SECTION-A (READING)
1. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below: (5)

Do children really need such long summer breaks, was a question posed by some
experts recently. Apparently, such a long break disrupts their development and comes
in the way of their learning process. Lets get them back to their books, is perhaps the
expert view, if not in so many words.one would have thought the children are doing too
much during their vacations and not too little given the plethora of classes, camps and
workshops involving swimming, art, personality development, music, computers. Even
the trips taken in the name of holidays seem laden with exotic destinations and
customized experience packed into a short period of time. We can do Europe in ten
days and Australia in a week and come home armed with digital memories and
overflowing suitcases. Holidays are in some way no longer a break but an intensified
search for an experience other than normal life.
