Q2) Read the passage given below and complete the sentences that follow:
Many animals are able to communicate with each other very well-but none of them can talk as we
do. That is, animals cannot speak and therfore cannot use words.
Birds cry out and make sounds that other birds understand. Smells, movements, and sounds
are used for communication by animals. They express joy or anger or fear through these.
Human speech is a very complicated process, which no animal can perform. One reason is that in
a very special way we use a whole series of organs to produce the sounds we want to make when
we utter words. The way our vocal cords are made to vibrate, the way the throat, mouth and nasal
cavities are adjusted, the way the lips, teeth, lower jaw, tongue, and palate are moved just to make
vowel and consonant sounds, is something animals can't do.
They cannot produce a whole series of words to make a sentence. And there is another, perhaps
more important reason why animals can't talk.
Words are only labels for objects, actions, feelings expressions and ideas. For example, the word
'bird' is a label for a living, flying object. Other words describe its colour, shape, flying and singing.
2
Still other words would be used to tell what the speaker thinks or feels about the bird or its actions.
For human beings, therefore, the use of words means the use of labels or symbols, and then
organizing them in a certain way to communicate something.
This requires a degree of intelligence and logical thinking that no animals have. So, they can't talk
the way people do.
1. While human beings use words to communicate, birds and animals are different since they
use ______________________________________________ for communication.
2. Though birds and animals cannot communicate like human beings, they are capable
of____________________________________________.
3. The complicated process of human speech requires a very special way of using _________
_________________________.
4. Using words for communication requires intelligence and____________________.
5. Pick out a word form the third paragraph that means 'to move from side to side very quickly
and with small movements'
Q3) Read the following extract and answer the questions given below :
People moan about poverty as a great evil and it seems to be an accepted belief that if people had
plenty of money, they would be happy, and get more out of life. As a rule there is more genuine
satisfaction in life and more is obtained from life in the humble cottage of the poor man than in
the palace of rich men, who are attended by servants and governesses at a later stage. At the
same time I am glad to think they do not know what they have missed.
It is because I know how sweet and happy and pure the home of honest poverty is, how free from
perplexing care and social envies and jealousies, how loving and united the members are in
the common interest of supporting the family that I sympathise with the rich man‟s boy and
congratulate the poor man‟s son. It is for these reasons that from the ranks of the poor so many
strong eminent self-reliant men have always sprung. If you read the list of the “Immortals who
were not born to die” you will find that most of them have been poor.
(iii) Why does the author pity the rich man's boy?
(v) Find two other words in the passage with similar meanings to „confusing‟ and self - dependent.
