विनम्रता का यह कथन बहुत ठीक है कि विनम्रता के बिना स्वतंत्रता का कोई अर्थ नहीं। इस बात को सब लोग मानते हैं कि आत्मसंस्कार के लिए थोड़ी बहुत मानसिक स्वतंत्रता परमावश्यक है – चाहे उस स्वतंत्रता में अभिमान और नम्रता दोनों का मेल हो और चाहे वह नम्रता ही से उत्पन्न हो। यह बात तो निश्चित है कि जो मनुष्य मर्यादापूर्वक जीवन व्यतीत करना चाहता है उसके लिए वह गुण अनिवार्य है, जिससे आत्मनिर्भरता आती है और जिससे अपने पैरों के बल खड़ा होना आता है। युवा को यह सदा स्मरण रखना चाहिए कि वह बहुत कम बातें जानता है, अपने ही आदर्श से वह बहुत नीचे है और उसकी आकांक्षाएँ उसकी योग्यता से कहीं बढ़ी हुई हैं। उसे इस बात का ध्यान रखना चाहिए कि वह अपने बड़ों का सम्मान करे, छोटे और बराबर वालों से कोमलता का व्यवहार करे, ये बातें आत्म-मर्यादा के लिए आवश्यक हैं। यह सारा संसार, जो कुछ हम हैं और जो कुछ हमारा है – हमारा शरीर, हमारी आत्मा, - हमारे कर्म, हमारे भोग, हमारे घर और बाहर की दशा हमारे बहुत से अवगुण, और थोड़े गुण सब इसी बात की आवश्यकता प्रकट करते हैं कि हमें अपनी आत्मा को नम्र रखना चाहिए। नम्रता से मेरा अभिप्राय दब्बूपन से नहीं है जिसके कारण मनुष्य दूसरों का मुँह ताकता है जिससे उसका संकल्प क्षीण और उसकी प्रज्ञा मंद हो जाती है, जिसके कारण बढ़ने के समय भी पीछे रहता है और अवसर पड़ने पर झट से किसी बात का निर्णय नहीं कर सकता। मनुष्य का बेड़ा उसके अपने ही हाथ में है, उसे वह चाहे जिधर ले जाए। सच्ची आत्मा वही है जो प्रत्येक दशा में प्रत्येक स्थिति के बीच अपनी राह आप निकालती है।

Q. दब्बूपन होने से मनुष्य का क्या क्षीण हो जाता है ?

निदानात्मक परीक्षण में किसे महत्व दिया जाता है?

योजना शिक्षण विधि के प्रवर्तक है।

जाति-प्रथा को यदि श्रम-विभाजन मान लिया जाए तो यह स्वाभाविक विभाजन नहीं है क्योंकि यह मनुष्य की रुचि पर आधारित है। कुशल व्यक्ति या सक्षम श्रमिक समाज का निर्माण करने के लिए यह आवश्यक है कि हम व्यक्ति की क्षमता इस सीमा तक विकसित करें, जिससे वह अपने पेशे या कार्य का चुनाव स्वयं कर सके। इस सिद्धांत के विपरीत जाति-प्रथा का दूषित सिद्धांत यह है कि इससे मनुष्य के प्रशिक्षण अथवा उसकी निजी क्षमता का विचार किए बिना, दूसरे ही दृष्टिकोण जैसे माता-पिता के सामाजिक स्तर के अनुसार पहले से ही अर्थात गर्भधारण के समय से ही मनुष्य का पेशा निर्धारित कर दिया जाता है।
जाति-प्रथा पेशे का दोषपूर्ण पूर्वनिर्धारण ही नहीं करती, बल्कि मनुष्य को जीवन-भर के लिए एक पेशे में बाँध भी देती है, भले ही पेशा अनुपयुक्त या अपर्याप्त होने के कारण वह भूखों मर जाए। आधुनिक युग में यह स्थिति प्रायः आती है क्योंकि उद्योग धंधे की प्रक्रिया व तकनीक में निरंतर विकास और कभी-कभी अकस्मात परिवर्तन हो जाता है, जिसके कारण मनुष्य को अपना पेशा बदलने की आवश्यकता पड़ सकती है और यदि प्रतिकूल परिस्थितियों में भी मनुष्य को अपना पेशा बदलने की स्वतंत्रता न हो तो इसके लिए भूखे मरने के अलावा क्या चारा रह जाता है? हिंदू धर्म की जाति प्रथा किसी भी व्यक्ति को ऐसा पेशा चुनने की अनुमति नहीं देती है, जो उसका पैतृक पेशा न हो, भले ही वह उसमें पारंगत है। इस प्रकार पेशा-परिवर्तन की अनुमति न देकर जाति-प्रथा भारत में बेरोजगारी का एक प्रमुख व प्रत्यक्ष कारण बनी हुई है।

