.1. Read the passage given and
answer the following:-
“Prevention of diabetes will reduce the risk of cancer” says
the experts. For long diabetes has been
associated with complications such as vision loss, kidney problems, heart
attack and stroke.But concologists and
diabetologists show how increased levels
of sugar can also cause cancer. France and Germany have banned the use of
pioglitazone for treatment of diabetics as it is associated with bladder
cancer.People with diabetes often have problems related to urinary tract
infection due to sugar retention in the bladder.
Clinical studies are done to show how the two diseases are
inter-linked. Studies show that women are at higher risk than men.5 lakh people
of between 50- 71 fall a prey to cancer of uterus and breast.Diabetes patients
have lower tolerance to cancer drugs such as chemotheraphy and steroid drugs.
The infection rates are higher and curing
or healing process is also slower.
Cancer specialists say that both diabetes and cancer patients have
common risk factors such as obesity, insulin resistance and high cholesterol
levels.Diabetologists Dr. V. Mohan and Dr. Ramachandran sais that they neeed to
find how many Indians (who are also sugar patients) are susceptible to cancer.

2. Read the poem on DAFFODILS by
William Wordsworth and answer the following:-
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed--and gazed--but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:

Integration and answer the questions that folow
India is a land of various races;
various religious and various languages. Still then, the Indians developed into
one nation by the influence of common territory, common history and common
fight for freedom against the foreign rule.
But when
India came under the British, the English ruler followed the policy of Divide
and Rule in order to perpetuate their authority over India. Consequently the
racial, the religious and the linguistic groups in the Indian nation
first began to disintegrate emotionally and psychologically and then
desired to disintegrate territorially. This resulted into division of India
into Bharat and Pakistan. India the integrity of the Indian nation is awfully
threatened as the communal quarrels are fanned by the hostile neighbours of
India. Hence, the necessity of strong national Integration in India has become
so urgent at present.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:-
It's tough to make a poor decision
when it comes to fruits and vegetables. However, there are selections that are
better than others are. For instance, a spinach salad is a much better
selection than a plate of mashed potatoes or even a plain cooked potato. That's
because the spinach contains more nutrients and fewer calories. Here's a list
of the healthiest fruits and vegetables from which to select. Include at least
one with every meal, eat it first to help reduce hunger pangs and you'll be fit
in no time. Red Bell Peppers: The bright color of the vegetable tells
you it's a powerful antioxidant and cancer fighter. If you've given up
processed sugar products, you'll find the sweet flavor of the pepper is almost
a dessert. Red bell peppers are not only cancer fighters;
they're great for heart health too. A cup of chopped pepper is only 46 calories
yet contains 317 percent of the daily vitamin C requirement and 93 percent of
the daily vitamin A requirement.Broccoli: You can lower your risk of
colon, breast, bladder, gastric, prostrate and pancreatic cancer if you eat broccoli
regularly. If you're diabetic it reduces the damage diabetes may cause. One cup
contains only 31 calories but supplies a great deal of plant protein, vitamin
C, vitamin E, thiamin, pantothenic acid, calcium,
riboflavin, selenium, phosphorus, iron, magnesium and fiber.Spinach:
Popeye had the right idea when it came to spinach. With only 7 calories for one
cup, it's a dieter's delight. It is a great source of niacin, iron, zinc and dietary fiber. It also contains a high
amount of plant protein, vitamins A, C, E and K, thiamin, riboflavin, B6, calcium
magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, manganese and copper. If you eat spinach on a
regular basis, you'll help protect your body from the risk of colon, liver,
prostate and ovarian cancer besides aiding in mental alertness. Tomatoes:
These plump juicy love apples were once thought toxic. They aren't but their
leaves and stems are. Tomatoes are great anti-inflammatory fruits
(scientifically speaking but classed as a vegetable in all other ways). They
lower your risk of cancer and heart disease.One medium whole tomato only
contains 22 calories but contains a high amount of vitamin A and C. Tomatoes
also contain Vitamin E, B6 and K, niacin, thiamin, magnesium, phosphorus,
potassium, manganese and is a good source of fiber. Unlike many fruits and
vegetables, the healing power of the tomato increases when you cook it.Other
vegetables that make the list include arugula, asparagus, avocado, artichoke,
butternut squash(which also aids night vision and fights wrinkles),
cauliflower, carrot, cabbage, kale, pumpkin and sweet potato.
