A : Reading Test (Marks-50)
Read the passage
carefully and answer the questions following it. Unit-1: Lesson-2(B)
To be a good citizen,
you have to prepare yourself to do good work in society. Well, then how can you
prepare yourself?
First, you need
knowledge. Today’s society is knowledge-based. Without knowing modern sciences,
technologies including ICT and other necessary subjects, you will have
difficulty living a good life. The other areas you, as a good citizen, should
have knowledge about are:
• our country, its
constitution, geography and people
• our state, its
executive and legislative powers
• our judicial system
• our government and its
structures and functions
• our history, cultures,
traditions, literature, moral values and religions
• our socio-economic
activities and educational system
Second, you need skills
to do things. Knowledge is not enough. You must be able to apply your knowledge
to do things practically.
Finally, knowing and
doing things will bring about a change in your behaviour towards others. This
behavioural change will show your attitudes towards others, that is, it will
show how you think and feel about a person or thing.
Let’s take an example.
Suppose you, as a student, need to know about ‘group work’ in the classroom. So
you ask yourself or your teacher or anybody, “What is group work?” Or you may
find about it in a book. In this way, you can know, or you may have the
knowledge about group work: To do group work, the class has to be divided into
groups. Each group is to do some tasks given by the teacher or in the textbook.
The group members will discuss and share ideas and points, and finally one
member will write the answer. All this is knowledge about group work.
Then you start working
in groups. In each group you take turns discussing points, answering questions,
etc. In this way you actually do the task. Your teacher may monitor and help
you to do the work.
Lastly, through regular
group work it is expected that there will be noticeable changes in your
behaviour. Possible changes are:
• You will develop the
attitude of freely mixing and talking with your classmates and teacher.
• Your shyness will
gradually disappear.
• You will develop the
attitude of helping and cooperating with each other.
• You will learn to
behave in a democratic way.
Most importantly, these
behavioural changes taking place in you inside the classroom will be carried
over outside the classroom, in real-life situations.
