He was then studying in the, New English School, Mumbai. Ramakant Achrekar was the cricket coach at Shardashram, Vidyamandir School. He ran summer camps. One day his brother Ajit took him to the camp, to get trained by Achrekar. At the time, Sachin was 11 years old. He asked Sachin to bat, but, he did not feel comfortable. Achrekar told his brother to bring Sachin a little older. Sachin’s, brother explained to him that he was a little nervous. He asked if he could go away and then, watch from a distance. When he did so, Sachin began to hit the ball well. Achrekar then, allowed him to join the camp. Sachin was very happy. This opportunity transformed his life., , , , tt, , As a child, Sachin had only one set of cricket clothes which he would wash as soon, as he returned from the morning session and dry them in the sun while he had lunch. He, would then wear them in the afternoon. His pockets were always wet for the entire duration, of the camp. Achrekar had told his brother that he had the potential to be a good cricketer, if he practiced all year round., , , , Sachin would practise between 7.30 a.m. and 10.30 a.m. in the morning and then, in the afternoon he would come back and practice till evening.

Sachin, hated being dragged off, but now he holds Achrekar in high regard for his farsightedness., At times when he bunked his daily evening practice sessions to watch an inter-school cricket, match, Achrekar would get angry with him. He said if he practiced hard enough, one day, people across the world would come and watch him play. Sachin is happy about what he is, today. He gives his credit to Achrekar., , ps K, :// A, wL, wV, wI, , UNIT 1, , Sachin’s evening session would start at 5 p.m. after a thirty-minute break.

In, the session, the bowlers in the camp would come and bowl to him with sixty-seventy boys, fielding. It meant he had to hit every ball along the ground to survive those intense fifteen, minutes. Then he would make him run two full circuits of Shivaji Park with his pads and, gloves on.

What Achrekar said to him became a reality., Hence he says so., Page 6, B. Answer the following in a paragraph of 120-150 words:, , ‘Achrekar was a sincere coach’. Substantiate., First of all Achrekar was really a sincere coach right from the beginning to end., That is to say what Sachin is today. The rigorous practice sessions he held for boys, from 7.30 a.m. to 7 p.m. were really exhausting for Sachin. During camp, Achrekar, had told his brother that he had the potential to be a good cricketer if he practiced, all year round. Seeing his potential, Achrekar asked Sachin’s father to change him to, Shardhashram Vidyamandir where Achrekar was the cricket coach, as the school where, Sachin studied did not have any cricket facilities. Towards the last 15 minutes, keeping, the one-rupee coin on the top of the stumps and making him run two full circuits of, Shivaji Park with his pads and gloves on, showed his sincerity for coaching boys for real, cricket. At times, when Sachin bunked the training, the act of following him home and, dragging him out for practice at the nets was simply fantastic., ‘Leadership is more about responsibility than ability’, , ps K, :// A, wL, wV, wI, , UNIT 1, , 6, , 2., , , , tt, , , , Narrate in your own words the hardships underwent by Sachin to become a, great cricketer., The first hardship was when Achrekar asked him to bat.

The second hardship was the rigorous training that, Achrekar gave to Sachin from morning 7. 30 a.m. to evening 7 p.m. He was exhausted, by the end of the day. Then his travel by bus to and from home for the practice really, made him feel embarrassed, as many bus conductors would be rude to him for the, kitbag. They asked him to buy a second ticket, but he did not have money. The third, hardship was about the one set of cricket clothes he had and the routine was he had to, wash them as soon as he returned from the morning session and put them for drying, out, to wear them for afternoon practice with wet pockets. When he returned home, most of the days he did not get a seat on the bus. He went standing with the heavy, kitbag., ‘Hardwork is the Key to Success’, , Please send your Materials & Question Papers to

