12. Make notes on the following passage proceeding towards a summary in about 80-100

The great wall of china is said to be the one structure built on the earth by man on earth,
which could be visible to observe on the moon. It covers a distance of 1500 miles. From the
Liaotung Peninsula Westward to the last fortress in Central Asia, it crosses the northern
province of china.
The great Emperor Shih Huang Li joined these earlier frontier walls to form a great wall
to act as boundary between China & the north and keep out the feared nomads of The
Mangolian steppes. The wall was designed to strengthen the nation’s defences. Later it
became in Ming times, a substitute for a strong army and state.
Construction was started in about 221 B.C. and the structure was practically completed
when Shih Huang Li died in 210 B.C. The man who did most in carrying out the emperors
plans was general Meng Ledn who in 221 B.C. led an expedition against the Tartars and drove
them back from the Yellow River into the Steppes, and set his men to work on building the
wall. They were later joined by thousands of Convicts. Year in and year out in icy winds and
snow storms in winter, and in dust storms in summer, the work went on and so many men
died. The wall therefore was sometimes called the Longest Cemetery in the world. The core of
the wall is earth and stone, faced with bricks and set in a stone foundation. In hilly place the
design was altered; two parallel ditches were dug out of the rake, 25 feet apart and great
blocks of stone were laid in the benches to a height of several feet. Along each said of these
stones, baked bricks about 2 feet long were laid at right angles to the face of the wall, joined
together with a white mortal so hard that no nail could be driven in to it.
Emperor Wu Ti (140-86 B.C.) resumed work on the wall and extended it to its greatest
length The Emperors of the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1386-1644) carried out work on the wall
repairing its whole length and establishing new wall west of the yellow river. The wing
dynasty, which now exists dates from the Ming.
But many of the foundation are nearly 2000 years old

16. 14. Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:-
Once a famous tennis player was scheduled to play in a championship game withher most
formidable rival. At the last minute, she gave the excuse of not feeling well and refused to play.
Her reputation was ruined. Until the day of her death,she was regarded as a ‘poor sport’ afraid of
defeat. Why is such a high value put on good sportsmanship in the playing games? The games
themselves are not so important. No, but the traits a person shows in playing a game, reveal his
character and breeding. The qualities needed in games are the same needed for decent living,
fairness, honor, self control, willingness to abide by the rules, justtempered by restraint and
ability to win or lose with good spirit. If you cannot muster up any interest in a game, you had
better stay out of it. A half-hearted player who does not keep his mind on the game, is for ever
asking,
“Oh, is it my turn?” and plainly does not care how things turn out, and is an annoyance. The
ideal player plays for the fun of playing. He tries to win; yet he is not so eager that he jumps in
ahead of his turn or claims victory before the game is over.
On the basis of your reading of the passage, answer the questions briefly:
a) How was the reputation of the famous tennis player ruined?
b) How do games reveal a person’s character?
c) Which qualities of decent leaving are also needed in games?
d) Why should a disinterested player stay out of the game?
e) What is on the mind of the ideal player?
f) Find words from the passage that are similar in meaning to the following:
i)A person who tries to do better than others.
ii)An experience or event in which an opponent beats you up.
