Direction: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

Our world seems to be in the grip of speed age. Don't you see everyone in a great hurry to reach somewhere? God knows where and why? Out on the roads, fast moving vehicles are driven faster, pedestrians also appear to be running instead of walking, queue or no queue, hefty people push their way through the crowd, injuring or hurting women, old people or even small children. Doctors, lawyers, and even shopkeepers have no patience or time to listen to you, or attend to you. People have no time even to have their food peacefully and so 'superfast' food joints have sprung up. No surprise then that so many suffer from hypertension or heart diseases. Even nature seems to have joined this race. Years, months, weeks and days seem simply to fly a way as if to take mankind faster aster to the new century promising a brighter and happier era.

Direction: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

Children should be educated without pressure. They should enter into adulthood free from the damaging effects of tradition and fear. Free expression of thought should be given to the children. A child once asked Krishnamurthy, "Is it your hobby to given lectures? Don't you get tired of talking? Why are you doing it?"Krishnamurthy replied:"I am glad you asked that question. You know, if you love something, you never get tired of it. I mean love in which there is no desire of wanting something out of it. If you are talking because you are getting something out of it: money, reward, sense of your importance: then there is weariness. Then it has no meaning because it is only self-fulfillment, but if there is love in your heart, it is like a Fountain, always giving fresh water."
