Q.1. Read the passages and answer the questions that follow. 1x10=10


Ants are common insects. There are more than 12,000 kinds in the world. They are born, and live and work in a colony with many other ants. An ant goes through four stages of development: egg, larva, pupa/cocoon and adult. An ant egg is about the size of a period at the end of a sentence. An egg is kidney- shaped and soft. It has a sticky surface. It can clump together with other eggs. This allows a group of eggs to be carried away quickly if danger occurs. Some eggs don't survive because they are eaten by other ants. The ant egg cells divide for 7-14 days and a larva appears. The larva will shed its skin about 3 times. It eats constantly. It will get bigger each time it sheds. The larva sucks up the liquids from the food brought to it. Sometimes adult ants eat food and spit it up for the larva. The larva will also get hairier. It will have hooked-like hairs. These hairs allow groups of them to be picked up and carried like the eggs. A larva doesn't have any feet. It can bend a little towards food. Some types can also move along. About 25 days later a larva changes into a pupa.


Like other insects, ants have jointed legs, three body parts, and two antennae. The three body parts are covered by an exoskeleton. An exoskeleton is a skeleton located on the outside of their body. An ant's head contains its brain. It also holds two compound eyes, and pharynx (the start of the digestive system). The antennae are attached to the head, too. The mandibles (jaws) on his head can bite and chew food. Three kinds of ants live in a colony. Queens are ants who lay the eggs for the whole colony. They are bigger than other ants. They were fed more as larvae. They have wings. If a queen should die, the whole colony falls apart. There is no one to produce new ants. Female worker ants do not have wings. They gather food, clean and take care of the young ants. The male ants only help in reproduction and do not work.

Q.2. Read the following passage carefully and make notes on it also give a suitable title to it.  04


Conversation is indeed the most easily teachable of all arts. All you need to do in order to become a good conversationalist is to find a subject that interests you and your listeners. There are, for example, numberless hobbies to talk about. But the important thing is that you must talk about other fellow's hobby rather than your own. Therein lies the secret of your popularity. Talk to your friends about the things that interest them, and you will get a reputation for good fellowship, charming wit, and a brilliant mind. There is nothing that pleases people so much as your interest in their interest. It is just as important to know what subjects to avoid and what subjects to select for good conversation. If you don't want to be set down as a wet blanket or a bore, be careful to avoid certain unpleasant subjects. Avoid talking about yourself, unless you are asked to do so. People are interested in their own problems, not in yours. Sickness or death bores everybody. The only one who willingly listens to such talk is the doctor, but he gets paid for it.


Ans. (a) Title: Conversation how to draw listeners.


Notes: 1. Conversation: (i) Most important factor of life. 

(ii) To become a good conversationalist one needs to find an interesting subject for the listeners. 


2. Boring topics and personal issues.:


(i) Avoid of continuous conversation on personal issues.

(ii) Sickness and death bores everybody. 


3. Interesting topics: (i) Listeners like witty conversation. 

(ii) Intelligent and brilliant conversations win everywhere.


(b) Summary: Conversation is the most important factor in our daily life. It is an art. It really depends on the conversationalist how they draw the interests of the listeners witty and interesting conversations are enjoyed everywhere. Nobody feels interesred in listening one's personal issues and problems. Rather the people like conversation on interesting topics.

Only the doctors are interested in listening to one's personal sickness and problems but also charge fees for that. So a good conversationalist must always find interesitng subjects for the list eners.

Importance Of Games And Sports In Life 


Hints: 1. Introduction, 2. Necessity, 3. Importance, 4. Conclusion 


1. Introduction-It is fine saying that sound mind in a sound body. Our body is like a machine. Exercise, games and sports. They give us energy. A machine cannot work without oiling. In the same way, our body cannot work properly without exercise, games and sports. They give us energy.


2. Necessity-We are students. It is our duty to study. But we cannot study all the time. There is a limit to our energy. Doing too much work of the same type makes a man disinterested. Without interest, efficiency declines. So, it is correct to say that all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy'.


3. Importance-For studies, we should be healthy. A weak and sick student cannot study properly. Good health makes us healthy and fit for work. They provide the best exercise to the body. The limbs move and blood circulates so the body functions better. Health is the basis of success. Without health we have no charm in life. So it is correctly said. "if wealth is lost, nothing is lost; if health is lost, something is lost; if character is lost, everything is lost."

Games and sports make us disciplined. They keep the machine of life run smoothly. They teach us team spirit. We learn to adjust with others. They teach us co-operation. Every player thinks of the team. They develop the spirit of self-sacrifice.


4. Conclusion-We must take part in games and sports, but not at the cost of our studies. So, a balanced view is very necessary. Our rule of life should be "Work while you work and play while you play."
