Section 'A' Reading

1. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow. (10 Marks)
Once a famous tennis player was scheduled to play in a championship game with her most formidable
rival. At the last minute, she gave the excuse of not feeling well and refused to play. Her reputation was
ruined. Until the day of her death, she was regarded as a 'poor sport' afraid of defeat. Why is such a high
value put on good sportsmanship in the field of sports ? The games themselves are not so important. No,
but the traits a person shows in playing a game, reveals a person's character and breeding. The qualities
needed in games are the same needed for decent living, fairness, honour, self control, willingness to
abide by the rules, just tempered by restraint and ability to win or lose with good spirit.
If you cannot muster up any interest in a game, you had better stay out of it. A half-hearted player who
does not keep his mind on the game, is for ever asking, "Oh, is it my turn?" and plainly does not care how
things turn out and is an annoyance. The ideal player plays for the fun of playing. He tries to win; yet he
is not so eager that he jumps in ahead of his turn or claims victory before the game is over .

(A) On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer the questions briefly.
(i) How was the reputation of the famous tennis player ruined ? (01 Mark)
(ii) How do games reveal a person's character ? (01 Mark)
(iii) What is on the mind of the ideal player ? (01 Mark)
(iv) Why should a disinterested player stay out of the game ? (01 Mark)
(v) Which qualities of decent leaving are also needed in games ? (01 Mark)
(B) Give the meanings of the words below. One word answer or short phrases will be accepted.

Each one, Teach one,

Let this be our slogan
Let us spread the light
The gift of knowledge, they say
It is loevliest gift of all
Let us offer this gift.
To those whose needs are small.
To those who never learnt
How to write or read
Instead of making noises
Let’s get on with the dead.
Let out country awaken
Form the slumber of centuries
Let us make a pledge
To vanish illiteracy.
