Directions (Q. 16-30): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words/phrases are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.
Nature is an infinite source of beauty. Sun-rise and sun-set, mountains and rivers, lakes and glaciers, forests and fields provide joy and bliss to the human mind and heart for hours together. Everything in nature is splendid and divine. Every day and every season of the year has a peculiar beauty to unfold. Only one should have eyes to behold it and a heart to feel it like the English poet Wordsworth who after seeing daffodils said - "And then my heart with pleasure fills and dances with the daffodils."
Nature is a great teacher. The early man was thrilled with beauty and wonders of nature. The Aryans worshiped nature. One can learn the lessons in the vast school of nature.
Unfortunately the strife, the stress and the tension of modern life have made people immune to beauties of nature. Their life is so full of care that they have no time stand and stare. They cannot enjoy the beauty of flowing rivers, swinging trees, flying birds and majestic mountains and hills. There is, however, a cry to go back to village from the concrete and artificial jungle of cities. Hence the town planners of today pay special attenti-on to provide enough number of natural scenic spots in town plann-ing. To develop a balanced person-ality, one needs to have a healthy atti-tude which can make us appreciate and enjoy the beauty of nature.
There is no other balm to soothe our tired soul and listless mind than the infinite nature all around us. We should enjoy it fully to lead a balanced and harmonious life, full of peace and tranquility.
