RD : When you were in prison all those years ago on Robben Island and elsewhere, was there something that came back to you, something you had either in your mind, a message or passage from a book, a song, something that helped sustain you and keep up your spirits?
Mandela : There was a poem by an English poet, W. E. Henley, called Invictus. The last lines go :

Ha long bay is the premier tourist destination in northern Vietnam. The vast majority of visitors come on organized tours from Hanoi, traveling by road to Ha Long City on the bays northern shore.

[passage-header]Read the following passage and answer the question given after it.[/passage-header]The dainty swallow is known to be a great airborne, acrobatic artist, but its eating habits may come as a surprise. It needs to devour nearly a thousand tiny insects each day to keep its supple body energized. These black and white birds are found in the countryside, especially near water bodies and human habitations. Unlike birds who peck at insects on trees or on the ground, swallows feed on flying insects, houseflies, mosquitoes, gnats, midges, etc. They spend most of the time in flight and are natural hunters of flying insects. They play a role in our health by reducing the numbers of malaria and dengue-causing mosquitoes. Their bodies and wings allow incredible maneuverability and precision in flight. Their short, wide bills help them to feed as they sweep through clouds of swarming insects near water and grassland bits and above trees.

[passage-header]Read the passage given below and answer the question that follows:[/passage-header]The purpose of education is to make the student an expert in his subject. This must be clearly understood, and mere muddling through lessons, lectures, books, and passing examinations are relegated to secondary importance as a means to the end, which is excellence in the field chosen. But there are so many fields, and no man can become an expert in all the fields. It is necessary to decide which fields are the important ones that a man should know well. It is clear that one's own work is the most important. This has been realized and modern civilization has accordingly provided vocational education. It is now possible to acquire high professional skill in various fields such as medicine, engineering production, commerce and so on, but with the good and bad mixed together, and no standard for guidance.
