रिक्शे पर मीरा के साथ हँसती-बोलती ॠतु घर पहुँची। सीढ़ीयाँ चढ़ने लगी तो कुछ झगड़ने की आवाज़े सुनाई दी। ऊपर पहुँची तो देखा, दोनों आजू-बाजू वाली पड़ोसनें झगड़ रही थीं । अपने दरवाज़े के पास खड़ी होकर उसने कुछ देर उनकी बातें सुनीं तो झगड़े का कारण समझ में आया। एक की महरी ने घर साफ़ करके कचरा दूसरी के दरवाज़े की ओर फेंक दिया था, इसी बात का झगड़ा था। ॠतु ने दोनों को समझाया-बुझाया। आख़िरकार कचरा फेंकने वाली महरी को बुलाया गया। उसने झाड़ू थामी और कचरा सीढ़ी की ओर धकेल दिया।फिर वह महरी अंदर चली गई। दोनों पड़ोसनों ने भी अंदर जाकर अपने-अपने द्वार बंद कर लिए ।
ॠतु खड़ी-खड़ी देखती रही।जो सीढ़ी पहले से ही गंदी थी वह और भी गंदी हो गई । रेत का तो साम्राज्य ही था। कहीं बादाम के छिलके पड़े थे तो कहीं चूसी हुई ईख के लच्छे; कहीं बालों का गुच्छा उड़ रहा था तो कहीं कुछ और। मन वितृष्णा से भर उठा। सोचा, इस सीढ़ी से चढ़कर सब अपने घर तक आते हैं, इससे उतरकर दफ्तर, बाजार आदि अपनी इच्छित जगहों पर जाते हैं, पर इसे कोई साफ़ नहीं करता। उलटे सब इस पर कचरा फेंक देते हैं | साझे की सीढ़ी है न ! गंदगी बिखेरने का हक सबको मिला है और साफ़ करने का कर्तव्य किसी का नहीं है। स्वच्छता तो जैसे अनबुझी तृष्णा हो गई।

Mandela recollects that it was almost impossible for a black man in south Africa to fulfill his obligation to his family and society because of the system of apartheid practiced by the white rulers. He began to hanker after freedom when he realized that his freedom had been taken away from him when he reached manhood. He yearned for the basic and honorable freedoms of achieving his potential, of marrying, having a family-the freedom not to be obstructed in a lawful life. When Mandela realized that not only his freedom was curtailed, but the freedom of everyone who looked like him was also curtailed. That's when he joined the African national Congress and that is when the hunger for his own freedom became the greater hunger for the freedom of his people.
Q. What was the realization of Mandela?
Direction: While the modern India has made progress in various fields, the priceless intangible heritage of works like the Sama Veda have gone unnoticed-a great loss indeed. We have, it could be said, mindlessly pursed a line of development causing
unwelcome changes to the very fabric of our culture; not very different from iconoclastic behavior. In spite of the fact that a large number of rich Indians possess more wealth than the world's richest, we demonstrate such ignorance about the Vedas in general and Sama Veda in particular. One needs to find out why the world’s oldest composite literature on religion, sciences, humanities and spirituality attracts little public attention today. The yajnas, apart from their religious functions, were unfortunately termed as mere ‘rituals’ even by Indian scholars and so their secular significance has been undermined. It has been shown in a premiere scientific institute in Pune that the Yajna bhasma being of the size of nano-particles had positive effects on human health and the environment.
Q. According to the passage "the iconoclastic behaviour" means ?
Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
Regardless of how the state's feedback control law is designed, it is almost always necessary to implement it, using estimates of the state obtained from an observer. Hence, it is necessary to insure so that the desirable properties of the state feedback design do not vanish when the state estimate are used. It is proven in linear system theory courses that the command response is unaffected by the presence of the observer. However, the response to initial conditions will affect the system output. It is suggested that the observed poles should be made faster than the state feedback poles by an amount that depends upon the level of measurement noise. These conclusions are generally based upon transient time response properties of the system, and not on feedback properties such as robustness margins, We now present a procedure for tuning an observer so that, under appropriate conditions, the feedback properties of a state feedback design are recovered.
Q. On what basis suggestions are given?

