Comprehension:

Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:


From the very beginning man has attempted what has seemed impossible. Man is different from the rest of the creation in

this respect. He has an eternal thirst for adventure. This has led to countless new discoveries and inventions. Human

curiosity is limitless. It is responsible for space flights and moon landings.

The desire to know what lies beyond the visible world takes many forms. The Everest hero Tenzing and the hero of the

‘Seven Seas’, Mihir Sen, were inspired by the same restless spirit. Astronaute Armstrong, Collins and Aldrin, who were the

first humans to set foot on the soil of the moon, have proved beyond doubt that man shall not rest until he has conquered

the entire universe.

Now the question arises: Is it enough to know and master nature? To answer it one should first answer a more basic

question: Which is more important – knowing and understanding the world around you or knowing and understanding

yourself? Everyone will agree that in the absence of self-knowledge even the most advanced knowledge of the universe will

be not only useless but also dangerous.

QUESTIONS:

28. How does the author of the passage differentiate man from other species?

29. What is the outcome of limitless human curiosity according to the given passage?

30. What is the propelling force for Tenzing the Everest Hero and Mihir Sen, the hero of the seven seas?

31. What does the achievement of the astronauts Armstrong, Collins and Aldrin prove?

32. “To answer it one should first answer a more basic question” – What does it refer to?

33. “Man has an eternal thirst for adventure”. Give two instances from the passage.

34. Which is more important? Knowledge of the self or knowledge of the universe? Why?

56. Make a precis of the following passage:

Democracy, like liberty or science or progress, is a word with which we are all so familiar that we rarely take the

trouble to ask what we mean by it. It is a term, as the devotees of semantics say, which has no reference there is no

precise or pulpable thing or object which we all think of when the word is pronounced. On the country, it is a word

which connotes different things to different people, a kind of conceptual gladstone bag (Gladstone bag, a black leather

bag convenient to be hand carried) which with a little manipulation, can be made to accommodate almost any

collection of social facts we may wish to carry about in it. It can as easily pack a dictatorship as any other form of

government. We have only to stretch the concept to include any form of government supported by a majority of the

people, for whatever reasons and by whatever means of expressing assent, and before we know it the empire of

Napolean the Soviet regime of Stalin and the Fascist systems of Mussolini and Hitler are all safely in the bag. But if this

is what we mean by democracy, then virtually all forms of government are democratic, since virtually all government,

except in times of revolution, rest upon the explicit or implicit consent of the people. In order to discuss democracy

intelligently it will be necessary, therefore, to define it, to attach to the word a sufficiently precise meaning to avoid

the confusion which is not infrequently the chief result of such discussions.

All human institutions, we are told, have their ideal forms laid away in heaven, and we do not need to be told that the

actual institutions conform but indifferently to these ideal counterparts. It would be possible then to define

democracy either in terms of the ideal or in terms of the real form - to define it as government of the people, by the

people, for the people, or to define it as government of the people, by the politicians, for what ever pressure groups

can get their interests taken care of. But as a historian I am naturally disposed to be satisfied with the meaning which

in the history of politics, men have commonly attributed to the word- a meaning, needless to say, which derives party

from the experience and party from the sapiration of mankind. So regarded the term democracy refers primarily to a

form of government, and it has always meant government by the many as opposed to government by a tyrant, a

dictator, or an absolute monarch. This is the most general meaning of the word as men have commonly understood it.


57. Make a précis of the following passage:

Work is one thing that is necessary to keep the world going; without it we should all very quickly die. Let us think for a

moment about all the kinds of work there are, and what they are for. To begin with, many men work on the land. They

are cultivators or gardeners. They plough or dig and sow seeds, or else they look after cows and buffaloes, goats and

sheep. They are all busy in growing things or looking after animals. Without them there would be no wheat to make

into flour and hay to feed the horses. No rice and dal; no tea drink, no milk and ghee and no cotton for our clothes.

Next, there are those who dig things out of the earth. They are the miners who dig out the coal and iron, the precious

stones and gold and silver, tin, copper, lead, mica and other minerals; and the quarry men who dig out stone for

buildings and roads, and for laying a bed for railway lines. Others dig up clay to make into bricks, and another sort of

clay to make into earthenware, plates and bowls.

Both coal and iron are needed for hundreds of different purposes, and we could not get on at all without them. Most

things are made by machinery these days and machinery is chiefly made of iron an steel. And the coal is needed not

only to make the iron machines, but very often to dirive them when they are make.

Then there are those who make things. They can not do their work till the others have done theirs. Things must be

either grown or dug up before anything can be made out of them. Things can also be made from leather and wool

which come from animals. So workers of this third kind, those who make things, need the first two kinds to provide

them with material before they can begin to work.

Now we came to fourth kind of worker, who is just as useful and necessary as the other three. The things you want to

eat or to wear or to use will not come to you by themselves and it would be very awkward if you have to fetch them

all. Things have to be brought from the place where they are made or grown or dug up to the place where they are

wanted, so a great many men re-occupied in moving things: sailers and railwaymen, cart drivers and motor drivers and

so on.

There is still one more set of workers to talk about. Try and think of people you know who do not grow or dig or make

or move things and who are workers all the same. What about the teacher the doctor the dentist, the policeman, the

soldier, the lawyers and the priests? What is their work?

There people do not exactly make things for you, and yet you could not very well get on without them, because they

do things for you that you could not do for yourself. Your teacher teaches you, the doctor cures you, the dentist looks

after you teeth, the soldiers fight for you. They all do something for you that you want to be done and that you cannot

do for yourself. It is not easy to choose a simple name to give them, but perhaps we might call them the helpers. You

see that they are different from the rest because they do not provide you with things that you need; but they give you

the help that you need. Some people say that what they give you is their services, which is much the same thing as

help.

So, you will find that every worker goes into one or other of those five sets, though it is not always easy to see just

where to place him.

58. Make a précis of the following paragraph:

The cinema is outstanding wonder of this modern age. Apart from the great pleasure it gives us as a means of

entertainment, it is many ways an education in itself, and no regular patron of the cinema can ever be called illiterate.

The cinema is also a very valuable asset to educationsists in imparting knowledge. The film companies, from time-to-


time, produce historical pictures and their pictures are of great importance to the teacher of history. A couple of

hours spent in the company of historical personages dressed in the proper dress of that period can teach us far more

than we can learn from from a whole weak’s browsing in a history text book. Even some of Shakespeare’s dramas and

comedies have been filmed and we thereby gain a much bettar idea of the play than would be possible from a casual

reading of it.

But of the far greater importance is the use of the film in the teaching of sciences and industry. There are educational

film companies which devote their time to the filming of the habits and customs of animals, insects, fishes, germas

and mumerous other branches of scientific life. We can see the hatching of the eggs of fish and their gradual

development into large fishes; we can watch the unceasing activity of many kinds of germs and their effect on water,

milk or blood. We can watch the opening and closing of flowers and leaves and the growth of grase and weeds. All

these actions and movements are greatly magnified on the screen. Such pictures are intensely interesting and are a

great help to the cause of education.
