1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :

Mother nature has been very generous to us by giving us so many resources of water- rain water, rivers, lakes, melting glaciers and ground water. The demand for water is ever increasing but the supply is far from adequate.

Given the lack of water in rivers, people have been resorting to pumping out ground water for personal consumption and for farming. As a result, ground water table has fallen to alarming levels. Moreover, harmful fertilisers used for growing crops have contaminalej ground water so that in many places it is not fit for drinking.

It is time to wake up. Every drop of water is a source of life. It is high time we realise that water resources are not permanent. Soon, we as a family, society and nation will be struggling to get a drop of clean potable water. We have to focus on water conservation and stop polluting our water resources.

Each one of us also needs to do our bit by avoiding use of plastic, recycling waste products and keeping our surroundings clean. Every town, every village should have an eco-friendly garbage sorting and disposal system. Every school and college should initiate programmes educating youngsters about the importance of our natural resources, especially water and air. We have to train new generations to adopt an eco-friendly way of life.

Durga Puja has made its place in the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity It is the first Asian festival to receive the prestigious recognition. Apart from the honour, this will bring international tourists, who want to witness the grandeur of the Puja, to Bengal.

Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee also tweeted, "Proud moment for Bengal! To every Bengali across the world, Durga Puja is much more than a festival, it is an emotion that unites everyone. And now, Durga Puja has been added to the representative list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. We are all beaming with joy!"

1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow : (WBCHSE MODEL SET)

Curiosity, the insatiable desire to understand the world around us, is a fundamental human trait. It fuels our exploration, propels scientific discovery, and fosters creativity in all its forms. From a child's fascination with a buzzing bee to a scientist's pursuit of a groundbreaking theory, curiosity lies at the heart of every human endeavour. However, curiosity is not simply about acquiring knowledge. It's about the constant questioning, the tireless digging beneath the surface of things. It's the "why" that follows every "what", the urge to not just see, but to understand. A curious mind is an open mind, willing to embrace new ideas and challenge established beliefs.

Curiosity can also be a powerful motivator. It drives us to overcome obstacles and persevere in the face of difficulty. The pursuit of answers can be a long and arduous journey, but for the truly curious, the satisfaction of discovery is the ultimate reward. While the benefits of curiosity are undeniable, its power can sometimes be misused. Unchecked curiosity can lead to recklessness and a disregard for consequences. It's important to temper our inquisitiveness with a sense of responsibility and respect for the boundaries of others.

Ultimately, a healthy balance is key. Curiosity, when harnessed effectively, can be a transformative force in our lives. It can empower us to learn, grow, and make a positive impact on the world around us.

1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :

Darjeeling: The country's premier mountaineering institute, Himalayan Mountaineering Institute (HMI) conquered the sky, mountain and ocean at one go in Africa, that too, with a differently-abled adventurous group from Calcutta.

Group Captain Jai Kishan, principal of HMI, had conceptualised the Kanchenjunga to Kilimanjaro (K2K) expedition with Uday Kumar, 35, who describes himself as a one-legged runner, from March this year.

"The HMI team along with Uday climbed Mt Kilimanjaro (the highest peak in Africa at an altitude of 19,341 feet). We also skydived and helped Uday experience scuba diving (at the Indian Ocean)," said Jai Kishan.

Apart from Jai Kishan, the team to Tanzania consisted of two female members Captain Shruti S Chanaveeragoudra and Sulxchana Tamang (an Everester) along with Subedar Mahendra Kumar Yadav and Pawel Sharma from HMI.

When the team first attempted to climb Mt Kilimanjaro, Uday had to trek for 17 hours to reach the top. He said that conquering the mountain was more difficult than sky or scuba diving.

"This experience was completely different. The landscape there is different with no trees. I had difficulty breathing. The last 500 meters was difficult and I suffered from mountain sickness. I could see and hear everything but I just could not react," Uday told the media.

The climber said that he was so exhausted in the last leg that he thought he would not make it to the top. "My teammates, especially our leader Jai Kishan, egged me on like a parent. I thought time had come to a still," said Uday.

Uday has been trained by the HMI for the past two years and has completed three courses adventure, climbing and high-altitude trekking.
