COMPREHENSION OF A PASSAGE

SAMPLE ANSWERS - COMPREHENSION OF A PASSAGE

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions at the end.
      Space travel is by far the most expensive type of exploration ever undertaken by man. The vast expenditure of money and human effort now being devoted to projects of putting man into space might well be applied to ends more practically useful and more conducive to human happiness. It is a strange world in which tens of millions of pounds are spent to give one man a ride round the earth at thousands of miles an hour, while beneath him in his orbit live millions for whom life is a daily struggle to win a few coins to buy their bread and butter. The money and effort that go into the development and construction of a single type of space-rocket would more than suffice to rid several countries of such scourge as malaria or typhoid fever, to name only two of diseases that medical science has conquered but which still persist in the world simply because not enough money and effort are devoted to their eradication. Why should the richer countries of the world be pouring their resources into space when poverty and disease on the earth are crying out for relief? One could give a cynical answer to this question and assert that man's expensive adventures into space are merely the by-products of the struggle between great powers for prestige and possible military advantage.
QUESTIONS
(i) Why is it a strange world?
(ii) Why do malaria  and typhoid still exist in the world?
(iii) Why is man pouring his resources into space?
(vi) Make a precis of the passage and give a suitable title to it.
ANSWERS
(i) It is a strange world because it does not do what it should do. It is wasting a lot of money and effort on space exploration while millions of people on the earth are starving due to lack of money and concern.
(ii) Malaria and typhoid still exist in the world because
(a) Scientists put more efforts on space exploration than on these disease.
(b) The money needed to eradicate these diseases is wasted on space exploration.
(iii) Man is pouring his resources into space because
(a) He wants to gain prestige or good reputation in the world.
(b) He hopes to get possible military and strategic advantages against others.
(iv) Precis with Suitable Title


Advantages and Disadvantages of Space Exploration
 
    Space travel is the most expensive type of exploration. It is a strange world. It is wasting a lot of money and effort on space exploration while millions of people on the earth are starving due to lack of money and concern. Poverty and diseases still exist in the world because the efforts and money needed to eradicate them is wasted on space exploration. Except prestige and military advantage, there is no other benefit of space exploration. (words: 77)
Read the passage carefully and answer the questions at the end.
      Very few students have really any clear idea of what science mean. The teaching of science in schools tend to obscure the meaning of science. When pupils at school work for a pass in science subject, they regard it their main business to learn a large number of facts and a smaller number of principles and theories. Now all this is good in its way. A scientist must have a certain number of facts, principles and theories at his finger tips. But science would cease to be science if scientists merely worked from fixed sets of facts and theories. The essence of science is the gathering of new facts and the establishment of new theories. Science has advanced rapidly in recent history because scientists have been greedy for new knowledge, and because they have been so ready to disbelieve in text books of their youth. It is, therefore, most important to give our young students of science an awareness of skepticism and open-mindedness that is part of the very soul of science. Let them not think that any branch of science is a subject that one can sit down and learn. Let them realize that science is essentially a creative activity.
QUESTIONS
(i) When does science cease to be science?
(ii) What are the two causes of the advancement of science?
(iii) What should we teach to our students of science?
(iv) Make a precis of the passage and give a suitable title to it.
ANSWERS
(i) Science ceases to be science when
(a) Pupils work for a pass in a science subject
(b) They learn a large number of facts and smaller number of principles and theories.
(ii) The two major causes of the advancement of science are;
(a) Scientists have been greedy for new knowledge.
(b) They have been so ready to disbelieve in text books of their youth.
(iii) We should teach two major things to our students of science.
(a) Awareness of skepticism
(b) Open-mindedness
(iv) Precis with Suitable Title


Teaching of Science As a Creative Activity

     The essence of science is gathering of new facts and establishment of new theories. Pupils work for a pass in a science subject. They learn a large number of facts and smaller number of principles and theories. The two major causes of the advancement of science are that scientists have been greedy for new knowledge and have been so ready to disbelieve in text books of their youth. We should teach our students an awareness of skepticism and open-mindedness. (Words: 79)

