Page 10 : https://material.kalvikadal.in, , ENGLISH, Herodotus, , .in, , www.kalvikadal.in, , 10, , Vasco da Gama, , D ik, A ad, L al, , Herodotus was an ancient Greek historian. He was born in the Persian Empire (Modern Turkey). He is, called “The Father of History”., Vasco da Gama was a Portuguese explorer. His initial voyage to India was the first to link Europe and, Asia by an ocean route., , It was considered adventurous and dangerous to travel in those days, because at the time nobody, ventured into this sort of travel due to the unpredictable weather conditions lack of knowledge of, directions to landmarks, etc., , .Kk, a, Alv, , Mahatma Gandhi, Che Guevera, Guru Nanak and Gauthama Buddha are some of the famous, personalities and thinkers who made extensive journeys to understand life. Do you think, journeys can be life changing?, •, , As it is said travel is 20% adventure and 80% self-discovery, I think the great personalities, like Mahatma Gandhi, Che Guevera, Guru Nanak and Gauthama Buddha have shaped up their, personalities in many ways due to the extensive journeys they made., , •, , When Gandhi returned to India at the age of 46, he started travelling widely among the country,, helping to settle many local disputes. It was this quality of his that made him loveable throughout, the country., , •, , A journey of nine months immensely changed Che Guevera’s views on politics, people and himself, and transformed him into a revolutionary., , s:K, //w, A, LwV, wI, , Prose, , His First Flight, , Discuss, why it was considered as an adventurous and dangerous thing to travel in those, days, , •, , Guru Nanak travelled widely in his life time and went as far as Assam in the east, Sri Lanka in, the south, Tibet in the north and Mecca and Baghdad in the west. During his 24 year travels, he, founded a new faith, which is today being followed by the Sikhs., , •, , Gauthama Buddha came to know about the sufferings of the people and philosophy and irony of, life when he travelled out of the palace, which ended in his enlightenment under the Bodhi tree., After that for long 45 years Buddha travelled with his disciples to preach his doctrines., , •, , Because of their extensive journess, their life got changed. So, I think, journeys can be life, changing., , When I was studying Class IX, my classmates and I were taken for a picnic to a zoo in the, thick of the forest. First we were thrilled to see the mighty trees and greenery. After that we saw a, python which was kept in a glassed cave. Alongside, we saw many kinds of snakes. Seeing this, all my, friends started screaming. When we turned to the left, there was a passage which led to a fenced area,, where we saw elephants, leopard, lion, tiger, boar, hippopotamus and so on. Each one of them was put, up in a separate enclosure. It was very frightening to see the lion. But when we kept on watching over, and again more fiery animals, the fear of seeing them diminished. This was a memorable experience, for me., , ht, , tp, , UNIT 1, , Share a memorable trip from your life. Have you ever been on an adventurous journey?

But this is an unprecedented achievement for the whole mankind. That is, this sort, of mission never took place in the past before his. So Armstrong said these words., , D ik, A ad, L al, , •, , 10, , Have you ever seen a bird making its first ever attempt to fly?, , The young seagull looked down desperately at the vast expanse of sea that stretched, down beneath his ledge. He was afraid to take its first flight. His parents had flown away along with his, brothers and his little sister, leaving him alone on the rock without food. They could all fly because they, believed in the power of wings. But he did not realise his power. So he could not fly. He had tried many, times to run forward to the edge of the ledge and flap his wings, but he became afraid. Though his, parents had tried numerous times to support him to fly, he thought that his wings would not support, him. He was terribly scared., , s:K, //w, A, LwV, wI, , He was starving and felt that he would die if he did not get any food. He saw his mother, tearing a piece of fish with her beak. When he cried out to her she just screamed back mockingly. The, sight of food maddened him. He cried at her but she just screamed back mockingly. Suddenly, he felt, the joy, seeing his mother approaching him with food. But she stopped opposite him, keeping the fish, just out of his reach. Maddened by hunger, he dived at the fish. But his mother flew upward and he, started falling. He was terrified for a moment but then he opened his wings and realized that he was, flying. Then he knew the fact that he was born to fly. To the delight and surprise of his entire family,, he had made his first flight., , GLOSSARY, , B.P.No. 5, , –, –, , a narrow shelf that juts out from a vertical surface, producing a high-pitched and piercing voice or sound, , herring (n), , –, , a long silver fish that swims in large groups in the sea, , devour (v), cackle (n), , –, –, , to eat something eagerly and in large amounts, so that nothing is left, a sharp, broken noise or cry of a hen, goose or seagull, , mackerel (n), gnaw (v), , –, –, , a sea fish with a strong taste, often used as food, to bite or chew something repeatedly, , trot (v), , –, , to run at a moderate pace with short steps, , precipice (n), , –, , a very steep side of a cliff or a mountain, , tp, , ledge (n), shrilly (adv.), , ht, , Prose, , .Kk, a, Alv, , ‘His First Flight’ was a short story written by Liam O’ Flaherty who was an Irish novelist, and short story writer.

