हमारे बाल्यकाल के संस्कार ही जीवन का ध्येय निर्धारित करते हैं, अतः यदि शैशव में हमारी संतान ऐसे ‘व्यक्तियों की छाया में ज्ञान प्राप्त करेगी, जिनमें चरित्र तथा सिद्धांत की विशेषता नहीं है, जिनमें संस्कारजनित अनेक दोष हैं, तो फिर विद्यार्थियों के चरित्र पर भी उसी की छाप पड़ेगी और भविष्य में उनके ध्येय भी उसी के अनुसार स्वार्थमय तथा अस्थिर होंगे। शिक्षा एक ऐसा कर्तव्य नहीं है जो किसी पुस्तक को प्रथम पृष्ठ से अंतिम पृष्ठ तक पढ़ाने से ही पूर्ण हो जाता हो, वरन् वह ऐसा कर्तव्य है जिसकी परिधि सारे जीवन को घेरे हुए है और पुस्तकें ऐसे साँचे हैं जिनमें ढालकर उसे सुडौल बनाया जा सकता है।
यह वास्तव में आश्चर्य का विषय है कि हम अपने साधारण कार्यों के लिए करने वालों में जो योग्यता देखते हैं, वैसी योग्यता भी शिक्षकों में नहीं ढूँढ़ते। जो हमारी बालिकाओं, भविष्य की माताओं का निर्माण करेंगे उनके प्रति हमारी उदासीनता को अक्षम्य ही कहना चाहिए। देश-विशेष, समाज-विशेष तथा संस्कृति-विशेष के अनुसार किसी के मानसिक विकास के साधन और सुविधाएँ उपस्थित करते हुए उसे विस्तृत संसार का ऐसा ज्ञान करा देना ही शिक्षा है, जिससे वह अपने जीवन में सामंजस्य का अनुभव कर सके और उसे अपने क्षेत्र-विशेष के साथ ही बाहर भी उपयोगी बना सके। यह महत्त्वपूर्ण कार्य ऐसा नहीं है जिसे किसी विशिष्ट संस्कृति से अनभिज्ञ चंचल चित्त और शिथिल चरित्र वाले व्यक्ति सुचारु रूप से संपादित कर सकें।

Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
An ear of corn on a corn plant is protected by a husk and at the end of the ear, emerging from the husk, you can see a bunch of silk-like threads. What is the purpose of these threads ? Well, each thread is attached to a kernel of corn inside the husk and each kernel of corn, if it is fertilized by pollen, can become a seed that can grow into a new corn plant. How does pollen reach the kernel ? It travels through the silk-like thread, which is a hollow tube.
Q. This passage is mainly about?
Direction: Despite promises of aid, the actual record of international aid to post-war reconstruction is deficient. Once the war ends, agencies involved in post-war relief efforts fail to understand how to start or restart economic development in a low income setting. They squander time, surplus aid funds and opportunities because they are not familiar with local conditions and don't understand their needs and viewpoints. There are distinct phases of outside help to end a conflict. In the first phase, focus is one providing instant food, water, shelter, medicine to refugees, this is the humanitarian. In the second phase emphasis is on the refugees' returning home while in the last phase long-term investments and strengthening of courts is the main focus.

The harbor was abuzz. People were wandering here and there, screwing their eyes up to the horizon, checking to see if the ship had arrived. Not just any ship of course there were plenty of those to be seen on the waters, bobbing elegantly but this was the "Tuscany", from America. Nothing to boast of as far as the ship itself was concerned. Just the cargo she carried. Finally, a ship arrived, slowly, painstakingly, with two men, seen as little specks on the deck.
Q. 'Screwing their eyes upto the horizon' means?

Shouldn't we then live in harmony with nature and evolve with it? Our brains, too, are wired to enjoy the beauty of nature. No man-made systems can complete with the joy and well-being. we feel in observing nature's display all year round. We recover rapidly from physical stress when exposed to pleasing natural environmental beauty. We take holidays amidst natural scenic wonders and we retreat to nature to recover and recoup from stress. Yet, we choose to destroy nature with our wasteful lifestyles and our burgeoning population. We use natural resources inefficiently and destroy them for technological development. We think we can change the natural resources inefficiently and destroy them for technological development. We think we can change the natural tapestry, and have even started playing God !
Q. How can we live in harmony with nature?

