A.1:-Passage I (12 Marks)
Get Physical while gaming
1. If playing video games makes kids less active & contributes obesity, why not create more video games that require activity? This question prompted Mayo Clinic researchers to scientifically measure the energy spent playing video games & examine options to make children hooked to electronic screens more active.
2. “ We know if children play video games that require movement, they burn more energy than they would while sitting & playing traditional screen games,” writes Loraine Lanningham-Foster, Mayo obesity researcher and study leader of U.S. “ The point is that children- very focused on screen games- can be made healthier if activity is a required part of the game.”
3. The results showed that sitting while watching television and playing traditional video games expended the same amount of energy. When participants played with the first activity – oriented video game, one that uses a camera to virtually “ place” them in the game where they catch balls and other objects, their energy expenditure tripled. The result was the same for the lean and mildly obese children.
4. While there is no published data for India, clinicians say an average school-age child in urban India spends over 4 hrs. a day-28 hrs. a week – in front of a screen and it’s impact is showing in the rising rates of obesity in urban children.
5. What can make a difference is keeping track of what children do .A study reported in the ‘Journal of Adolescence’ last year said that children whose parents limit the amount of time they could play.” It is for doctors and parents to advise children on choosing healthy habits such as limiting screen time, becoming more active & eating the right kind of food,” says nutritionist Ishi Khosla.
6. “Computers and games are great tools for education, but it is for parents to ensure that the tool does become more important than the subject being taught.” adds Nagpal.

A.2:-PASSAGE II Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow : 8
More years ago than I care to remember, I became a member of a very special kind of “pyramid club.” A teenager on summer break from high school in Ottawa, Canada, I got the urge to see more of my country. I hitchhiked, landing a few odd jobs along the way — picking apples or chopping firewood for a meal and permission to bed down in some farmer’s barn. Finally I ran out of money and jobs.
It was late in the evening when a very old car chugged up the road; it stopped when I thrust out my thumb. The driver was a middle-aged man in worn work clothes — a local farmer. When he came to where he was turning off, he put his hand in his pocket and pulled out a two-dollar note. “Here,” he said. “Take this.” Two dollars was a useful amount of money back then. A chocolate bar or a soft drink was about five cents; a hot dog, ten; a hamburger, 25. “No, thank you,” I protested. “I am fine.” “Take it,” he said. “It’s a loan. You can pay me back by giving two dollars to a young person a few years from now - when you have it and they don’t.”
I have never forgotten that man. Over the years, I have returned the loan many times over, periodically raising the amount to account for inflation. Each time I asked the recipient to pass it on to some other young person when he was able, along with instructions on how to pay it back. I wonder how many others have benefited from the unique pyramid club that farmer started, all those years ago, with two dollars.
