*	Translate the following paragraph into Urdu.
1	Sometimes, I have thought that it would be an excellent rule to live each day as if we would die tomorrow. Such an attitude would emphasize sharply the values of life. We should live each day with gentleness, vigor and a keenness for appreciation which is often lost when time stretches before us in the constant panorama of more days and months and years to come. There are those, of course, who would adopt the epicurean mutton of “eat, drink and be merry” but most people would be chastened by the certainty of impending death.
2	In stories, the doomed hero is usually saved at the last minute by some stroke of fortune, but almost always his sense of values is changed. He becomes more appreciative of the meaning of life and its permanent spiritual values. It has often been noted that those who live, or have lived, in the shadow of death bring a mellow sweetness to everything they do.
3	The next-day the second day of sight. I should arise with the dawn and see the thrilling miracle by which night is transformed into day. I should behold with awe the magnificent panorama of life with which the sun awakens the sleeping earth.
4	This day I should devote to a hasty glimpse of the world, past and present. I should want to see the pageant of man’s progress, the kaleidoscopic of the ages. How can so much be compressed into one day? Through the museums, of course.
5	The following morning, I should greet the dawn, anxious to discover new delights, for I am sure that, for those who have eyes which really see, the dawn of each day must be perfectly new revelation of beauty. This according to the terms of my miracle is to be my third and last day of sight.
6	How was it possible, I asked myself, to walk for an hour in the woods and see nothing worthy of note? I who cannot see can find hundreds of things to interest me through mere touch. I feel the delicate symmetry of a leaf. I pass my hands lovingly about the smooth skin of a silver birch.
7	If I were the president of a university, I should establish a compulsory course in “How to use your eyes”. The professor would try to show his pupils how they could add joy to their lives by really seeing what passes unnoticed before them. He would try to awaken their dormant and sluggish faculties.

*	Answer the questions from the following passages.
24	A professional player is quite different from an amateur. His main aim is to make money. He plays the game to earn money or to win a name. On the other hand, the amateur player has no such aim. He plays because he gets pleasure in playing. Games not only give him recreation but also physical exercise. He enjoys good health and sound physique. He plays the game as he should. He observes all the rules and regulations of games. The amateur player plays honestly. He becomes a disciplined gentleman and a responsible citizen. He accepts defeat but does not resort to cheating or other unfair means to win. If he wins a game, he feels happy but he is not sad at losing one.
	Questions:
	1. What is meant by professional player?		2. With what aim does he play games?

25	The camel is rightly called the “Ship of the desert”. It is the best means of transport in deserts. Camels go slow. But they go on walking for hours on the burning sand and in the blazing sun. Camels carry heavy loads, much heavier in weight than any other beast of burden can. While the other animal’s feet sink into the sand, but nature has made the feet of camel such that it is not at all difficult for it to walk on sand. The camel is superior to all other animals because it can go without food and drink for days and weeks. It can store food and water. Its hump is also a store of food which the camels use when they get nothing to eat and drink for many days. In deserts, only bushes grow here and there and the camels can live on these.
	Questions:
	1. Why is camel called the “ship of the desert”?		2. Is it for its speed that it is called the ship of desert?
	3. What difficulty do the other beasts of burden have to face while walking on the sand?
	4. Why does a camel walk easily on the loose sand of the desert?
	5. What special quality makes the camel superior to the other animals used for transport?
	6. How does the camel go without food and water for days and weeks?
	7. What does the camel generally live on?
