many days, the hunter kept track of the

antelope's movements. He realised that the
antelope was remarkably vigilant and fleet footed
animal that it would be virtually impossible for
him to track him down. However, he had a
weakness for that particular tree. The crafty
concluded that he could use this weakness to
capture him.
Early one morning, the hunter entered the
forest with some logs of wood. He climbed the tree
and put up a machan (platform used by hunters)
on one of its branches by tying the logs together.
Having set his trap at the foot of the tree, he then
took up position on the machan and waited for
the antelope. He strewed a lot of fruits on the
ground beneath the tree to conceal the trap and
lure the antelope. Soon, the antelope came
strolling along. He was very hungry and was
eagerly looking forward to his usual breakfast of
delicious ripe fruits. On the tree-top, the hunter,
having sighted him, sat with bated breath, willing
him to come closer and step into his trap.
However, the antelope was no fool. As he neared
the tree he stopped short. The number of fruits
lying under the tree seemed considerably more
than usual. Surely, something was amiss,
decided the antelope. He paused just out of reach
of the tree and carefully began examining the
ground. Now, he saw what distinctly looked like
a human footprint. Without going closer, he
looked suspiciously at the tree. The hunter was
well hidden in its thick foliage, nevertheless the
antelope, on close scrutiny, was now sure that
his suspicions had not been unfounded. He could
see a corner of the machan peeping out of the
leaves. Meanwhile the hunter was getting
desperate. Suddenly, he had a brainwave. 'Let me
try throwing some fruit at him,' he thought. So
the hunter plucked some choice fruits and hurled
them in the direction of the antelope. Alas,
instead of luring him closer, it only confirmed
his fears! Raising his voice, he spoke in the
direction of the tree- "Listen, my dear tree, until
now you have always dropped your fruits on the
earth. Today, you have started throwing them at
me! This is the most unlikely action of yours and
I'm not sure I like the change! Since you have
changed your habits, I too will change mine. I
will get my fruits from a different tree from now
on. The hunter realised that the antelope had
outsmarted him with his cleverness. Parting the
leaves to reveal himself, he grabbed his javelin
and flung it wildly at the antelope. But the clever
antelope was well prepared for any such action
on his part. Giving a saucy chuckle, he leapt
nimbly out of the harm's way.

alternatives and mark it in the Answer-Sheet.
PASSAGE 1
Long time ago, in a forest, there lived a young
antelope. He was fond of the fruits of a particular
tree. In a village bordering the forest, there lived
a hunter who captured and killed antelopes for
various reasons. He used to set traps for animals
under fruit- bearing trees. When the animal
came to eat the fruit, it would be caught in the
trap. He would then take it away and kill it for its
meat. One day, while visiting the forest in search
of game, the hunter happened to see the antelope
under its favourite tree, eating fruit. He was
delighted. "What a big, plump antelope!' he
thought. 'I must catch him. I will get a lot of
money from selling his meat.' Thereafter, for

doubts that something was amiss ?
(A) considerably more than usual number
of fruits.
(B) a human footprint
(C) seeing a machan hidden in leaves
(D) changed behaviour of the tree
PASSAGE 2
The villager has customarily been very
conservative in his attitude and approach. He is
reluctant to change his traditional way of
thinking and doing things. His attitude, in many
aspects, is : 'homemade is best'. For instance,
most cattle-farmers in the villages, prefer to feed
their cows and buffaloes with a home-mix
comprising local oilseeds like mustard or
cottonseed, pulses, jiggery, salt etc. It takes
numerous visits, hard-convincing, dally trials and
experience to convince the rural cattle farmer
that compound feeds, scientifically formulated,
improve t he yields of milk, without any
incremental costs.
The age-old values and attitude towards
caste, creed, woman, time and money take time
to change. The villager has traditionally been a
believer in the philosophy of 'karma' or 'fate'. He
has found it more convenient to blame his
economic destitution, poor living conditions and
straitened social status on 'bhagya', 'karma' or
'fate'. The security that the villagers find in the
'status quo', acts as a discentive to change and
experiment, In the short run, many of these
antiquated attitudes, value-system and outlooks
are changing, due to improved levels of awareness
and education. However, the rate of change is
sluggish. Attitudes have fossilised over the
centuries, do take time to change.
124. When will you call a person conservative
in his attitude and approach?
(A) When he likes to try out every new idea
before accepting it.
(B) When he sticks to old ways of thinking
and doing.
(C) When he solves his problems through
tried out methods.
(D) When he imputes motives to changeagents.
125. What does the phrase 'homemade is best'
imply ?
(A) The best should not be discarded.
(B) Change for the sake of change is not good.
(C) People should go in for swadeshi
because it is home-made.
(D) Whatever is being practiced is better
than what is new.