You may, use the following points., Cyclone, A cyclone is a large scale air mass that rotates around a strong, centre of low atmospheric pressure. Cyclones are characterized by, inward spiralling winds that rotate about a zone of low pressure., Cyclones originate over the sea and travel about 300 to 500 km a, day, drawing heat energy from the ocean waters. The main effects, of tropical cyclones include heavy rain, strong wind, large storm surges at landfall, and, tornadoes. The destruction by a tropical cyclone depends mainly on its intensity, its size,, and its location., After the cyclone, • Don’t go outside until officially advised it is safe., • Check for gas leaks...., • Listen to local radio for official warnings and advice., • If you have to evacuate, or did so earlier, don’t return until advised...., • Beware of damaged power lines, bridges, buildings, trees, and don’t enter, floodwaters., Floods, A flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is, usually dry. A flood occurs when a river bursts its banks and the water, spills onto the floodplain. Flooding tends to be caused by heavy rain:, the faster the rainwater reaches the river channel, the more likely, it is to flood. Floods can have devastating consequences and can, have effects on the economy, environment and people. During floods (especially flash, floods), roads, bridges, farms, houses and automobiles are destroyed. People become, homeless., , ps K, :// A, wL, wV, wI, , A., , .Kk, a, Alv, , Look at the pictures of cyclone, floods, earthquake and tsunami., , Please send your Materials & Question Papers to

Earthquakes are caused by tectonic, movements in the Earth’s crust. The main cause is tectonic plates ride, one over the other, causing orogeny (mountain building), and severe, earthquakes. The boundaries between moving plates form the largest fault surfaces on, Earth. The ground shaking may also cause landslides, mudslides, and avalanches on, steeper hills or mountains, all of which can damage buildings and hurt people. The, second main earthquake hazard is ground displacement (ground movement) along a, fault., • Check yourself and others for injuries...., • Check water, gas, and electric lines for damage...., • Turn on the radio...., • Stay out of damaged buildings., • Be careful around broken glass and debris...., • Be careful of chimneys (they may fall on you)., • Stay away from beaches...., • Stay away from damaged areas., , Tsunami, A tsunami or tidal wave, also known as a seismic sea wave,, is a series of waves in a water body caused by the displacement, of a large volume of water. A tsunami is a series of large waves, generated by an abrupt movement on the ocean floor that can result, from an earthquake, an underwater landslide, a volcanic eruption, or - very rarely - a large meteorite strike. However, powerful undersea earthquakes are, responsible for most tsunamis. The amount of energy and water contained in a huge, tsunami can cause extreme destruction when it strikes land. The initial wave of a huge, tsunami is extremely tall; however, most damage is not sustained by this wave., if you are under a tsunami warning,, • First, protect yourself from an earthquake...., • Get to high ground as far inland as possible., • Be alert to signs of a tsunami, such as a sudden rise or draining of ocean waters., • Listen to emergency information and alerts., , , , tt, , , , ps K, :// A, wL, wV, wI, , UNIT 3, , During a flood, • Seek higher ground. ..., • Be aware of flash flood areas such as canals, streams, drainage channels., • Be ready to evacuate., If instructed, turn off utilities at main switches and unplug appliances - do not touch, electrical equipment if wet., If you must leave your home, do not walk through moving water., , Please send your Materials & Question Papers to

They also provide us, with the materials for tools and shelter., , 3., , How long does it take a tree to grow to its full size?, Some trees are slow growers which take 20-30 years to reach full size, and some are, fast growers, which take 10-15 years to reach full size., , .Kk, a, Alv, , 1., , ps K, :// A, wL, wV, wI, , UNIT 3, , Warm Up, , 4., , How much time does it take to cut down a tree?, Tree fellers say that we can cut down a tree with an axe in about 15 minutes., , Summary, , The poem ‘On Killing a Tree’ was one of the poems of his poetry collection named, ‘Poems’ published in 1966. This collection was launched by Nissim Ezekiel. Most of Patel’s, poems centre on the human body. ‘On Killing a Tree’, too, is one such poem., The poem is set on a very visual plane. The descriptions are vivid and the mood is sad., There also hangs a sense of darkness upon the poem. The pain felt by the trees, as imagined, by Patel, dominates the mood of the poem., , , , tt, , , , It tells us that killing a tree is not easy. It is very time-consuming. A cut of a knife is not, enough. A tree grows straight out of the earth, nourishing itself on the nutrients found in the, earth, along with years of sunlight, water, and air. And even though the bark looks irregular, and scaly, leaves and branches sprout out of it. The hack of a knife or an axe, or chopping, off a bough is not enough to bring a tree down. These jabs may cause pain on the tree but, the pain is not enough to kill it. The ‘bleeding bark’, the part where it has been wounded or, where a bough is cut off, will heal with time. New green twigs will grow again; branches cut, off will be replaced by new branches, which will grow into their former size., , Please send your Materials & Question Papers to

