Question

Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:- (1x10=10)

Physical health affects the mind and vice-versa. Which of the two is the more important is

like asking the age-old question: what comes first, the chicken or the egg. For our present

subject, let us be clear that a sound mind in a sound body is prerequisites for high efficiency

and good quality work in the office, factory or field, which lead to a sense of achievement

and fulfillment.

Our health is, of course, important not only to us but also to our families and even to our

employers. No wonder then those companies everywhere have a stake in the health and

fitness of their employees and are willing to spend considerable money towards this

purpose. Japanese companies particularly excel in this and the more successful among

them start off the day with a body bending and stretching session and even singing the

company song designed to promote loyalty and motivation among the workforce! This is

considered an important factor contributing to high productivity and quality. Here is a

lesson which has been emulated elsewhere in the world and could work wonders in India.

It is estimated that some 20,000 American firms have established in-house health clubs.

Typical of these is the soft drink manufacturer. Pepsi, Cola has spent about $2 million in

setting up a health club at its head office in New York State. Such expenditure has proved to

be a wise investment in achieving better efficiency and higher productivity. It has,

indirectly, also helped reduce the premium on the health insurance of its staff. This

business has grown so large that hundreds of consultancies have sprung up for the

management of health clubs and fitness centers. In some cases, there is a nominal

contribution by the employees on the premise that they will value and use the facilities all

the more. Some insurance companies have teamed up with employers in such ventures as

better health contributes to a longer life and hence more premium! Though many firms in

India have generous medical schemes, the movement towards health clubs and the like isyet to gain momentum. Answer the following questions briefly:

i. What are prerequisites for high effect and good quality work?

ii. How do Japanese companies ensure loyalty and motivation?

iii. What do you mean by ‘wise investment’?

iv. Why do companies have health clubs?

v. What does it mean by saying that “the idea of having health clubs in companies is yet to

gain momentum?

vi. Japanese companies are particularly excellent in which thing?

vii. Why do companies take care of their employees’ health?

viii. What is directly affected by physical health?

ix. Identify the synonym of 'spending' from the passage.

x. Give a suitable title to the passage.
