1 Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given below it :
[1×10=10]
Books are our best companions. They enrich our minds with knowledge and open the doors of imagination. Reading good books helps in developing our personality, improving our language, and broadening our outlook. Unlike friends, books never demand anything from us. They are always ready to share their wisdom and experience.
In this modern age of technology, many people have shifted from books to television and mobile phones. Although, these gadgets provide entertainment and information, they cannot replace the joy and depth of reading. Books have the power to transport us to different worlds, teach us valuable lessons and inspire us to achieve greatness.
Every student should cultivate the habit of reading daily. Even a few pages a day can make a big difference in one’s thoughts and behaviour. Reading good literature shapes our character and helps us understand life better.
