Similar SSC CGL Doubts

Direction: When I logged in to Facebook this week,i was greeted with updates from such friends as Mareah Carey, Natalie portman andRyan Gosling, right? Except that when i clicked through. It was clear that these posts were from my same, lame no-namefriends who were simply jumping on the latest Facebook bandwagon. Yes, it is (or was as these things don’t exactly have strictexpiration dates) Celebrity doppelganger week on Facebook , during which people replace their profile picture with the celebthey 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 ?

Directions: Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to the question out of the given four alternatives.The saddest part of life lies not in the act of dying, but in failing to truly live while we are alive. Too many of us play small with our lives, never letting the fullness of our humanity see the light of day. Ive learned that what really counts in life, in the end, is not how many toys we have collected or how much money weve accumulated, but how many of our talents we have liberated and used for a purpose that adds value to this world. What truly matters most is the lives we have touched and the legacy that we have left. Tolstoy put it so well when he wrote: "We live for ourselves only when we live for others." It took me forty years to discover this simple point of wisdom.Forty long years to discover that success cannot really be pursued. Success ensues and flows into your life as the unintended yet inevitable byproduct of a life spent enriching the lives of other people. When you shift your daily focus from a compulsion to survive towards a lifelong commitment to serve, your existence cannot help but explode into success. I still cant believe that I had to wait until the "half-time" of my life to figure out that true fulfillment as a human being comes not from achieving those grand gestures that put us on the front pages of the newspapers and business magazines, but instead from those basic and incremental acts of decency that each one of us has the privilege to practice each and every day if we simply make the choice to do so.Mother Teresa, a great leader of human hearts if ever there was one, said it best: "There are no great acts, only small acts done with great love." I learned this the hard way in my life. Until recently, I had been so busy striving, I had missed out on living. I was so busy chasing lifes big pleasures that I had missed out on the little ones, those micro joys that weave themselves in and out of our lives on a daily basis but often go unnoticed. My days were overscheduled, my mind was overworked and my spirit was underfed.Q. According to the passage, what did the author learn the hard way in her life?

Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.Little changes have taken place in the context of development demography of rural India in the past few decades. Obviously, positive signs are there but they are not up to the mark as anticipated. Yes, the numbers of primary school have increased. The situation of school education in rural India has also improved, but rural education still suffers from lack of qualified teachers, teachers absenteeism, unavailability of committed teachers, poor infrastructure, appropriate teaching methods etc. Phone lines have been extended to villages, but it is yet to reach most of the geographically-isolated, tribal and remote areas of rural India. Electricity supply in some parts of rural India is at best intermittent. Basic health care services are still limited in its availability, and unavailability of committed and qualified doctors are jeopardizing the rural health care system. Entertainment in village is mostly confined to radio or television, and that also gets interrupted by frequent power cuts.Q. What is the author most worried about in the given passage?

Directions: Read the given passage and answer the question that follows.I first saw the leopard when I was crossing the small stream at the bottom of the hill. The ravine was so deep that for most of the day it remained in shadow. This encouraged many birds and animals to emerge from cover during the hours of daylight. Few people ever passed that way. As a result, the ravine had become a little haven of wildlife, one of the few natural sanctuaries left near Mussoorie.It was early April and the wild roses were flowering. I walked down to the stream almost every day, after two or three hours of writing.Nearly every morning, and sometimes during the day, I heard the cry of the barking deer. And in the evening, walking through the forest, I disturbed parties of khaleej pheasant. As I had not come to take anything from the jungle, the birds and animals soon grew accustomed to my face. After some time, my approach did not disturb them. But one evening, as I passed, I heard them chattering in the trees, and I was not the cause of their excitement.As I crossed the stream a shower of pebbles came rattling down the steep hillside, and I looked up to see a sinewy orange-gold leopard poised on a rock about 20 feet above me.It was not looking towards me, but had its head thrust attentively forward in the direction of the ravine. It must have sensed my presence, though, because slowly it turned its head to look down at me. It seemed a little puzzled at my presence there; when, to give myself courage, I clapped my hands sharply, the leopard sprang away into the thickets, making no sound as it melted into the shadows.One day I found the remains of a barking deer, which had been partially eaten. I wondered why the leopard had not hidden the remains of his meal, and decided it must have been disturbed while eating. Then, climbing the hill, I met a party of shikaris. Leopard-skins, they told me, were selling in Delhi at over a thousand rupees each! Of course there was a ban on the export of skins, but they gave me to understand that there were ways and means …I thanked them for their information and walked on, feeling uneasy. The shikaris had seen the carcass of the deer, and they had seen the leopard's pug marks, and they kept coming to the forest. Almost every evening I heard their guns banging away; for they were ready to fire at almost anything."There's a leopard about," they always told me. "You should carry a gun.""I don't have one," I said.Q. Why did the author feel that the leopard might have sensed his presence?
