GREENFINGERS GLOBAL SCHOOL, KHARGHAR PERIODICAL II REVISION PAPER I

ENGLISH CLASS: IX TIME: 3 hrs.

Section – A: Reading 1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:

HOW TO BEAT A BAD MOOD 1. Moods, say the experts, are emotions that tend to become fixed, influencing one’s outlook for

hours, days or even weeks. That’s great if your mood is a pleasant one, but a problem if you are sad, anxious, angry or simply lethargic.

2. Perhaps the best way to deal with such moods is to talk them out; sometime, though, there is no one to listen to. Modern pharmacology offers an abundance of tranquillizers, anti-depressants and anti-anxiety drugs. What many people don’t realise, however, is that scientists have discovered the effectiveness of several non-drug approaches to pry you loose from an unwanted mood. These can be as good as prescription drugs and have the added benefit of being non-toxic and non-addictive. So in moments of bad moods try one of these antidotes instead of rushing to the chemists. Of all self-help techniques, aerobic exercises seem to be the most effective cure for a bad mood. Aerobic exercises such as running, cycling, brisk walking, swimming or other repetitive activities boost the heartbeat rate, increase the circulation of blood and improve the body’s utilization of oxygen. Just for 20 minutes, three to five times a week are just that you need.

3. “Colour can be a nutrient for the mind as vitamins are for the body,” says Patricia, a New York colour psychologist. She suggests to keep away from red to defuse irritability and anger. Avoid wearing colours that make you feel down – black or dark blue. Go for warm, bright and active colours that lighten your mood. Neutral colours such as soft shades of blue have a soothing, calming effect and these alleviate anxiety and tension.

4. There is a reported basic link between food and mood. Carbohydrates eaten alone stimulate the brain’s production of serotonin responsible for making us feel calm and relaxed. It is sort of comfort food with a tranquillizing effect. Eating proteins tends to sustain alertness and mental energy. The best proteins are shell-fish, chicken etc.

5. A strong connection has been found between high caffeine intake and increased depression, irritability and anxiety. People are often depressed when their thoughts are negative and distorted. If you avoid being critical of yourself and think positive thoughts, you’re actually more likely to feel happy. It is important to lift oneself out of one’s own self-defeating mood and to take an interest in someone else.

On the basis of the reading of the above passage answer the following questions briefly: (1x8=8) a. How do experts define moods? b. What is ‘talk them out’ useful for? c. Name some of the drugs used to treat anxiety and depression. d. What are the advantages of non-drug approaches that help you to pry loose from an unwanted

mood/ e. Which cure according to the writer seems to be the most effective cure for a bad mood? f. What do aerobic exercises do to us? g. Mention the colours suggested by the writer and their disadvantages/ benefits. h. How do carbohydrates benefit us?

2. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: (12m) 1. “There is no need to define morality; let man be simply compassionate”. This sentence expresses

the basic essence of morality: the extent to which it relies on compassion for its definition. For when we think about it, is not that truly human feeling of compassion the basis of all morality?

2. Morality rests for its very meaning on the concepts of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ where ‘good’ refers to all thoughts and deeds that do not aim at or accomplish any harm or injury or do not involve an attempt to inflict sufferings on others. Thus morality is based on man’s ability to understand, being able to

sympathise, feel kindness and sorrow for and identify himself with the sufferings of his fellowmen. So only compassion can give rise to moral thoughts and feelings.

3. Depriving a person of what is his or what must belong to him – what is called stealing – for selfish ends, taunting or insulting others through words or actions for the purpose of self-gratification, violence – expressed verbally or as acts of torture, killing etc. – for the sake of violence contradict morality as well as an inner feeling of kindness and compassion.

4. When we talk about social morality of any kind, what comes into play is our ability to feel for the well-being of our society. A certain moral code of conduct is ultimately necessary to ensure that the society does not fall prey to degeneration of values, which would lead to rampant sufferings and ultimately chaos. It is a concern to help the society by safeguarding it from unwanted ills and malaises and ensuring its well-being. Society’s concerns are our concerns: anything capable of causing a detrimental impact on it in the short-term or in course of time is ultimately bound to affect us and our children.

5. There is the need to realize that man must continue to feel compassion for the sake of himself as well as the society. But like any other human trait, compassion ought to be continually exercised if it is to remain a dominant force. Unfortunately, in modern society what we witness is a complete lack of kindness and sympathy between fellow beings. One can only shake one’s head and say that just like other cherished values even compassion is getting eroded in the hustle and bustle of the mechanical existence of these times. What remains is material values that look only towards immediate personal gains and in the process rid man of whatever ‘humanness’ is left in him.

i. On the basis of the reading of the above passage answerthe following questions in 30-40 words each:

a. What is the basic essence of morality according to the author? b. What is morality based on, according to the author? c. What sort of acts contradict morality? d. What would happen if the society were to fall prey to degeneration of values?
