SECTION-I: PROSE
(Reading for Comprehension,
Language Study, Summary and Mind Mapping)
Q.1 Read the extract and complete the activities given below.(12)
|
I spent 32 years in Information
Technology out of which I was a Chief Executive Officer or MD or the software
head for 23 years for large global multinational software companies with
thousands of software professionals’ worldwide and 6 offices in the US, 3 in
Europe, 1 in Japan and 1 in Australia. I had to travel all over the globe
around 150 times for business. During this period, I had also written 4 books
with 500-700 pages each on Information Technology published by Tata
McGraw-Hill and then translated into Chinese for global distribution. I learnt a lot of things when I
was running these large companies. The first one was the importance of
teamwork. In today’s world, nothing is possible without teamwork. You cannot
be successful if you are a loner and an egoistic person. Secondly, you need
to lead from the front by setting a good example in front of your staff.
Third was that you need to treat your subordinates and your colleagues as
friends. In my career, I made a few mistakes, but learnt a lot about
motivation, being a good listener, target setting and the art of delegation
which forms such an important part of today's management. After working for all these
software companies for so many years, I wanted to return to my first love
i.e. to read and write on various subjects concerning human life and
existence. Therefore, I gave up two offers of around 3 crore rupees per annum
to become a writer. This is how my second innings as a writer in Marathi
began.
After this, I have written about 34
books in Marathi. Most of them have become bestsellers with tens of thousands
of copies sold for each. However, it is not the sales or the money that is
important to me as much as the fact that these books have brought about very
good changes in the lives of thousands of readers.

Q.2 (A) Read the extract and complete the activities
given below:(12) [18]
|
Change is the only constant and disruptive
technologies are only quickening its pace. "I've been an entrepreneur
all my life. Never has the pace of change been as high as it is today. Today,
we are facing a large number of disruptive forces, especially those caused by
technology," Nilekani said. He shared the example of the iPhone, which
is currently celebrating its 10th anniversary. "What we have seen in the
past 10 years is a complete change in the balance of technology from serving
the enterprise to serving the consumer. Today, when you look at the leading
companies in the world by Market Capitalisation, they are all companies that
service consumers like Facebook, Google, Amazon, Apple and so on. This is
because the balance of power has shifted to consumer technology," He
said.
The constant change will require constant learning
and relearning. The core message from Nilekani therefore was: Lifetime
learning. "The good news is that you have got degree from IIT Madras.
The not so good news is that you can't stop learning. You will have to keep
learning for the rest of your life because we are now entering an era of
lifelong learning," he said. And by life-long learning, he didn't mean
"going to a campus and have fun for five years." It will be learning
in short bursts, any time learning, anywhere learning. It's going to be just
in time learning. A lot of it will even be online learning.
This need for constant learning and relearning will
come because of our collective inability to predict the kind of jobs that
will be done in future or the kind of organisations that people will be
working for in future. The high rate of automation in the jobs will have an
impact on the way jobs are done. We have seen in the past that technology has
made repetitive jobs go away as computers became more and more powerful. In
the past 10-15 years, you are seeing the rise of AI (Artificial Intelligence)
and Machine Learning. And increasingly, in the last 5-6 years, the rise of
deep learning, which allows you to use a new kind of technology called neural
networks that use a lot of data to make machines smarter and smarter. |
A1.Read the
following statements and find the two correct statements that state the theme
of the extract:
(a) The extract is
about Nandan Nilekani as an entrepreneur and his achievements.
(b) The extract is
about a change in technology in recent past and changes resulted from it.
(c) The extract is
about life-long learning and relearning for the rest of our life.
(d) The extract is

Illustrate the idea of lifelong learning as mentioned in the extract.(2)
Answer -
According to the
writer lifelong learning means learning in short bursts, education and the
development of skills beyond formal education. It's anytime and anywhere
learning. It is just in time learning, and much of this learning will be
online.
A4. Today,
online education has become an integral part of all
sectors. Write your views.(2)
Answer -
Yes, I agree that
online education has become an integral part of all sectors today. Online
education is important because it's flexible and affordable. It meets a variety
of learning needs. It helps students to search for advancement in their
careers. Our life now becomes very fast and changing. To fulfil the needs of
today’s life, we have to update our knowledge and understanding every time. For
this purpose, online education gives us good support. We get everything at home.
So, online education has become an integral part of all sectors today.

B) Summarising:(3)

of the above extract by using the following points-
Change and
disruptive technologies - constant learning and relearning - lifelong learning
- impact on the job.
Answer -
"Embracing
Change: The Need for Lifelong Learning in a Tech-Driven World"
The passage emphasizes that
change is constant and accelerating due to disruptive technologies. Writer
highlights how technology has shifted the balance of power from enterprises to
consumers. Leading global companies now thrive by catering directly to
consumers. To adapt to this rapid change, lifelong learning is essential. Writer
stresses that education is no longer confined to traditional institutions but
must be continuous, flexible, and often online. This shift is driven by the
unpredictability of future jobs and the increasing role of automation, AI, and
deep learning in transforming industries. As technology advances, individuals
must constantly learn and relearn to stay relevant in the evolving job market.

choose. Henceforth I ask not good fortune, I myself am

A man without liberty is like a body without a

Q.3
(B) Read the extract and write the appreciation of the poem given below:
|
Is anybody happier because you passed his way? Does anyone remember that you spoke to him today? This day is almost over, and its toiling time is through; Is there anyone to utter now a kindly word of you? Did you give a cheerful greeting to the friend who came along? Or a churlish sort of "Howdy" and then vanish in the throng? Were you selfish pure and simple as you rushed along the way, Or is someone mighty grateful for a deed you did today? Can you say tonight, in parting with the days that's slipping fast, That you helped a single brother of the many that you passed? Is a single heart rejoicing over what you did or said; Does a man whose hopes were fading now with courage look ahead? |
