It is necessary to distinguish between the values of knowledge that th is
thrust upon us from outside, and the wisdom that grows from within.
The thing that we learn from books oks and newspapers, the mass of
information that is carried to us by our friends
riends and opponents and by all
people who come into intellectual intercourse with us, our daily life–all
form a part of our experience. They also so are of great value to us not
only because they are highly useful in widening
dening our intellectual outlook
but also they very often add to the strength
ngth of inner convictions based
on our own experience of the world. But the thing that really enriches
our mind with wisdom is the experience that we acquire by pleasant
ornpleasant contact with the world. This is the thing that stands us in
good stead in steering clear of shoals and hidden rocks in our voyage
through the stormy sea of life.

friend, who fluctuates from opinion to opinion, from plan to plan,

great or useful. Instead of being progressive in anything, he will
be at best stationary, and most probably retrograde in all. It is only
the man who first consults wisely, then resolves firmly, and then
executes his purpose with flexible perseverance, undismayed by
those petty difficulties which daunt a weaker spirit that can
advance to eminence in any line. Take your course wisely but
firmly; and having taken it, hold upon it with heroic resolution,

03. Write a precis of the following extract and give it a suitable
title: 10
Is it possible to persuade mankind to live without war? War is
an ancient institution which has existed for at least six thousand
years. It was always wicked and usually foolish, but in the past
the human race managed to live with it. Modern ingenuity has
changed this. Either Man will abolish war, or war will abolish
Man. For the present, it is nuclear weapons that cause the
greatest danger, but bacteriological or chemical weapons may,
before long,g, offer an even greater threat. If we succeed in
abolishing nuclear weapons, our work will not be done. It will
never be done until we have succeeded in abolishing war. To do
this, we need to persuade mankind to look upon international
questions in a new way, not as contests of force, in which the
victory goes to the side which is most skilful in massacre, but by
arbitration in accordance with agreed principles of law. It is not
easy to change age-old
old mental habits, but this is what must be
attempted.

03. Write a precis of the following extract and give it a suitable
title: 10
The food we eat today is all poisonous. It is not the natural food
that our forefathers used to eat. All kinds of food were then
natural, got directly from nature and produced by nature’s
natur own
powers and possessions. There was no interference of man.
Manmade Chemicals and devices were not then discovered.
Food stuff grew in nature’s bed. But now man has discovered
many chemical fertilizers. Those are applied to vegetables and
crops. They grow very y quickly, more quickly than ever before.
They grow larger than ever before. But they are perhaps less
vital, less nutritious and less tasty than they were before. Next
the insecticides are poisonous, deadly poisonous. The vegetables
we eat retain much of the poison; however, much we may clean
them. The fruits and vegetables are preserved with preservatives
or quickly ripened with poisonous medicines. Fish are

preservatives or quickly ripened with poisonous medicines. Fish
are preserved with formalin. The animals
a themselves are fed
with chemicals for quick growth. In hotels and bakeries, and
sweetshops pure foodstuffs are hardly available. Stale, rotten
foodstuffs are also sold in the shape of hot sandwiches. These
are the kinds of food that we eat nowadays.

03. Write a precis of the following: 10
Self-reliance
reliance is the pilgrim’s best staff, the worker’s best tool. It
is the master-key
key that unlocks all the difficulties of life. ‘Help
yourself and Heaven will help you’ is a maxim which receives
daily confirmation. Help from within always strengthens, but b
help from without invariably weakens the recipient. The habit of
depending on others tends to weaken the intellectual faculties
and paralyse the power of judgment. The struggle against
adverse circumstances has, on the contrary, a strengthening

effect, like that of pure mountain air on an enfeebled frame.
This is a lesson which is not taught in the schools and colleges
now-a-days.
days. The vice of the modern system of education is that
it lays down too many royal roads to knowledge. The difficulties
which formerly
merly compelled the student to think and labour for
himself are now most carefully removed. The race of thorough
and complete scholars is dying out. Our young men are
equipped to such an extent with manuals that explain everything
and guides that go everywherehere that they find no occasion for
thought. Why take any trouble at all when so many are willing
to relieve you of it?

Habits of idleness once firmly fixed cannot be suddenly thrown

lazy and the selfish excuse themselves from a thousand things
which conscience
nscience dictates to be done. Remember that the men
who have done the most for their own and the general are not
the wealthy, Leisurely people who have abundance of time to
themselves have nothing to do. They are men who are in
careless activity from Januaryry to December-

It is neighbourly feeling that binds the society together. In the
ancient period, however, people did not think like this. They
were then savages, little better than beasts and fought with one
another. But gradually men became civilized. They saw that if
they
hey behaved in this way, the society would be destroyed. So
they made certain rules to guide their conduct. ‘Do not steal
another’s property’, ‘Do not kill your fellowmen’ are two of
them. You will notice that these rules tell us not to do certain
things; in other words, they lay down certain ‘Don’ts’ of
conduct. But it is not enough that we do not do any harm to our
neighbours; it is our duty to see that we do them some good. So
when men became more civilized, they began to think of the

‘Do’s of conduct as well. ‘Live and let live’ was a good idea.
But men then had even a better idea. They said, ‘To live, one
must help others live.’ When men began to think this, they
discovered the great art of living together.

