SECTION-A

A1. Read the given passage and answer the questions: 

Too much importance must not be attached to the wrong acts alone by children,

particularly if they happen to be of a minor nature. Many boys and girls at a younger age are likely to be in the habit of stealing, neglecting their studies, slipping out of their classes, and using bad language. In nearly every case the root cause of the trouble is the fact that proper care of the child is not taken in the house, or sufficient interests not shown in him/her. But if the parents were wise, they would correct the faults of their children by paying more attention to them. Whatever the case one thing should never be done. The bad things in the children should never be repressed, that is, they should not be compelled to change for the better under fear of the rod. Physical punishment does not improve them. It only makes them worse than before. Children can make distinction between the good and the bad. For good living, healthy life and future security, the children should obey and co-operate with the parents, elders at home, and the teachers in school.
