1. Read the following poem and answer the questions that follow. (10)
The Chimney Sweeper
When my mother died I was very young,
And my father sold me while yet my tongue
Could scarcely cry ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep! ‘weep!
So your chimneys I sweep and in soot I sleep.

There’s little Tom Dacre, who cried when his head,


That curled like a lamb’s back, was shaved: so I said,
“Hush, Tom! never mind it, for when your head’s bare,
You know that the soot cannot spoil your white hair.”

And so he was quiet, and that very night,


As Tom was a-sleeping he had such a sight!
That thousands of sweepers, Dick, Joe, Ned, and Jack,
Were all of them locked up in coffins of black;

And by came an angel who had a bright key,


And he opened the coffins and set them all free;
Then down a green plain, leaping, laughing they run,
And wash in a river and shine in the sun.

Then naked and white, all their bags left behind,


They rise upon clouds, and sport in the wind.
And the angel told Tom, if he’d be a good boy,
He’d have God for his father and never want joy.

And so Tom awoke; and we rose in the dark


And got with our bags and our brushes to work.
Though the morning was cold, Tom was happy and warm;
So if all do their duty, they need not fear harm.
William Blake

2. Read the passage carefully and do the activities given below. (10)
If you were to analyse the lives of lucky and unlucky individuals being
commented on, you’d find that the successful person is doing something right in
each transaction, and the failure is repeating the same mistake time and again.
Practice does not make perfect - only perfect practice makes perfect. Practice
makes permanent whatever you do repeatedly. Some people keep practising
their mistakes and they become perfect in them. Their mistakes become perfect
and automatic.
Cultivating a habit is like plowing a field. It takes time. Habits generate other
habits. Inspiration is what gets us started, motivation is what keeps us on track,
and habit is what makes it automatic.
The ability to show courage in the face of adversity; show self-restraint in the
face of temptation, choose happiness in the face of hurt, show character in the
face of despair, and see opportunity in the face of obstacles are all valuable
traits to possess. But these traits do not just appear; they are the result of
constant and consistent training, both mental and physical. In the face of
adversity, our behavior, whether positive or negative can only be what we have
practised. When we practise negative traits such as cowardice or dishonesty in
small events, and hope to handle the major events in a positive way, it won’t
happen because that’s not what we have practised.
If we permit ourselves to tell a lie once, it is a lot easier to do it a second and a
third time until it becomes a habit. Success lies in the philosophy of “sustain and
abstain.” Sustain what needs to be done and abstain from what is detrimental
until this becomes habitual. Human beings are more emotional than rational.
Honesty and integrity are the result of both our belief system and practice.
Anything we practise long enough becomes ingrained into our system and
becomes a habit. A person who is honest most of the time gets caught the first
time he tells a lie, whereas a person who is dishonest most of the time gets
caught the first time he tells the truth
A. Find similar words to the following. (2)
a. Compatible b. virtue
B. Decide whether the following statements are true or false. (4)
a. Only practice makes a person perfect.
b. We can cultivate habits in no time.
c. We can acquire all valuable traits by constant and consistent
training, both mental and physical.
d. If we permit ourselves to tell a lie once, it is a lot easier to do it a
second and a third time
C. Answer the questions (4)
a. What comment do we often hear?
b. How do some people become perfect in making mistakes?
c. What are the valuable traits that human beings have to possess?
d. How can you form a habit?
3. Read the passage carefully and do the activities given below: (10)
The earth is nearest to the sun on about the second of third day in January. The
distance varies because the earth spins round the sun in the elliptical orbit or
path. The time when the earth is closest to the sun is called the perihelion. The
time is farthest away-the aphelion-comes six months later on the first or second
day in July. During the perihelion the earth is 147 million kilometers from the
sun (about) 91.5 million miles), but during the aphelion it is 152 million
kilometers away (94.5 million miles). When planetary distance in the solar
system is compared, the average distance between these two axes is used. This
is called astronomical unit and in the case of the earth and sun, measures 149
millions kilometers (about 93 millions miles). If it were possible for an aircraft to
fly from the earth to the sun at a constant speed of 1000 miles per hour it would
have to travel non-stop for 10 years to reach its destination.
The earth takes 365.25 days to travel round the sun and moves at a speed of
nearly 19 miles a second. As can be seen from the date of the perihelion and
aphelion, the nearness of the sun does not determine the seasons. Our seasons
are decided by the amount of daylight, and directness of the sun's rays on the
earth's surface. This condition very as the axis on which the earth spins is titled.
A. Tick the best answer. (3)
i. The earth is nearest to the sun on … …
a) first days of January. B) second days of January.
c) second or third of January.
ii. The time when the earth is farthest away from the sun called … …

iii. The earth takes … … days to travel round the sun.
a) 365 days b) 365.25 day. C) 365.5 days

B. Find the words from the passage to the following. (3)


a) Closest b) nearly c) differs
C. Answer the following questions. (4)
a. When is the earth nearest to and farthest away from the sun?
b. What is astronomical unit?
c. How long would it take for an aircraft to reach the sun?
