READING COMPREHENSION(41-45):
The strength of the electronics industry in Japan is the Japanese ability to organise production and
marketing rather than their achievements in original research. The British are generally recognised as a far
more inventive collection of individuals, but never seem able to exploit what they invent. There are many
examples, from the TSR Z hovercraft, high speed train and Sinclair scooter to the Triumph, BSA and
Norton Motorcycle which all prove this sad rule. The Japanese were able to exploits their strengths in
marketing and development many years ago, and their success was at first either not understood in the
West or was dismissed as something which could have been produced only at their low price. They were
sold because they were cheap copies of other people's ideas churned out of a workhouse which was
dedicated to hard grind above all else.

thinking. The difference with the Indian perception, I think here is, that while the Indians reacted as
negatively to what the Soviet governments did to its people in the name of good governance (witness the
imprisonment of Boris Pasternak and the formation of an international committee to put pressure for his
release with Jawaharlal Nehru at its head), they took the pain not to condemn the people of that broad
country in black and white terms; they understood that mingled in the shades of grey were grains of
uniqueness (The Russians have never failed that characteristic in themselves; they have twice
experimented with completely different ideologies, Communism and Capitalism both in the space of a
century).

D. The literature, art and music received a setback during the communist regime in Russia

C. deliberate uprooting and mass migration of ethnic people in the name of industrialization.

Opera refers to a dramatic art form, originating in Europe, in which the emotional content is
conveyed to the audience as much through music, both vocal and instrumental, as it is through the lyrics.
By contrast, in musical theater an actor's dramatic performance is primary, and the music plays a lesser
role. The drama in opera is presented using the primary elements of theater such as scenery, costumes,
and acting. However, the words of the opera, or libretto, are sung rather than spoken. The singers are
accompanied by a musical ensemble ranging from a small instrumental ensemble to a full symphonic
orchestra.
41. It is pointed out in the reading that opera ----.
A) has developed under the influence of musical theater B) is a drama sung with the accompaniment of
an orchestraC) is not a high-budget production
D) is often performed in

READING COMPREHENSION(41-43):
Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them helping drowning
sailors have been common since Roman times. The more we learn about dolphins, the more we realize
that their society is more complex than people previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when
they are ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest in the community, as we do. Some
scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language but it is much more probable that they
communicate with each other without needing words. Could any of these mammals be more intelligent
than man? Certainly the most common argument in favor of man's superiority over them that we can kill
them more easily than they can kill us is the least satisfactory. On the contrary, the more we discover
about these remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior when we destroy them.
41. It is clear from the passage that dolphins ----.
A) don't want to be with us as much as we want to be with them
B) are proven to be less intelligent than once thought
C) have a reputation for being friendly to humans
D) are the most powerful creatures that live in the oceans

READING COMPREHENSION(41-45): It is to progress in the human sciences that we must look to
undo the evils which have resulted from a knowledge of physical world hastily and superficially acquired
by population unconscious of the changes in themselves that the new knowledge has imperative. The road
to a happier world than any known in the past lies open before us if atavistic destructive passions can be
kept in leash while the necessary adaptations are made. Fears are inevitable in time, but hopes are equally
rational and far more likely to bear good fruit. We must learn to think rather less of the dangers to be
avoided than of the good that will lie within our grasp if we can believe in it and let it dominate our
thoughts. Science, whatever unpleasant consequences it may have by the way, is in its very nature a
liberator, a liberator of bondage to physical nature and in time to come, a liberator from the weight of
destructive passions. We are on the threshold of utter disaster or unprecedentely glorious achievement. No
previous age has been fraught with problems so momentous; and it is to science that we must look to for a
happy future.

READING COMPREHENSION (41-45): What needs to be set right is our approach to work. It is a
common sight in our country of employees reporting for duty on time and at the same time doing little
work. If an assessment is made of time they spent in gossiping, drinking tea, eating "pan" and smoking
cigarettes, it will be shocking to know that the time devoted to actual work is negligible. The problem is
the standard which the leadership in administration sets for the staff. Forgot the ministers because they
mix politics and administration. What do top bureaucrats do? What do the below down officials do? The
administration set up remains week mainly because the employees do not have the right example to
follow and they are more concerned about being in the good books of the bosses than doing work.

A. are quite punctual but not duty conscious
B. are not punctual, but somehow manage to complete
their work

screaming. In a vivid sequence of pictures this dream dramatised for Harold what he had never been able