You might never fail on the scale I did, but

some failure in life is inevitable. It is impossible
to live without failing at something, unless you
live so cautiously that you might as well not have
lived at all in which case, you fail by default.
Failure gave me an inner security that I
had never attained by passing examinations.
Failure taught me things about myself that I could
have learned no other way. I discovered that I
had a strong will, and was more discipline than I
had suspected; I also found out that I had friends
whose value was truly above the price of rubies.
The knowledge that you have emerged
wiser and stronger from setbacks means that you
are, ever after, secure in your ability to survive.
You will never truly know yourself, or the strength
of your relationships, until both have been tested
by adversity. Such knowledge is a true gift, for
all that it is painfully won, and it has been worth
more than any qualification I ever earned.
129. According to the author, what can be defined
as 'failure?
(A) Failing on an epic scale
(B) Not truly knowing yourself
(C) Living your life so cautiously that you
do not fail
(D) A situation where all your fears come
to pass
130. Which of the following is a major benefit of
failure according to the passage?
(A) Failure helps in stripping away the
inessential.
(B) Failure teaches you things which you
could not have learnt in any other way.
(C) Failure gives you an inner security
which cannot be otherwise attained.
(D) Failure helps you in f inding the
determination to succeed.
131. Why does the author say that failure is
'inevitable' in life?
(A) Because nothing can prevent the
caprice of fate.
(B) Because not all of us are wellacquainted with failure.
(C) Because life is difficult and too
complicated.
(D) Because the fear of failure takes
precedence over the desire for success.
132. Which of the following is a suitable title for

(C) Failure has its benefits

(D) education and awareness.
PASSAGE 3
Ultimately, we all have to decide for ourselves
what constitutes failure, but the world is quite
eager to give you a set of criteria if you let it. So
I think it fair to say that by any conventional
measure, a mere seven years after my
graduation day, I had failed on an epic scale. An
exceptionally short-lived marriage had imploded,
and I was jobless, a lone parent, and as poor as it
is possible to be in modern Britain, without being
homeless. The fears that my parents had had for
me, and that I had had for myself, had both, come
to pass, and by every usual standard, I was the
biggest failure I knew.
Now, I am not going to stand here and tell
you that failure is fun. That period of my life was
a dark one, and I had no idea that there was going
to be what the press has since represented as a
kind of fairy tale resolution. I had no idea then
how far the tunnel extended, and for a long time,
any light at the end of it was a hope rather than
a reality.
So why do I talk about the benefits of
failure? Simply because failure meant a stripping
away of the inessential. I stopped pretending to
myself that I was anything other than what I was,
and began to direct all my energy into finishing
the only work that mattered to me. Had I really
succeeded at anything else, I might never have
found the determination to succeed in the one
arena I believed I truly belonged. I was set free,
because my greatest fear had been realised, and
I was still alive, and I still had a daughter whom
I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big
idea. And so rock bottom became the solid
foundation on which I rebuilt my life.

they saw a big advice on the door on which it was
written:
"Yesterday the person who has been

away. We Invite you to join the funeral in the

The excitement in the gym was such that
security agents were ordered to control the crowd
within the room. The more people reached the
coffin, the more excitement heated up. Everyone
thought: "Who is this guy who was hindering my
progress? Well, at least he died!" One by one the
thrilled employees got closer to the coffin and
when they looked inside it they suddenly became
speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked
and in silence, as if someone had touched the
deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror
inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it
could see himself.
There was also a sign next to the mirror that
said: "There is only one person who is capable to
set limits to your growth: it is YOU." You are the
only person who can revolutionize your life. You
are the only person who can influence your
happiness, your realization and your success. You

PASSAGE 4
Speech is a great blessing but it can also be a
great curse, for while it helps us to make our
intentions and desires known to our fellows, it
can also, if we use it carelessly, make our
attitude completely, misunderstood. A slip of the
tongue, the use of an unusual word, or of an
ambiguous word, and so on, may create an enemy
where we had hoped to win a friend. Again,
dif ferent classes of people use differ ent
vocabularies, and the ordinary speech of an
educated man may strike an uneducated listener
as pompous. Unwittingly, we may use a word
which objective general English bears a different
meaning to our listener from what it does to men
of our own class. Thus speech is not a gift to use
lightly without thought, but one which demands
careful handling. Only a fool will express himself
alike to all kinds and conditions of men.
