty? (1*5=5)