Page 79 : https://material.kalvikadal.in, , .i, , www.kalvikadal.in, , 71, , D ik, A ad, L al, , 9TH STANDARD, , The poet explains how a tree could be killed. He says that to kill a tree, its root has to, be pulled out. The root, which is the source of a tree’s life, must be pulled out of its cave, in, order to mortally harm the tree. By ‘earth cave’ the poet means the point, deep inside the, earth, where the root is attached. Once the centre, the life source- the root is exposed, the, tree becomes vulnerable., The exposed-life source, which when left open to the sun and air, will be scorched, due to the heat and the air won’t be able to reach the scorched places to relieve it of the, heat.

A lot of work has to be done in, order to kill a tree completely. It cannot be accomplished by merely cutting it with a, knife. The tree has grown strong with the help of the earth for countless years. Even, the bark of the tree gives rise to branches. The bleeding bark heals and sprouts, new twigs and leaves. In a short period, they grow into a new tree. So, to kill a tree, completely, one should take out its roots completely from the soil. Then they should be, exposed to sunlight. Only then the tree will be completely killed., , D., , Based on the understanding of the poem, answer the following questions in, a sentence or two., , 1., , What is the poem about?, The poem is about how to kill a tree completely., , 2., , What are the lessons to be learnt from the poem?, It is not easy to kill a tree with an ordinary knife., , 3., , What are the life sources needed for a tree to grow?, Sunlight, air and water are the life sources needed for a tree to grow., , , , tt, , , , ps K, :// A, wL, wV, wI, , 5., , And out of its leprous hide, Sprouting leaves., , .Kk, a, Alv, , 3., , D ik, A ad, L al, , u ENGLISH, , Please send your Materials & Question Papers to

The, descriptions are vivid and the mood is sad. There also hangs a sense of darkness upon, the poem. The pain felt by the trees, as imagined by Patel, dominates the mood of the, poem. It tells us that killing a tree is not easy. It is very time-consuming. A cut of a knife, is not enough. A tree grows straight out of the earth, nourishing itself on the nutrients, found in the earth, along with years of sunlight, water, and out. And even though the, bark looks irregular and scaly, leaves and branches sprout out of it. The hack of a knife, or an axe, or chopping off a bough is not enough to bring a tree down. These jabs may, inflict pain on the tree but the pain is not enough to kill it. The ‘bleeding bark’, the part, where it has been wounded or where a bough is chopped off, will heal with time. New, green twigs will grow again; boughs chopped off will be replaced by new boughs, which, will grow into their former size., , ps K, :// A, wL, wV, wI, , ‘A tree doesn’t grow in a day.’ Explain it with reference to the poem., The poem is set on a very visual plane. The descriptions are vivid and the mood is, sad. There also hangs a sense of darkness upon the poem. The pain felt by the trees, as, imagined by Patel, dominates the mood of the poem. It tells us that killing a tree is not, easy. It is very time-consuming. A cut of a knife is not enough. A tree grows straight out, the earth. It gets its nourishment from earth. It gets the nutrients found in the earth,, along with years of sunlight, water, and air. It gets the sunlight and air from nature for, many years to become a big tree. Its root which is its strength stays under the earth, for many years to give nutrients from the earth. When the root is pulled out the tree, dies. So a tree takes a lot of time to grow., , tt, , 2., , , , 5., , , , What does the poet mean by ‘bleeding bark’?, When the barks of some trees are cut with a knife they give out a sticky fluid.

