QUESTION BANK & REVISION SHEET FOR TERM -II (2021-22)

CLASS-XI
SUBJECT: ENGLISH CORE

A. Read the passage given below.

1. In life we sometimes have disagreements with people. It could be with your partner,
with your boss, with your parents, or with a friend. When this happens, the important
thing is to try not to let a calm discussion turn into a heated argument. But of course
this is easier said than done.
2. The first thing Iwould sayis that the wayyou begin the conversation is very important.
Imagine you are a student and you share a flat with another student who you think isn't
doing her share of the housework. If you say, 'Look, you never do your share of the
housework. What are we going to do about it?', the discussion will very soon turn into
an argument. It's much more constructive to say something like, 'I think we'd better
have another look about how we divide up the housework. Maybe there's a better way
of doing it.'
3. My second piece of advice is simple. If you're the person who is in the wrong, just
admit it! This is the easiest and best way to avoid an argument. Just apologize to your
flat mate, your parents, or your husband, and move on. The other person will have more
respect for you in the future if you do that.
4. The next tip is don't exaggerate. Try not to say things like 'You always come home late
when my mother comes to dinner' when perhaps this has only happened twice, or 'You
never remember to buy the toothpaste." This will just make the other person think
you're being unreasonable, and will probably make him or her stop listening to your
arguments.
5. Sometimes we just can't avoid a discussion turning into an argument. But if you do start
arguing with someone, it is important to keep things under control and there are ways to
do this.
6. The most important thing is don't raise your voice. Raising your voice will just make
the other person lose their temper too. If you find yourself raising your voice, stop for a
moment and take a deep breath. Say 'I'm sorry I shouted, but this is very important to
me', and continue calmly. If you can talk calmly and quietly, you'll find your partner
will be more ready to think about what you are saying.

7. It is also very important to stick to the point. Try to keep to the topic you are talking
about. Don't bring up old arguments, or try to bring in other' issues. Just concentrate on
solving the one problem you are having, and leave the other things for another time. So,
for example, if you're arguing about the housework, don't start talking about mobile
phone bills as well.

8. And my final tip is that if necessary call 'Time out', like in a sports match. If you think
that an argument is getting out of control, then you can say-to the other person, 'Listen,
I'd rather talk about this tomorrow when we've both calmed down'. You can then
continue the discussion the next day when perhaps both of you are feeling less tense
and angry. That way there is much more chance that you will be able to reach an
agreement. You'll also probably find that the problem is much easier to solve when
you’ve both had a good night's sleep. Well, those are my tips.
9. But I want to say one last important thing. Some people think that arguing is always
bad. This is not true. Conflict is a normal part of life, and dealing with conflict is an

1
 important part of any relationship, whether it's three people sharing a flat, a married
couple, or just two good friends. If you don't learn to argue properly, then when a real
problem comes along, you won't be prepared to face it together. Think of the smaller
arguments as training sessions. Learn how to argue cleanly and fairly. It will help your
relationship become stronger and last longer.
Answer the following questions briefly:
(a) What happens if a complaint is exaggerated?
(b)Name two activities that to help to keep arguments under control.
(c) Raising our voice in an argument is not good. Why?
(d)What happens if we don’t learn to argue properly?
(e) How does ‘Time Out’ help’ in agruement?
(f) When is your partner in an argument more ready to think about your point of view?
(i) Find words/phrases from the passage which mean the OPPOSITE as each of the
following
(i) Surely (Para-4) (ii) Initial (Para 8)
(g) can help strengthen relationships.
(h) The second paragraph suggests when we _ others, it leads to argument.
B. Read the passage given below.
1. Color Therapy is a complementary therapy for which there is evidence dating back thousands of years
to the ancient cultures of Egypt, China and India. If we define it in simple terms, Color is a light of varying
wavelengths, thus each color has its own particular wavelength and energy.
4. Color is absorbed by the eyes, skin, skull, our ‘magnetic energy field’ or aura and the energy of color
affects us on all levels, that is to say, physical, spiritual and emotional. Every cell in the body needs light
energy – thus color energy has widespread effects on the whole body. There are many different ways of
giving color, including; Solarised Water, Light boxes/lamps with color filters, color silks and hands on
healing using color.
5. Color therapy can be shown to help on a physical level, which is perhaps easier to quantify, however
there are deeper issues around the colors on the psychological and spiritual levels. Our wellbeing is not, of
course, purely a physical issue. Fortunately, many more practitioners, both orthodox and complementary,
are now treating patients in a holistic manner.
6. Color Therapy is a totally holistic and non-invasive therapy and, really, color should be a part of our
everyday life, not just something we experience for an hour or two with a therapist. Color is all around us
everywhere. This wonderful planet does not contain all the beautiful colors of the rainbow for no reason.
Nothing on this earth is here just by chance; everything in nature is here for a purpose. Color is no
exception. All we need to do is to heighten our awareness of the energy of color, absorb it and see how it
can transform our lives.
(a) On the basis of your understanding of the above passage, make notes on it using headings
and sub- headings. Use recognizable abbreviations (wherever necessary-minimum four). Also
supply an appropriate title to it.
(b) Write a summary of the passage in about 80 words.

Case Study: Surface Tension

Surface tension has been well- explained by the

molecular theory of matter. According to this
theory, cohesive forces among liquid molecules are
responsible for the phenomenon of surface tension.
The molecules well inside the liquid are attracted
equally in all directions by the other molecules.
The molecules on the surface experience an inward
pull. So, a network is formed against the inward
pull, in order to move a molecule to the liquid
surface. It results in a greater potential energy on
surface molecules. In order to attain minimum potential energy and hence stable equilibrium, the free
surface of the liquid tends to have the minimum surface area and thereby it behaves like a stretched
membrane.

 Case Study: Simple Pendulum

A simple pendulum consists of a

mass m hanging from a string of
length L and fixed at a pivot point P. When
displaced to an initial angle and released, the
pendulum will swing back and forth with
periodic motion. By applying Newton's
second law for rotational systems, the
equation of motion for the pendulum may be
obtained as

d 2 g
+ sin  = 0 .
dt 2 L

If the amplitude of angular displacement is small enough that the small angle approximation ( sin    )
holds true, then the equation of motion reduces to the equation of simple harmonic motion

d 2 g
+  =0
dt 2 L
g
The simple harmonic solution is  ( t ) =  0 cos (t +  ) with  = being the natural frequency of the
L
motion.
