Comprehension<\/span><\/p>\n

I. Answer the following questions briefly.<\/span><\/p>\n

Question 1.
\nWhat is the ultimate aim of a bright student? And why?
\nAnswer:
\nThe ultimate aim of a bright student is to continue his\/her studies at a world-class educational institute. He\/She wants to join it as there are high standards. One will do great things when one studies at a top-class institute. So, a bright student wants to join a top-ranked institute.
\n(Or)
\nThe ultimate aim of a bright student is to study at IIT. It is because, these institutions maintain high standards. One can do big things if one studies at IIT. Hence, a bright student’s ultimate aim is to study at IIT.<\/p>\n

\"AP<\/p>\n

Question 2.
\n‘His heart sank in sorrow.’ Whose heart sank in sorrow? Why?
\nAnswer:
\nNarayana Murthy’s heart sank in sorrow. Because of the poor financial position, Murthy’s father refused to send him to IIT. Though he had passed with a high rank, there was no chance for him to study at IIT which was his dream. So, he was very sorrowful.<\/p>\n

Question 3.
\nHow did Murthy react when his father expressed his helplessness to send him to IIT?
\nAnswer:
\nWhen his father expressed his helplessness to send him to IIT, Murthy was disappointed. It seemed his dreams had burnt to ashes. His heart sank in sorrow. He didn’t share his feelings with anybody. His heart was bleeding but he didn’t get angry with anybody.<\/p>\n

Question 4.
\nThe author calls Murthy an introvert. Which action of Murthy substantiates this claim of the author about Murthy?
\nAnswer:
\n‘Introvert’ means someone who is quiet and shy, and does not enjoy being with other people. When Murthy’s father refused to send him to IIT, he became sorrowful. Though he was sorrowful, he never shared his unhappiness or helplessness with anybody. He did not reply. He remained silent. So, we can say that Murthy was an introvert by nature.<\/p>\n

\"AP<\/p>\n

Question 5.
\nWhat, according to Narayana Murthy, can change the life of a person?
\nAnswer:
\nAccording to Narayana Murthy, a person himself can change his life by hard work. It is not the institution or any other thing that can change the life of a person.<\/p>\n

Question 6.
\nHow does the motto ‘Powered by intellect and driven by values’ describe Murthy’s life?
\nAnswer:
\nMurthy really believes in the motto, ‘Powered by intellect and driven by values’. He worked very hard. He didn’t bother about his personal life or comforts. He was a genius right from the beginning. He shared his wealth with others. He never used the help of any caste, community or political connections to go up in life. He proved that it was possible to earn wealth legally and ethically. He built a team of people who were equally good. The above words reveal that he was powered by intellect and driven by values.<\/p>\n

I. Based on the information you gather about the persons, prepare a short biographical account of the person you like the most, emphasizing the exemplary work done by him\/her and present it to the group\/ whole class.<\/span>
\nAnswer:
\nMs. Srivalli was born on 15th August, 1992. She came from a poor family. Her father was a musician and her mother was a teacher. She was a bright student. Unfortunately, she met with an accident when she was eleven and the doctors amputated both her legs. After two years of relentless struggle, she could go back to her school. She could walk with the help of artificial limbs and slowly run. Now, she can do anything like a normal woman. She learnt music from guru Rama Sastry and now she is a good singer and composer of songs. In spite of her disability, she has worked hard with great determination, discipline and dedication and achieved her target.<\/p>\n

After she had met with the accident, her heart sank in sorrow. Sometimes she wanted to die. She hated God for doing this to her. She was terrified of her losing both the limbs. Her doctor Mr. Rao always encouraged her by telling her that she could walk and run normally. She tried and tried until she could walk. She didn’t give up at any stage. Srivalli always says, “The challenges in our lives are there to strengthen our convictions. They are not there to run us over.\u201d With the help of her parents, friends . and guru, Srivalli has managed to reach such a position in her life. She has proved that anything can be done, if one tries hard. From her life, we can understand that one need not lose hope. Her life shows us that one s disability can’t prevent one from reaching one’s target. I feel that her life is a source of inspiration to every woman. She is able to do all these only because of her strong will power. Hence, I believe in will power with which one can achieve wonders in one’s life. I would like to wish all the best for her in the future.<\/p>\n

II. You may also present this write up on the occasion of \u201cWomen\u2019s Day\u201d in your school.<\/span>
\nAnswer:
\nOur beloved headmaster, dear teachers and my fellow students!
\nI wish you a very good morning and welcome you all to the programme. At the outset, I would like to greet all the women a very happy ‘Women’s Day.’<\/p>\n

As we all know that 8th March is celebrated as International Women’s Day to commemorate women’s achievements and the contributions made by them to the society This day is also known as the United Nations Day for women\u2019s rights and international peace.<\/p>\n

I have a great pleasure to say a few words about a great girl Mary Griffith on this occasion. Mary Griffith, a thirteen year old girl, has set national records in track and swimming. She has been studying at the Mundelein Middle School and has cerebral palsy. In spite of her disability she set her records in 2004 and 2005 at the National Junior Disability Championships. She always say that sports have given her a lot more confidence and taught her to balance her life. Though she has been suffering from cerebral palsy, she hasn’t lost her hope. With great faith and determination she has done so well and set her own records. Her efforts are inspirational to all the women.<\/p>\n

We all wish her a great future and with this I will end my speech. I thank one and all for giving me this chance to share my views with you.<\/p>\n

He was thrilled to know that he had passed the test with a high rank.<\/p>\n

When Narayana Murthy told his father that he wanted to join IIT, his father reminded him of their poverty. Murthy\u2019s father advised him to stay in Mysore and study as much as he wanted. His father was very sad to say this. Murthy was disappointed and his heart sank in sorrow. He was an introvert so he never shared his sorrowfulness or helplessness with anybody. When his classmates were leaving for Madras, Murthy went to the station to say goodbye to them. Though they were all excited and talking loudly, Murthy remained silent. He wished them and they waved at him as the train slowly left the platform. Even after the train had left, he stood there motionless. He believed that he only could change his life by hard work. He unknowingly followed “Your best friend is yourself and your worst enemy is yourself, the philosophy of the Bhagavath Gita. With great determination, Narayana Murthy reached great heights in his life. He proved that it was possible to earn wealth legally and ethically.<\/p>\n