What effect, does it have on you as a reader?, The poem is set on a very visual plane. The descriptions are vivid and the mood is, sad. There also hangs a sense of darkness upon the poem. The pain felt by the trees,, as imagined by Patel, dominates the mood of the poem. It tells us that killing a tree is, not easy. It is very time-consuming. A cut of a knife is not enough. A tree grows straight, out the earth, nourishing itself on the nutrients found in the earth, along with years of, sunlight, water, and air. First of all the poet wants to convey that Nature has provided, the tree to the humans for their use. Nature gives all its nutrients to the tree for a long, time to become a tree. So we should not kill a tree with such difficulty. The tree may, be compared to many things. The root may be the native land. If people are removed, from the land they are almost dead. Or root may the love which binds all of us.

Trees absorb carbon dioxide from the, atmosphere and release oxygen using the process of photosynthesis. There would also, be no rain without trees since trees absorb water from the soil and release it through, evapo transpiration. Water vapor released through evapo transpiration is the major, mechanism by which air is remoistened. Forests act as giant air filters for the world., Trees purify the air by absorbing pollutants such as sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide,, reducing pollution.

Trees conserve rainwater and reduce water, runoff and sediment deposit after storms. Additionally, trees provide a supply of lumber,, seeds, and fruit. Further, dead trees that fall and get buried in the soil eventually, provide fossil fuels such as coal and petroleum products, among other things. Trees can, also act as noise filters.

What will they talk about?, , .Kk, a, Alv, , J.C. Bose, the great Indian scientist, has proved that trees have life as do the, animals and humans. They feel and react but have no language or tongue to express, their feelings. Only if they had the power of speech, they would express themselves, in much the same way as we do. Leaves would say how they hate winter that predicts, their impending death. Tree trunks would boast to one another of their advanced age, and experience. Fruits would tell stories about their childhood. Branches would talk, about the visits they have had from their insect, bird and animal friends. The spring, would have sweet songs of welcome from them., , ps K, :// A, wL, wV, wI, , The trees would also react to express their pain. They would say ‘ouch’, if the leaves, on their branches were pricked. They would be found screaming with pain, if we were, cruel enough to break their twigs or branches. Their flowers would cry piteously, when, they were plucked off, and so would every leaf on each tree, if smoke from a nearby, chemical factory were to blow continuously across it. There is no doubt that after being, blessed with the power of speech, the trees would talk of the joys of summer and the, thrill they feel as the cool breeze blows through them., , UNIT 3, , 2., , They would speak of the wonder of being alive and the multiple uses they provide, to all living creatures, including men and women; birds and animals.

Pongo, the policeman asked him, what he had in the box. He replied a cat and said that if he opened the box, the cat would, run inside. But Pongo asked him to open. Clem got very angry, but finally opened his box., The cat jumped out and ran back into the docks. Clem ran after the cat. Two minutes later,, Clem came back with the same box. Pongo allowed him to go. Clem looked angry all the way, home. Then he smiled. He opened the box in the kitchen and took out a large Dutch cheese., , , , tt, , , , The narrator was not lucky.

