2. Read the given text and interpret its meaning.
Computers have solved many problems for us, but they create some problems too. Say, for example,
that you are writing a novel. After you are done with your first draft you decide to change your
heroine's name from Linda to Lydia. With a typewriter you would have to retype every page
containing the heroine's name, With word processing software, on a computer, you press just a few
keys and the computer takes care of all the work. But technology hasn't solved all our problems.
While many of Shakespeare's original documents survive, it takes only misplaced keystrokes to wipe
out your next masterpiece.

3. Read the following passage carefully, make notes and write a summary of it. [5+5]
The dearth of natural resources on the Australian continent is a problem with which government
officials there have long struggled. As long distance travel has become ever more important to the
national economy. Tourism represents more than 10 percent of national export earnings annually,
and in less developed regions such as the Western Territory, the percentage is much highe (.

Unfortunately, this otherwise rosy prospect has one significant cloud on the horizon" ln recent years,
there has been a move towards returning some of the land to the Aboriginal people. As Western
society and culture have flourished on Australian soil, tribal people have been forced ever farther
inland in an attempt to maintain their traditional ways of living, a desire that the government has
striven to respect.

One of the central beliefs of the Aboriginal religion is that certain naturalformations have spiritual
significance and must be treated accordingly. Strict guidelines determine who may visit.these sites
and at what times. Unfortunately, many of these sites are the very natural wonders tourists flock ts
see, lf non-Aboriginal people are forbidden to visit these natural wonders, L1rany may choose not to
vacation in a region that sorely needs the income generated by tourism.

The Australian government has dealt with this dilemma thus far by trying to support both sides. The
Aboriginal council is still trying to put an end to such use of certain sites, however, and it rem.ains to
be seen whether respect for tradition or economic desires will ultimately triumph.

3. Read the tbllowing passage carefully, malie notes and u'rite a swnmaxy' [5+5]

Although religion dges not inhibit the acquisition ol rvealth, although is does not hold
tlp
large fJrtunes"as evil, the tenor of its teaching, by and large, is to induce an attitude of
indifference to worldly things, things which gratify one's lower self a-nd keep one
goods of
engrossed in money-mut ing. ihe students should be made to realize that the real
lifJ are spiritual, love of things of the spirit and service of one's fellowmen. joy of an
ordered disciplined lit'e. Thesi are blessings money carnot buy. What is rvealth beiore
such things of the spirit? Of all reiigious teachers Jesus Christ has dealt more
compreheisively than any other with the problem of wealth in all its aspects. He may be
called the greatest exponlnt of the science of ivealth. With only four words "Blessed are
ye poor!,, Ir* charrg"i altogether the values *hich man attached to human existence and
iru*u1 happiness and acquisition anrl possession of wealth. Real bliss consisted, he
taught, ,roi-in riches nor in anything else which the world regarded as prc,speritv or
telicity, but in the jrry and happiness derived from being at peace rvith one's fellornrynen
through perfect love and fellowship and selfless service and sacrifice.
'Ihe,*'ord "poor" on the lips of the Master had a spiritual significance - the poor so far as
rhey were poor in spirit, humble before God, simple, God-t'earing, teachable, faithfirl- It
could surely not harle been his intention to hold up destitution and privation as a blessing
in itself. That wouiri have turned iile into a tcrrible ordeal and it would ilave been
heartless to exhorr tite poor to believe lhat money was not nccessary for one's sr.lsienance
or the joys and blessings of life. Even things of the spirit cannot be had withor.it money.
 Extreme povertY is as iiable to lead to the stagnilion and impoverislunent of the soul as
excessive rvealth. Not or-rtward poverty but inrvard spirit was w'hat Jesus Christ desired
aud demanded. Every rciigion asks a man to regard his wealth as a trust. Giving in charity
for the relief of the poor and public wellare is not merely an act of compission, not
merell'' a religious duty, but also an act of sociai justice. All the gospels oi wealth are
based on the fundamental concept that none can claim an absolute oi inherent righr to
propertv. Every'one hoicls it in trust from God to promote the good mankind. All rights to
private property are subject to this primary obligation to God and man.

