5

It

is the dream

of

every

Indian

student

to

pursue

further

studies

and

a career

in

the U.S.

1n the

past 6

years

itself, the

number

of

Indian

students

in

tlre

University of

Illinois

has

increased

from

500

to

over

1500.

As.a

student

of

IIT,

Mumbai

and an

IT

professor

at

the University

of Illinois,

I

feel

that

the

.American

Dream'

is

not

as attractive

a

proposition

as

it looks

from

the

Indian

viewpoint.

There

are

many

factors

which

Indian

students

do

not consider

when

tryrng

pursue a career

in itre

U.S.

The

first major

factor

is

the recession

in

the

US

economy

and

a

slump

in

the

IT

industry.

As

a

result

of

these

two

factors,

jobs

are

extremely

hard

to

come

by.

In

fact, the

IT

job

market

in lndia

is

much

better

than

the

job

market

in this

sector

in

the

US.

Also

during

retrenchment

and

staff

reductions,

Indians

and

other

Asians

are

the

first

to be

shoWn

door'

(4)

Read

the

following

passage and

answer

the

questions that

follow

:

Isaac

Newton

is

considered

to be

arncing

the^

greatest

scientists

of

E:rgland.

His

theory

of light

and

colour,

the three

laws of_motion

and

th3

law

of

gravitation

are among

his most

atnazing

achievements.

He

was

fully

devoted

to

his

work.

probably

that

is

why

he,

never

married.

He

also

preferred a

quiet life

and

avoidedcomPany.

Newton

did

his

work

with

great concentration.

When

he was

absorbed

in

his

wopk,

he

became

absent-minded

and

unaware

of

his

surroundings.

Once

he

invited

a

few

friends

{o

dinner.

While

tnlking to

them, he

went out

to look

for

something

he

needed

Just

then;

he

came

rry

with

an

idea and

forgetting

everything,

he

headed

straight

to his

study-

There he

opened

his files

and

got

busy

in

his

calculations.

When

he failed

to

oome back

even

after a long time,

his

friends

got worried

and

started

searching

for

him

everywhere'

They

even

organized

a

search

party to

locate

him.

Then

smebody

located

him

in

his

stridy,

totally

immersed

in

his work.

Whe,n

Newton

realized he

had

caused

inconvenience

to

his

friends,

he

felt

quite

e,mbarrassed.

But his

friends

were

aware

of his

absent-mindedness

and

hiS love

forwOrk,

so

they

forgave

him.

Complete

the

following

statements