Q. जातिप्रथा के दोषपूर्ण सिद्धांत को दूषित क्यों कहा गया है?

वृक्ष हों भले खड़े,

आधुनिकतावाद, अपनी व्यापक परिभाषा में, आधुनिक सोच, चरित्र, या प्रथा है अधिक विशेष रूप से, यह शब्द उन्नीसवीं सदी के अंत और बीसवीं सदी के आरम्भ में मूल रूप से पश्चिमी समाज में व्यापकतम पैमाने पर और सुदूर परिवर्तनों से उत्पन्न होने वाली सांस्कृतिक प्रवृत्तियों के एक समूह एवं सम्बद्ध सांस्कृतिक आन्दोलनों की एक सारणी दोनों का वर्णन करता है। यह शब्द अपने भीतर उन लोगों की गतिविधियों और उत्पादन को समाहित करता है जो एक उभरते सम्पूर्ण औद्योगीकृत विश्व की नवीन आर्थिक, सामाजिक एवं राजनीतिक स्थितियों में पुराने होते जा रहे कला, वास्तुकला, साहित्य, धार्मिक विश्वास, सामाजिक संगठन और दैनिक जीवन के "पारंपरिक" रूपों को महसूस करते थे। आधुनिकतावाद ने ज्ञानोदय की सोच की विलंबकारी निश्चितता को और एक करुणामय, सर्वशक्तिशाली निर्माता के अस्तित्व को भी मानने से अस्वीकार कर दिया। इसका मतलब यह नहीं है कि सभी आधुनिकतावादी लोगों या आधुनिकतावादी आन्दोलनों ने या तो धर्म को या ज्ञानोदय की सोच के पहलुओं को मानने से इंकार कर दिया है, इसके बजाय कि आधुनिकतावाद को अतीत काल की ''सूक्तियों'' के पूछताछ के रूप में देखा जा सकता है। आधुनिकतावाद की एक मुख्य विशेषता आत्म-चेतना है। इसकी वजह से अक्सर रूप और कार्य पर प्रयोग किया जाता है जो प्रक्रियाओं और प्रयुक्त सामग्रियों की तरफ (और मतिहीनता की अगली प्रवृत्ति की तरफ) ध्यान आकर्षित करता है। "मेक इट न्यू!" के लिए कवि एज़्रा पाउंड पर रूप निदर्शनात्मक निषेधाज्ञा लग गई थी। आधुनिकतावादियों के "नव निर्माण" में एक नया ऐतिहासिक युग शामिल था या नहीं, यह अब बहस का मुद्दा बना हुआ है।

Directions: Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. 
Nature is an infinite source of beauty. Sunrise and sunset, mountains and rivers, lakes and glaciers, forests and fields provide joy and bliss to the human mind and heart for hours together. Everything in nature is splendid and divine. Every day and every season of the year has a peculiar beauty to unfold. Only one should have eyes to behold it and a heart to feel it like the English poet William Wordsworth who after seeing daffodils said: And then my heart with pleasure fills and dances with the daffodils?
Nature is a great teacher. Early man was thrilled with the beauty and wonders of nature. The Aryans worshipped nature. One can learn lessons in the vast school of nature. Unfortunately, the strife, the stress and the tension of modern life have made people immune to the beauties of nature. Their life is so full of care that they have no time to stand and stare. They cannot enjoy the beauty of lowing rivers, swinging trees, flying birds and majestic mountains and hills. There is, however, a cry to go back to the village from the concrete and artificial jungle of cities. Hence the town planners of today pay special attention to providing enough natural scenic spots in town planning To develop a balanced personality, one needs to have a healthy attitude which can make us appreciate and enjoy the beauty of nature. There is another balm to soothe our tired souls and listless minds than the infinite nature all around us. We should enjoy it fully to lead a balanced and harmonious life, full of peace and tranquility.