We are very disappointed with the change in the date. It was a law enacted and approved by Parliament, which was supposed to benefit citizens. The delay in the deadline for digitization is more of a knee jerk reaction by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to its inability to resolve crucial differences between stakeholders. While broadcasters and DTH operators want the government to fast-track the process, local cable operators have asked for a further extension of introduction of the technology is done in a manner that creates a level playing field for all the stakeholders. A government mandated imposition of technology, in this instance, will benefit only a privileged few and deprive a large section of the population of the benefits of inexpensive cable TV.
Q. What was the impact of introduction of new technology in TV world?
Direction: When I logged in to Facebook this week,i was greeted with updates from such friends as Mareah Carey, Natalie portman and
Ryan Gosling, right? Except that when i clicked through. It was clear that these posts were from my same, lame no-name
friends who were simply jumping on the latest Facebook bandwagon. Yes, it is (or was as these things don’t exactly have strict
expiration dates) Celebrity doppelganger week on Facebook , during which people replace their profile picture with the celeb
they think they look most like them.
This is the operative word here. I love my friends, but trust me-it’s a motley crew that little resembles anyone casting directors would want to put in a feature film. But more disturbing than the creative liberties they took in choosing their twins is that, this is just the latest example of how my friends-and hundreds of thousands of people around the world-are susceptible to face book groupthink. These are grass-roots names that spread virally throughout the site, making them difficult to trace back to an origin with any certainty. The Huffington post published what appeared to be the transcript of an interview with Bob Patel, and IT worker who says his resemblance to Tom selleck prompted the start of Doppelganger Week. But the claim (and the transcript itself) is dubious-the article is even tagged as “satire,” but that hasn’t stopped blogs and news organizations from citing Patel as the instigator.
Q. Which of the following best represents the theme of the passage ?
Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
In presents scenario of increasing demand for cut flowers, protected cultivation in green house is the best alternatives for using land and other resources more efficiently. In protected environment, suitable environmental conditions for optimum plant growth are provided ultimately quality with products. Greenhouse is made up of glass or plastic film, which allows the solar radiations to pass through but traps the thermal radiations emitted by plants inside and, thereby, provide inside, On the basis of material used, building cost and technology used, green house can be of three types: low-cost greenhouse, medium-cost greenhouse and hi-tech greenhouse.
Q. Why the green house is made up of glass or plastic film?

If you are worried by the radiation emitted by cell phone towers around you, there is some good news. From September 1, this year, India will lower the level to one tenth of the prevailing standard from 9.2 w/m2 to 0.92 w/m2. The decision follows a report of the inter-ministerial committee formed by the Ministry of communications and Information Technology to study the hazards posed by e.m.f radiation from base stations and mobile phones. Sharma said lowering of the limit is a preventive step against serious health risks posed by radiation emitted from towers which includes the possibility of developing certain types of cancer. The cause and effect relationship though hasn't been established yet. The department of telecommunications has also issued directions for reducing the specific absorption rate, a measure of the amount of radio frequency energy absorbed by the body while using a phone
Q. Why was the inter-ministerial committee formed by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology?

In a country where more than 400 million people live without electricity, it isn't political rhetoric and policies filtered through many layers of bureaucracy that will benefit people. An innovative approach to identifying and addressing the basic lack of infrastructure works best. This is best exemplified by the initiative to convert rice husks into electricity in Bihar. Pioneered by a company called Husk Power Systems, established in 2007, by Bihar native Gyanesh Pandey along with three partners- it's a peculiarly Indian initiative, making a virtue out of the necessity of low-cost solutions to large scale problems. In essence, Pandey and his partners have devised an electric distribution system powered by the waste product of rice husks, generated when rice is milled- something in abundant supply in Bihar where, it is estimated, 1.8 billion kg of rice husk are produced annually

Q. What is the problem that led to the innovation?
Direction: In 1900, to a shipping clerk---Alexander Fleming---a career in science seemed like a distant dream. Alexander the youngest son of a Scottish farmer from Ayrshire was born on 6, August, 1881. He was able to complete High school but then his family funds ran out. At sixteen he took a job as a shipping clerk and stayed there for four years. In 1901. Alexander came across a small legacy which enabled him to continue his education, and, on the advice of one of his brothers who was a doctor, he chose to prepare for a career in medicine. Alexander did unusually well in medical school along with rifle shooting, swimming, water polo and painting. After his graduation, his teacher Prof. Wright asked him to join him in bacteriological research, which he readily agreed.
Q. How was he favoured by the fortune ?
Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
A new consciousness is to dawn. Science has not been able to demystify existence. This is now recognized not by ordinary technicians but by geniuses, because they are the pioneers; they can see the dawn very close by, they are the prophets. Albert Einstein said that science has failed in demystifying existence, that on the contrary, it has mystified things even more.
e.g., it was so easy-just 100 years ago-for the scientist to say that all is matter. Now matter has disappeared; in neon-physics there is no entity called matter. The deeper the physicist went into the world of matter, the less matter was found ; it is all pure energy . Can we define energy ? Energy can not be material; it is something totally different from matter . Matter is static, energy is dynamic; matter is a noun, energy is a verb. Matter is measurable. That is exactly, the meaning of the word 'matter'. It comes from 'measure', the root means 'measurable'. Matter can be measured, that's why it is called matter. Energy is immeasurable, it can not be called matter. Hence, physicists get more puzzled the more they probe into the world energy.
Q. What is the difference in "today's science and earlier science"?
Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.
In spring, polar bear mothers emerge from dens with three months old cubs. The mother bear has fasted for as long as eight months but that does not stop the young from demanding full access to her remaining reserves. If there are triplets, the most persistent stands to gain an extra meal and it may have the meal at the expense of other. The smallest of the litter forfeits many meals to stronger siblings. Females are protective of their cubs but tend to ignore family rivalry over food. In 21 years of photographing polar bears, I've only once seen the smallest of triplets survive till autumn.
