Directions : Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions that follow (Questions no. 59 to 64). Your answers to these questions should be based on the passage only.Passage 1 We must be very clear in ourselves what we want, clear what a human being must be, the total human being, not just the technological human being. If we concentrate very much on examinations, just on making the child clever, proficient in acquiring knowledge, while we neglect the other side, then the child will grow up into a one-sided human being. When we talk about a total human being, it is about inward and outward growth. The two must go together. That is the real issue in education to see that when the child leaves the school, he is well established in goodness, both outwardly and inwardly.
If we concentrate only on knowledge and proficiency, he grows differently. He is jealous, angry, frustrated, in despair, ambitious. So you will create a society in which there is always disorder, because you are emphasizing technology and proficiency in one field and neglecting the other field. Such societies are always at loggerheads with each other. They fight wars. There is unrest both within and outside.
So technology cannot produce a perfect or a good society. It may produce a great society, where there is no poverty, where there is material equality and so on. A great society is not necessarily a good society. A good society implies order. Order does not mean trains running on time, mail delivered regularly. It means something else. For a human being, order means order within himself. And such order will inevitably bring about a good society.
59. According to the passage, who is a one-sided human being ?
A. One who concentrates on examination
B. One who concentrates on technology and becomes clever
C. One who neglects the ‘other side’ of human beings
D. All of the above
ANSWER: D
SOLUTION: All of the above
60. According to the passage, if our education focuses only on knowledge and proficiency ,the result is
A. Disorder in the society
B. Anger and frustration
C. Trains run on time and mail is delivered regularly
D. Achieve material equality and poverty removal
ANSWER: A
SOLUTION: Disorder in the society61. According to the passage, ‘ A great society is not necessarily a good society’ means
A. A great society cannot become a good society
B. A good society cannot become a great society
C. A good society is necessarily a great society
D. None of the above
ANSWER: D
SOLUTION: None of the above
Passage 2
World Health Organization defines hygiene as ‘conditions and practices that help to maintain health and prevent the spread of diseases’. In a common man’s language, hygiene is often viewed as ‘cleanliness’. Today hygiene is related to an environment and set of practices which are necessary for leading a healthy and disease-free life. It is applicable to
domains like personal life, the field of medicine and community health, occupations, kitchen and food, places of community commingling, etc. In medicine, home and everyday life settings, practices for hygiene are employed to prevent incidence or spreading of diseases. In case of personal hygiene, it is not only for personal health and well-being but it also relates to social acceptance and image.
Though people often use ‘cleanliness’ and ‘hygiene’ interchangeably, they are dissimilar. Hygiene mostly means practices that prevent spread of disease-causing organisms, whereas cleanliness is a state of being clean or kept clean.
Personal hygiene is believed to elevate the status of a person in terms of acceptance by fellow human beings. People often alienate themselves from someone who has bad personal hygiene. Poor personal hygiene can affect social life, even to the extent of rendering a person an utter failure. They can be denied a job, a promotion or even an appointment.
It is estimated that a majority of the diseases and illnesses are caused by microbes which spread through touch. Hand washing and sanitizing the hands at appropriate times is very crucial for personal and community health. Hygiene as a culture and movement has become all the more important among communities in the wake of epidemics, endemic diseases and infections like bird-flu, chikungunya, etc.
62. Hygiene is necessary for communities
