Section A - Reading
1 Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow:
Imagine a travel scene a decade ago, with family members or friends and lots of
luggage. Every such journey undertaken in those days was made arduous with the
nagging thought of one particular aspect: managing and keeping the cash stashed away
safely during the course of the travel to fulfil various needs. How to carry so much
money at a time, to unfamiliar places? How much to carry? How safe is it to carry?
Will it be sufficient; if not, what to do? All such thoughts used to jade one‘s mind
before and during the trip.
But today the entire perspective has changed. We live in a world full of cards of
different kinds and multifarious uses. Right from the hotel bill to train or airline ticket
charges and from taxi bills to a bagful of shopping can be cleared with the help of
cards, making travel absolutely hazard free. Cards have become part and parcel of our
daily life. The morning begins with the milk booth prepaid card, then the punch card at
the work spot and, during the course of the day, one flashes a number of cards like
credit cards, debit cards, discount cards, privilege cards, etc. Even the driving licences
and registration certificates have taken the shape of cards.
The card culture made its entry into the daily life a decade ago, initially placing itself
gently among the elite as a niche product and then spreading like wild fire to become a
necessity for all and sundry. Cards seem to be replacing much paper work. A credit
card gives one credit for a whole lot of things anywhere under the sun, a debit card
enables one to shop practically with an empty wallet, a discount card helps one to strike
the best bargain, a privilege card makes one an exclusive person, an identity card
distinguishes a person, a voter‘s card turns one into a responsible citizen of the country,
a PAN card certifies one as an assessee. What else would one require to get recognized
and survive?
Page 1 of 35
In spite of its tremendous growth, one thought that keeps bugging people is the security
aspect of the card. With the advent of EDC(electronic data capturing) machines and
smart cards, the security lapses and fraudulent usage of cards have almost been
eliminated, leaving a very slim chance of misuse. The only possible chance of misuse
is when a card is lost and even that can be minimized to nil effect or to a minimum
penalty if the loss is reported within 24 hours.
1.1 What was the greatest worry while undertaking a journey a decade ago? 1
1.2 Do you think cards have become a part and parcel of our daily life. Why? 2
1.3 Name two cards that are used while shopping. 1
1.4 State whether the following statements are true or false: 2
i. Loss of card should be reported within a day.
ii. EDC machines maximize the misuse of cards.
1.5 Find a word in the passage that means same as ‗hard to accomplish‘. 1
1.6 Find the antonym of the word ‗commoners‘ from the given passage. 1
2 Read the poem given below carefully .
Once there were two magnificent towers,
Where lived and worked so many of ours.
It took seven long years to build them straight
They stood near the Empire State.
This event happened on the eleventh of September,
It‘s an occurrence that generations will remember.
Because thousands of people have died,
Not only of the US but the world‘s pride.
Everyone saw with awe and fright,
Twin towers crash in broad daylight.
None quite knows what will happen now,
When ? Where? And how?
May God give wisdom to those,
Who are devils in gentlemen‘s pose?
Now let us all remove hatred and vice,
And let the world be happy and nice.
On the basis of your reading of the above poem, answer the following questions-
2.1 What is the poem about? 1
2.2 Whom does the word ‗them‘ refers to in the third line of the poem? 1
