SECTION  A - Reading (20 marks) 
 
1. Read the following passage carefully:                       
Born on March 21,1916 Bismillah khan belonged to a family of professional shehnai 
players. At the age of six, he moved to Benaras where his maternal uncle Ali Bux 
introduced him to the nuances of playing the simple reed instrument, the shehnai. For 
years to come the temple of Balaji and Mangla Maiya and the banks of the Ganga  
became the young apprentice’s favourite haunt where he could practise for hours in 
solitude. The flowing water of the Ganga inspired him to improvise and invent  ragas 
that were earlier considered to be beyond the range of the shehnai. 
 
His first award came at the age of 14, as the best performer at the All India Music 
Conference in Allahabad in 1930. In 1937, his exploits saw him bagging three medals at 
the Music Conference in Calcutta. On the first Independence Day, 15th August 1947, he 
played the shehnai for free India from the ramparts of Delhi’s Red Fort at the invitation 
of the then Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru .Awards and recognitions came thick and 
fast. He participated in the World Exposition in Montreal, in Cannes Art Festival and in 
the Osaka Trade Fair. An auditorium was named after him in Teheran-Tahar Mosiquee 
Ustaad Bismillah Khan. The World Music Institute celebrated his 80
th
 birthday in New 
York.

THE LAMP LIGHTER 
My tea is nearly ready and the sun has left the sky; 
It’s time to take the window to see Leerie going by: 
For every night at tea time and before you take your seat,  
With lantern and with ladder he comes posting up the street. 
Now Tom would be a driver and Maria go to sea,  
And papa’s a banker and as rich as he can be: 
But I, when I’m stronger and choose what I’m to do, 
Oh Leerie, I’ll go round at night and light the lamps with you! 
 
For we are very lucky, with a lamp before the door; 
And Leerie stops to light as he lights so many more; 
An O! Before you hurry by with ladder and with light,  
O Leerie, see a little child and nod to him tonight!

3. Read the following passage carefully:                              
PROTECT HERITAGE TREES IN CIVILISATIONAL INTEREST 
1. Trees are the best friends of man, for they provide him protection from the 
harshness of nature, be it rains or sunlight. Trees have their historic, scientific, 
medical and religious uses. When an apple fell on Newton’s head, it led to the 
discovery of the theory of gravitation, helping invention of aircraft. Over two millennia 
ago, Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya. A 
descendant of the same tree at the same spot attracts millions of pilgrims and 
tourists every year. 
2. The Forest Research Institute at Dehradun, which has a unique museum of trees, 
was instrumental in preserving the Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya. Its expertise also 
helped in preserving other ancient trees in the precincts of the Sai Baba temple at 
Shirdi in Maharashtra. It was, perhaps, these achievements that fetched the institute 
and the Archaeological Survey of India(ASI) the contract to save 131 trees in the 
800-year-old Ta Prohm temple in Cambodia, known for the trees that surround it. 
The ASI had earlier done a good restoration job in the Angkor Wat  temple complex 
in the country. A tree, believed to be as old as the Golden Temple at Amritsar and 
situated close to its sanctum sanctorum and another one at Ochira in Kerala under 
which ‘Parabrahmam’ is believed to be situated are called heritage trees.

SECTION  A - Reading (20 marks) 
 
1. Read the following passage carefully:                       
Born on March 21,1916 Bismillah khan belonged to a family of professional shehnai 
players. At the age of six, he moved to Benaras where his maternal uncle Ali Bux 
introduced him to the nuances of playing the simple reed instrument, the shehnai. For 
years to come the temple of Balaji and Mangla Maiya and the banks of the Ganga  
became the young apprentice’s favourite haunt where he could practise for hours in 
solitude. The flowing water of the Ganga inspired him to improvise and invent  ragas 
that were earlier considered to be beyond the range of the shehnai. 
 
His first award came at the age of 14, as the best performer at the All India Music 
Conference in Allahabad in 1930. In 1937, his exploits saw him bagging three medals at 
the Music Conference in Calcutta. On the first Independence Day, 15th August 1947, he 
played the shehnai for free India from the ramparts of Delhi’s Red Fort at the invitation 
of the then Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru .Awards and recognitions came thick and 
fast. He participated in the World Exposition in Montreal, in Cannes Art Festival and in 
the Osaka Trade Fair. An auditorium was named after him in Teheran-Tahar Mosiquee 
Ustaad Bismillah Khan. The World Music Institute celebrated his 80
th
 birthday in New 
York.

THE LAMP LIGHTER 
My tea is nearly ready and the sun has left the sky; 
It’s time to take the window to see Leerie going by: 
For every night at tea time and before you take your seat,  
With lantern and with ladder he comes posting up the street. 
Now Tom would be a driver and Maria go to sea,  
And papa’s a banker and as rich as he can be: 
But I, when I’m stronger and choose what I’m to do, 
Oh Leerie, I’ll go round at night and light the lamps with you! 
 
For we are very lucky, with a lamp before the door; 
And Leerie stops to light as he lights so many more; 
An O! Before you hurry by with ladder and with light,  
O Leerie, see a little child and nod to him tonight! 
 
-R.L Stevenson

3. Read the following passage carefully:                              
PROTECT HERITAGE TREES IN CIVILISATIONAL INTEREST 
1. Trees are the best friends of man, for they provide him protection from the 
harshness of nature, be it rains or sunlight. Trees have their historic, scientific, 
medical and religious uses. When an apple fell on Newton’s head, it led to the 
discovery of the theory of gravitation, helping invention of aircraft. Over two millennia 
ago, Buddha attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya. A 
descendant of the same tree at the same spot attracts millions of pilgrims and 
tourists every year. 
2. The Forest Research Institute at Dehradun, which has a unique museum of trees, 
was instrumental in preserving the Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya. Its expertise also 
helped in preserving other ancient trees in the precincts of the Sai Baba temple at 
Shirdi in Maharashtra. It was, perhaps, these achievements that fetched the institute 
and the Archaeological Survey of India(ASI) the contract to save 131 trees in the 
800-year-old Ta Prohm temple in Cambodia, known for the trees that surround it. 
The ASI had earlier done a good restoration job in the Angkor Wat  temple complex 
in the country. A tree, believed to be as old as the Golden Temple at Amritsar and 
situated close to its sanctum sanctorum and another one at Ochira in Kerala under 
which ‘Parabrahmam’ is believed to be situated are called heritage trees.