QUESTION NO. 17
(a) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions at the end.
       It is common in our day, as it has been in many other periods of the world's history to suppose that those among us who are wise have seen through all the enthusiasms of earlier times and have become aware that there is nothing left to live for. The men who hold this view are genuinely unhappy but they are proud of their unhappiness which they attribute to the nature of the universe and consider to the only rational attitude for an enlightened man. Their pride on their unhappiness makes people suspicious of its genuineness: they think that man who enjoys being miserable is not miserable. This view is too simple; undoubtedly there is some slight compensation in the feeling of superiority and insight which these sufferers have, but it is not sufficient to make up for the loss of simple pleasure. I do not myself think that there is any superiority rationality in being unhappy. The wise man will be as happy as circumstances permit and if he finds the contemplation of the universe painful beyond a point, he will contemplate something instead. I am persuaded that those who quite sincerely attribute their sorrows to their views about the universe are putting the cart before the horse: the truth is that they are unhappy for some reasons of which they are not aware.
QUESTIONS
(i) What is common with the wise today to suppose?
(ii) What is the result of pride on unhappiness?
(iii) How can a wise man be happy?
(iv) Make a precis of the passage and give a suitable title to it.
(b) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions at the end.
     Advertising is essentially the art of communication. As such, its origin can be traced right back to the origin of the species. "Advertising colouration" is a familiar biological phrase denoting the colours developed by certain animals to make them stand out against their natural background. It is the direct opposite of camouflage. There is always a message in these colours, such as; "keep away, "mind your step", "darling won't you care for a dance?" While camouflage is tricky and timed, "advertising" is honest, confidant, and forthright, as far as the world of nature goes. In human life, advertising through the mouth must have begun with the beginning of commerce. The tradition is still kept alive by hawkers and street vendors in our towns and villages. As regards advertising through the written word there is archaeological evidence that it was being practiced at least 3,000 years ago. An advertisement offering a gold coin as a reward to anyone tracing out a runaway slave was unearthed in the ruins of Thebes and is computed to be as old as the third millennium B.C. It was the prototype of our "lost and found" classified ad that was painted on a wall.
QUESTIONS
(i) What does the phrase "advertising colouration" mean?
(ii) What is the difference between camouflage and advertising?
(iii) When did verbal and written advertising begin in human life?
(iv) Make a precis of the passage and give a suitable title to it.
QUESTION NO. 18
(a) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions at the end.
     Moral self-control, and external prohibition of harmful acts, are not adequate methods of dealing with our anarchic instincts. The reason they are inadequate is that these instincts are capable of many disguises as the Devil in medieval legend, and some of these disguises deceive even the elect. The only adequate method is to discover what are the needs of our instinctive nature, and then to search for the least harmful way of satisfying them. Since spontaneity is what is most thwarted by machine, the only thing that can be provided is opportunity, the use made of opportunity must be left to the initiative of the individual. No doubt, considerable expense would be involved but it would not be comparable to the expense of war. Understanding of human nature must be the basis of any real improvement in human life. Science has done wonders in mastering the laws of the physical world, but our own nature is much less understood, as yet than the nature of stars and electrons. When science learns to understand human nature, it will be able to bring happiness into our lives which machines and the physical science have failed to create.
QUESTIONS
(i) What is the adequate method of anarchic instincts?
(ii) What should be the basis of any real improvement in human life?
(iii) How can science help humanity to achieve happiness?
(iv) Make a precis of the passage and give a suitable title to it.
(b) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions at the end.
      The use of atomic energy has promised vast possibilities for the mankind. In the beginning of this century Einstein advanced the theory that matter is energy and energy is matter and each may be converted into each other. He said that the atom contained vast stores of energy that may be used in a thousand way.
     Today's reactors which obtain energy from the atom are not very efficient machines. They harness only one percent of the total energy available in the atom. Even this energy which is actually obtained from the atom is enormous. It is estimated that energy in one pound uranium is equivalent to that of three million pounds of coal.
     The research in the mysteries of the atom is going on in many countries of the world. It is hoped that before long better and more efficient reactors will be built. These will be able to obtain atomic energy at an economical cost. Atoms provide compact form of fuel which provides a vast amount of energy and it also lasts longer.
     Atomic energy can be used in many ways and for many purposes. It can be used to bring peace and prosperity to the whole of this earth. It can also be used to destroy the world and its inhabitants. It can perform miracles if we have the power and wisdom to use it for peaceful purposes. If we do not possess that wisdom, man has not many years to live on this earth.
QUESTIONS
(i) What theory did Einstein present? 
(ii) What sort of reactors are required to obtain a vast amount of energy? 
(iii) What are the uses of atomic energy?
(iv) Make a precis of the passage and suggest a suitable title to it.
QUESTION NO. 19