The authority of the past resides in the authority that the legal
community accords ds to statutes and case law. However, case law
and statute are not equal in their authority to govern the present.
First of all, statute law has priority over common law (though
not equity) and, in consequence, where a statue governs, it
entirely displaces common law rules and governs absolutely.
However, although this is indisputably true, case law is yet
ascendant because it is there that the rules of law, including
those that arise from statutes, finally reside.
This is a consequence of the bald fact of interpretation since
statutes neither interpret nor apply themselves, the rules of law
that depend on them are unavoidably those which the courts

construct from them. Though statute is a superior source of law,
its authority is nonetheless subject to the authority
a of the courts
to determine what legislation means and entails.
Yet, because statute is superior, courts are required to temper
their authority with a measure of deference. The doctrine of
precedent, then, devolves from the legal community’s
commitment
ment to remain faithful to and stand by the past and it
takes its final and most important form in the practice of judicial
precedent.

Ecosystem diversity is itself one of the components of
biodiversity as the components are species diversity, genetic
diversity and ecosystem diversity. Services coming from any
one of thee components of biodiversity are the contributions of
biodiversity as a whole to the human and to the environment.
The contribution of biodiversity renders the widerspread canopy
characteristics of its definition. Evaluating contribution of
biodiversity to national economy needs a widespread practice to
define biodiversity in terms of genes, species and ecosystem-
ecosystem

biodiversity (genetic diversity, species diversity and ecosystem

diversity) have significant
icant contribution to national and global
economy. The contribution of biodiversity can be divided into
two broad and self-explanatory
explanatory fields: direct contribution and
indirect contribution. The direct contribution of biodiversity
essentially concerns marketabletable commodities and the scale of
this contributions is enormous and extremely multifaceted. The
indirect contributions of biodiversity are in the fields of foods,
medicine, biological control, industrial material, recreational
harvesting and ecotourism.

02. Amplify the idea contained in any one of the following
expressions: 10
a) Presumption of innocence
b) No taxation without representation
c) Hire and fire
Today, it is not merely justice itself, but the idea of justice that
is under attack. The assault on vulnerable and fragile sections of
the society is so complete, so cruel and so clever that its sheer
audacity has eroded our definition of justice. It has forced us to
lower our sights and curtail our expectations. Even among the
well-intentioned,
intentioned, the magnificent concept
concep of justice is gradually
being substituted with reduced, far more fragile discourse on
human rights. This is indeed an alarming shift of paradigm. The
difference is that notions of equality, of parity, have been pried
loose and eased out of equation. It’s a process of attrition.
Almost unconsciously, we begin to think of justice for the rich
and human rights for the poor. Justice for the corporate world,
human rights for its victims. Justice for the citizens of developed
nations, human rights for those of under developed societies.
This situation is the result of the process of implementing a
coercive and unjust political and economic structure in the

world. That is why in areas of heightened and long time conflict
human rights activists are often looked at with reluctance and
often with suspicion.

Trees give shade for the benefit of others and while they
themselves stand in the sun and endure scorching heat, they
produce the fruit by which others profit. The character of good
men is like that of the trees. What is the use of this perishable
body, if no use of it is made for the benefit of mankind? Sandal
wood the more it is rubbed, the more scent it- it yields. Sugarcane
the more it is peeled and cut into pieces, the more juice it
produces. Gold the more it is burnt, the more brightly it shines.
The men who are noble at heat at heat do not lose these qualities
even in losing their lives. What does it matter whether men
praise them or not? What difference does it make whether riches
abide with them or not? Life is unprofitable to a man who does
nott live for others. Those who lay down their lives for the sake
of a friend, or even for the sake of a stranger, will assuredly
dwell for over in a world of bliss.

Raising environmental concerns in Norway, where oil and gas
account for about a quarter of GDP and fund a vast national
pension system, might seem a thankless job. But it’s a crucial
one. Different groups have different approaches to the
environmental concerns. In this regard Hauge, 42, a top
executive of Belleona, has his own approach which is to
collaborate
aborate with heavy industry’, not battle it. Bellona aims to
help oil majors such as Norway’s StateoilHydro and Anglo- Anglo
Duch saint Shell to become greener enterprises. Hauge doesn’t
always see eye to eye with big business. but executives at
companies like these ese appreciate Bellona’s sound, grasp of
science-his
his staff of 60 includes engineers and physicists and
value what he describes
escribes as his willingness to ‘sit
‘ down and
discuss solutions over a cup of coffee.’ This emphasis on finding
solutions rather than clinging to ideology also informs his stance
on carbon
bon capture and storage, hereby CO2 form energy
production is deposited deep underground. Some green groups
scoff at this practice, but Hague sees its crucial to reducing
emissions.
