Section A (Reading)
1.Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Science: Teaching & Learning
1. The pioneers of the teaching of science imagined that its introduction into education would remove the conventionality. artificiality and backward lookingness which were characteristic of classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in their time had the humanists thought that the study of the classical authors in the original would banish at once the dull pedantry and superstition of medieval scholasticism. The professional schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost managed to make the understanding of chemical reactions as dull and as dogmatic an affair as the reading of Virgil's Aeneid.
2. The chief claim for the use of science in education is that it teaches a child something about the actual universe in which he is living, in making him acquainted with the results of scientific discovery, and at the same time, teaches him how to think logically and inductively by studying the scientific method. A certain limited success has been reached in the first of these aims, but practically none at all in the second. Those privileged members of the community who have been through a secondary or public school education may be expected to know something about the elementary physics and chemistry of a hundred years ago, but they probably know hardly more than what any bright boy can pick up from an interest in wireless or scientific hobbies out of school hours.
3. As to the learning of scientific method, the whole thing is palpably a farce. Actually, for the convenience of teachers and the requirements of the examination system, it is necessary that the pupils do not learn scientific method, but learn precisely the reverse, that is, to believe exactly what they are told and to reproduce it when asked, whether it seems nonsense to them or not.
4. The way in which educated people respond to such quackeries as spiritualism or astrology shows that fifty years of education in the method of science in Britain or Germany has produced no visible effect whatsoever. The only way of learning the method of science is the long and bitter way of personal experience and, until the educational or social systems are altered to make this possible, the best we can expect is the production of a minority of people who are able to acquire some of the techniques of science and a still smaller minority who are able to use and develop them.
Questions
(i) What has been the major contribution of the professional schoolmaster', mentioned in the first paragraph, to the teaching of science? (3)
(ii) What is the best possible way of learning the method of science? (3)
(iii) What can be concluded from the passage? (3)
(iv) If the author were to see how science education has changed from when he wrote this passage more than 70 years ago, he would be most interested in an answer to what kind of question?(3)
(v) The word ........... in para 1 is the synonym of 'starters'.(1)
(vi) The word ...... in para 2 is the antonym of 'liable'. (1)
(vii) Which word in para 4 means the same as 'pretensions to knowledge or experience'?
Or
1. All of us do some kind of work to ward off starvation or to gain sufficient material wealth with a view to maintaining the standard of living which our physical and intellectual power have helped us to reach. But there is another kind of work which is completely divorced from the burdensome process of our livelihood and which is undertaken for the sake of amusement or interest or the direction of our surplus stores of energy in some new and useful channels of refined tastes. This delightful occupation, combining work with pleasure, as it is properly termed, calls for the application of our highest faculties and gives proper form to our healthy instincts, purposeful habits and disciplined behaviour. Hobbies widen the sphere of our cultural activities, give refinement to our tastes and show us the path that leads to our systematic mental and moral development. Our tendencies and inclinations also find in them an outlet for a healthy and progressive expression.
2. A hobby is a favourite subject or occupation that is not one's main business. This age of machinery, which has taken upon itself most of the laborious. duties of physical exertion formerly performed by man, has created for him pleasant intervals of rest and leisure. Thus, it should not be difficult for him to devote some time to the pursuit of a new interest that can add some charm, colour or zest to his life. The spare time must not be spent on work which overtaxes his mind and body. The occupation banishes the drabness of routine work and produces a feeling that life is both charming and meaningful.
3. The choice of hobbies, like the choice of books for purposes of reading, is not an easy task. Some hobbies demand a little guidance from experienced persons. Our sudden attachment to them without the backing of this preliminary knowledge may result in wastage of our resources of time and money, and in the end compel us to abandon them. Some hobbies are rather expensive, and therefore beyond the means of ordinary people who can ill-afford to spend a large sum of money on them. We must not, therefore, allow the glamour of certain hobbies to blind us to their reality, howsoever tempting they may appear to us, nor should we begin to cherish them thoughtlessly because we find other people so devotedly attached to them.

(i) What is a hobby?(3)
(ii) Differentiate between a person's main work and a hobby.(3)
(iii) How can a hobby help us?(3)
(iv) Why is choice of hobbies considered to be a difficult task? (3)
(v) The word ……. in para 1 is the synonym of 'propensities'.(1)
(vi) The word …… in para 2 is the antonym of 'apathy'.(1)
(vii) Which word means the same as 'preliminary' in para 3?
