    Section A- Reading
    I. Read the poem and answer the questions: (5x1=5)
    A bird came down the walk:
    He did not know I saw;
    He bit an angle worm in halves
    And ate the fellow, raw.
    And then he drank a dew
    From a convenient grass,
    And then hopped sidewise to the wall
    To let a beetle pass.
    He glanced with rapid eyes
    That hurried all abroad, —
    They looked like frightened beads, I thought;
    He stirred his velvet head
    Like one in danger; cautious,
    I offered him a crumb,
    And he unrolled his feathers
    And rowed him softer home
    Than oars divide the ocean,
    Too silver for a seam,
    Or butterflies, off banks of noon,
    Leap, plash less, as they swim.

    II. Read the passage and answer the questions: (5x1=5)


    Trees are of importance not only to man but also to birds and animals. The branches of trees
    give shelter to millions of birds and forest give shelter to numerous wild animals. We value
    trees not only for their usefulness but also for their beauty. They have a way of refreshing the
    eye and also the mind. Perhaps that is why the Rishis of olden days were drawn to the forests,
    and they and their people chose to build forest homes in the company of Nature. In modern
    times, when Rabindranath Tagore started a school, he too chose a place full of trees and
    called it Shantiniketan or the home of peace.
    Once upon a time, large areas of India were covered with forests full of numerous kinds of
    trees. As the population grew, trees began to be cut down for man’s use. That is how the
    wonderful forest described in our ancient poems came to be destroyed, and a great part of our
    forest wealth was lost. Now, we are trying to replace this loss, and our government advices
    that trees should be planted all over the country. A new festival called ‘Van Mahotsava’ has
    been started for this purpose. Since trees are the country’s wealth we must consider it our
    sacred duty to protect them. We should plant new trees wherever we can and look after them
    well.
    Questions:
    1. Why is ‘Van Mahotsava’ organized from time to time?
    2. Why did the Rishis in the olden days make forest their home?

    4. How can we replace the loss of forests?
