Question

I. Read the passage and answer the questions given below. 10

Be like a flower. One must try to become like a flower: open, frank, equal, generous and kind. So you know

what it means? A flower is open to all that surrounds it: nature, light, the rays of the sun, the wind etc. It

exerts a spontaneous influence on all that is around it. It radiates joy and beauty. It is frank. It hides nothing

of its beauty and lets its fragrance flow frankly out of itself. What is within and what is in its depths, it lets it

come out so that everyone can see it. It is equal: it has no preferences.

Everyone can enjoy its beauty and its perfume without rivalry. It is equal and the same for everybody. There

is no difference, or anything whatsoever. Then generous without reserve or restriction, it gives away the

mysterious beauty and the very own perfume of Nature. It sacrifices itself entirely for our pleasure, even its

life it sacrifices to express this beauty and the secret of the things gathered within itself. And then, kind: it

has such a tenderness, it is so sweet, so close to us, so loving. Its presence fills us with joy. It is always

cheerful and happy. Happy is he who can exchange his qualities with the real qualities of the flowers. Try to

cultivate in yourself their refined qualities.
