मेरे मकान के आगे चौराहे पर ढाबे के आगे फुटपाथ पर खाना खाने वाले लोग बैठते हैं- रिक्शेवाले, मजदूर, फेरीवाले, कबाड़ी वाले। आना-जाना लगा ही रहता है। लोग कहते हैं- “आपको बुरा नहीं लगता? लोग सड़क पर गंदगी फैला रहे हैं और आप इन्हें बरदाश्त कर रहे हैं? इनके कारण पूरे मोहल्ले की आबोहवा खराब हो रही है।” मैं उनकी बातों को हल्के में ही लेता हूँ। मुझे पता है कि यहाँ जो लोग जुटते हैं वे गरीब लोग होते हैं। अपने काम-धाम के बीच रोटी खाने चले आते हैं और खाकर चले जाते हैं। ये आमतौर पर बिहार से आए गरीब ईमानदार लोग हैं जो हमारे इस परिसर के स्थायी सदस्य हो गए हैं। ये उन अशिष्ट अमीरों से भिन्न हैं जो साधारण-सी बात पर भी हंगामा खड़ा कर देते हैं। लोगों के पास पैसा तो आ गया पर धनी होने का स्वर नहीं आया। अधजल गगरी छलकत जाए की तर्ज पर इनमें दिखावे की भावना उबल खाती है। असल में यह ढाबा हमें भी अपने माहौल से जोड़ता है। मैं लेखक हूँ तो क्या हुआ? गाँव के एक सामान्य घर से आया हुआ व्यक्ति हूँ। बचपन में गाँव-घरों की गरीबी देखी है और भोगी भी है। खेतों की मिट्टी में रमा हूँ, वह मुझमें रमी है। आज भी उस मिट्टी को झाड़झुड कर भले ही शहरी बनने की कोशिश करता हूँ, बन नहीं पाता। वह मिट्टी बाहर से चाहे न दिखाई दे, अपनी महक और रसमयता से वह मेरे भीतर बसी हुई है। इसीलिए मुझे मिट्टी से जुड़े ये तमाम लोग भाते हैं। इस दुनिया में कहा-सुनी होती है, हाथापाई भी हो जाती है लेकिन कोई किसी के प्रति गाँठ नहीं बाँधता। दुसरे-तीसरे ही दिन परस्पर हँसते-बतियाते और एक-दुसरे के दुःख-दर्द में शामिल होते दिखाई पड़ते हैं। ये सभी कभी-न-कभी एक-दूसरे से लड़ चुके हैं लेकिन कभी प्रतीत नहीं होती कि ये लड़ चुके हैं। कल के गुस्से को अगले दिन धुल की तरह झाड़कर फेंक देते हैं।

Direction: Read the following passages carefully and answer the question that follows.
"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. Find out the false statement out of the given options.
Direction: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions. Your answer to these questions should be based on passage only.
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.
Q. What is the strategic decision?
Direction: The psychological causes of unhappiness, it is clear, are many and various, but all have something in common. The typical unhappy man, is one who, having been deprived in youth of some normal satisfaction, has come to value this one kind of satisfaction more than any other and has therefore given to his life a one-sided direction, together with a quite undue emphasis upon the achievement as opposed to the activities connected with it. There is, however, a further development which is very common in the present day. A man may feel so completely thwarted that he seeks no form of satisfaction, but only distraction and oblivion. He then becomes a devotee of ‘pleasure'. This is to say, he seeks to make life bearable by becoming less alive. Drunkenness, for example, is temporary suicide the happiness that it brings is merely negative, a momentary cessation of unhappiness.
Q. Who is a typical unhappy man ?

Just make a moment to listen to your body. What do I mean by listen to your body ? We think of bodies as concrete physical structure. However, from the understanding of both the most highly developed cultures throughout history and the latest discoveries of the quantum physics, we realize that at the basis of everything in our universe, including our bodies there is nothing other than energy or sound. At their deepest level, our bodies are nothing other than intelligence. This intelligence manifests into different sounds, or energetic vibrations that become the subatomic particles, atoms, cells, tissues, organs, and organ system of our physical bodies. It is said that if we able to raise our level of consciousness to that of an enlightened sage, we can literally here the sounds at the basic of our own mind and bodies.

Why doesn't the air remain still ? The reason is that air, when it becomes heated, becomes lighter, and it rises. When it rises, other air moves in to take its place. The temperature of air becomes like the surface of the earth over which it travels. Over dry land, the air can become very hot. Then, when the sun goes down, it cools off quickly. Over the water air heats up more slowly and cools off more slowly. These changes cause the movement of air,which we call wind.
Q. This passage is mainly about?
A new menace is cars-and worse, luxury Sedans and Sport Utility Vehicles(SUVs) which run on highly polluting diesel, and which now account for fully one-half of total car sales, up from under 30 percent a year ago. Although, growth of passenger vehicle sales has slowed down over the past year, the 20 year long trend of furious privatization of urban transport continue unabated. Private vehicles are choking roads, slowing down traffic-in particular public buses-and creating terrible jams and snarl ups in city after city. The introduction and rapid expansion of super expensive metro rail systems, which the poor cannot afford, have failed to slow down the runaway growth of private transport. There is little systematic effort except in a handful of cities to harvest rainwater and none at all at recycling water or curtailing its abuse by the rich through the flushing of wasteful toilets designed a century ago in Europe-even though water scarcity is acute and growing.

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 !

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 made him join the African National Congress?
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.

PASSAGE
A dolphin is an aquatic mammal. Dolphins are extremely intelligent and sociable animals and have their own way to communicate with each other using special sounds. Although they are often mistaken for fish, dolphins are actually mammals. They are members of the Cetacea (pronounced set-ay-shia) family, which also contains whales and porpoises. One way of telling the difference between a cetacean and a fish is by looking at their tails. You can tell a cetacean because their tail fins (called flukes) are horizontal and move up and down. Fish have vertical tails which move from side to side. A dolphin’s body is designed to help them move quickly and easily through water. The dolphin’s fluke propels it through the water. On its back is a curved dorsal fin and on each side of the dolphin is a pectoral fin. The bump on a dolphins head is known as the melon. They trap their prey by using their teeth. Dolphins use a type of sonar to detect where objects are around them. This is called echolocation. Echolocation works when a dolphin bounces a high pitched sound off an object and then listens for the echo to come back. It is a very useful way for dolphins to find food and navigate. Dolphins communicate with each other through clicks, squeaks and whistles. They use these special sounds to greet each other and to indicate if they are in distress. Dolphins live in the sea, but they can’t breathe under water! They breathe through a blowhole and have to come up for air every 15 minutes.
Q. Which of these help dolphins to navigate through the water?
