Q1.Read the passage and answer the questions that follow : (5x1=5m)
Trees are of importance not only to man but also to birds and animals. The branches of trees give
shelter to millions of birds ,and forest give shelter to numerous wild animals. We value trees not
only for their usefulness but also for their beauty. They have a way to refreshing the eye and also
refreshing the mind. Perhaps that is why the rishies of olden days were drawn to the forests, and they
and their people chose to goto forest homes in company of Nature. In modern times when
Rabindranath Tagore started a school, he too chose a place full of trees and called it Shanti
Niketcrn or the home of peace.
Once upon a time large areas of India were covered with forests full of numerous kinds of trees. As
the population grew, trees began to be cut down for mans use. That is how the wonderful forest
described in our ancient poems came to be destroyed, and a great part of our forest wealth was lost.
Now we are trying to replace this loss, and our government wants trees to be planted all over the
country. A new festival called ‘Van Mahotsava’ has been started for this purpose. Since trees are the
country’s wealth we must consider it our sacred duty to protect them. We should plant new trees
wherever we can and look after them well.
