AMRIT INDO CANADIAN ACADEMY

CLASS VIII

SUBJECT = ENGLISH M.M. 50

Section-A (Reading) 10m

Ques. Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions.

PROTECT HERITAGE TREES IN CIVILIZATION INTEREST

1. Trees are the best friends of man, for they provide him protection from the harshness of

nature, be it rains or sunlight. Trees have their historic, scientific, medical and religious uses.

When an apple fell on Isaac Newton‟s head, it led to the discovery of the theory of

gravitation, helping invention of aircraft. Over two millennia ago, Buddha attained

enlightenment under the Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya. A descendant of the same tree at the same

spot attracts millions of pilgrims and tourists every year.

2. Not only do trees protect us they also beautify the place where they are located. A canopy of

green trees is so refreshing to the eyes. The green colour lifts our mood and we feel fresh and

energized. Walking in the morning with trees by the side of the road is the best thing we can

ask for in concrete jungles where we live. The fresh air from the Neem tree is supposed to be

very rich in oxygen. Trees such as the Peepal give shade and in the past weary travellers

would take rest under its shade. These trees whose fruits are relished and eaten by all such as

the Mango, Apple and many others. The roots of the trees hold the soil together and prevent

soil erosion. Whenever we cut a tree we should plant two. Only when we make such resolves,

we can protect the tree cover around us.

3. The Forest Research Institute at Dehradun, which has a unique museum of trees, was

instrumental in preserving the Bodhi tree at Bodh Gaya. Its expertise also helped in

preserving another ancient tree in the precincts of the Sai Baba temple at Sirdi in

Maharashtra. It was, perhaps, these achievements that fetched the Institute and the

Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) the contract to save 131 trees in the 800-year-old

Taprohm temple in Cambodia, known for the trees that surround it. The ASI had earlier done

a good restoration job in the Angkor Wat temple complex in Cambodia. A tree, believed to be

as old as the Golden Temple at Amritsar and situated close to its sanctum sanctorum and

another one at Ochira in Kerala under which „Parabrahmam‟ is believed to be situated are

called heritage trees.

4. Similarly, the Botanical Garden in Kolkata has one of the oldest and largest banyan trees in

India. It also has a unique palm tree that gave its first crop at the age of 120. Such trees are

part of the environmental heritage of the country and need to be protected from hazards,

natural or otherwise. It is in this contest that the Indian National Trust for Art and Cultural

Heritage‟s (INTACH) plan to catalogue and preserve all heritage trees needs to be welcomed.

The programme will give a boost to environmental tourism and increase our understanding of

the role trees played in the evolution of civilization.

i) Answer the following questions in brief.

a) Mention two ways in which trees are useful to man?

b) Why is the Bodhi tree famous even today?

c) How did ASI and Forest Research Institute manage to get the contract of saving trees in

Cambodia?