Travelling is the best means of acquiring sound knowledge. Knowledge thus gained is the result of first hand experience. A person who travels to various cities and towns from one end of Pakistan to the other and stays at different places for sometime gets a first rate knowledge of the country, places and its people. He comes to know the geography, the fauna and flora of the various regions, the people and their ways of life and their customs and manners. He enjoys the beauties of the countryside, the variety of scenes of the vast plains, the open valleys and the snow capped peaks of the mountains. One great advantage of the knowledge so gained is that it has the warmth of the personal experience and pulsates with life as opposed to the second hand knowledge gained from books. 
QUESTIONS
(i) What does the author mean by first hand knowledge?
(ii) What is one great advantage of travelling?
(iii) What things hold attraction for the traveller?
(iv) Make a precis of the passage and give a suitable title to it.
(b) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions at the end.
 Once we have found the habit of looking within, listening to ourselves and responding to our own impulses and feelings, we shall not let ourselves be so easily the victims of uncontrollable emotions and effects; the inner life, instead of being either a gaping void or a ghoulish nightmare, will be open to cultivation and in both personal conduct and in art will bring us into more fruitful and loving relations which other men, whose hidden depths will flow through the symbols of arts into our own. At this point we can nourish life again more intensely from the outside too, opening our minds to every touch and sight and sound, instead of anesthetizing ourselves continually to much that goes on around us, because it has become so meaningless, so unrelated to our inner needs. With such self-discipline, we shall in time, control the tempo and rhythm of our day; control the quantity of stimuli that impinge on us; control our attention so that the things we do shall reflect our purposes and values, as human beings  not the extraneous purposes and values of the machine.
QUESTIONS
(i) How can we control our emotions? 
(ii) How can we cultivate loving relations with other men?
(iii) What is meant by the phrase "the extraneous purposes and values of the machine"?
(iv) Make a precis of the passage and suggest a suitable title to it.
QUESTION NO. 20
(a) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions at the end.
     A person who is aware of his duties and rights in his society is a good citizen. He knows that he is a member of a group with which he is associated by a thousand and one ties. He realizes that he should live in harmony with others in society. He cannot live alone. He must live with his fellow human beings. But living in a society means co-operation with others. When you live in a society, you have to live as others live. You have to accept conditions and traditions that a society prescribes for its members. These conditions and standards of behaviour are for the common good and welfare of the society and individuals. Society gives some rights and some duties. A good citizen does his best to do his duty to the society. He always keeps in view the interests of his society and state. He lives a clean and honest life. He keeps away form such activities that may harm the interest of his fellow citizens. A good citizen is aware of the fact that he is indebted to his society in many ways. He knows that the labour and work of countless persons have enriched his life. His life, to a very great extent, depends on others. He has received much in material and spiritual benefits from others. It is only just and right that he should pay his debts. 
QUESTIONS
(i) Who is a good citizen?
(ii) What are the duties of a good citizen?
(iii) Why is society formed?
(iv) Make a precis of the passage and give it a suitable title.
(b) Read the passage carefully and answer the questions at the end.
    In its wider sense composition means the expression of our writing, so composition is necessarily of two kinds, oral and written. Both these forms of composition are equally important and very closely connected. We have to be careful in the choice and use of our words in speaking and in writing. If we learn to speak clearly and exactly, we shall be able to write exactly and clearly. But writing requires of greater clearness and exactness than speaking does. In speaking what we have to say can be made effective by the tone of our voice, the expression on our face and by the movement of our hands, but in writing we have to depend entirely on the sense conveyed by the words we use. Sir Francis Bacon has rightly said that writing makes an exact man. Writing tends to make a man exact because he cannot write well about a subject unless he knows the subject well. To write well you have to be clear in your own mind as to what you are going to say. 
QUESTIONS
(i) Why should we be careful in the choice and use of words?
(ii) What did Bacon mean when he said that writing makes an exact man?
(iii) How can we make our power of writing good? 
(iv) Suggest a suitable title and make a precis of the passage given above.

     The use of atomic energy has promised vast possibilities for the mankind. In the beginning of this century Einstein advanced the theory that matter is energy and energy is matter and each may be converted into each other. He said that the atom contained vast stores of energy that may be used in a thousand way.
     Today's reactors which obtain energy from the atom are not very efficient machines. They harness only one percent of the total energy available in the atom. Even this energy which is actually obtained from the atom is enormous. It is estimated that energy in one pound uranium is equivalent to that of three million pounds of coal.
     The research in the mysteries of the atom is going on in many countries of the world. It is hoped that before long better and more efficient reactors will be built. These will be able to obtain atomic energy at an economical cost. Atoms provide compact form of fuel which provides a vast amount of energy and it also lasts longer.
     Atomic energy can be used in many ways and for many purposes. It can be used to bring peace and prosperity to the whole of this earth. It can also be used to destroy the world and its inhabitants. It can perform miracles if we have the power and wisdom to use it for peaceful purposes. If we do not possess that wisdom, man has not many years to live on this earth.
Questions:
(i) What theory did Einstein present? (2)
(ii) What sort of reactors are required to obtain a vast amount of energy? (2)
(iii) What are the uses of atomic energy? (2)