Q. According to the author of the passage, Nature:
(a) is the ultimate salvation of man
(b) is the creator of this universe
(c) is abundantly glorious and divine
(d) maintains homeostasis in human beings

While writing, a student finds difficulty in expressing his/her views clearly due to a lack of vocabulary. A possible solution would be the following:

Direction: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the most appropriate options:
A duty is an obligation. It is something we owe to others as social beings when we live together. We must let others live with us. My right of living implies my duty to my fellow beings to allow them the same conditions of life. In fact, rights and duties are correlated. What is a right in regard to one may be a duty in regard to others Rights and duties are two sides of the same coin. We should always observe from the standpoint of others. Moral duty is more effective than legal rights. A moral duty is that which is binding upon the people on moral grounds. It is my moral duty to help the poor because of being a member of the society.
I must try to create conditions that contribute to the welfare of humanity. Similarly, I owe a duty to my parents—to be obedient and respectful to them. This duty originates from the sense of responsibility which is directly related to our conscience. So, this is concerned with a moral duty which any person owes without a legal bondage.
A sense of duty is paramount for the proper development of civilization. Hypocrisy is quite reverse to the sense of duty. It involves wickedness, while duty involves sincerity and faithfulness.

Q. The word ‘always’ in “We should always observe from the standpoint of others” is a/an ______.

Direction: Read the following passage and answer the question. (choose the most appropriate answers)
When another old cave is discovered in the South France, it is not usually news. Rather, it is an ordinary event. Such discoveries are so frequent these days that hardly anybody pays heed to them. However, when the Lascaux cave complex was discovered in 1940, the world was amazed. Painted directly on its walls were hundreds of scenes showing how people lived thousands of years ago. The scenes show people hunting animals , such as bison or wild cats. Other images depict birds and, most noticeably, horses, which appear in more than 300 wall images, by far outnumbering all other animals. Early artists drawing these animals accomplished a monumental difficult task. They did not limit themselves to the easily accessible walls but carried their painting materials to spaces that required climbing steep walls or crawling into narrow passages in the Lascaux complex. Unfortunately, the paintings have been exposed to the destructive action of water and temperature changes, which easily wear the images away. Because the Lascaux caves have many entrances, air movement has also damaged the images inside, Although they are not out in the open air, where natural light would have destroyed them long ago, many of the images have deteriorated and are barely recognizable. To prevent further damage, the site was closed to tourists in 1963, 23 years after it was discovered.

Q. According to the Passage, which animals appear most often on the cave walls ?

Direction: Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention.
The big fuss about consensus management is an issue that boils down to a lot of noise about not much. The consensus advocates are great admirers of the Japanese management style. Consensus is what Japan is famous for. Well, I know the Japanese fairly well: They still remember Douglas MacArthur with respect, and they still bow down to their Emperor. In my dealings with them, I found that they talk a lot about consensus, but there's always one guy behind the scenes who ends up making the tough decisions. It doesn't make sense to me to think that Mr. Toyoda or Mr. Morita of Sony sits around in committee meetings and says, "We've got to get everybody in this organization, from the janitor up, to agree with this move". The Japanese believe in their workers' involvement early on in the decision-making process and in feedback from employees. And they probably listen better than we do. But you can bet that when the chips are down, the yen stops at the top guy's desk. So, we're wasting time trying to Direction: Read the passage given below and then answer the questions given below the passage. Some words may be highlighted for your attention.

Business structures are microcosms of other structures. There were no corporations in the fifteenth century. But there were families. There were city governments, provinces, and armies. There was the Church. All of them had, for lack of a better word, a pecking order.
Why? Because that's the only way you can steer clear of anarchy. Otherwise, you'll have somebody come in one morning and tell you: "Yesterday I got tired of painting red convertibles, so today I switched to all baby-blues on my own". You'll never get anything done right that way.
What's to admire about consensus management anyway? By its very nature, it's slow. It can never be daring. There can never be real accountability - or flexibility. About the only plus that I've been able to figure out is that consensus management means consistency of direction and objectives. And so much consistency can become faceless, and that's a problem too. In any event, I don't think it can work in this country. The fun of business for entrepreneurs, big or small, lies in the free enterprise system, not in the greatest agreement by the greatest number.
