Or

Read the following passage carefully and write its summary in about sixty words.

                Many hundred years ago each man built his own house and made what furniture he needed , and grew all his own food, and his wife made all the clothes for the family. But men very soon found that it was much better to divide the work among them, so that one built houses, another made chairs and tables and another grew corn and so on. You can easily see that this was a better plan because by always doing the same kind of work you can do it far more quickly and easily. Practice makes a man perfect. So now -a- days all work is divided up as much as possible . Not so very long ago, before machine was invented, even such a tiny thing as a pin was not made by one man, but by a dozen or more, each doing his particular bit of work. One straightened out the wire, another cut it into lengths, another sharpen the point another put the head on etc. This is division of labour .

05.Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow each in a sentence or two.        [2x5=10

                When Vishu Maharana left for the work of building the Konark Temple , his wife remained at home. Shortly after she gave birth to a son. She named him Dharmapada and affectionately called him Dharama. She took great care of her only child. The boy gew up in body & mind. From the very early days he showed interest in carving stones like his father. At school he learnt how to read and write within a short time. Then he started studying the books of his father which were written on palm leaves. From those books he studied the science of constructing temples. It was very interesting to him.

                But Dharama was sad for one thing- he had not seen his father. He had heard from his mother all about him. He was proud of his father, who was constructing the great sun temple at Konark and was eager to see him. He was equally eager to see the great temple too.
