.2.Read the passage and answer the questions.
During our growing years, we, as children were taught--.both at home
and school ....to worship the photos and idols of the Gods of our
respective religions, when we grew a little older, we were to read holy
books like The Bhagwat Gita, Bible or Quran; we were told that there
are lots of life lessons to be learnt from these holy books. We were then
introduced to stories from our mythologies which taught us about ethics
and morality---what is good and what is bad. I also learnt to be
respectful towards my parents who made my life comfortable with their
hard work, love and care and my teachers who guided me to become a
good student and a responsible citizen.
Much later in life, I realized that though we learn much from our
respective holy books there is a lot to learn from our surroundings. This
realization dawned upon me when I learnt to enquire and explore.
Everything around us -the sun, the moon, the stars, rain, rivers, birds,
plants and animals—teach us many valuable life lessons.
No wonder that, besides the scriptures in many cultures, nature is also
worshipped. The message that we get is to save our environment and
maintain ecological balance. People are taught to live in harmony with
nature and recognize that there is God in all aspects of nature.
Nature is a great teacher. For instance, a river never stops flowing. If it
finds an obstacle in its way in the form of a heavy rock, the river, water
fights to remove it from its path or finds an alternative path to move a
head. This teaches us to be progressive in life and keep the fighting
spirit alive.
Snakes are worshipped as they eat insects in the field that can hurt our
crops, thus protecting the grains for us. In fact, whatever we worship is
our helper and makes our lives easy. There are many such examples in
nature, but we are not ready to learn the lessons. Overcome with greed,
we are destroying nature. As a result, we face natural disasters like
drought, flood and landslides because nature is angry with us. However,
it is never too late to learn. If we learn to respect nature, the quality of
our life will improve.A.Answer the questions briefly-