     For a real success, mere faith in one's self in not enough. No doubt it is the most essential principle to be followed if one wishes to achieve success in life. One also must have a firm determination to act on what one thinks and decides to do. Faith in oneself must be supplemented by action. Faith and dreams do not bring anything for us. All successful and great men had faith as well as other qualities of action and making right decisions. The quality of action in itself depends upon many other qualities. Physical fitness is the most important quality needed for action. Moreover a healthy mind needs a healthy body. A sick man cannot maintain his confidence in himself. He loses interest in every good thing of life. Similarly taking wrong decisions brings so many problems for us. If we have decided to take up a wrong profession, which is not suitable for us, then no amount of faith in oneself and hard work can bring success in our life. Youth is the best time to realize the importance of above rules.

(i) What is the first important principle for achieving success in life? (2)

     The use of chemical toxins, however, has taken less widespread. Their large-scale use was first made during the world war I, but in modern history the Iraqi Army has earned notoriety in using piousness gases against the Kurd guerrillas and Iranian Army. The Russians have also used toxic agents against Afghan Mujaheddin and Chechen freedom fighters. But the limited tactical usages remove them from the domain of environmental warfare to the area of chemical and biochemical warfare. On the other hand, the use of toxins in Indo-China by U.S.A. is textbook example of environmental warfare. The Americans used herbicides to defoliate large areas of enemy controlled forests and vegetation the effects of which are present till today.

(i) Give at least two examples of war tactics. (2)
(ii) Why are these war tactics not a useful weapon? (2)

     Travelling is the best means of acquiring sound knowledge. Knowledge thus gained is the result of first hand experience. A person who travels to various cities and towns from one end of Pakistan to the other and stays at different places for sometime gets a first rate knowledge of the country, places and its people. He comes to know the geography, the fauna and flora of the various regions, the people and their ways of life and their customs and manners. He enjoys the beauties of the countryside, the variety of scenes of the vast plains, the open valleys and the snow capped peaks of the mountains. One great advantage of the knowledge so gained is that it has the warmth of the personal experience and pulsates with life as opposed to the second hand knowledge gained from books.

(i) What does the author mean by first hand knowledge? (2)

     Once we have found the habit of looking within, listening to ourselves and responding to our own impulses and feelings, we shall not let ourselves be so easily the victims of uncontrollable emotions and effects; the inner life, instead of being either a gaping void or a ghoulish nightmare, will be open to cultivation and in both personal conduct and in art will bring us into more fruitful and loving relations which other men, whose hidden depths will flow through the symbols of arts into our own. At this point we can nourish life again more intensely from the outside too, opening our minds to every touch and sight and sound, instead of anesthetizing ourselves continually to much that goes on around us, because it has become so meaningless, so unrelated to our inner needs. With such self-discipline, we shall in time, control the tempo and rhythm of our day; control the quantity of stimuli that impinge on us; control our attention so that the things we do shall reflect our purposes and values, as human beings  not the extraneous purposes and values of the machine.
Questions:
(i) How can we control our emotions? (2)
(ii) How can we cultivate loving relations with other men? (2)

     The tyrannical regimes of several dictators like Stalin, Mussolini and Hitler form a very important part of our world history. Why don't we learn from this? Why don't we stop the continuing debate between the supremacy of despotism over democracy or vice versa? Democracy has attracted support since the time of ancient Greece because it represents an ideal of justice as well as a form of government. The ideal and the practice of democracy are inseparably linked because rulers subjected to voter approval are more likely to treat the voters justly. Many of us may say that the ideal of justice and equality is easier said than done. I admit that our own country reflects this but we still have the right to choose in election. All we need is the ability to face up to our rights and demand our rights fearlessly. In my opinion we lack this fearlessness. In short, we lack true patriotism. 
     Our Holy Prophet (PBUH) also encouraged the concept of democracy and all of the four Caliphs following him based system of their government and administration on this form of government. But what about a country in which ruling party is a despot? What if it turns out to be a fascist then what choices are the citizens of the country left with? If the natural rights of life, liberty and property are not guaranteed, the people have the right to overthrow the government. 
Questions: 
(i) What was the Greek ideal of democracy? (2) 
(ii) Why do we have ineffective democracy in Pakistan? (2) 
(iii) What was the practice of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) and the four Caliphs in this connection? (2)