Page 103 : https://material.kalvikadal.in, , .i, , www.kalvikadal.in, , 95, , 9TH STANDARD, , D ik, A ad, L al, , The poem opens with a dialogue between a predator (the spider) and a prey (the fly)., The spider portrays his home as a mysterious place, as the ‘prettiest little parlour’ to trick the, little fly into his web. The fly understands that it’s a trap and rejects his invitation by saying, that she knows that whoever goes in there, never comes out., , .Kk, a, Alv, , This time the spider tries to befriend the fly by calling her ‘Dear friend’. Again, he tries, to persuade the fly to fulfil his wish by offering her good food from his pantry. The fly is,, however, determined not to be tricked by the cunning spider. The spider does not give up., He calls her a ‘Sweet creature’ that is witty and wise. He acknowledges the fly’s smartness, and decides to coax her by repeatedly praising her. He also admires her appearance. Perhaps, it affects the fly’s reply. She shifts her tone from a firm “O no, no!” to a soft “I thank you,, gentle sir”. This is the first instance where the readers are made to anticipate the fate of the, fly. Either the fly is quite flattered or perhaps, she tries to deviate the spider by saying that, she will visit him some other day., , UNIT 4, , Then the spider uses a different trick to convince the fly to enter his home. He fakes, concern for her by saying that she must be tired and offers her to get some rest on his ‘little, bed’. He tries to tempt her with a false sense of security as he says that there are ‘pretty, curtains drawn around’. He tries to appeal to the fly’s heart by cunningly offering a shoulder, to rest. Exhausted or not, the fly is aware of the fact that if she goes in to rest, she might, end up sleeping forever. She refuses the spider’s offer and says that she is absolutely aware, that whoever goes to sleep on his bed never wakes up., , ps K, :// A, wL, wV, wI, , The spider seems even more confident now. The weapon of vanity worked out for, him and he finally deceived the fly to succumb to his evil desires. The fly is bewitched by, the spider’s flattery and decides to slowly approach the spider’s web. The fly is engrossed in, her own beauty.

The scientist says that man attempted to seek, an imaginary elixir of life, the divine Amrita, to confer him immortality. But it ended, in vain. According to him, water is the true elixir of life. Water is the basis of all life., Every animal or plant contains a large portion of water in its body. Without water no, physiological activity is possible. Water plays an important role in the physical growth of, any organism. As water is necessary for animal life, the moisture in the soil is essential, for the life and growth of plants and trees. Thus the conservation and utilization of, water is important for human welfare., , 3., , ‘Life cannot exist on earth without water’ – Explain., In the essay ‘Water – The Elixir of Life’ Sir C V Raman praises the importance of, water, which is the life-giving force to all.

In one sense water is, the commonest of liquids. In another sense, it is the most uncommon of liquids with, amazing properties which are responsible for its unique power of maintaining animal, and plant life. South India is known for its rain-fed tanks. When they are full they cheer, us. But they are not maintained properly. They are shallow and often misused. If these, tanks and ponds are not there, South India will be a desert. Agriculture is not possible, without water. If south Indian Agriculture is sound, it is because of the water in the, tanks and ponds. In the same way, water is essential for any physiological growth of, animal. Thus life cannot exist on earth without water., , ps K, :// A, wL, wV, wI, , .Kk, a, Alv, , 2., , UNIT 5, , see the Libyan Desert where there is no existence of life. It is a desert because of, the shortage of water. On the other side, he could see the fertile areas crowded with, people.

The environment has suffered, from a major climatic change as a result of Global warming which is a result of combustion, of fossil fuels in cars, factories and electricity production. The gas responsible for the, most warming is carbon dioxide, also called CO2., , .Kk, a, Alv, , Global warming has been a subject of debate for the past recent years. The, international community is trying hard to find ways to reduce global warming. It has a, lot of negative consequences. The climate has become worse and unpredictable. The, number of cold and hot days has decreased. This has a lot of negative social impacts to, the universe., When the climate changes, food security is threatened. Food is the most basic, need of every community. It makes adverse effects when threatened. There have, been periods of prolonged droughts especially in arid and semi-arid areas places like, Africa which as a result has led to the increased number of malnourished children in, these places. Drought reduces production of varieties and overall consumption. There, are projected risks of increase in diarrheal diseases and malnutrition especially in low, income population due to the effects of global warming., , ps K, :// A, wL, wV, wI, , UNIT 5, , Global warming is expected to have a far-reaching, long lasting and, in many cases, devastating consequences for planet earth. Mother Nature’s fury ranging from extreme, high temperatures, constant flooding, and the effects of rising temperatures isn’t waiting, for some far-flung future. They’re happening right now. Signs are appearing all over,, and some of them are surprising. The heat is not only melting glaciers and sea ice, it’s, also shifting precipitation patterns and setting animals on the move., , Weather disasters and floods have become unpredictable and more common, destroying human agriculture, forests and infrastructure. Major storms and flood have, occurred in the last two decades. The number of people dying from these disasters has, increased drastically., Migration and conflicts will increase as global warming increases. Communities in, dry areas will look for better places, while people from the coasts will move further, inland as the water sea level rises up. This will in turn bring inter-community conflicts., In developing countries migration will be from rural areas to towns and cities. This will, affect low income countries in Africa and Asia. When this conflict increases to a higher, level it may spark political or even military conflict., , , , tt, , , , In the near future if this problem is not addressed and dealt with properly, it, may destroy human population. Extreme weather changes and unpredictable weather, patterns are a threat to human existence. Human activities which produce carbon, dioxide and carbon monoxide should be reduced, and can only be reduced by “going, green” in everyday of our lives and mostly by planting a tree.

