Comprehension:
Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions:
It doesn’t appear to be a matter of surprise that a few states have extreme flood-hit situations
and some wait for the monsoons. If this is all because of global warming worldwide, then it is
true also to a greater extent. But there is also a reason which generally men fear to express.
The reason is explicit, the ignorance about WANT and DESIRE. In a country like India where
natural resources are plentiful, the imbalance occurs almost every year. The fact is that
requirements are limited for survival but the wishes of mankind are unlimited. The continuous,
hasty and unlawful use of every natural resource has brought this misfortune on us. The
developed countries are the first culprits for this non-judicious use of the elixir of life and
destruction of natural forests and greenbelts. The developing countries have followed the suit;
but the monster of pollution and scarcity of other resources is uncontrollable. Though it is
beyond control now, there is a silver lining to know one’s own mistakes and have remedies to
it. Perhaps that may save all of us.

Read the following passage and answer the questions given below:
A few years ago, we often talked about an age of technology that has surrounded us.
Computers and modern means of communication have brought in an unsurpassable change
in human life. Every next day technology of common kind is available at cheaper rates and we
are using it every day. It is today that we have pushed ourselves into the age of artificial
intelligence where human emotions are captured by smart devices and preferences are set in
a moment. Right from a simple thought of having a cup of tea, taking a warm water shower or
listening to favourite songs do not need human intervention. Thoughts are automatically
transmitted to a core device that further operates on other gadgets and machines. Alexa, a
voice-controlled intelligent personal assistant service has changed our lifestyle. Sophia is a
social robot that uses AI to see people, understand conversations and even form
relationships. Moreover, it has the ability to learn from one experience and apply that
knowledge to new situations. It is the similar way what humans learn to do in their life. It
seems that that day will not be far when technology and robots will be able to govern human
life completely. The debate is unending.
