Question # 1

How much environment pollution has taken place in the developing and the developed world?

Choose an answer

There has been a marginal pollution of environment in the developed world and extensive damage in the developing world

There has been a considerable pollution of environment all over the globe

There has been an extensive environmental degradation both in the developed and the developing world

The environmental pollution that has taken place all over the globe continues to be a matter of speculation and enquiry

Is this work of incessant and feverish activity.men have little time to think,much less to consider ideals and objectives yet how are we to act even in the present unless we know which way we are going and what our objectives are?It is only in the peaceful atmosphere of a university that these basic problems can be adequately considered.It is only when the young men and wpmen who are in the university today and on whom the burden of life's problem will fall tomorrow,learn to have clear objectives and standards of values that there is hope for the next generation.The past generation produced some great men but as a generation it led the world repeatedly to disaster.Two world wars are the price that has been paid for the lack of wisdom on men's part in this generation.I think that there is always a close and intimate relationship between the end we aim at and the means adopted to attain it,Even if the end is right but the means are wrong,it will vitiate the end or divert us in a wrong direction.Means and ends are thus intimately and inextricably connected and cannot be separated.That indeed,has been the lesson of old taught us by many great men in the past but unfortunately it is seldom remembered.v.The word 'vitiate' used in the second paragraph means:

The public distribution system, which provides food at low prices, is a subject of vital concern. There is a growing realization that though Ethiopia has enough food to feed its masses two square meals a day, the monster of starvation and food insecurity continues to haunt the poor in the country. Increasing the purchasing power of the poor through providing productive employment leading to rising income, and thus good standard of living is the ultimate objective of public policy. However, till then, there is a need to provide assured supply of food through a restructured, more efficient and decentralized public distribution system (PDS). Although the PDS is extensive - it is one of the largest such systems in the world - it has yet to reach the rural poor and the far off places. It remains an urban phenomenon, with the majority of the rural poor still out of its reach due to lack of economic and physical access. The poorest in the cities and the migrants are left out, for they generally do not possess ration cards. The allocation of PDS supplies in big cities is larger than in rural areas. In view of such deficiencies in the system, the PDS urgently needs to be streamlined. In addition, considering the large food grains production combined with food subsidy on one hand and the continuing slow starvation and dismal poverty of the rural population on the other, there is a strong case for making PDS target group oriented. The growing salaried class is provided job security., regular income, and percent insulation agaifl inflation. These gains of development have hot percolated down to the vast majority of our working population. If one compares only dearness allowance to the employees in public and private sector and looks at its growth in the past few years, the rising food subsidy is insignificant to the point of inequity. The food subsidy is a kind of D.A. to the poor, the self-employed and those in the unorganized sector of the economy. However, what is most unfortunate is that out of the large budget of the so-called food subsidy, the major part of it is administrative cost and wastages. A small portion of the above budget goes to the real consumer and an even lesser portion to the poor who are in real need. It is true that subsidies should not become a permanent feature, except for the destitute, disabled widows and the old. It is also true that subsidies often create a psychology of dependence and hence is habit-forming, killing the general initiative of the people. By making PDS target group oriented, not only the poorest and neediest would be reached without additional cost, but it will actually cut overall costs incurred on large cities and for better off localities. When the food and food subsidy are limited the rural and urban poor should have the priority in the PDS supplies. The PDS should be closely linked with programs of employment generation and nutrition improvement.

Power and possession have been central pursuits of modem civilization for a long time. They blocked out or distorted other features of the western renaissance (revival) which promised so much for humanity. What people have been and are still being taught to prize is money, success, and control over the lives of others, acquisition of more and more objects. Modern social, political, and economic systems, whether capitalist, fascist or communist, reject in their working the basic principle that the free and creative enfoldment of every man, woman and child is the true measure of the worth of any society. Such enfoldment requires understanding and imagination, integrity and compassion, cooperation among people and harmony between the human species and the rest of nature. Acquisitiveness and the pursuit of power have made the modern man an aggressor against everything that is non-human, an exploiter, and oppressor of those who are poor, meek, and unorganized, a pathological type which hates and distrusts the world and suffers from both acute loneliness and false pride. The need for a new renaissance is deeply felt by those sensitive and conscientious men and women who not only perceive the dimensions of the crisis of our age but who also realize that only through conscious and cooperative human effort may this crisis be met and probably even overcome.