He wrote this short, story, Little Cyclone: The Story of a Grizzly Cub is about a grizzly cub which with courage, faced the challenges from other cubs. The little Cyclone is a grizzly cub from Alaska., It got its name due to its power to resist any ill treatment from others. It was caught, by the hunters after its mother had been shot dead. It was saved by the Zoological, Society’s field agent and sent it to Zoological Park, New York. It was kept in the Nursery, with some more bear cubs. Since Little Cyclone was new, other cubs wanted to test, it. By the time little Czar, a European bear cub wanted to try its fighting spirit with the, new comer. But little Cyclone was quick and gave shot with its paw. The little Czar was, amazed and went back., , D., , Telling the story again., Little Cyclone was a grizzly cub from Alaska and he earned his name by the vigour, of his resistance to ill treatment. When his mother was fired at, they ran away and, came back and slept by the side of the dead mother. The next day at sunrise the two, orphans found themselves at the hands of the hunters. One of them escaped by biting, and scratching the catchers. So the captor let him go. But the other cub was in the, hands of the captor. He was saved by the Zoological Society’s field agent and taken to, the Zoological Park at New York. The Zoological Park had a Bear’s Nursery. Usually a, newcomer is badly scared on his first day but Little Cyclone was courageous. When the, box was opened he stood up with courage and was ready to face any challenge. Two, other cubs tried to attack it, but Little Cyclone courageously met every attempt of the, other cubs. In less than an hour all the bears understood that they should take Little, Cyclone easily.

He was, a genius in Maths even in his school days. His teacher was surprised to know that Ramanujan, talked about the ‘infinitive’. The teacher complimented the boy for asking intelligent, questions in maths. But for other boys his question was absurd. The question about infinity, was answered by great mathematicians after many centuries. Some claimed it as zero, and others claimed it as unity. Finally it was proved as infinity by Indian mathematician, Bhaskara., Ramanujan was born in Erode on December 22, 1887. His father was a petty clerk, in a cloth shop. He used to help his seniors in maths. At the age of 13 he got Loney’s, Trigonometry and studied that. Based on that, he created mathematical theorems and, formulae. One of his seniors showed him ‘Synopsis of Elementary Results in Pure Applied, Mathematics’ by George Shoobridge Carr. This book activated his mathematical genius in, him., , , , He used to solve problems in loose sheets of papers or slate or note books. He filled, in three notebooks before he had gone abroad. These notebooks were called Ramanujan’s, ‘Frayed Notebook’. After his college days, he had to find a job for him to buy papers to do, his sums and for his food. He got a clerical job in Port Trust of India., , , , tt, , Ramanujan sent a letter to the great mathematician G. H. Hardy of Cambridge, University. He included 120 theorems and formulae.

It was difficult to bear, the cold and being a vegetarian he had to cook his own food. Hardy found in him an, unsystematic mathematician for the lack of formal education.

So it was not difficult to exchange their, places – Einstein became Hans and Hans became Einstein. Einstein asked him not to, answer any question.

