He studied the people, plants and strange animals and claimed the land for Britain. In 1788 the British government sent 750 prisoners and 250 guards to live in Australia. Many stayed and began to build the houses and farm. Others followed because British prisons were very full. Life was very hard. But in 1851 people discovered gold.

Q.1. Read the following poem carefully and answer the questions that follow. 5
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
Whose woods these are I think I know
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives the harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promise to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
- Robert Frost

Seconds before Neha entered her bedroom when, suddenly, she heard an outcry from below. "It's all over," she thought as she stiffened and sank down on the stairs. It was then that baby-boy had slid through the hole, hit the second-floor window shade and landed heavily on Vikram's chest. His strong arms closed tightly around Kanhaiya. Vikram lost his balance and fell back.
Looking out through the bedroom window grille, sobbing Neha, noticed that the crowd had dispersed; even Kanhaiya was not there. She rushed down and a man on the ground floor told her that her son was safe and had been taken to a nearly clinic.
Kanhaiya, who was being treated for minor bruises, grabbed and clung her when she approached him. Standing by him was a young stranger who was the savior of her beloved son. "I have no words to express my gratefulness to you," she kept on telling the stranger. "I was only doing what I had to do," said Vikram, "but I wish nobody'd leave small children near windows."

Q.3. Read the following text and answer the questions given below it: 10
In 1964 an American journalist called Norman Cousins developed a serious problem with his back. It turned out that he had an illness called 'ankylosing spondylitis', which was extremely painful and according to doctors, incurable. He was admitted to hospital, unable to move and was prescribed a course of strong painkilling drugs. Cousins knew that negative emotions could make you ill, and began to wonder whether positive emotions and particularly laughter might make you better.
He stopped taking the drugs, and moved out of the hospital into a hotel room, which was not only a more cheerful place to be but was also cheaper. There he hired a lot of Marx Brothers and candid camera films, and started to watch them. He found that every time he laughed, the laughter acted as anesthetic and gave him relief from pain. And the effect lasted some time: 10 minutes' laughter could give him around two hours free from pain. More important, he found that he was slowly getting better, and eventually recovered completely from illness. For many years, the medical professionals refused to take Cousins' claims seriously, but now things are changing and some American hospitals have set up 'laughter rooms', where patients can watch videos, listen to cassettes and read joke books, instead of sitting around feeling depressed.
A) Find word/s from the text that are opposite in meaning to the following words: 0.5x4=2
a) light b) dull c) partially d) elated
B) State whether the following statements are true or false: 0.5x4=2
a) 'Ankylosing spondylitis' is an incurable disease.
b) Negative emotions do not worsen a disease.
c) Norman Cousins was not born in 1964.
d) The text suggests that laughter is the best medicine.
C) Answer the following questions: 2x3=6
a) Why was Cousins admitted to hospital?
b) How did the hospitals react to the claims made by Cousins initially?
c) Why have some American hospitals set up 'laughter rooms'?

Leisure
What is life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have not time to stand and stare. - W.H. Davies

The train was moving fast. Outside the window the freezing cold of winter ruled. The compartment was filled with cold, bored passengers.
Suddenly, a little boy pushed his way through the discourteous grown-up legs. His father chose to stay by the door behind us. The train continued to wobble its way down into a tunnel. Then something very strange happened. The little boy slid down from the seat and put his hand on my knee. For a moment, I thought that he wanted to pass me and return to his father. But he leaned forward and stretched his hand up towards mine. He wanted to say something to me, I thought, I bowed my head to receive the message. Wrong again! What I received was a loud kiss on the cheek.
The boy calmly returned to his seat, leaned back and continued casually looking out the window. I was shocked. What just happened ? A kid kissing cactus-like creatures like us ? Soon enough, all of my neighbours were duly kissed. Nervous and bewildered, we grinned at the father. When he saw our questioning glances as he got ready for his stop, he offered a clue.

Daniel Defoe was born in London in 1660. He was not very educated and spent many years of his young life studying religion and later travelling as a merchant. He travelled widely and built up a successful business. During this period, he married and started raising a family. However, around 1692, his business failed and he fell into debt. Since he had always been interested in politics, he tried to earn money by writing political articles for the newspaper. But his political writing brought only troubles and increasing debts, and so Defoe turned to fiction writing. His first novel, written in 1719, when Defoe was nearly sixty years old, was to become one of the best-known adventure stories in the world. The novel was Robinson Crusoe-a story which thrills readers even today, more than two hundred and fifty years later.
Robinson Crusoe brought Defoe great success and helped him pay back part of his debts. He continued writing novels such as Moll Flanders, Colonel Jack, and two other Robinson Crusoe's stories, but none became as popular as the first one.

Q.1. Read the following poem carefully and answer the questions that follow. 5
Leisure
What is life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.
No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows.
No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass.
No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night.
No time to turn at Beauty's glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance.
No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began.
A poor life this if, full of care,
We have not time to stand and stare. - W.H. Davies

The train was moving fast. Outside the window the freezing cold of winter ruled. The compartment was filled with cold, bored passengers.
Suddenly, a little boy pushed his way through the discourteous grown-up legs. His father chose to stay by the door behind us. The train continued to wobble its way down into a tunnel. Then something very strange happened. The little boy slid down from the seat and put his hand on my knee. For a moment, I thought that he wanted to pass me and return to his father. But he leaned forward and stretched his hand up towards mine. He wanted to say something to me, I thought, I bowed my head to receive the message. Wrong again! What I received was a loud kiss on the cheek.
The boy calmly returned to his seat, leaned back and continued casually looking out the window. I was shocked. What just happened ? A kid kissing cactus-like creatures like us ? Soon enough, all of my neighbours were duly kissed. Nervous and bewildered, we grinned at the father. When he saw our questioning glances as he got ready for his stop, he offered a clue.

Daniel Defoe was born in London in 1660. He was not very educated and spent many years of his young life studying religion and later travelling as a merchant. He travelled widely and built up a successful business. During this period, he married and started raising a family. However, around 1692, his business failed and he fell into debt. Since he had always been interested in politics, he tried to earn money by writing political articles for the newspaper. But his political writing brought only troubles and increasing debts, and so Defoe turned to fiction writing. His first novel, written in 1719, when Defoe was nearly sixty years old, was to become one of the best-known adventure stories in the world. The novel was Robinson Crusoe-a story which thrills readers even today, more than two hundred and fifty years later.
Robinson Crusoe brought Defoe great success and helped him pay back part of his debts. He continued writing novels such as Moll Flanders, Colonel Jack, and two other Robinson Crusoe's stories, but none became as popular as the first one.
