Section 1 – Reading Read the given passages and answer the questions that follow:

1. The moon's role in causing tides is much more high and important than that of the sun. The reason is that the moon enjoys more proximity to the earth than the sun as such its force of attraction is stronger than that of the Sun in attracting the surface water. Tides are of immense importance. In trade, navigation and fishing, tides are very useful. During the high tide, the water depth near the coast goes up and helps big ships to reach the ports. Kandla port in Gujarat and Diamond Harbour in West Bengal owe their very existence to the tides only. The significance of both London and Kolkata also depends on the tides. Tides also keep the harbours clear of refuse and mud brought down by rivers and thus they do not allow the harbours to be silted. Commonly, the tidal rivers are navigable. For generating electricity, tidal waves are harnessed. Tides do not allow the sea water to be frozen by keeping the sea water in motion. Tides are also made use by the fishermen for sailing into the sea and returning to the harbour. In the countries like Canada, U.K., France and Japan, tidal power stations are set up.

Q-1 Why does the moon play a greater role than the sun in causing tides? Q-2 How are tides useful for the economy of the country? Q-3 How are tides useful in cold countries? Q-4 How can tides solve the power problem of the world? Q-5 Which word in the passage mean 'to bring under control'? 2. „He who hesitates is lost‟ is a well-known proverb. A leader who cannot decide on a plan of

action will not be able to accomplish anything worthwhile. Indecision leads to confusion because people do not know what to do . Prompt decision-making is of great use in an emergency. A young doctor once had a patient who complained of intense pain. The doctor consulted two other doctors to find out if an operation should be performed. The other doctors felt that the patient's condition should be observed for a few days. But the young doctor, who felt responsible for the patient, examined him once again and decided to operate immediately. When the operation was performed, the other doctors realised that a delay of even a few hours would have proved fatal to the patient. A prompt decision by the young doctor saved the life of his patient. We are often faced with difficult problems. It is up to us to take prompt decisions that could make the difference between success and failure. We must be able to say 'yes' or 'no' without delay, and no 'maybe' or 'perhaps' after hours of deliberation. This does not mean we should say 'yes' or 'no' without thinking. We must cultivate the ability to quickly think out all the favourable and unfavourable circumstances of a situation and then decide whether we should say 'yes' or 'no'. To linger over a decision for days and months will get us nowhere. Hence, prompt decision-making is very important, if one wants to achieve success.

3. SYMPATHY (Poem) I lay in sorrow, in deep distress; My grief a proud man heard; His looks were cold, he gave me gold, But not a kindly word My sorrow passed – I paid him back The gold he gave to me; Then stood erect and spoke my thanks And blessed his charity. I lay in want, and grief and pain; A poor man passed my way, He bound my head, he gave me bread, He watched me night and day. How shall I pay him back again For all he did to me? Oh, gold is great, but greater far Is heavenly sympathy. Q1. How did the proud man help the poet when he was 'in deep distress'? Q2. What was it he did not give the poet? Q3.
