44.Write a summary or make notes of the following passage :
One of the most widely spread of bad habits is the use of tobacco. Tobacco is now
used in every part of the world by millions of people. Tobacco is now smoked or
chewed by men and large of women also, and sometimes even by children, in all parts
of the world. It was brought into Europe by Sir Walter Raleigh from America in the
16th century. When he went to America, he named the area which he claimed for
Queen Elizabeth as Virginia. Even today the best tobacco is called Virginia tobacco.
But the use of even the best tobacco is considered to be one of the worst habits. It does
not seem to be anything good about the use of tobacco even in small quantities. When
it is used in excess, it is most harmful to the human system. Smoking tobacco has
produced cancer of the lungs and chewing of tobacco has resulted in cancer of mouth
and throat. This is the definite opinion of doctors who have examined thousands of
such cases of cancer. However much the warning is given that smoking is dangerous
to health, people seem to continue to smoke. Actually more and more people are using
tobacco either in the form of cigars, cigarettes or beedies or as pipe tobacco or even
chewing tobacco. This is a very bad habit and it is extremely difficult, if not impossible,
to get rid of this habit once it is formed.

Read the following passage and answer in your own words.
The term weathering refers to all the ways in which rocks can be broken down.
It takes place because minerals formed in a particular way (say at high temperature, in
case of igneous rocks) are often unstable when exposed to various conditions.
Weathering involves the interaction of lithosphere (the Earth’s crust) with the atmosphere
and hydrosphere (air and water), depending on the climatic and environmental
conditions. But all kinds of weathering ultimately produce broken minerals and rock
fragments and other products of the decomposition of stones. Soil is the most obvious,
and from the human point of view, the most important result of the weathering process.
Soil is the weathered part of the Earth’s crust that is capable of sustaining plant life.
The character of soil depends on the nature of rock from which it is formed. It also
depends on the climate and on the relative age of the soil. Immature soil is finer than
broken rock fragments. Over time, immature soil develops into mature soil, which
contains humus, formed from decayed plant matter. Mature soil is darker, richer in
microscopic life and more conducive to plant growth.
Questions :
(a)Explain ‘weathering’ in a sentence.
(b)What is the obvious and important result of the weathering process ?
(c)The character of soil depends on _ and _.
(d)Name the items that influence the interaction during weathering.
(e)Write any two qualities of mature soil.
