Q1 Read the passage carefully.
Red Cross: How Hope Evolved
On June 24, 1859, Emperors Napoleon III and Franz Joseph I engaged in
the Battle of Solferino, commanding a combined total of about 270,000
troops onto the field for a single day of battle. Nearly 40,000 were either
dead, injured, or missing, many of whom were simply left to die on the
battlefield. Later, spectators crowded the fields, looking for loved ones,
searching for items they could sell, or simply taking in the horrors of the
battle .A Swiss businessman and social activist Jean Henri Dunant, who
was traveling in Solferino witnessed all this.
Jean Henri Dunantwitnessed the atrocities of war as well as the countries
not prepared or equipped to ease the suffering of those who had been
injured in the Battle of Solferino. Dunant organized a group of volunteers to
help bring water and food to the injured, to assist with medical treatment, or
write letters to the families of those who were dying and he urged the public
to create an organization which would assist the wounded, regardless of
which side they fought for during times of war. After that moment, he wrote
the book, A Memory of Solferino, which urged the public to create an
organization which would assist the wounded, regardless of which side
they fought for during times of war. His writing inspired countless others to
rally behind him in the creation of the International Federation of the Red
Cross.
The modern-day Red Cross began by devoting itself largely to disaster
relief and epidemic treatment. This effort continues to this day. One of the
easiest ways you can help the Red Cross is to make sure you are able to
donate blood and make an appointment at the Red Cross website. But,
donating blood isn't the only way you can help out—the Red Cross also
encourages donating your time if you can. This is what the Red Cross
wants everyone to know.

Q2 Read the passage carefully-
The Road to Success
1. The Road to success is not straight; there is a curve called failure, a loop
called confusion, speed bumps called friends, caution lights called family,
and you will have flats called jobs. But, if you have a spare called
determination, an engine called perseverance, insurance called faith, and a
driver called God, you will make it to a place called success!
2. In spite of all our planning and preparation, unexpected challenges are
certain to arise. The bumps in the road are unavoidable, but you’ll never
get to your destination if you aren’t willing to drive over them. The
difference between a disaster and triumph lies in whether or not you’re
prepared and willing to weather the storm. If you’re ready, those bumps will
become stepping-stones.
3. The key thing to realize is that working harder is same as working
smarter. How do you work smarter? You just need to have the right skills.
People want improved circumstances and better life without an improved
self. They want victory without paying the price or making efforts. It really
cannot happen without the other. Any improvements that have not been
generated by improving yourself are superficial and short-lived. If you want
to have a better future, you have to change yourself. Stop worrying about
the various challenges that will come your way. Just believe in yourself and
use them as stepping-stones.
4. “Success” is getting whatever you want out of life without violating the
rights of others.” It is not an accident. Success is the result of our
attitude and our attitude is a choice. Hence success is a matter of choice
and not chance.
5. Today success represents a holistic and positive attitude to life. Attitude
is everything. Success is not restricted within some kind of brick and mortar
premises. It assumes the individuality of a complete act executed with
perfection; material achievements do not define life. We don’t remember
sports stars for the products they endorse but the spirit of achievement
they represent. In the abundance of positive attitude underline the grandeur
of a truly rewarding rich life.
6. Success can be measured from two standpoints—the external and the
internal. Externally it is the measure of a job well done and recognition.
Internally it the feeling of achievement and wholeness derived from the
completion of a task or fulfillment of desire.
2.1 On the basis of your reading of the above extract, answer the following
questions in 30-40 words each:
(a) What qualities lead one to the place called success?
(b) What is the difference between disaster and triumph?
(c) How can one have a better future?
(d) Describe two ways to measure success.
2.2 On the basis of your reading of the above extract, answer the following:
(a) The synonym of ‘victory’ as given in paragraph 2 is ____________
(i) Planning (ii) Preparation (iii) Triumph (iv) Challenges
(b) The synonym of ‘surplus’ as given in paragraph 5 is ______________
(c) The antonym of ‘Defeat’ as given in paragraph 6 is _____________
(i) Recognition (ii) Achievement (iii) Completion (iv) Success