2. Read the following text carefully and interpret it so as to make the meaning clear. t5]
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
comrnunication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the forrn of
oral speech. When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign
language in which motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the
mute have had to resort to this form of expression. Many of these symbols of whole words
are very picturesque and exact and can be used internationally; spelling,'however, cannot.

To solve the mbst urgent health problems of developing countriei, expert have recommended tlrit

-i. Read the foliorving pa-ssage carefully,_ make notes and write a summary of it. [5+5]
According to usage and ccnventions which are at iast being questicned but have by no means been
overcome, the social presence of a womarr is different in kind from that of a man. A man's presence
i-r dependent upon the prornise of power which he enrbodies. lf the promise is large and credible, his

presence is strikin8. lf it is smail or incredible, he is found to have iittle preserrce. The pronrised pcwer
may be rnoral, physical, temperamental, econornic, social, and sexual-but its object is aiways exterior
to the rnan. A man's presence suggests what he is capable of doing to you or for you. His presence
rnay be fatrricated, in the sense that he pretends to be capable of what ite is not. But the preience is
alway5 19vv316 a polrver which he exercises on others.

By contrast, a woman's presence expresses her own attitude to herself, and defines what can and
cannot be done to her. Her presence is manifest i n her gestures, vo ices, oni nions, expressions. clothes,
chosen surroundings, taste-incieed there is nothing she can do urhich does not contribute to her
presence. Presence for a i,vornan is so intrinsic to her perscn thai nien iend to think of it as an aimost
physical emanation, a kind of heat or smell or aura,

Tc be born a woman has been to be i:orn, within an a{lotted and confinerj space, into the keeping
of
men. The social presence of women lias devek:pecl as a r€sult of their ingenuity in living
under such
tutelage within such 3 limited space. But this has been at the cost of a woman's seif being split into
two. A woman must corltinually- watch hei'self. Whilst she is walking across a room or whilst she is
weeping at the death of her father, she can scarcely avoid envisaging herselflvalking or weeping.

3. Read the following text carefully, make notes and write a summary. [5+5]
Colonising space could be much more difficult than we imagine. Scientilic studies
suggest that children born in space might suffer permanent nervous-systern damage
unless exposed to Earth-like gravity at key points in their development. One difficulty
could be learning how to walk. Young children born in space could have trouble walking
on Earth because their nervous systems would have developed in the low-gravity
envirohment of space. Even adults might have difficulty fully re adjusting to life Earth
alter prolonged periods of weiglrtlessness.

Scientists are just beginning to discover the imporance of gravity in the development of
{
life. They are already aware that it has a serious effect on cell metabolism, brain
development and DNA synthesis. For this reason pregnant women cannot go into
spoce: Studies of 18 pregnant mice launched into space carrying some 200 foetuses at
varying stages of which is a normalaspect of development, slorved down in spbce, as did
cell reproductlon. Without Bravity the space-grown brains were smaller and had fewer
nerve cells than normal mouse brains. How this would affect the functioning of the
brain in an adult animal requlres further study.

Another effect could be muscle wasting. This has already been observed in astronauts,
although there is disagreement as to whether it is linked to the effects of gravity on the
muscle cells or just the lack of muscle use. ln any case, loss of nruscle strength in space
has so far proven to be temporary and there are no confirmed reports of any long-term
illness in oeople returning from long periods in space.

damage suffered in space. This study also showed that

newborn pups, which are born

recover balance and

The irevention of free inquiry is unavoidable so long as the purpose of education is to
produce belief rather than thought to compel the young to hold positive opinions on
doubtful matters rather than to let them see the doubtfulness and be encouraged to
independance of mind. Education ought to foster the wish for truth, not the conviction
that some particular creed is the truth.

