T11 - 2 T11 - 3 PAPER - B WRITTEN TEST PAPER FOR SELECTION OF TEACHERS : CSB 2013 ENGLISH(TGT) : SUBJECT CODE : T11 FOR QUESTIONS 1 TO 10 READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW: Eleanor Roosevelt was world-renowned, respected, and admired, and she made numerous meaningful and lasting contributions to human welfare. She earned the affection of millions through- out the world because of her humanitarian efforts on behalf of children, the oppressed, and the poor. As President Truman described her, she was the "First Lady of the World." Although faced by serious setbacks, she dedicated her entire life to others. When her husband Franklin Roosevelts political career appeared doomed by the debilitating effects of polio, she provided him with the encouragement that made him persevere until he eventually won the presidency of the United States. Mrs. Roosevelt showed an abiding concern for others both in her private and public life. At a time when it was still unpopular to take such advocacies, she taught at a school she had established for poor children, managed a factory for the jobless, and ardently campaigned for equal rights. When she became First Lady, Mrs. Roosevelt represented with great energy and outspokenness the needs of people suffering from the Great Depression. Indeed, a good number of her ideas were incorporated into her husbands New Deal social welfare program. With the outbreak of World War II, she spread out her engagements to the world stage, joining the United Nations to help establish UNICEF and come up with the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. She was later appointed chairperson of the Human Rights Commission and, at the age 61, was named a delegate to the first meeting of the General Assembly of the United Nations. Truly a paragon of greatness, Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "You get more joy out of giving to others, and should put a good deal of thought into the happiness you are able to give." 1.
