                Different people prefer different exercises to keep themselves fit. I rate walking as the best exercise for

everyone young or old. My preference for walking is based on a combination of several strong reasons. And as I grow older my preference is becoming stronger. Walking requires neither any special apparatus nor any training. It costs me nothing although my wife complains that my shoes wear much faster than hers and our children. As a walker I need not depend on a companion or a group of people to make my walk possible. I walk with or without company, I walk when it pleases me and as long as I may and nothing gives me greater satisfaction than a long walk after a day’s work.

05. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow in about 20 words. [2x 5= 10

Too much importance must not be attached to the wrong acts done by children particularly if they happen to be of a minor nature. Many boys and girls at a younger age are likely to be in the habit of stealing, neglecting their studies, slipping out of their classes or using bad language. In nearly every cases, the root cause of trouble is the fact that proper care of the child is not taken in the house or, sufficient interest is not shown in him. But if the parents were wise, they would correct the faults of their children by paying more attention to them. Whatever the case, one thing should never be done. The bad things in the children should never be repressed, that is, they should not be compelled to change for the better, under the fear of the rod. Physical punishment does not improve them. It only makes them worse than before.

Questions

(i) What do boys and girls at a young age do?

(ii) What is the root cause of their misbehaviour?

(iii) What is the duty of a wise parent?

(iv)Why should not a rod be used to make the children better?

(v) What is the one thing that should never be done?