Their, slamming of the doors aroused their mother. After enquiring them, she suspected a burglar in the, house. She wanted to call the police. But the phone was downstairs and no one tried to go downstairs, because they were frightened. She then made a quick decision of throwing a shoe through a pane of, glass. The glass broke into the bed room of the Bodwells. She tried to convey to them that there was, a burglar in the house. But Mr. Bodwell was furious with her, screaming and shaking his fist. He called, the police, thinking that there was a burglar in his house.

The reason was that he was, going through a phase in which he believed that General Meade’s men, because of the attack by, Stonewall Jackson, were beginning to retreat and even desert. But they did not listen. They entered, and Grandfather believed that the police were deserters from Meade’s army, trying to hide away in his, attic. When they did so, Grandfather took his zither gun and fired at them in which one police man, was shot in the arm. Then he fired once or twice more in the darkness and went back to bed. The, next morning Grandfather was fresh and was full of jokes at breakfast. They thought at first that he, had forgotten all about what had happened. But he had not. Over his third cup of coffee, he stared at, the narrator and Herman and asked them why the cops were wandering round the house the previous, night. He complained that none of them remembered to keep a bottle of water beside his bed.

But not just any tie. He, wanted a tie with a small embroidered G. Any colour would do, as long as it had his initial. Look,, this is a special flight, I explained. We are only staying Saturday through Tuesday. On the day, we arrived I didn’t have time to think about the tie, but strolling around on Sunday I did see one, shop window. They were cheap, just a dollar, but all the shops were closed., , 5., , .Kk, a, Alv, , It was only when I saw our airport bus waiting outside the hotel that I remembered the, tie. I told the group to go on. I would get a taxi to the airport. And so I went in search of a, nearby shop where I had seen ties. But I couldn’t find it. I walked further down the street-one,, two, three blocks - all in vain. Back at the hotel, a bit anxious now, I took my suitcase, got a taxi, and asked the driver to rush to the street where I had seen them. The driver stopped at each, shop we passed so I could look from the window. The stores had all sorts of ties, but not the, kind I was looking for. When I finally thought I had located the right shop, I decided to go in, and check. The driver refused to wait. Parking was prohibited, he said. I promised to double the, fare, jumped out and ran into the shop. Was I going to miss the plane just for a damned tie? The, salesman was unbearably slow. When I realized that the smallest change I had was a ten dollar, note, I grabbed ten ties of different colours so I wouldn’t have to wait for change. I rushed out, with the ties in a paper bag., Things are not that easy., , s:K, //w, A, LwV, wI, , On the street I looked around. The taxi had vanished, taking my suitcase. What is more, I, was going to miss the plane. I ran to the corner, and hope flared up again: the taxi was waiting in, the next street. Quick to the airport! As I settled down inside the taxi. I sighed with relief. Gilson, was going to have enough initialized ties to last him a lifetime., , 6., , Hurry invites worry., , When I reached the airport, I paid the taxi driver the double fare and grabbed my suitcase., Panting, I boarded the plane under the reproachful gaze of the other passengers, all primly, seated with their seat belts fastened. Ready to take off. Departure had been delayed because, of me. “At least I hope you found your tie”, said one who knew the story. “I did”, I answered, triumphantly. After making myself comfortable, I reached for the paper bag to show the ties. I, had left it behind; in the taxi., , Look at the following situations the writer was in.

The poet gives a vivid, picture of neighbourhood scenes. She says that there is a family which nobody wants to meet. They, live on ‘Complaining’ street in a city called ‘Never-Are-satisfied’. The river of ‘Discontent’ runs beside it., They always complain about everything. They will never be satisfied and they are always discontented., They find fault with everything. They grumble at everything whether they live a high or, low life. The weather is always too hot or cold for them. They scold summer and winter in the same, way. Nothing will go well with these people., If they are pleased with something they will growl saying that they have nothing to grumble, about. The funniest thing is that no member of the family will be ready to acknowledge the family. If, someone stays with them for long he will also get their way of life. He will also start grumbling about, everything.