The low unit of gas is a real temptation to anyone choosing between gas and electrical processes.But gas-fired processes are often less efficient, require more floor space,take longer and produce more variable product quality,the drawbacks negate the savings many businesses believe they make,By contrast, electricity harnesses a unique range of technologies unavailable with gas and many electric processes are well over 90 percent so far less energy is wasted with benefits in terms of products quality and overall cleanliness it can so often be the better and cheaper choice Isn't that tempting?ii.What was the writer mean by variable quality?

Choose an answer

The quality of the products cannot be assessed

Products from gas-fired processes are inefficient

The kind of products vary from time to time

The quality of the products is not uniform

Democratic societies from the earliest times have expected their governments to protect the weak against the strong. No 'era of good feeling' can justify discharging the police force or giving up the idea of public control over concentrated private wealth. On the other hand, it is obvious that a spirit of self-denial and moderation on the part of those who hold economic power will greatly soften the demand for absolute equality. Men are more interested in freedom and security than in an equal distribution of wealth. The extent to which Government must interfere with business, therefore, is not exactly measured by the extent to which economic power is concentrated into a few hands. The required degree of government interference depends mainly on whether economic powers are oppressively used, and on the necessity of keeping economic factors in a tolerable state of balance.

But with the necessity of meeting all these dangers and threats to liberty, the powers of government are unavoidably increased, whichever political party may be in office. The growth of government is a necessary result of the growth of technology and of the problems that go with the use of machines and science. Since the Government in our nation, must take on more powers to meet its problems, there is no way to preserve freedom except by making democracy more powerful.

Q:Era of good feeling' in the paragraph refers to

Educational planning should aim at meeting the educational needs of the entire population of all age groups. While the traditional structure of education as a three layer hierarchy from the primary stage to the university represents the core, we should not overlook the periphery which is equally important. Under modern conditions, workers need to rewind, or renew their enthusiasm, or strike out in a new direction, or improve their skills as much as any university professor. The retired and the aged have their needs as well. Educational planning, in their words, should take care of the needs of everyone. Our structures of education have been built up on the assumption that there is a terminal point to education. This basic defect has become all the more harmful today. A UNESCO report entitled 'Learning to Be' prepared by Edgar Faure and others in 1973 asserts that the education of children must prepare the future adult for various forms of self-learning. A viable education system of the future should consist of modules with different kinds of functions serving a diversity of constituents. And performance, not the period of study, should be the basis for credentials. The writing is already on the wall. In view of the fact that the significance of a commitment of lifelong learning and lifetime education is being discussed only in recent years even in educationally advanced countries, the possibility of the idea becoming an integral part of educational thinking seems to be a far cry. For, to move in that direction means such more than some simple rearrangement of the present organization of education. But a good beginning can be made by developing Open University programs for older learners of different categories and introducing extension services in the conventional colleges and schools. Also these institutions should learn to cooperate with the numerous community organizations such as libraries, museums, municipal recreational programs, health services etc.

Q:According to the author, what measures should open university adopt to meet modern conditions?

Choose an answer

Develop various programs for adult learners

Open more colleges on traditional lines

Cater to the needs of those who represent 'core'

Most citizens are very conscientious about observing a law when they can see the reason behind it. For instance, there has been very little need to actively enforce the recently-Implemented law that increased the penalty for motorists caught leaving a gas station without paying for gas they had pumped into their vehicles. This is because citizens are very concerned about the high cost of gasoline and they know that stealing gas will only further increase the price of gasoline for everyone.

Q:With which of the following statements would the author of this passage be most likely to agree?

Choose an answer

The increased penalty alone is a significant motivation for most citizens to obey the law.

There are still too many inconsiderate citizens in the local community

High gasoline prices can be brought down if everyone does his or her part and pays for the gasoline they use at the pumps

Society should make an effort to teach citizens the reasons for its laws
