SECTION: A (READING SECTION)

I. Read the given passage carefully and answer the following (6)
1. As religious people believing in God, we are all aware of the influence of prayer in our individual lives. It
is true our temples, gurudwaras, churches and mosques reverberate with the prayers of the devout on festive
occasions and even in the course of daily life. When individuals face dire situations, often they are led into
prayer; their faith thus opens for them a source of comfort and encouragement in their hour of need.
2. But how does India as collective entity, exercise its faith in prayer? It may be recalled that during the
freedom struggle and subsequently after Independence, the Father of the Nation used to lead the people in
prayer on matters affecting its destiny. The men of different faiths used to take part in such meetings, which
gave them a sense of purpose and also a sense of solidarity as people sharing one destiny.
3. Since the Mahatma fell to the bullets of an assassin, no one else probably came forward to provide
leadership to an exercise of prayer at the national level. No doubt, people of all faiths had organized prayers
at their places of worship in the aftermath of national tragedies like the Gujarat Earthquake of the Orissa
cyclone. The hijacking of an Indian plane with its passengers of Kandahar in the recent past had moved this
nation to pray.
The whole nation again had taken to prayers in mass on two other occasions when Amitabh Bachchan fell
seriously on the sick bed.
4. Man's need for prayer is as great as his need for bread. As food is necessary for the body, prayer is
necessary for the soul. I have not a shadow of doubt that the strife and quarrels with which our atmosphere is
so full today are due to the absence of the spirit of true prayer. True prayer never goes unanswered,'' wrote
Gandhiji. According to Vasudevan, Secretary of the Rajghat Samadhi Samiti, all-religion prayer meetings are
held every Friday at Rajghat from 4 p.m. to 5.15 p.m.
5. It is said that the act of prayer changes people and situations. There is a general impression that prayer is
an act of seeking favours from God for selfish ends. It is as if all praying people are only interested in taking
their shopping lists to their Maker!
For from it, the very act of praying teaches one to sympathize with those who suffer. It broadens one's vision
and outlook. It builds up one's character by imparting a sense of responsibility towards other people and
situations.
6. The latest example of a praying nation comes from the United States which is often labelled as too
materialistic. Speaking at the national Prayer Breakfast at Washington in the second week of February,
President George Bush praised Americans of all faiths for turning to prayer in the wake of the September 11
terrorist attacks. He said he had spent much time 'one bended knee' since terrorists attacked the World Trade
Centre and the Pentagon, killing more than 3000 people.
7. Regardless of the religious affiliations, people in the affected areas showed an exemplary sense of
togetherness in the hour of tragedy. All differences of religion, ethnicity, race and language were forgotten as
volunteers got busy assuaging the pain and sorrow felt by the victims. The American example has several
lessons for India which is also a pluralistic society. It has demonstrated that differences of religion and
ethnicity need not stand in the way of the nation untidily facing all its challenges. If it is true that all religious
faiths teach tolerance, humility and the value of helping neighbours, then the religious leaders of this nation
could also engender unity and oneness of purpose by coming together periodically to pray for the nation. And
when they focus on the fact that all people, regardless of their differences share one common destiny, there
could be greater communal harmony. Such a consciousness ought to pave the way for peace in society.
1.On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer the following questions by choosing the most
appropriate option
a. People often pray when they _________
(I) Are sick (ii) Face dreadful situations (iii)Want their desires to be fulfilled (iv)Are depressed
b. What is the general impression about the prayer------------
(i) It provides food to the soul. (ii) It is an act of seeking favour from God. (iii) It teaches us to sympathies

c. All-religion prayer meetings are held at Rajghat. -------------
(i) Biweekly (ii) Weekly (iii) Monthly (iv) Annually
d. Does the writer support the view that ‘all praying people are only interested in taking their shopping lists
to their Maker!’
(i) Yes (ii) No (iii) Not sure (iv) Partially Correct
e. What should the religious leaders do?
(i) Coming together to pray for the nation (ii) Demonstrate the differences of religion (iii) Only teach
tolerance, humility and the value of helping neighbour (iv) They have no duty to the nation

I. Read the unseen poem and answer the following questions. (1x6=6)

ALL THE WORLD’S A STAGE

William Shakespeare

All the world’s a stage,

And all the men and women merely players
They have their exits and their entrances,
And one man in his time plays many parts,
His acts being seven ages.
At first, the infant,
Mewling and puking in the nurse’s arms.
Then the whining schoolboy, with his satchel
And shining morning face, creeping like snail
Unwillingly to school.
And then the lover,
Sighing like furnace, with a woeful ballad
Made to his mistress’ eyebrow.
Then a soldier,
Full of strange oaths and bearded like the pard,
Jealous in honor, sudden and quick in quarrel,
Seeking the bubble reputation
Even in the cannon’s mouth.
And then the justice, ‘
In fair round belly with good capon lined,
With eyes severe and beard of formal cut,
Full of wise saws and modem instances;
And so he plays his part.
The sixth age shifts
Into the lean and slippered pantaloon,
With spectacles on nose and pouch on side;
His youthful hose, well saved, a world too wide
For his shrunk shank, and his big manly voice,
Turning again toward childish treble, pipes
And whistles in his sound.
Last scene of all,
That ends this strange eventful history,
Is second childishness and mere oblivion,
Sans teeth, sans eyes, sans taste, sans everything.
