 ASSIGNMENT

READING
Q1. Read the passage given below.

The choices we make on a daily basis—wearing a seatbelt, lifting heavy objects

correctly or purposely staying out of any dangerous situation—can either ensure our
safety or bring about potentially harmful circumstances. You and I need to make a
decision that we are going to get our lives in order. Exercising self-control, self-
discipline and establishing boundaries and borders in Our lives are some of the most
important things we can do. A life without discipline is one that’s filled with
carelessness. We can think it’s kind of exciting to live life on the edge. We like the
image of “Yeah! That’s me! Living on the edge! Woo-hoo!” It’s become a popular way
to look at life. But if you see, even highways have lines, which provide margins for our
safety while we’re driving. If we go over one side, we’ll go into the ditch. If we cross
over the line in the middle, we could get killed. And we like those lines because they
help to keep us safe. Sometimes we don’t even realize how lines help to keep us safe.
I’m asahmed of this, but for the first 20 years of my life at work, I ignored my limits. I
felt horrible, physically, most of the time. I used to tell myself “I know I have limits and
that I’ve reached them, but I’m going to ignore them and see if or how long I can get
by with it.” I ran to doctors, trying to make myself feel better through pills, vitamins,
natural stuff and anything I could get my hands on. Some of the doctors would tell me,
“It’s just stress.” That just made me mad. I thought stress meant you don’t like what
you do or can’t handle life, and I love what I do. But I kept pushing myself, travelling,
doing speaking engagements and so on— simply exhausting myself. Finally, I
understood I was living an unsustainable life and needed to make some changes in
my outlook and lifestyle. I am proud to accept those changes.
You and I don’t have to be like everyone else or keep up with anyone else. Each of
us needs to be exactly the way we are, and we dont have to apologize for it. We’re not
all alike and we need to find a comfort zone in which we can enjoy our lives instead of
making ourselves sick with an overload of stress and pressure.
Based on your understanding of the passage, answer the following questions:

1. Making decision of how we get our lives in order

involves……………………………………
2. Why living on the edge has become popular?
3. Complete the following analogy correctly with a word from the passage.
a. Discipline : carelessness :: ashamed : …………………………………
4. The phrase “potentially harmful circumstances” refers to circumstances
which……………………….
5. Based upon your understanding of the passage mark the given statement as
True or false.
6. “Loving and accepting yourself as what you are can remove all the stress and
pressure”
7. Lack of discipline leads to ………………………………….

‘घर’ जैसा छोर्ा-सा शब्द भावात्मक दृष्टर् से बहुत ववशाि होता है । इस आधार पर मकान,
भवन, फ़्िैर्, कमरा, कोठी, बँगिा आदद इसके समानार्थी बबिकुि भी नह ीं िगते हैं क्योंकक
इनका सामान्य सींबींध द वारों, छतों और बाहर व आींतररक साज-सज्जा तक सीलमत होता है ,
जबकक घर प्यार-भरोसे और ररश्तों की लमठास से बनता है। एक आदशट घर वह है , ष्जसमें
प्रेम व भरोसे की द वारें , आपसी तािमेि की छतें , ररश्तों की मधुरता के खििे-खििे रीं ग, स्नेह,
सम्मान व सींवेदनाओीं की सज्जा हो। घर में भावात्मकता है , वह भावात्मकता, जो सींबींधों को
महका कर पररवार को जोडे रिती है। यह बात हमें अच्छी तरह याद रिनी चादहए कक जब
ररश्ते महकते हैं, तो घर महकता है , प्यार अठिेलियाँ करता है , तो घर अठिेलियाँ करता है ,
ररश्तों का उल्िास घर का उल्िास होता है , इसलिए ररश्ते हैं, तो घर है और ररश्तों के बीच
बहता प्रेम घर की नीींव है। यह नीींव ष्जतनी मज़बूत होगी, घर उतना ह मज़बूत होगा।
न जाने क्यों, आज का मनुटय सींवेदनाओीं से दरू होता जा रहा है , उसके मन की कोमिता,
कठोरता में बदि रह है ; ददन-रात कायट में व्यस्त रहने और धनोपाजटन की अतत तीव्र िािसा
से उसके अींदर मशीतनयत बढ़ रह है , इसलिए उसके लिए घर के मायने बदि रहे हैं; उसकी
अहलमयत बदि रह है , इसी कारण आज पररवार में आपसी किह, द्वींद्व आदद बढ़ रहे हैं।
आज की पीढ़ प्राइवेसी (वैयष्क्तकता) के नाम पर एकाकीपन में सुि िोज रह है। उसकी सोच
‘मेरा कमरा, मेर दतु नया’ तक लसमर् गई है। एक छत के नीचे रहते हुए भी हम एकाकी होते
जा रहे हैं। काश, सब घर की अहलमयत समझें और अपना अहीं हर्ाकर घर को घर बनाए रिने
का प्रयास करें ।
