Q.7 Make a Precis of the following passage and suggest a suitable title: (30 marks)


4/58

All human beings are liable to err. To be at peace with oneself,the realization of this fact is

essential.Humanity is faced with numerous struggles and difficulties.We should view our

own problems as part of a universal struggle and brace ourselves to meet every difficulty

with fortitude.To be frantic and desperate n such occasions cannot help the situation

.Perhaps the greatest folly is for each of us to hug his troubles to himself.Often the path

through our worst worries can be made smoother if we seek the guidance of a trusted

friend. But there are limits to human wisdom.The only adequate way to endure large evils is

to find large consolations.The key to this search is prayer.The faith in a beneficent "Higher

Power" can carry us through our most anxious moments.It has cured many people of their

diseases and banished melancholy from their hearts.It was faith in God coupled with

hardwork, which enabled Alexis Carrel to face ridicule and rejection calmly and finally

became the recipient of the Nobel Prize.Finally ,how much less we should be if we could see

our struggle as a part of the struggle of a whole creation intent on growth and renewal. By

doing so, we not only make our lives easier ,but we also add our bit to the sum of human

dignity and faith.

Q.2 Make a prcis of the following passage in about 120 words and suggesta suitable title.

(20)

Teaching, more even than other professions, has been transformed during the last hundred years

from a small, highly skilled profession concerned with a minority of the population, to a large and

important branch of the public service. The profession has a great and honourable tradition, extending

from the dawn of history until recent times, but any teacher in the modern world who allows himself to

be inspired by the ideals of his predecessors is likely to be made sharply aware that it is not his

function to teach what he thinks, but to instill such beliefs and prejudices as are thought useful by his

employers. In former days a teacher was expected to be a man of exceptional knowledge or wisdom,to whose words men would do well to attend. In antiquity, teachers were not an organized profession,

and no control was exercised over what they taught. It is true that they were often punished

afterwards for their subversive doctrines. Socrates was put to death and Plato is said to have been

thrown into prison, but such incidents did not interfere with the spread of their doctrines. Any man who

has the genuine impulse of the teacher will be more anxious to survive in his books than in the flesh. A

feeling of intellectual independence is essential to the proper fulfillment of the teachers function, since

it is his business to instill what he can of knowledge and reasonable into the process of forming public

opinion.

In our more highly organized world we face a new problem. Something called education is given to

everybody, usually by the State. The teacher has thus become, in the vast majority of cases, a civilservant obliged to carry out the behests of men who have not his learning, who have no experience of

dealing with the young and whose only attitude towards education is that of the propagandist.
