7.(d) Write the summary of the following passage in about 50 words:

We all know what we mean by a “good” man. The ideally good man does not

drink or smoke, avoids bad language, converses in the presence of men only exactly as he

would if there were ladies present, believes in God, attends prayers regularly and holds

the correct opinion on all subjects. He has a wholesome horror of wrong-doing and

realizes that it is our painful duty to castigate sin. He has a still greater horror of wrong

thinking, and considers it the business of the authorities to safeguard the young against

those who question the wisdom and the views generally accepted by middle-aged,

successful citizens. Apart from his professional duties, at which he is assiduous, he

spends much time in good social and humanitarian works: he may encourage patriotism

and military training; he may promote industry, sobriety and virtue among wage earners

and their children by seeing to it that failures in these respects receive due punishment; he

may be a trustee of a university, works to promote quality education and prevents an ill-

judged respect for learning from allowing the employment of professors with

revolutionary ideas. Above all, of course, his “morals” in the narrow sense must be

flawless.

7.(d) Write the summary of the following passage in about 50 words:

From housing to farming to healthcare to travel to clothing; everything that the

present human society uses with such ease and comfort has been improved through

experiments, application of mind and enterprise. Clothing from winter garments to

Burqas to polo caps to sarees to Kimono to Dhotis to western suits, all have gone through

a process of evolution and innovation. Today, in the globalized world, one sees myriad

varieties of clothing people use. The variation is due to weather conditions, overhang of

culture, economic status and religion. Just as all items—from medicines to safety razors

to aero-planes have a history behind them, clothing has a history of it’s own. Apart from

the purely functional needs, clothing represents our sense of fashion, aesthetics and

beauty. The most eventful periods in the history of clothing were the nineteenth and

twentieth centuries. It is interesting to know why it was so. Before the winds of

democracy swept through Europe, and capitalist markets developed in eighteenth century

Europe, people were rather too orthodox in their dresses. Mass-produced textiles and

clothing had not entered the market. So, one could not experiment with clothes, even if

one attempted to. Rigid feudal society was conformist giving little leeway for any sort of

innovation in clothing.

One of our most difficult problems is what we call discipline and it is really very

complex to explain, to be understood and followed. You see, society feels that it must

control or discipline the citizen, shape his mind according to certain religious, social,

moral, ethical, economic and national or patriotic patterns. Is discipline necessary at all is

the question that hangs on the minds of every youth? Please listen carefully. Don’t

immediately say YES or NO. Most of us feel, especially while we are young, that there

should be no discipline, that we should be allowed to do whatever we like and we think,

that is freedom. But merely to say that we should not be free and should be restricted by

any norms or rules, has very little meaning without understanding the whole problem of

discipline. The keen athlete is disciplining himself the whole time, isn't he? His joy in

playing games and the very necessity to keep fit makes him go to bed early, refrain from

smoking, eat the right food and generally observe the rules of good health. His discipline

and punctuality is not an imposition but a natural outcome of his enjoyment of

athletics. Hence, if you need to be successful in your career or life you have to be

disciplined.
