Q.9. Read the given passage & answer the questions that follow. (15)
The great advantage of early rising is the good start it gives us in our day’s work. The early riser has done a large amount of hard work before other men have got out of bed. In the early morning the mind is fresh and there are few sounds and distractions (i.e. troubles or disturbances) so that work at that time is generally well done. In many cases the early riser also finds time to take some exercise in the morning air and this exercise supplies him with a fund of energy that will last until the evening. By beginning so early he knows that he has plenty of time to do thoroughly all the work he can be expected to do. He gets his sleep several hours before midnight at the time when sleep is most refreshing and after a night’s sound rest rises early next morning in good health and spirits for the labour of a new day.
