2. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
The revolution in information technology (IT), far from helping India to leapfrog to a post-industrial
society, threatens to rupture the social fabric by enriching a few at the cost of many.
In a very short time and quite unexpectedly, India has risen to considerable eminence in the world of
information technology. This year, software products are expected to account for $ 5.7 billion in
exports and will account for a quarter of the growth in the economy, which is expected to grow nearly
seven per cent. Within eight years, predicts a recent study by McKinsey & Co. and the National
Association of Software & Service Companies (Nasscom), India’s annual IT exports could hit $ 50
billion about 33 per cent of global software exports. Such a surge is expected to generate 2.2 million
jobs—and push our growth rate near the double digits that many East Asian Tigers enjoyed before the
1997 crash.
For the rapidly growing middle class, which was desperate to make its presence felt but remained
mired in the great Indian outback of the global economy and regretfully watched the industrial
revolution pass it by, this is the moment they have been waiting for. When countries like Japan and
Germany, the objects of Indian admiration, should come knocking on our doors to solicit our talent to
invigorate their industry, it is indeed redemption of sorts. And IT is the cause of it all.
The big question is, will IT do an encore for India as a nation, and not just for a wafer thin percentage
of IT-literate Indians, mostly the poster boys of the IITs?
IT has, as yet, failed to touch the lives of the average citizen and India is nowhere close to being a
knowledge economy or society. As per the International Data Corporation (IDC), in a survey of 55
countries, India ranks 54th on its Information Society Index.
The fact is, it is a straightforward reflection of the deep inequality of our education system which
breeds a few ‘geniuses’ at the cost of the entire nation. A study by former director of the National
Centre for Software Technology, R. Narasimhan, points out that nowhere is the digital divide more
glaring than in IT education. The report warns that India’s ‘obsession’ with the software industry and
its exports orientation is leading to the churning out of unemployable students on one hand and bright
whiz-kids on the other. While the latter are lured away by overseas employers, the former remain
unemployable.
Narasimhan cautions against the ‘hype’ associated with the phenomenal growth of India’s software
industry defying rational explanations and built up into a ‘mystique of sort’ which breeds false hopes.
.
India’s software industry is a poor employment generator. In the mid-Nineties, some 20,000 people
were actively employed in software export services. In contrast, there were three million registered
unemployed graduates in the Nineties. While the ‘Narasimhan study doesn’t mention number of hobs
lost due to computerisation, one could comfortably add a million to the number.

Much before medical science discovered it, Reader’s Digest came out with the prescription – Laughter is the
Best Medicine. Newspapers and magazines which regularly run humour columns are, therefore, doing their
bit to keep the readers in good health. Reading light articles, whether they be satirical, comical or just
humorous, relieves the tension.
It is said that if you laugh for ten minutes, you will be in a better position to put up with pain for two hours.
According to US researchers, laughter is a good antidote to stress that tones up the system. Facial laugh
muscles instruct the brain to feel good regardless of how you feel.
According to a French doctor, laughter deepens breathing, improves blood circulation, speeds up the process
of tissue healing and stabilizes many body functions. In short, it acts as power drug with no side effects.
Researches state that laughter stimulates production of ‘beta-endorphins’, natural painkillers in the body and
improves digestion. Those who laugh are less prone to digestive disorders and ulcers.
Some people in France have made it a career. You can hire a ‘Jovialist’ who cracks jokes and laughs and
promises to make you dissolve your worries in helpless laughter.
A word of caution. Although laughing is a good exercise for toning up the facial muscles, laughing at others
‘expense, particularly at their disabilities, is in bad taste and to be avoided. Secondly, laughing with food in
mouth I dangerous as the foodstuff can get into the windpipe and may choke the respiratory system.
Laughter comes best when it is free of encumbrances, whether it is constricting food or the need to humour
the boss.

12. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions. (2x4=8)
Conversation is indeed the most easily teachable of all arts. All you need to do in order to become a
good conversationalist is to find a subject that interests you and your listeners. There are, for
example, numberless hobbies to talk about. But the important
Thing is that you must talk about other fellow’s hobby rather than your own. Therein lies the secret
of your popularity. Talk to your friends about the things that interest them, and you will get a
reputation for good fellowship, charming wit, and a brilliant mind. There is nothing that pleases
people so much as your interest in their interest.
It is just as important to know what subjects to avoid and what subjects to select for good
conversation. If you don’t want to be set down as a wet blanket or a bore, be careful to avoid certain
unpleasant subjects. Avoid talking about yourself, unless you are asked to do so. People are
interested in their own problems not in yours. Sickness or death bores everybody. The only one who
willingly listens to such talk is the doctor, but he gets paid for it.
To be a good conversationalist you must know not only what to say, but how also to say it. Be
mentally quick and witty. But don’t hurt others with your wit. Finally try to avoid mannerism in your
conversation. Don’t bite your lips or click your tongue, or roll your eyes or use your hands
excessively as you speak.
Don’t be like that Frenchman who said, “How can I talk if you hold my hand?”
a) Make notes on the contents of the above paragraph in any format, using abbreviations. Also,
