MODEL PAPER FOR S.A.II
CLASS IX
Time: 3 hours
Max. Marks: 70
SECTION A: Reading (20 Marks)
1a). Read the following passage carefully: (5marks )
Our house is filled with
photos. They cover the walls of my kitchen, dining room and den. I see our
family's entire history, starting with my wedding, continuing through the
births of both sons, buying a home, family gatherings and vacations. When my
sons were little, they loved to pose. They waved, danced, climbed trees, batted
balls, hung upside down from the jungle gym and did anything for a picture. But
when they reached adolescence, picture-taking changed into something they
barely tolerated. Their bodies were growing at haphazard speeds. Reluctantly
they stood with us or with their grandparents at birthday and smiled weakly at
the camera for as short a time as possible.
I am the chronicler of our photographs. I select those to be
framed and arrange the others in albums. The process is addictive, and as the
shelves that hold our albums become fuller and fuller, I wonder what will
become of them. Will anyone look at these photographs in future years? If my
sons look at them, what will they think of us and of themselves? One bright
afternoon, I took some photographs of my father with my husband as they fished
in a lake near our vacation house. As my sons and I sat on the shore and
watched them row away, I picked the camera up and photographed the beautiful
lake surrounded by green trees. The two men I loved gradually grew smaller
until all I could see were my father's red shirt, and the tan and blue caps on
their heads.
My father died a week later, and suddenly those photos became
priceless to me. I wept when I pasted them in our album. I wept again
afterwards when I saw my younger son looking at them. It was a few days before
he went away to college. He had taken all our albums down from the bookshelves
in the den and spread them out on the carpet. It had been a very long time
since I had seen him doing this. Once he stopped posing for pictures, he seemed
to lose interest in looking at them. But now he was on the verge of leaving
home. This was his special time to look ahead and look back. I stood for a moment
in the hall by the den, and then tiptoed away. I didn't take a photo of my son
that afternoon, but I will remember how he looked for as long as I live. Some
pictures, I learned, don't have to be taken with a camera.

carefully: (5 marks)
The
Leader
Patient
and steady with all he must bear,
Ready
to meet every challenge with care,
Easy
in manner, yet solid as steel,
Strong
in his faith, refreshingly real,
Isn't
afraid to propose what is bold,
Doesn't
conform to the usual mould,
Eyes that have foresight, for hindsight won't do, Never backs
down when he sees what is true, Tells it all straight, and means it all too.
Going
forward and knowing he's right,
Even
when doubted for why he would fight,
Over
and over he makes his case clear
Reaching
to touch the ones who won't hear.
Growing
in strength, he won't be unnerved,
Ever
assuring he'll stand by his word.
Wanting
the world to join his firm stand,
Bracing
for war, but praying for peace,
Using his power so evil will cease:
So
much a leader and worthy of trust,
