Section – A (Reading)

Q1. Read the following passage carefully

(1) Ten-year-old Ziauddin, studying at Zamia Millia Islamia School, loves to hear and to te

stories. But between his studies, his friends and his hectic lifestyle, he hasn’t found muc

time for them recently. So it came as a pleasant surprise when he and his classmate hear

storyteller Harpreet Kaur read and enact the story, ‘‘‘The Magical Web Bridge’’ at JamaFoundation Week – a work of fiction, set in the natural world.

(2) With the help of props like a weaver bird, a spider, a tree and a nest, Harpreet held th

students spellbound, narrating the story of a Baya (weaver) bird who is imaginativ

creative and active. He not only builds a nest to woo his mate, but crosses geographic

boundaries by constructing a nest so long it leads him to another city.

(3) Asked most children said that they recalled seeing the bird on their campus, but couldn

remember it’s shape, colour of size. Immediately after the workshop, some children rushe

to see the Baya and the nest. They started studying its behavior and asking questions.

(4) The workshop was organized by ‘Katha’ under their new initiative, Katha’s Storytelleunlimited(SUN). Sun is made up of People with a passion for reading, who believe strong

that all should grow up with lap-time stories and books. They should be given time onc

week to raise awareness in their neighborhood, and encourage others to enjoy stories an

Reading.

(5) The story teaches children valuable lessons about cooperation and environment

awareness-birds trees work in tandem, and if we don’t start seriously thinking about th

natural world, it might soon only remain in stories and pictures.

(6) Delighted with the children’s response, Jamia’s librarian, Dr. Anisa khan said, ‘‘Getting th

children to read a story is tricky business so we try to capture their imagination and makreading fun by having story telling sessions. This way they absorb the story better. ‘‘ Sh

adds, ‘‘We don’t want children to be Just bookworms but have an all round knowledge

things. We want to broaden their horizons.

(I). On the bases of the reading of the passage, answer the following questions as briefly a

possible. (4)
