Question 1:
Read the given extract and answer the questions that follow.
Untouchable, a charming French comedy about two friends who have almost nothing in common, has been a huge international success. But before the story became a cinematic sensation, how exactly did a rich French aristocrat and an Algerian immigrant with a criminal past become good friends? Philip and Abdul first met in Paris in 1993 when Philip was looking for a nurse. He was from a very wealthy family. At one time he had been a successful business man, living a life of great luxury. Then he had a terrible paragliding accident and lost the use of his arms and legs. Life in a wheelchair was lonely and boring. Philip was struggling to imaging the future, and he needed practical help with his day-to- day life.
Philip interviewed more than 80 people for the job of a nurse. But none of them seemed right. Then he met Abdul, who had quit a life of crime in Algeria and moved to France to look for work. He was lively, intelligent and quick-thinking, with a crazy sense of humor. Philip got on With
Abdul immediately, and he offered him the job. The two men didn't have much in common. Abdul loved pop music, but Philip preferred classical music. Philip loved modern art, but Abdul hated it. Philip's family was sure that he had made a bad choice. They believed that Philip needed someone much more sensible. Meanwhile, Abdul wasn't planning on staying in the job for long.
However, their working relationship quickly developed into a close friendship. Abdul gave Philip the support he needed. More importantly, his energy and sense of humor brought fun and excitement back into Philip's life. Abdul helped Philip make trips to other countries. Both of them now live in different countries, each with a wife and family. They keep in touch regularly. All that really matters to their friendship, though, it is their shared love of laughter and adventure.

Question 4:
Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.
1. We were walking across the garden when my daughter spotted a cluster of familiar red flowers. She pulled me to one side and then, looking excitedly at me as though she had a secret to share, she pulled me down to her height and whispered in my ears. I shot up straight almost as soon as she had finished her sentence. With my mouth ajar, I was about to tell her that it was probably not a good idea to do when I was transported to the time when I was around her age.
2. It had been a rather long day from school and I was dead tired. I was walking along the pathway that was lined with many ixora plants when my friend grabbed me by the arm. Before I could do anything, he gleefully plucked a single flower from the cluster and showed it to me. Unimpressed, I was not about to be swayed by a puny flower and was about to admonish him when he turned the flower upside down to show me a tiny almost invisible thread-like thing that protruded out from its stalk.
3. He pulled the faint yellowish thread and right at the end of it, a tiny drop of nectar appeared. At least, that was what I think it was, as it was really quite sweet. That day we raided the ixora plants. We really had a lot of fun. I could still taste the sweetness till today. My daughter's urgent tug brought me back to reality. I turned to my daughter and decided that she too needed to know the joy of tasting sweet nectar from beautiful blooms.

कहते हैं मनुष्य ने नौ से दस हज़ार साल पहले बौद्धिक दृष्टिकोण की खोज की थी। वह भक्ति मार्ग था । मानव इतिहास के इस दौर के लोग सबसे बुद्धिमान थे। मैंने पहले ही कहा है कि आध्यात्मिक दुनिया का महत्व बहुत अधिक है । फिर भी सापेक्ष दुनिया पूरी तरह से महत्त्वहीन नहीं है । जब सुदूर अतीत में मनुष्यों ने महसूस किया कि कर्म योग और ज्ञान योग उन्हें सच्ची प्रगति प्राप्त करने में मंदद नहीं करेंगे, तो उन्होंने तुंरत भक्ति योग को अपना लिया ।
उन्होंने अनुभव किया कि भक्ति ही उनके लिए एकमात्र मार्ग है । मनुष्य आज अपने विकसित कर्म और ज्ञान योग के कारण और भी आगे बढ़ गया है। इस प्रकार अपने पूर्वजों की तुलना में वह भक्ति के मार्ग पर चलने की आवश्यकता को अधिक तेज़ी से महसूस करेगा। यह कर्म और ज्ञान योग का उज्ज्वल पक्ष है। यानी ये दोनों योग भक्ति मार्ग को और मज़बूत करेंगे।
