Read the passage given below.During our growing up years we as children were taught - both at home and school - toworship the photo and idols of the Gods of our respective religions. When we grew a littleolder, we were to read holy books like the Bhagwad Gita, Bible and Quran; we were told thatthere are a lot of life lessons to be learnt from these holy books. We were then introduced tostories from our mythologies which taught us about ethics and morality- what is good andwhat is bad. I also learnt to be respectful towards my parents who made my life comfortablewith their hard work and love and care, and my teachers who guided me to become a goodstudent and a responsible citizen. Much later in life, I realised that though we learn muchfrom our respective holy books, there is a lot to learn from our surroundings. This realizationdawned upon me when I learnt to enquire and explore. Everything around us- the sun, themoon, the stars, rain, rivers, stones, rocks, birds, plants and animals teach us many valuablelife lessons. No wonder that besides the scriptures, in many cultures nature is alsoworshipped. The message that we get is to save our environment and maintain ecologicalbalance. People are taught to live in harmony with nature and recognize that there is God inall aspects of nature. Nature is a great teacher. A river never stops flowing. If it finds anobstacle in its way in the form of a heavy rock, the river water fights to remove it from itspath or finds an alternative path to move ahead. This teaches us to be progressive in life, andkeep the fighting spirit alive. Snakes are worshipped as they eat insects in the field that canhurt our crops, thus protecting the grains for us. In fact, whatever we worship is our helperand makes our lives easy for us. There are many such examples in nature, but we are notready to learn a lesson. Overcome with greed, we are destroying nature. As a result, we facenatural disasters like droughts, floods and landslides. We don’t know that nature is angry withus. However, it is never too late to learn. If we learn to respect nature, the quality of our lifewill improve.On the basis of your understanding of the passage, answer the following questions.(1X10=10)i) We are told to worship photos and idols of Gods during our _________.a.
