Directions (101-110): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions.

A recent report in Newsweek says that in American colleges students of Asian origin outperform not only the minority groups students but the majority whites as well. Many of these students must be of Indian origin, and their achievement is something we can be proud of.

www.bankersadda.com | www.sscadda.com | www.careerpower.in | www.careeradda.co.in Page 10

It is unlikely that these talented youngsters will come back to India, and that is the familiar brain drain problem. However, recent statements by the nation’s policy makers indicate that the perception of this issue is changing. “Brain bank’ and not “brain drain” is the more appropriate idea, they suggest, since the expertise of Indians abroad is only deposited in other places and not lost.

This may be so, but this brain bank, like most of other banks, is one that primarily serves customers in the neighbor-hood. The skills of the Asian now excelling in America’s colleges will mainly help the USA. No matter how significant, what non-resident Indians do for India and what their counterparts do for other Asian lands in only a by-product.

But it is also necessary to ask, or be reminded, why Indians study more fruitfully when abroad. The Asians whose accomplishments Newsweek records would have probably had a very different fate if they had studied in India. In America they found elbow room, books and facilities not available and not likely to be available here. The need to prove themselves in their new country and the competition of an international standard they faced there must have cured mental and physical laziness. But other things helping them in America can be obtained here if we achieve a change in social attitudes, especially towards youth.

We need to learn to value individuals and their unique qualities more than conformity and respectability. We need to learn the language of encouragement to add to our skill in flattery. We might also learn to be less liberal with blame and less tight-fisted with appreciation, especially to those showing signs of independence. 101. What is unique about the Asian students as

compared to other groups of students in American colleges? 1) Asian students are of more mixing nature than other groups of students. 2) Asian students are the most successful academically. 3) Asian students get much attention in American colleges than any other group of students. 4) Asian students get easy availability of work in America than any other group of students. 5) None of these

102. What do you understand by the idea of ‘brain bank’? 1) the restoration of manpower 2) the number of manpower 3) wastage of our manpower 4) Indians gathering experience abroad 5) None of these

103. What is the basic difference between ‘brain bank’ and ‘brain drain’? 1) Whereas ‘brain drain’ means losing our talent, ‘brain bank’ means depositing our talent.

2) Whereas ‘brain drain’ means serving other countries, ‘brain bank’ means serving our own country. 3) Whereas ‘brain drain’ means getting no return for one’s work, ‘brain bank’ means becoming successful in life. 4) ‘brain drain’ is a national issue whereas ‘brain bank’ is a global concept. 5) None of these

104. In general, the Indian students studying in America. 1) can solve the brain drain problem because of recent changes in policy. 2) have a reputation for being excellent in all fields. 3) will not return to pursue their careers in India. 4) are behind the concept of brain bank. 5) are behind the concept of brain drain.

105. Which of the following is true in the context of the passage? 1) America is facing the brain problem. 2) ‘Brain bank’ is a term which has been talked about by American policy-makers. 3) Asian students cannot compete with the majority whites in American colleges. 4) The students of Asian origin in America include a fair number from India. 5) None of these

106. Which of the following is false in the context of the passage? 1) Asian students in America will be beneficial for that country. 2) Asian students are arrogant in their behavior and find hard to study abroad. 3) Indians do not study as fruitfully at home as they do abroad. 4) Indian policy-makers have talked about the concept of ‘brain bank’. 5) None of these

107. What makes Indian students excel in the area of education abroad as compared to that in their motherland? 1) the job opportunities abroad 2) the education-related facilities and proper environment 3) their promise to the family members 4) the cost incurred on getting their education abroad 5) None of these

108. The author feels that some of the conditions other than the level of facilities that make abroad attractive 1) are available in India but young people do not appreciate them. 2) can never be found here because we believe in western brand of education. 3) can also give respectability to our traditions and customs.

4) can be created if our attitudes and values change. 5) can be shared or borrowed from America.

Directions (111-120): Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. Close and confidential relations between Russia and India are based on the proximity of their fundamental national interests and rest upon the centuries-old history of peaceful and mutually beneficial contacts between the two nations. The strength of these bonds has been tested many times in critical situations. Time and again, in moments of crisis, both New Delhi and Moscow have turned to each other. India has been and remains, without any reservations, Russia’s closest and most reliable friend and partner. Of principal importance is the national consensus existing in the two countries regarding the necessity for developing further cooperation between both bilaterally and in the international arena. The intensity of political dialogue has been on a steady rise, embracing ever new challenges and issues emerging in the context of a rapidly-changing situation in the world. It is based on the convergence of views with regard to major problems of the present days. Summit-level talks between president VV Putin and prime minister AB Vajpayee and meeting of the ministers of foreign affairs, including their interaction at the UN, have become an annual feature. Trilateral interaction among Russia, India and China is gaining momentum and acquiring substance, Deliberations on a number of joint working groups set up by the foreign ministries are yielding noticeable results. The first rounds of the working group on global challenges and the working groups on international terrorism in Sep-Oct 2003 brought the two countries together as de facto allies, once again providing the effectiveness and regional security. Russia has supported the advancement of the process of normalization between India and Pakistan. Vajpayee’s 12 steps to peace initiative addressed to the leadership of Pakistan has received our full support. It provides a realistic and durable basis for the resumption of dialogue and settlement of all

outstanding problems between these two South Asian countries on the basis of the 1972 Shimla Accord and 1998 Lahore Declaration. No doubt, to make it possible, favourable conditions should be created. First of all, the acts of trans-border terrorism along the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir must be stopped. New Delhi’s views on the situation in Afghanistan and Iraq are consonant with the assessments of our diplomacy. Together we are doing our best to restore peaceful life there. We are consistently upholding the centrality of the coordinating role of the United Nations, and the necessity of concerted actions of the entire comity of nations when such crises with international ramifications take place. We have been successful jointly in mapping the means and avenues of expanding the scope of trade and economic cooperation. Highly productive deliberations have been held on the Intergovernmental Commission on Trade, Scientific, Technological and Cultural Cooperation. Experts are actively working out a mechanism for investing the rupee assets available to Russia as a result of the repayment of India’s debt into promising projects in both countries. The prospects of cooperation in this sphere give rise to optimism. Military and technical cooperation, being a significant and inalienable segment of the special nature of the bilateral relationship, is doing splendidly. A number of major deals in the pipeline are now being finalised. When signed, they will make a considerable contribution to strengthening India’s defence capability and security while promoting peace and stability in the region. Among the top priorities on the Russian-Indian agenda are also our traditionally warm people-to-people contacts and cooperation in the field of culture. An example of this is the successful functioning of the Russian-Indian International Roerich Memorial Trust in Naggar in Kullu Valley, Himachal Pradesh. Every year the Roerich Museum and Art Gallery there are visited by over 100,000 tourists from around the country and abroad. It is symbolic that as the prime minister visits Moscow, an exhibition on Russian culture is on in all major Indian metros, drawing large audiences. This colorful gala marks the renaissance of active cultural cooperation between the two countries and highlights the special spiritual affection the Russians and Indians have for each other. For many centuries, this magic bridge of culture, stretching over the Palmaris and the Himalayas, has spanned our nations, and together with our Indian friends we keep walking along it towards the future horizons of our strategic partnership. 111.