I owe this love to an embarrassing incident. When I was 15, probably,, in 9th standard, I was the office bearer in the school. The seniors used to conduct, the morning assembly prayer wherein they had to hit the drum with a stick to make, booming sound and command on the mic “stand at ease” or “attention” to the 3000, students in the ground. One fine morning, the seniors were absent and the managing, teacher pulled me to hand over the drumstick to command the 3000 students. There, was no substitute. Everyone gathered. I hit the drum *bang* and started choking and, sweating before I could say “attention”. For some unknown reason I kept hitting the, drum *bang bang bang*. I wanted the ground to swallow me up. I made a mess of the, situation. But this incident made me a public speaker in the school. Today, whenever I, make a public speech, that particular 2.5 minutes boost my confidence.

The gladdest people are, the children from joint family who circle near the fireside. No power other than death, can break them. The rich and the poor folk imagine themselves to be wise and in the, process they shatter their family ties. Each of them goes searching for pleasure in their, own selected way. They harvest only bitterness and find empty joy. But the wisest, among them are the children of the stick-together families. When the busy day is done,, they together share their fun. The stick-together family wins the joy of earth. The old, house shelters all the charm of life. The pet invites wandering brothers to come and join, the stick-together families in their fireside and have fun., , 1., , The stick-together families are the happiest of all. Explain., Edgar Albert Guest in his poem ‘The Stick-together Families’ describes how the, family members of the stick-together families are happy. The members of the sticktogether family are the happiest people. In the families the brothers and sisters are, not together. Happiest people are those whose family members sit in a circle at the, fireside. The best convention is that the family members sit together after the day’s, work is done. The stick-together family gets the joy of the earth. The old home gives, the happiness and it has gladdest playground.

The British soldiers and German soldiers were close to the No-man’s land, which was protected by barbed wires. On Christmas Eve, the British soldiers went to their, dugouts. Tom, the writer of the letter was also in the dugout. There was no shooting but, he had little doubt about the attack from Germans.

The Germans must have also been thinking about the, possible attack., Suddenly John came to Jim and told him that the Germans had a wonderful Christmas, tree. It was decorated with candle or lantern.

He was a round little man with a red face and a whole box of tools with dials, and wires. He smiled at Margie and gave her an apple, then took the teacher apart. Margie, had hoped he wouldn’t know how to put it together again, but he knew how all right, and,, after an hour or so, there it was again, large and black and ugly, with a big screen on, which all the lessons were shown and the questions were asked. That wasn’t so bad. The, part Margie hated most was the slot where she had to put homework and test papers.

She was infatuated with patent medicines and all new methods of producing, health or mending it. She was an incurable experimenter in these things. She began to, try all manners of remedies on Tom. The water treatment was new, now, and Tom’s low, condition was a windfall to her.

Aunt Polly entered in time to, see him throw a few double summer sets, deliver a final mighty hurrah, and sail through, the open window, carrying the rest of the flower-pots with him.

So long as he could remember her, she had always liked, singing. On holidays, when they had guests, she sang cheerily and enthusiastically, but, on weekdays, as she went about the chores, her singing was muted and a little sad. She, even talked in a singsong manner. Now, too, there was something unusual in her voice –, perhaps she was excited because it was her first visit to the Moon! As he listened to her, familiar voice that was so dear to him, he wondered why it had this ringing sound., , Please send your Materials & Question Papers to

While you and the family sang carols before the fire there, in London, I did the same with enemy soldiers here on the battle fields of France! As I, wrote before, there has been little serious fighting of late. The first battles of the war left, so many dead that both sides have held back until replacements could come from home., So, we have mostly stayed in our trenches and waited.

See what the, Germans are doing!” I grabbed my rifle, stumbled out into the trench, and stuck my head, cautiously above the sandbags. I never hope to see a stranger and more lovely sight., Clusters of tiny lights were shining all along the German line, left and right as far as the eye, could see. “What is it?” I asked in bewilderment, and John answered, “Christmas trees!”, And so it was. The Germans had placed Christmas trees in front of their trenches, lit by, candle or lantern, like beacons of goodwill. And then we heard them singing. Stille nacht,, heilige nacht… This carol may not yet be familiar to us in Britain, but John knew it and, translated: “Silent Night, Holy Night.” I’ve never heard one lovelier – or more meaningful,, in that quiet, clear night, its darkness softened by a first – quarter moon. When the song, finished, the men in our trenches applauded. Yes, British soldiers applauded Germans!, Then one of our own men started singing, and we all joined in.