As concern about radiation from phones and base stations continues to grow, health experts advice a change of habits-spending less time on the phone, using landline, and texting rather than calling-to cut the risk. The risk of brain cancer as a result of excessive use of phones cannot be ruled out. Reduced use of mobile phones is advised, Cancer is an extreme example. We get many cases of parents complaining that their children lack concentration, get headache and have behavioral problems. This cannot be proved, though. A scientist with ICMR said exposure to radio frequency radiation has a thermal effects, caused by holding a phone close to the body, and also a non-thermal effect which can be attributed to the induced electromagnetic effects inside biological cells. The non-thermal effect is possibly more harmful. People who are chronically exposed to low level wireless antenna emissions and users of mobile phone handsets have reported feeling several unspecific symptoms.
Q. How can the chances of brain cancer be reduced?
Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
When young, a little crab looks quits unlike its parents. As it grows older, it drops its outer converting time and again and grown into new one. With each new coat it comes to look more and more like its its parents, until finally it appears in a shell with its legs and claws just like its parents.

An iron or steel bridge swells (gets larger) when warmed by the Sun and shrink (gets smaller) when it becomes colder. Heat makes everything expand and cold makes everything contract. Cold is the absence of heat. Metals change their size when heated or cooled and this change is noticeable in a bridge that is made of iron or steel. The builder of a bridge must leave empty spaces for the metal to expand into. Have you noticed that concrete sidewalks have cracks every few feet ? These cracks provide space for the concrete to expand into when heated.
Q. Another word for "swells" is?

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

It is not luck but labor that makes a man. Luck says an American writer, is every waiting for something to turn up; labor with keen eyes and strong will always turns up something . Luck lies in bed and wishes the postman would bring him news of a legacy; labor turns out at six and with busy pen and ringing hammer lays the foundation of competence. Luck whines, labor watches. Luck relies on chance, labor on character. Luck slips downwards to self-indulgence; labor strides upwards and aspires to independence. The conviction, therefore,
is extending that diligence is the mother of good luck. In other words, that a man's success in life will be proportionate to his efforts, to his industry, to his attention to small things.

"Cloning is an advanced technological invention for producing a genetic twin of a living thing, an organism that starts life with the same genes as its parents. In mammals, DNA is taken from an adult animal and then it is inserted into an egg cell from another animal. This egg then divides into an embryo. The embryo is then transplanted into a surrogate mother and grown to term. This process has worked in animals like cows, sheep, goats, mice, pigs, rats, cat, monkeys, and horses." The opponents of human cloning say that an embryo at any stage of development is a human life. worthy of protection and any kind of research that entails destroying an embryo is immoral, unethical, no matter how worthy the intent may be. It involves using human beings as means; it turns human life into a commodity and fosters a culture of dehumanization.
Q. What does a 'surrogate mother' mean?

Siachen must be the strategically most bizarre and futile struggle in the world. Only India and Pakistan would waste lives and hundreds of crores of rupees on it every year. Some in the military argue that controlling Siachen is vital for the security of Kashmir and that Indian presence at Siachen usefully threatens the China-Pakistan Karakoram Highway. Given that hardly anyone can move through the glacier with falling into a crevasse or bursting his lungs and given that the Karakoram Highway is 200 km away, this is absurd. The Pm should forthrightly tell the military that this is complete strategic nonsense and that we should stop sacrificing the lives of jawans in this absurdity. India and Pakistan need to add substance to mostly symbolic diplomacy. Siachen would be a good place to being the march towards substance. Pakistan, for its part, must unequivocally give India MN status. Sir Creek Should be next on the list of substantial problem solving; this also was nearly solved in 1993. Then PM and his Pakistani counterpart need to shore up symbolic with real courage and resolve what is resolvable to create the base the base for a Kashmir settlement in the future.