One day in 2003, while on her morning walk in the park, Valavolkar felt a shape pain in
her left shoulder. The pain soon subsided and she decided to go about her chores'

But a few hours later, the waves of pain retumed when she was out walking again, this
time to see the neighbourhood dentist about a cavity. It was much than in the worse
morning. Overwhelmed with nause4 di'ziness and shoulder pain that grew more intense
with eviry step she took, she felt too weak to move. Anyhou', her husband and son being
away at work, she assumed it was spondy litis and got in touch with a family friend, an
orthopedic doctor, who insisted she see a heart specialist immediately.
At workhardt hospital soon afterwards, it became clear to the medics that she was having
a myocardial infaretion, a heart attack camed by the blockages- in Valavalkar's case of
ttree blood vessels to the heart. One of them, a key artery, had a 95 percent blockage' An
angioplasty was performed and a stent inserted to open up the blockage. Her medical care
naa Uien so swift, however, that there wzn no serious damage to the heart muscle,

Since then she hadn't been without trouble, but a cardiac rehab programe she entered in
2006 has helped her lead a nonnal life. "I feel fine now," Valvakar says, looking back'
"periodic chick ups are essential and fortunately for me, these have revealed no
problems. I am very active now I even counsel other heart patients to help them stay
positive."
,'Women have different risk factors for cardiac disease than men, but there is such little
awareness, " says Dr.Vanita Arora cardiae ilectrophysiologist and associate director at

Read not to contradict and confute, not to beiicve and take for granted not to find talk and
discourse, but to weigh and consider. Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed
and some few to be chewed and digested. that is some books,are to be read only in parts,
others to be read but not curiously and some to read wholly and with diliqence and action.
Some books also may be read by deputy and extracts made of them by others, but that
would be only in the less important arguments and the meaner sort of books else distilled
books are like common distilled waters flashy things.
3- Read the following text carefuily make notes and rvrite a summary of it. [5+s ]

t What is a rlemocratic goverrunent to do in a country u,here people are steeped in

ignorance and superstition, where there is opposition or rcsistance to even mild retonns
from vested interests is society? It can be said that if the government is to go by consent
or consensus it rtuiil not be able to do anything. Could the government ever get the conseut
or consensus of the people for abolition ol untouchability? But has untouchability been
really abolished? Frankly speaking, ever now the code of manu is in operation, the large
part ofcode thus prepared.
No law, perhaps, can come into lull operation unless it is acceptable to the peopie. And it
is not necessary to say that acceptability can not come without conviction. The
goverrrment had been taking measure after measure to change the social-economic
structure to remove disparities, social and economic. Not that ail the measure have gone
in vain. Feudalism has been abolished; cates ol unir.crsities, legislatures, government
service etc. have been thrown open to all castes and communities, exploitation of the
weaker section of the pcople has been considerabiy reduced.
But there has been no change in the outlook of the people. Politicians and administrators
:;liil behar,'e like ler-rdal lords: corrr-rption, favouritism and nepotism have not shown any
sign oiabatement; faith is caste system and all that lt mav stand tor has not r,veakened. In
one u'ord, independence, democracy etc have not shattcred the age-old beliefs and
conviction. No wonder thc blind is leading the blind.

The reason..why this book has been speciplly prepared to make it enjoyable reading for people

unusual words, so that the learner, trying to read the book in its origina.l form, has to turn

$eneraliy speaking, men and women fall into two categories when dealing wittico-mmunic;titri

There are two fire-boxes inside the boiler, an inner

way forward' The inner fire-box is linked by tubes to the
fire-plate at the front of the boiler.
Practicaliy the whole of the heating surface, rvhich
includes these fire-tubes, is surrounded by
water' A high rate of evaporation in the boiler is essential,

The superheated stqam.is passed to the steam-chest
which is attached to the cylinder. From
the steam-chest it is introduced into the cyrinder
at the appropriate momqnts through ports.
These ports are opened and closed by slide ,rulu.q

ririves the piston forwards. The inlet port is then

exhaust steam from the grst charge is driven
out into the atmosphere through a blast pipe.
This is done in order to lncrease-the draught over the
fire. The reciprocating action of the
piston is changed into a rotational movement
of the wheels by a connecting rod and crank.
