PRE-BOARD- 1
General Instructions;
1. This paper is divided into two parts. All questions are compulsory.
2. Separate instructions are given with each section and question- wherever necessary.
Read these instructions very carefully and follow them.
3. Do not exceed the prescribed word limit while answering the questions.
1. Work is something we do all through life. More important than the work we do, is our
attitude to it. From the moment we are born, till we die, work is being done all the time, whether
we like it or not, whether we want it or not. Even sitting idle or lying in bed is an activity a work.
Breathing, digesting, sleeping, waking up, blinking, keeping up our muscles tone, the slow process
of formation of new cells and destruction of old ones – all these activities are work that goes on,
with or without our consent. It is only in death that work truly ceases. Many people feel that they
would like to retire at the age of 60 and do nothing. But as long as we are alive it is impossible to
do nothing.
2. Having agreed that work is unavoidable we need to look at how we do the work. Whether
it is a child who is playing, a mother who is feeding her child, a house help who is sweeping the
floor, or a physician who is saving lives – what is important in all these activities is our attitude.
Are you doing your work with a happy, creative, cheerful outlook or are you constantly
complaining and wishing for ‘something ‘ else to do? Because if you are miserable doing the work
allotted to you rest assured that you’ll remain miserable in whatever work you do.
3. Since work and activity is unavoidable why not do it with pleasure with interest, with
involvement, with joy? What is in our hands is how to react to the work that we do. When you are,
standing in the queue to pay your child’s fees or waiting at a government office to renew your
license or passport, you have only two choices; either spend the time relaxing and making friends
with others standing in line or spend the time irritated, angry and frustrated.
4. What is worship? It is offering something to God. Here, we are offering our work to God.
We normally work only for our own benefit, for our own profits. When we are ready to give up
this benefit, this profit and accept anything and everything that comes our way as a blessing from
God, then, our work becomes worship.
On the basis of your understanding of the passage, answer ANY TEN questions from the twelve
that follows. (1x10=10)
ii .The various things happening inside our body which we are not aware of are-
c. both I and ii

a. When we retire.
b. When we die.
c. When we sleep.
a. when we work only for our own benefit, for our own profits.
b. When we work for pleasure and fun.
c. When we work for the benefit and profits of others
xi. Work becomes worship when we worry about its fruits and profits and do it with
xii. Attitude is more important than work because it is our attitude that makes the work
a ……………………………………………….
a. Miserable experience
b. Happy experience
c. Sad experience.
1. A youngster quit Facebook in December after spending over three years on the social networking
site. With that one act he bid a silent adieu to more than 300 contacts that he had added to his account
during the period. Like almost everyone from his ”friend’s circle,” the 20 year old was a regular on the
service; visiting it everyday to post photos and status updates but last week a new feature on Facebook
called Timeline forced him to reconsider the pros and cons of being on the networking site.
2. Everyone has some skeletons in their closet and I am just not comfortable with Facebook digging
up and displaying all the facets of my life on a bulletin board,’ says this youngster who joined the network
in July 2007 while he was in class11.
3. Facebook, you see, had compressed the time he spent on the site and arranged it in chronological
order and while he initially liked the new neatly organized scrapbook like feature he wasn’t happy to
reveal posts from the past those that until recently were hidden under layers and layers of recent updates.
Just clicking on a date on the timeline could transport his friends back in time and enable them to view
every embarrassing comment link or photo he had posted on his profile.
4. “I think it’s a recipe for disaster,” he says. “In 2007, I had some wall posts which seemed
appropriate at the time but now after a lapse of four years, I have moved on and don’t want them to be
openly displayed for all to see.
5. He is not alone. Many users, worried about how Facebook activity could possibly affect their
offline lives, are choosing to commit “Facebook suicide.” While some have privacy concerns others feel
that the site that was meant to bring them closer to their friends actually does the opposite- it reduces their
friendship to something superficial.
6. Poking and liking are not enough to keep a friendship going,’ says a business analyst. Having quit
Facebook three years ago, she prefers meeting her “real” friends face –to- face, instead of reading their
trite posts online.
7. ”On Facebook, people hype everyday issues including what they ate and where they went on a
daily basis,” says this analyst who continues to use Twitter.
8. Similarly an engineering student quit Facebook last December four years after joining it. One fine
day, he exported all the data from his account into a little zip file and hit the delete button.
9. I realized that when it came to my friends who really mattered, I could actually keep in touch with
them over the phone or by meeting them in real life,’ he wrote in his blog.
On the basis of your understanding of the passage, answer ANY TEN questions from the twelve
that follows. (1x10=10)
a. date on the timeline which helps us see our past comments, photos and links.
b. account on the timeline which helps us see our past comments, photos and links.
c. profile on the timeline which helps us see our past comments, photos and links.
a. arguing on Facebook.
v. On the basis of your understanding of the passage identify which line best summarizes the passage-
c. artificial friendship.
a. Liked
b. Hidden
c. Reveal
a. exported
b. delete
c. Quit
ix. Timeline is a new feature on Facebook that forced the youngster to reconsider the advantages and
disadvantages ……..
a. of being at home
x. Many people are getting out of Facebook as they feel that their Facebook activity-
xi. What does the narrator mean by “It reduces their friendship to something superficial”
