/CLASS VII/ ENGLISH

COMPREHENSION PASSAGE PASSAGE 1 1. Read the following passage. Gautham Buddha was an original thinker who gave us the Middle Path between the extremes of asceticism and indulgence, a system of philosophical thought and a religion. Buddha, the prince-turned-ascetic was truly a genius, but that alone would not have given him the status of an icon. During the Maurya period, a time of intellectual ferment, it is not the great king Chandragupta Maurya who was the icon. Rather, that particular honour goes to his mentor, Chanakya, who grew up in Punjab and studied in Taxila. Arthashastra, his magnum opus, concerns itself with power, with no considerations of morality or altruism. On the other hand, among the kings, it is Emperor Ashoka who stood the test of time. The emperor rejected the pure pursuit of power for Dhamma, piety, duty, good conduct, decency and purity. In the Golden Age it was Aryabhatta who is credited with founding significant fundamental theories of mathematics and astronomy, as well as giving us the great scientific tract Aryabhatta in 499 AD, is iconic. Thereafter, it is Akbar who stands out. The Bhakti movement produced many divines, but none like Guru Nanak. As we get nearer in time, we have Maharaja Ranjit Singh, Raja Rammohan Roy, Swami Vivekananda and the mathematical genius Ramanujan who stood out, as did Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose and Rabindranath Tagore. In recent times, it is since the world has become more and more complicated, sometimes it is not people but organizations and institutions like ISRO and the Election Commission that get great accolades.

Read the passage carefully. In olden times man’s worst enemy was nature. He lived under the continual threat of famine, infectious disease, storms on the earth and in the sea. A wet summer could bring death to a large population and winters were menace. Mountains were like a barrier between people of different countries, a sea was less a highway than an impassable division. If we go back to the pages of history, we find ample proofs that man, in the distant past, did not worship God but either the sun or winds or the sea. Fear urged him to worship these natural forces. Today the scenario has changed a lot. Though nature, still an enemy, is an enemy that is always unpredicted, and unpredictable can be conquered to certain extent. Modern agriculture assures us of an ample food supply. Modern transportation has reduced the distances between countries. Modern medicine and sanitation allow dense population to cover the ground without risk of infectious diseases. True is the fact that more severe natural disasters cannot be avoided even now. Against earthquake, flood and hurricane man has, as yet, devised no adequate protection. The Tsunami tragedy has once again given man shudders. The tragedy has become a nightmare for humanity. Now the scientists’ boastings seem to be cruel jokes. The tragedy has rendered man helpless and hapless with no protection from anywhere to heal his wounds. We are forced to ask the question, “Are we safe on this planet?” 2.A. Choose the option which is most appropriate. i. Nature used to ____________________________________. a. nourish man b. destroy man c. trouble man in various ways d. love man ii.