Teaching, more even than most other professions, has been transformed during the last hundred years from a small, highly skilled profession concerned with a minority of the population, to a large and important branch of the public service. The profession has a great and honourable tradition, extending from the dawn of history until recent times, but any teacher in the modern world who allows himself to be inspired by the ideals of his predecessors is likely to be made sharply aware that it is not his function to teach what he thinks, but to instill such beliefs and prejudices as are thought useful by his employers. In former days a teacher was expected to be a man of exceptional knowledge or wisdom, to whose words men would do well attend. In antiquity teachers were not an organized profession and no control was exercised over what they taught. It is true that they were often punished afterwards for their subversive doctrines. Socrates was put to death and Plato is said to have been thrown into prison but such incidents did not interfere with the spread of the doctrines. 
Questions:
(i) What change has occurred in the profession of teaching during the last hundred years? (2)

      A person who is aware of his duties and rights in his society is a good citizen. He knows that he is a member of a group with which he is associated by a thousand and one ties. He realizes that he should live in harmony with others in society. He cannot live alone. He must live with his fellow human beings. But living in a society means co-operation with others. When you live in a society, you have to live as others live. You have to accept conditions and traditions that a society prescribes for its members. These conditions and standards of behaviour are for the common good and welfare of the society and individuals. Society gives some rights and some duties. A good citizen does his best to do his duty to the society. He always keeps in view the interests of his society and state. He lives a clean and honest life. He keeps away form such activities that may harm the interest of his fellow citizens. A good citizen is aware of the fact that he is indebted to his society in many ways. He knows that the labour and work of countless persons have enriched his life. His life, to a very great extent, depends on others. He has received much in material and spiritual benefits from others. It is only just and right that he should pay his debts.

     To rock the cradle is symbolic of bringing up the child. All great rulers - all persons, who have moulded the destiny of nations, have been children once in their lives, having been brought up at that stage by their mothers. And the training, they received at the formative period of life, must have exercised a far-reaching influence on their character. Thus, it is true that the mother makes the future ruler. 
     A close study of the lives of great rulers, conquerors and statesmen goes to show that many of them owe a great deal of their powers and resources to the tender care of their mothers. The lives of all great men were largely shaped by their mothers. Countless examples can be given in this respect. 
     On the contrary, whenever a career is spoiled, the cause invariably is the want of a good mother. The reason why many of our boys and girls do not grow into perfect human beings is that they miss the ministering influence of a noble-minded mother at the period when they need it. In fact, mothers are truly the makers of nations. In this context, it is justly said. "The hand that rocks the cradle rules over the world." 
Questions
(i) Is it true that it is the mother who makes the future of rulers? Explain. (2)
(ii) What does a close study of the biographies of great rulers, conquerors and statesmen bring to light? (2)
(iii) Explain the reason why many of our boys and girls do not grow into perfect human beings. (2)

   Science offers the possibility of far greater well-being for the human race than has ever been known before. It offers this on certain conditions: abolition of war, even distribution of ultimate power, and limitation of the growth of population. All these are much nearer to being possible than they ever were before. In Western industrial countries as they become modernized, unless dictators and missionaries interfere. The even distribution of ultimate power, economic, as well as political, has been nearly achieved in Britain, and other democratic countries are rapidly moving towards it. The prevention of war? It may seem a paradox that to say that we are nearer to achieving this than ever before, but I am persuaded that it true. 
Questions: 
(i) On what conditions can science be used for the better well-being of human beings? (2)
(ii) What does the writer say about population growth in the Western industrial countries and its application to other countries? (2)

     In its wider sense composition means the expression of our writing, so composition is necessarily of two kinds, oral and written. Both these forms of composition are equally important and very closely connected. We have to be careful in the choice and use of our words in speaking and in writing. If we learn to speak clearly and exactly, we shall be able to write exactly and clearly. But writing requires of greater clearness and exactness than speaking does. In speaking what we have to say can be made effective by the tone of our voice, the expression on our face and by the movement of our hands, but in writing we have to depend entirely on the sense conveyed by the words we use. Sir Francis Bacon has rightly said that writing makes an exact man. Writing tends to make a man exact because he cannot write well about a subject unless he knows the subject well. To write well you have to be clear in your own mind as to what you are going to say. 
Questions:
(i) Why should we be careful in the choice and use of words? (2) 
(ii) What did Bacon mean when he said that writing makes an exact man? (2) 
(iii) How can we make our power of writing good? (2)