The making, and selling of drugs has a long history and is closely linked, like medical practice itself, with, belief in magic. Only during the last hundred years or so has the development of scientific, techniques made diagnosis possible. The doctor is now able to follow up the correct diagnosis, of many illnesses-with specific treatments of their cause. In many other illnesses of which the, causes remain unknown, he is still limited, like the unqualified prescriber, to the treatment of, symptoms. The doctor is trained to decide when to treat symptoms only and when to attack the, cause. This is the essential difference between medical prescribing and self-medication. The, advance of technology has brought about much progress in some fields of medicine,including, the development of scientific drug therapy. In many countries, public health organization is, improving and peoples’ nutritional standards have risen. Parallel with such beneficial trends, is two which have an adverse effect. One is the use of high-pressure advertising by the, pharmaceutical industry which has tended to influence both patients and doctors and has led, to the overuse of drugs generally. The other is the emergence of sedentary society with its, faulty ways of living: lack of exercise, overeating, unsuitable eating, insufficient sleep, excessive, smoking, and drinking. People with disorders arising from faulty habits such as these, as well, as from unhappy human relationships, often resort to self-medication.

It should, first of all be distinctive as each person is distinctive. A home should have unity not only within, each room but also throughout the house. Room, to some degree, should harmonise with, each other. The colour and styling of each room, particularly fit into the colour and styling of, the rooms which run out of it. Attractive home furnishings set the stage for pleasant living. If, they are the expression of yourself you will have a feeling of satisfaction every time you enter, your home and friends will enjoy your enjoyment. However, furnishings and surroundings, expressive of just the right note of restfulness or elegant simplicity are not assembled by, accident. Even enthusiasm alone is not enough. A successful house and successful rooms, depend upon proper relationship of each element in to others and to the whole., , NON TEXTUAL, , .Kk, a, Alv, , Passage 2:, A good business letter is one that gets results. The best way to get results is to, develop a letter that in its appearance, style and content conveys information efficiently. To, perform this function a business letter should be concise, clear and courteous. Little introduction, or preliminary chat is necessary. Get to the point, make the point and leave it. It is safe to, assume that your letter is being read by a busy person with all kinds of papers to deal with., Re-read and revise your message until the words and sentences you have used are precise., This takes time but it is a necessary part of a good business letter. A short business letter that, makes its point quickly has much more impact on a good reader than a long-winder, rambling, exercise in creative writing. This does not mean that there is no place for style and even, on, occasion humour in the business letter. While it conveys a message in its content, the letter, also provides the leader with an impression of you., , , , tt, , Passage 5:, One of Napoleon’s favourite maxims was: “The truest wisdom is a resolute, determination.” His life vividly showed what a powerful and unscrupulous will could accomplish., He threw his whole force of body and mind direct upon his work. He was told that Alps stood, in the way of his armies. There should be no Alps, he said, and the road across the Simplon, was constructed through a district formerly almost inaccessible. ‘Impossible’, said he, ‘is a, word only to be found in the dictionary of fools.’ He toiled terrible; sometimes employing, and exhausting four secretaries at a time. He spared no one, not even himself. His influence, inspired other men, and put a new life into them., , , , Passage 4:, A man may usually be known by the books reads, as well as by the company he, keeps for there is a companionship of books as well as of men. One should always live in, the best company whether it be of books or of men. A good book may be among the best, of friends. It is the same today that it always was, and it will never change. It is the most, patient and cheerful of companions. It does not turn its back upon us in times of adversity or, distress. It always receives us with the same kindness, amusing and instructing us in youth,, and comforting and consoling us in age., , Please send your Materials & Question Papers to
