Preserving Nature is man’s prime responsibility. The earth does not

belong to us for us and abuse. It belongs to our children. As man became

civilized, he slowly lost his attachment with Nature. In his quest for

development, man cleared pristine forests and polluted the environment.

The magnitude of destruction increased in proportion to the magnitude

of his greed. As man drifted away from Nature, his problems increased

and his heart became hard and cold. The many calamities.misfortunes

and problems of our times are but the manifestation of this greed. This is



why we have injured people, animals and environment. If we want to set

things right we must reconnect with Nature.

50.Read the passage given below and answer the questions that

follow : 5 x 2 = 10

For foreign tourists, the best thing about visiting India was that one

didn’t have to break one’s head deciding where to go. The choice of

tourist sites was automatic and short: the Taj Mahal, the monuments of

Delhi, the places of Jaipur and Udaipur, the bathing ghats of Varnasi. A

few went to Kashmir and Goa. And the adventurous handful picked up

their rucksacks to trek through the Himalayas. But that was about all.

The rock-cut carvings of the South Indian temples, the forests of

Madhya Pradesh and the sand dunes of Rajasthan - for most tourists this

did not exist at all. Now the old whistle-stop tour image of India is



in for a radical change. Through a series of expensive promotion

campaigns, the Tourism Department is trumpeting India’s countless

glories: its golden beaches, its sanctuaries teeming with wildlife, its

quiet hill stations and its Buddhist historical sites.

As part of the hard sell, seminars are being organized to woo travel

agents in the US and Europe. Food festivals are introducing Europeans

to the mouthwatering

delights of the Indian cuisine. And the Government has liberalized rules

for hotels, air charters and other sectors of the tourism industry.

1. Why were foreign tourists attracted to India?

2. Mention some popular sites that interested foreign tourists.

3. What were the spots that failed to capture the attention of tourists?

4. Name some places that reveal India’s glory.

5. In what way is the Indian Government trying tolure more tourists?

51. Identify correct the errors in the following sentences: 5 x 1 = 5

(a) He was troubled by these news.

(b) I prefer milk than tea.

(c) She daily come late.

2. For what purpose, could the man be carrying the fowls?



3. Is it an easy task for the man to travel so?

4. Could the man prove harmful to other commuters on the road? Give
