राह पर खड़ा है आम का सूखा पेड़, सदा से ठूँठ नहीं है। दिन थे जब वह हरा भरा था और उस जनसंकुल चौराहे पर अपनी छतनार डालियों से बटोहियों की थकान अनजाने दूर करता था। पर मैंने उसे सदा ठूँठ ही देखा है। पत्रहीन, शाखाहीन, निरवलंब, जैसे पृथ्वी रूपी आकाश से सहसा निकलकर अधर में ही टंग गया हो। रात में वह काले भूत-सा लगता है, दिन में उसकी छाया इतनी गहरी नहीं हो पाती जितना काला उसका जिस्म है और अगर चितेरे को छायाचित्र बनाना हो तो शायद उसका-सा ‘अभिप्राय’ और न मिलेगा। प्रचंड धूप में भी उसका सूखा शरीर उतनी ही गहरी छाया ज़मीन पर डालता जैसे रात की उजियारी चांदनी में। जब से होश संभाला है, जब से आंख खोली है, देखने का अभ्यास किया है, तब से बराबर मुझे उसका निस्पंद, नीरस, अर्थहीन शरीर ही दिख पड़ा है। पर पिछली पीढ़ी के जानकार कहते हैं कि एक जमाना था जब पीपल और बरगद भी उसके सामने शरमाते थे और उसके पत्तों से, उसकी टहनियों और डालों से टकराती हवा की सरसराहट दूर तक सुनाई पड़ती थी। पर आज वह नीरव है, उस चौराहे का जवाब जिस पर उत्तर-दक्षिण, पूरब-पश्चिम चारों ओर की राहें मिलती हैं और जिनके सहारे जीवन अविरल बहता है। जिसने कभी जल को जीवन की संज्ञा दी, उसने निश्चय जाना होगा की प्राणवान जीवन भी जल की ही भांति अविकल, अविरल बहता है। सो प्राणवान जीवन, मानव संस्कृति का उल्लास उपहार लिए उन चारों राहों की संधि पर मिलता था जिसके एक कोण में उस प्रवाह से मिल एकांत शुष्क आज वह ठूँठ खड़ा है। उसके अभागी परंपरा में संभवतः एक ही सुखद अपवाद है – उसके अंदर का स्नेहरस सूख जाने से संज्ञा का लोप हो जाना। संज्ञा लुप्त हो जाने से कष्ट की अनुभूति कम हो जाती है।

Section A (Reading-10 marks)
Q.1 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow (5*1=5)
Right from childhood, a human being starts enjoying the pleasure of reading. As a child, he learns the ways of life through reading and writing. He is thrilled by going through new little –things and learning through them. The pleasure one derives from reading, is indeed recreative as well as instructive. The mental effects of reading create a strange sense of pleasure. Reading provides an ecstasy and intellectual exertion. Reading of novels or interesting literature makes a person forget the worries and cares of life. The reading of a newspaper, periodical, journal, etc. which is light reading, gives the reader knowledge about human life around and solves his curiosity for knowledge about the world. Newspapers and journals give information about the events taking place in the world and happenings in the state and the locality a person lives in. The newspapers also publish important news and views in the fields of economics, politics and science. Reading of newspaper is indispensable for even a little educated citizen in modern society. The reading of novels is the most popular pastime of a large number of people. The attraction of novel lies in its ability to create interest, to sustain it and take the reader to the heights of imagination and luxurious fiction. All fiction is somewhat connected with life and gives in words the pictures drawn from real life or from imagination. Next, we come to the books of travel and adventure. The spirit of adventure is in the very blood of man. A man wants glamour and romantic life, full of adventure and the material spirit. Books of travel and adventure infuse a spirit of fearlessness which the travellers, who are heroes of the books, may inspire in us. Whatever type of books one reads, reading is always a source of pleasure and enjoyment. The habit of reading is a sign of good culture. It is a source of knowledge and the best means of making use of one’s leisure. Books are, after all, a gold mine of knowledge, art, literature and science. Books are not only useful, instructive but also entertaining and recreative.

Q.2 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: (5*1=5)
1. The Road to Success is not straight; there is a curve called failure, a loop called confusion, speed bumps called friends, caution-lights called family, and you will have flats called jobs. But, if you have a spark called determination, an engine called perseverance, insurance called faith, and a driver called God, you will make it to a place called success!
2. In spite of all our planning and preparation, unexpected challenges are certain to arise. The bumps in the road are unavoidable, but you'll never get to your destination if you aren't willing to drive, over them. The difference between a disaster and triumph lies in whether or not you’re prepared and willing to weather the storm. If you're ready, those bumps will become steppingstones.
3. The key thing to realise is that working harder is the same as working smarter. How do you work smarter? You just need to have the right skills. People want improved circumstances and better life without an improved self. They want victory without paying the price or making efforts. It really cannot happen without the other. Any improvements that have not been generated by improving yourself are superficial and short-lived. If you want to have a better future, you have to change yourself. Stop worrying about the various challenges that will come your way. Just believe in yourself and use them as stepping-stones.
4. 'Success' is getting whatever you want out of life without violating the rights of others. It is not an accident. Success is the result of our attitude and our attitude is a choice. Hence success is a matter of choice and not chance.
5. Today success represents a holistic and positive attitude to life Attitude is everything. Success isn’t restricted within some kind of brick-and-mortar premises. It assumes the individuality of a complete act executed with perfection; material achievements do not define life. We don’t remember sports stars for the products they endorse but the spirit of achievement they represent. In the abundance of positive attitude, lies the grandeur of a truly rewarding rich life. Success can be measured from two standpoints-the external and the internal. Externally it is the measure of a job well done and recognition. Internally, it is the feeling of achievement and wholeness derived from the completion of a task or fulfillment of desire.
(i) Success comes to those who :
a) can transform bumps to failure
b) can transform bumps to stepping-stones
c) do not have the right attitude
d) do not preserve
(ii) External success can be defined as:
a) a feeling of triumph
b) feeling of dissatisfaction
c) the measure of a job well done and recognition
d) a feeling of achievement
(iii)The bumps or hardships are the ...........to success.
(a) destination
(b) skills
(c) stepping stones
(d) planning
(iv) 'Weather the storm' means:
a) a difficult situation
b) to face any challenge that meets a person
c) to go out on a stormy day
d) an easy situation
(v) The synonym of Victory' in the passage in paragraph 2 is :
a) planning
b) preparation
c) triumph
d) challenges
