Q2. B. Note Making: [4 marks]





Read the following extract carefully and make the notes with the help of the clues given below:

Naturally occurring platinum and platinum - rich alloys have been known for a long time. The Spaniards named the metal ‘platina’ or little silver, when they first encountered it in Colombia. The platinum group metals are rhodium, ruthenium, palladium, osmium, iridium and platinum. Of these, platinum is the most important. These metals are very similar in many ways and are extremely rare.

On an average, there is only a gramme of ruthenium in each tonne of the rock and barely a gramme of rhodium in over a 1000 tonnes of rock! Platinum’s wear and tarnish resistance characteristics are well suited for making fine jewellery. Other distinctive properties include - resistance to chemical attack, excellent high temperature characteristics and stable electrical properties. These metals are uniquely durable and can be used extremely efficiently - meaning that a very little goes a very long way. When recycled, over 96 percent can be recovered. The platinum group metals - or PGMS - plays an important role in our everyday life, for they are used in so many things from fountain pens to aircraft turbines. In fact, one in four of the goods manufactured today either contain one or the other of these metals. The catalytic converter - a pollution control device - is the largest application of platinum group metals.

Summary Writing

Q3. (A) Read the following extract and answer the questions given below: (11)



          We often hear this statement that “many of our young people spend more time before their T.V. sets, than they do in their classrooms or with their textbooks. “A bit exaggerated though it may sound, it is nearly true and our teenagers are being considerably influenced by the electronic media, particularly the T.V. The television has become the single most powerful influence in the lives of many of our youngsters today. Too often this happens to us much before we realise it ourselves.

          I am in no way trying to deny the many advantages of T.V. or minimise its manifold contributions to our world. On the other hand, I consider T.V. as one of the greatest scientific achievements of our times, bringing people closer than ever before.

         Television’s use of the modern satellite technology brings today even the remotest regions of the world to us in seconds, making the world a small (global) village. As we know, television also provides us with a fuller and more impressive coverage of current events than any other media.

        The T.V. does serve. In addition, as medium of education as well as entertainment. Besides, helping us to learn subjects taught in schools, college in greater depth, it enables us (National Geographic, Discovery channel etc.) to see and appreciate from close quarters (without having to go there, which is very expensive or even impossible for most of us) the wonders of God’s creation in any part of the world.
.


B. Summary:


Write a summary of the above extract with the help of the following points and suggest a suitable title: (3)


Clues: T.V. - Misunderstanding - influence on youngsters - advantages - other benefits.


Ans.


‘The Greater Influence of Television on Youngsters’


 The passage explains us about the merits and demerits of Television. It also emphasise on the powerful influence of T.V. on youngsters. Television’s use of the modern satellite technology made this entire world into a global village. It also sharpens our mind with the day to day current updates. Apart from education and entertainment,  The T.V. serves as medium of education as well as entertainment. Besides, helping us to learn subjects taught in schools, college in greater depth, it enables us to see and appreciate from close quarters the wonders of God’s creation in any part of the world. We do agree with the statement that many of our young people spend more time before their T.V. sets because of the following reasons.
Almost every home has a T.V. set. Almost full control on T.V. as well as on Remote control is there in the hand of children & young people. It relaxes us from various tiny things & routine work

Sub : Ban of plastic carry-bags and bottles.

Dear Sir,

    The use of plastic carry-bags by shopkeepers is one of the rise everywhere. Little do these people realise what a danger they pose to the environment.              Carry-bags filled with rubbish thrown into gutters and sewers result in problems of waterloging and flooding, especially during the rains. Animals chew the carry-bags from public waste bins and these clog their intestines and give them a very slow and painful death. Worse still, the shop owners use carry-bags of very low micron value. These are lethal, both for the environment as well as for the animals.
      It is my view that such bags should be banned altogether. Factories  producing such bags should be shut down altogether. Periodic raids should be conducted by government authorities concerned. Thus the problem will be nipped in the bud. Also heavy fines should be  imposed both on shopkeepers as well as customers who use such bags. Plastic is one of man's Worst inventions and should be banned altogether.

Thanking you 

                                                  Yours truly,

                                                       X.Y.Z.