His clinic was always with the noise of children., One day he informed his wife that his friend Somu was going to Alaska and his pet bird Zigzag would be, left with them for a few days. His daughter Maya and his son Arvind were interested to keep the bird., Dr. Krishnan explained to them that Zigzag was a lovely bird which was given to Somu by an African, witch doctor. Mrs. Krishnan was not much convinced and she said that it would give a lot of problems, to them. Somu had given them an insect eating plant, a pen knife and a boomerang.

He tried to recollect old memories of his two-hundredyear-old big ancestral house, school, schoolmates, and the tea stall of Nagen uncle. But he also feared,, they might have changed with time and sweet memories of the past might disappoint him., , .Kk, a, Alv, , The sun was on the western horizon, about to set in. As harvest was over, raw paddy fields, were visible on either side of the road. Soon within 10 minutes, they reached the school. Beyond the, iron-gates were the playing field and the two-storeyed school building., , s:K, //w, A, LwV, wI, , Aditya explained the change- the old building had another floor now and a new building, had come up. The author asked Aditya whether he was good in studies. He said that he always stood, second. They had a cup of tea with two nankhatai biscuits at Nagen Uncle’s tea stall. They met a, stranger there, referred to as Mr. Sanyal by Nagen Uncle. He was a peculiar man. He was neither, eating, nor drinking tea. Instead he was sitting with head bent over the tea-table, as if daydreaming., He was hard of hearing, and his sight was not that good as explained by Nagen Uncle, but being a poor, man, couldn’t afford to buy spectacles. Nagen Babu requested him to leave the shop as the afternoon, customers would be coming in soon. The man suddenly stood up and began to recite Rabindranath, Tagore’s “ Panraksha”. Having recited, he left the place., Nagen Uncle explained that Sasanka Sanyal was living with his friend Jogesh Kabiraj. He, lost his wife and only son last year. He had sold all his lands to get his daughter married. He almost, became a pauper and became somewhat crazy since then, due to mental stress. But he didn’t forget, any memories of the past and possessed a high self-esteem and respect. He never failed to pay his bill, at the tea stall., Aditya said that he wished to meet the man in person and drove to the place. Aditya’s, house was surrounded by high walls. The building was in ruins. They reached the attic, on the second, floor of the building. It was in a dilapidated condition and a portion of the wall had crumbled down, creating a window-hole. The floor was not cleaned for long and scattered with straw, twigs and pigeon, droppings. Also there was a broken cricket bat, remains of a former armchair and a wooden packing, case., Aditya stood on the packing case and pushed his hand inside the ventilator. A sparrow’s, nest was disturbed, a part of which fell on the ground, and he could find the thing that he was looking, for- that was an antique inside a jeweler’s box. Then he urged the author to go to Jogesh Kabiraj’s, house, where Sasanka Sanyal was living. Sasanka was busy reciting verses from Tagore. He allowed, them to come in. Except for a lone charpoy, there was nothing to sit on. When Aditya asked him, whether he remembered him, he said that he remembered him clearly. He was the spoilt child of rich, parents, a good student who used to tell lies and was extremely jealous of him., , ht, , tp, , UNIT 4, , Prose, , The Attic, , ‘The Attic’ is a short story written by Satyajit Ray. The writer with his friend and business, partner Aditya was driving back from their factory at Deodarganj. As they reached a point of bifurcation,, the author asked his friend about his willingness to take the road,that deviated to the right. That road, led to the ancestral home of Aditya, at Bramhapur. His father was a landlord there and later shifted to, business at Calcutta. He was born and brought up at Bramhapur. After passing matriculation from the, local school, he had left for Calcutta to continue his further studies., , 106, , Please send your Materials & Question Papers to

He runs a good tea shop and hence lot of, people come there to have tea and savouries. To this shop Aditya comes even after twenty-nine years, simply remembering the location. Even Sanyal comes daily to have tea and biscuits. Besides, he is a, gentle and caring human being. Since Sanyal’s vision and hearing ability are weak, he tells him to go, home at about four o’ clock before other customers come. This may be taken that it would be difficult, for him to get back home after four. So he tells him to do so.

Physical activity has also been linked to psychological benefits by, improving the control children have over the symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Those were barbarous days, and the custom of abandoning old people to die was not, uncommon. The poor farmer loved his aged with tender reverence, and the order filled his heart with, sorrow.

