KENDRIYA VIDYALAYA SANGATHAN, CHENNAI REGION CLASS XII PRE-BOARD EXAMINATION-2014-15 Subject : English (Core) Time Allotted : 3 Hours Max Marks : 100 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: 1. This paper is divided into three Sections: A, B and C. All the sections are compulsory. 2. Separate instructions are given with each section and questions, wherever necessary. Read these instructions very carefully and follow them faithfully. 3. Do not exceed the prescribed word limit while answering the questions. SECTION A: READING 30 MARKS 1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow: 12 marks 1. Why should I meet young students in particular? Seeking the answer I wentback to my student days. From the island of Rameswaram, what a greatjourney it s been! Looking back it all seems quite incredible. 2. What was it that made it possible? Hard work? Ambition? Many things cometo my mind. I feel the most important thing was that I always assessed myworth by the value of my contribution. The fundamental thing is that you mustknow that you deserve the good things of life, the benefits that God bestows.Unless our students and young believe that they are worthy of being citizensof a developed India, how will they ever be responsible and enlightenedcitizens? 3. There is nothing mysterious about the abundance in developed nations. Thehistoric fact is that the people of these nations - the G8 as they are called -believed over many generations that they must live a good life in a strong andprosperous nation. The reality became aligned with their aspirations. 4. I do not think that abundance and spirituality are mutually exclusive or that itis wrong to desire material things. For instance, while I personally cherish a life with minimum of possessions, I admire abundance, for it brings along withit security and confidence, and these eventually help preserve our freedom.Nature too does not do anything by half measures, as you will see if you lookaround you. Go to a garden. In season, there is a profusion of flowers. Orlook up. The universe stretches into infinitude, vast beyond belief. 5. All that we see in the world is an embodiment of energy. We are a part of thecosmic energy too, as Sri Aurobindo says. Therefore when we begin toappreciate that spirit and matter are both part of existence, are in harmonywith each other, we shall realize that it is wrong to feel that it is somehowshameful or non-spiritual to desire material things. 6. Yet, this is what we are often led to believe. Certainly there is nothing wrongwith an attitude of making do with the minimum, in leading a life of asceticism.It has to be a matter of choice. You follow such a lifestyle because it answersa need that arises from deep within you. However, making a virtue of sacrificeand what is forced upon you to celebrate suffering - is a different thingaltogether. 1
