Q.1 Read the Passage and answer the question at the end20 Marks
Trees play an important role in our lives. They give fruits, flowers, medicine and shade to others and
when themselves stand in the sun and bear the scorching heat. They give free air which brings lots of
benefits if there were no trees in our life, then this whole place would have become barren.
The character of some good people in our life is also like a tree. What is the use of this mortal body if
it is not used for the benefit of mankind. The more the sandalwood girl is rubbed, the more the
fragrance enhances. Similarly virtuous people do not lose their virtues and serve others from the heart
regardless of their life. Does it matter whether they die in the moment or live a long life? No matter
what happens, the one who walks on the right path does not set foot on anyone else.
For one who does not live for others, life itself is unprofitable. Living just to live one's life is equivalent
to living the life of dogs and crows. Those who lay down their lives for the sake of others will surely
live in the world of bliss forever. Considering the importance and value of trees in our life, we should
respect trees to save life and environment.