Her son did not know the mountain’s many paths and, his return might be one of danger, so she stretched forth her hand and snapping the twigs from bushes, as they passed, she quietly dropped a handful every few steps of the way so that they climbed, the, narrow path behind them was dotted at frequent intervals with tiny piles of twigs. At last the summit, was reached. Weary and heart sick, the youth gently released his burden and silently prepared a place, of comfort as his last duty to the loved one. Gathering fallen pine needles, he made a soft cushion and, tenderly lifted his old mother onto it. Her wrapped her padded coat more closely about the stooping, shoulders and with tearful eyes and an aching heart he said farewell., , ht, , tp, , UNIT 4, , .Kk, a, Alv, , The Aged Mother, , 1., , 144, , Please send your Materials & Question Papers to

Today it is possible, when anything is below predetermined limit or certain threshold. Our refrigerator can directly link, to the e-commerce site and order anything that is about to exhaust. For example, if we are running, out of milk, it can order milk. Consumable products such as ink cartridges may be capable of selfordering replacements when the current level falls below a certain threshold. In addition, managing, entertainment and home appliances by voice commands or by swapping a finger is a reality now. Also,, if we get bored by the program, we can tell our smart TV to view our social feed. If we are struck in a, traffic jam, we can make the kettle get some tea for us.

In the beginning, the reader is informed about how machines are produced, and what kind of treatment they need. Afterwards the machines explain how they can serve humanity., But machines are not only useful, but also they can lead to big disasters, if they are not used in the, right way., The first stanza states that machines were taken from the ore-bed and the mine. They were, melted in the furnace and the pit. They were hammered to design. They were cut and filed to fit in, its place. The second stanza explains that all they require are some water, coal and oil. They require, some space to set them work and start working immediately. If they are set properly they will serve, people twenty four hours a day., , s:K, //w, A, LwV, wI, , The third stanza enumerates the various types of tasks different type of machines do in our, life. They can pull, haul, lift, drive, print, plough, wave, heat, light, run, swim, fly, hear, count, read, and write. These tasks are done by machines in different workplaces faster and accurately. The fourth, stanza reminds us that they are not built to tell lies. They neither love nor pity nor forgive. They do, not have feelings. If human beings make a mistake in handling them, they will be dangerous – they, will kill the people., The final stanza reminds us the irony of the machines. They help us a lot in our life’s activities., Smoke may be created by us and it may block the sight of the sky. But it is for only a few minutes, and then the sky will be clear. They confess one thing that all their power, weight and size are nothing, compared to human brain. It is the human brain that creates them.

He, wrote over 30 books including autobiographies, novels and plays., , .Kk, a, Alv, , The central theme of the poem is that war is a mistaken notion and all people on earth, are connected through their common humanity. The poet describes a number of similarities that we, share with our supposed enemies. The poet notes that underneath every soldier’s uniform, the soldier, breathes as we do. The soldiers who oppose us all walk on the earth, as we do, and they also share, the sun, drink water, and enjoy the harvests of the earth. In addition, we share similar body parts,, such as hands that labour and eyes that wake from sleep. After drawing all these similarities, the poet, asks the reader to recall that when we are asked to hate others, it is really ourselves that we hate. If, we fight each other, we destroy the earth that we share and destroy innocence everywhere. When we, fight others, we forget that our enemies are not foreign but are like ourselves. So the poet concludes, that we shouldn’t have wars because it is quite unnatural to fight against us., Their hands are ours, and in their lines we read, A labour not different from our own, 2., , The poem ‘No Men Are Foreign’ has a greater relevance in today’s world.

He, wrote over 30 books including autobiographies, novels and plays., The poem ‘No Men are Foreign’ by James Falconer Kirkup points out why it is wrong to, hate others based on differences such as race, culture, or geography. The speaker stresses that all, people are similar and part of the brotherhood of man. At the end of the poem, the speaker mentions, how unnatural warfare is because it is fighting against ourselves. The poem covers various points, of similarity between people from all countries: people have hands like ours, they labour as we do,, and they have eyes like ours that wake to see a similar world. Hating other people because they are, different, or raising arms against other people, is a condemnation of ourselves: it is the human earth,, our own earth that we defile. In today’s world each country wants to fight with the other for the sake, of its supremacy. They hate each other to maintain their economy and social status. Even men hate, each other for silly reasons forgetting that we are all brothers and sisters.

He opened and closed the gates, to allow the ships to pass., When Peter was eight years old his mother sent him to his blind friend to give him some cake., She wanted him to come back before sun set. He walked along the dykes and spend some time with, the blind friend. Then he returned. As he walked along the canal he noticed the rain had swollen the, water level. He was happy that the walls were very strong. Suddenly he noticed the sun was setting, and he remembered his mother’s words.
