प्रश्न 1भाषा

According to the teacher, why did few people visit the library at first?

Passage · Questions 1–5

When a small library opened in a village, its shelves filled quickly with donated books, but few readers came. The volunteers first assumed that people were not interested in reading. A teacher suggested a different explanation: the opening hours coincided with school lessons and farm work. The library therefore began opening in the evening. Older students read stories aloud to younger children, and adults discussed useful passages from farming manuals. A notebook recorded questions that readers could not answer, rather than the number of books they borrowed. Within two months, attendance improved. The library still had a modest collection, yet it had become a place where people could ask for help without embarrassment. Its success came less from adding books than from listening to readers and making the available books useful.

गद्यांश के अनुसार समस्या को समझने के लिए बच्चों ने सबसे पहले क्या किया?

गद्यांश · प्रश्न 9–13

गाँव के पुराने तालाब में कई वर्षों से वर्षा का पानी कम ठहरता था। गर्मी आते ही लोग इसकी चर्चा करते, पर वर्षा लौटने पर समस्या भुला दी जाती। इस बार विद्यालय के बच्चों ने अपने शिक्षक के साथ तालाब तक पहुँचने वाली छोटी नालियों का निरीक्षण किया। उन्हें पता चला कि कुछ रास्ते मिट्टी से बंद थे और कुछ पर कचरा जमा था। बच्चों ने नक्शा बनाया और ग्रामसभा में अपनी बात रखी। आरंभ में कुछ लोगों ने केवल तालाब को गहरा करने का सुझाव दिया। शिक्षक ने समझाया कि पानी आने के मार्ग ही बंद हों तो अकेली खुदाई पर्याप्त नहीं होगी। फिर किसानों, दुकानदारों और युवाओं ने मिलकर नालियों की सफाई की। तालाब के किनारे पौधे लगाए गए और कचरा डालने से रोकने के लिए बारी-बारी से निगरानी की व्यवस्था बनी। अगली वर्षा में अधिक पानी ठहरा। बच्चों ने इसे अपनी जीत बताने के बजाय साझा परिश्रम का परिणाम कहा। उन्होंने यह भी लिखा कि एक अच्छी योजना की पहचान उसके उद्घाटन से नहीं, नियमित देखभाल से होती है। गाँव ने सीखा कि स्थानीय अनुभव और व्यवस्थित निरीक्षण साथ आएँ तो सीमित साधनों से भी उपयोगी परिवर्तन संभव है।

At the beginning of the passage, the narrator mainly associates a successful repair with

Passage I — The Clockmaker’s Ledger

When I began my apprenticeship in Mr Das’s clock shop, I believed that a successful repair should leave an object looking new. I polished every visible surface and regarded scratches as evidence that somebody had not cared enough. One Friday, a woman brought in a small clock that had stopped. Across its white dial ran a faint blue line. I offered to replace the dial without charging her. She drew the clock towards herself. Her daughter, she explained, had made that mark with a crayon at the age of five. The daughter was now away at a teacher-training college. “Please repair the movement,” the woman said, “but leave that line alone.” After she left, I asked Mr Das why we kept objects imperfect. He opened a ledger. Beside measurements and dates were instructions in ordinary language: do not straighten this handle; keep the old glass; return the worn strap. “Which defect prevents this clock from working?” he asked. I pointed to a damaged wheel. “And which one have you merely decided to dislike?” I repaired the wheel and tested the clock for three days. It lost less than a minute. While putting the case together, however, I discovered that I had misplaced one screw. I wanted to borrow a similar screw from another repair and say nothing. Instead, I told Mr Das. He found the missing piece beneath my notebook and asked me to enter an additional check in the ledger. When the woman returned, she first looked for the blue line and then listened to the ticking. Both satisfied her. That evening I cleaned my bench more carefully than usual, but I did not polish the clock. I was beginning to understand that skill could make an object work, while judgement was needed to decide what should remain unchanged.

Passage I — The Clockmaker’s Ledger

When I began my apprenticeship in Mr Das’s clock shop, I believed that a successful repair should leave an object looking new. I polished every visible surface and regarded scratches as evidence that somebody had not cared enough. One Friday, a woman brought in a small clock that had stopped. Across its white dial ran a faint blue line. I offered to replace the dial without charging her. She drew the clock towards herself. Her daughter, she explained, had made that mark with a crayon at the age of five. The daughter was now away at a teacher-training college. “Please repair the movement,” the woman said, “but leave that line alone.” After she left, I asked Mr Das why we kept objects imperfect. He opened a ledger. Beside measurements and dates were instructions in ordinary language: do not straighten this handle; keep the old glass; return the worn strap. “Which defect prevents this clock from working?” he asked. I pointed to a damaged wheel. “And which one have you merely decided to dislike?” I repaired the wheel and tested the clock for three days. It lost less than a minute. While putting the case together, however, I discovered that I had misplaced one screw. I wanted to borrow a similar screw from another repair and say nothing. Instead, I told Mr Das. He found the missing piece beneath my notebook and asked me to enter an additional check in the ledger. When the woman returned, she first looked for the blue line and then listened to the ticking. Both satisfied her. That evening I cleaned my bench more carefully than usual, but I did not polish the clock. I was beginning to understand that skill could make an object work, while judgement was needed to decide what should remain unchanged.

Passage II — The Limits of a Map

A city council once displayed a colourful map showing what it called the safest walking route to a secondary school. The route avoided a busy road and looked reassuringly simple. Yet several pupils continued to take a different path. At a public meeting, one speaker concluded that children disliked following instructions. A teacher suggested a less convenient possibility: perhaps the map had left something out. With the council’s permission, a small group of pupils examined the recommended route during the afternoon. They found that a short section had no shade and that a delivery entrance sometimes forced walkers into the road. Neither detail appeared on the map. The council arranged a two-week trial of an alternative route. Pupils who chose to take part reported fewer uncomfortable encounters with vehicles. This was useful evidence, but it was not a verdict. The trial took place in mild weather, included only volunteers and coincided with the temporary closure of a nearby market. A permanent decision would need observations in other conditions and some comparison with pupils using the original route. Without those checks, the council might mistake a favourable fortnight for a reliable long-term pattern. The teacher therefore defended both the map and the complaints. The map organised information that no individual walker could easily collect alone. The complaints revealed experiences that its neat lines had concealed. Each corrected a limitation of the other. The pupils’ observations were entered as provisional notes rather than dismissed as untidy exceptions. A useful map reduces complexity; it cannot reproduce a journey. Its blank areas are not always empty places. Sometimes they are experiences nobody has yet thought to record. Recognising that difference does not require abandoning measurement. It requires asking what has been measured, under which conditions, and whose experience remains outside the frame.
