Directions : Read the following passage to answer the given questions based on it. Some words/phrases are printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. 

The advent of technology has fundamentally changed our lives, but one thing is for sure : The velocity of technological change will accelerate in an exponential manner with significant ramifications for all of us. Just imaging : over half of the scientists and engineers who have ever lived are alive today. China adds about 6.5 million graduates every year, half of them engineers and scientists. It is not only the sheer number of "innovators" who will push the boundaries of science, technology and ultimately life-change, but also the greater degree of interconnectivity which accelerates the generation of knowledge and creates a much more entrepreneurial environment for innovation and change.

What is particularly striking is this dimension of change. Today's technological evolution no longer solely affects what we are doing, but also who we are. Of course, the Internet is in many ways still a tool, but it has also become part of our DNA. This is true for governments (just think of Wiki leaks), for businesses and for individuals. In some way, we are "outsourcing" parts of ourselves - and this raises the question : Who owns our "inner most" self - our desires or our mobile phone records, capturing where we are going and with whom we are meeting. It is technology companies, our local phone providers, or is it still us ? 

It is not only the velocity and nature of change, but also the increasing multiplicity of actors which characterizes the world of today and tomorrow. Ten years ago, the Group of Eight (G-8) countries represented more than 60% of the world's economic power. Today, much more than half of the world's economic growth is produced by so-called emerging countries. This multiplicity of actors not only highlights the geographic expansion and the extension of multi-stakeholder impact, but it also underscors the fact that power is shifting from the top down and from the centre to the periphery - leaving almost seven billion people who want to have their say and the capability to do so. 

The geoeconomic and geopolitical power shifts taking place will fundamentally change our lifestyles- equally, so too will the cultural seismic shifts that are occurring. going forward, prevailing Western values will have to increasingly accommodate Asian values, and vice versa. By 2025, four of the five largest economies in the world will be non-Western and close to half of the Fortune 500 companies will orginate in emerging countries. This will have a direct impact on all of us in terms of new brands, new lifestyles and new industrial ownership structures. 

All of there accelerated trends - velocity, multiplicity, interconnectivity - are creating a completely new world in which the mastering of complexities will be the key challenge. Of course, the more complex the system is, the greater the risk of systemic breakdowns. 

1. which of the following is predicted about world's largest economies by 2025 ?

1. Three out of the five largest economies will be Asian
2. Four out of the five largest economies will be western
3. Three out of the five largest economies will be non-western 
4. The Top five largest economies will be non-western 
5. None of there

2. Which of the following is indicated about technology ?

1. Technology changes will be more rapid now 
2. Technology will not bring about major societal changes now 
3. Number of innovations has gone down now 
4. Technologically advanced countries will represent 60% of world's economic power 
5. Telecommunication will see more advancement as compared to other areas 

3. Which of the following would, in future, be true about cultural changes ? 

1. Western culture will affect Asian culture 
2. Asian culture will effect western culture 
3. Both western and Asian culture and values will adjust and mingle with each other
4. No culture will be able to influence the other culture 
5. Inspire of other rapid change, cultural changes will be slow 

4. Which of the following is predicted about the Fortune 500 Companies ? 

1. Many of these companies will shift their base to the emerging countries 
2. Fortune 500 will be replaced by Fortune 2025
3. Many new companies initiated in emerging countries will find place in Fortune 500
4. None of the presently included countries will remain in Fortune 500 group by 2025 
5. The share of western countries will be less than 20% in Fortune 500 

5. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage ? 

1. Technology 
2. New world complexities 
3. Convergence of Asian Values 
4. Inner-most vs outer self 
5. Changing lifestyle by 2025 

6. Which of the following is true about world economy ?

1. The share of G-8 countries in the economic growth is just 10% 
2. More countries from western world now contribute to the world's economy 
3. There are five countries which contribute about 60% of world's economic growth 
4. More than 50% of world's economic growth now comes from developing countries
5. The growth rate of GDP of most of the western countries is much more than what is was 10 years ago. 

7. Which of the following best desxribes the meaning of "push the boundaries" as used in the passage ?

1. accept the challenge
2. creating more competition 
3. prove to the world
4. achieve the unimaginable
5. take technology from one area to the other 

8. Which of the following has now become a part of our DNA ?

1. Global cooperation
2. Internet
3. Western values
4. Complex life style 
5. None of there 

9. Which of the following would be the key challenge in the new world ?

1. Controlling geopolitical power shifts
2. Mastering the emerging complexities 
3. Pushing the boundaries of science 
4. Overcoming the power of internet 
5. The power shift from the centre to the periphery

Lesson 7 Fluency

Lesson 7 English Fluency Exercise

Lesson Text 3:1-10 (Acts)

Read the Lesson Text aloud. Read the entire section until you can pronounce each word correctly, reading each paragraph without pausing. Practice until you can read the entire Lesson Text with good English pronunciation.

One day Peter and John went to the Temple at three o’clock in the afternoon, the hour for prayer. There at the Beautiful Gate, as it was called, was a man who had been lame all his life. Every day he was carried to the gate to beg for money from the people who were going into the Temple. When he saw Peter and John going in, he begged them to give him something. They looked straight at him, and Peter said, “Look at us.” So he looked at them, expecting to get something from them. But Peter said to him, “I have no money at all, but I give you what I have: in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I order you to get up and walk.”

Then he took him by his right hand and helped him up. At once the man’s feet and ankles became strong; he jumped up, stood on his feet, and started walking around. Then he went into the Temple with them, walking and jumping and praising God. The people there saw him walking and praising God, and when they recognized him as the beggar who had sat at the Beautiful Gate, they were all surprised and amazed at what had happened to him.

पाकिस्तान ने भारत को ललकारा, जीत का देख रहा सपना

बर्मिघम। दक्षिण अफ्रीका और वेस्टइंडीज के खिलाफ पहले दो मुकाबले हारकर आइसीसी चैंपियंस ट्रॉफी से बाहर हो चुकी पाकिस्तान क्रिकेट टीम शनिवार को होने वाले सबसे बड़े मुकाबले में टीम इंडिया को हराने का सपना देख रही है। पाकिस्तानी टीम के मैनेजर नदीम अकरम चीमा भारत के खिलाफ अपनी टीम के सर्वश्रेष्ठ प्रदर्शन के प्रति आश्वस्त दिख रहे हैं।

मीडिया से बातचीत करते हुए उन्होंने कहा कि उनकी टीम के खिलाड़ी आइसीसी चैंपियंस ट्रॉफी से बाहर हो जाने के सदमे से बाहर निकल चुके हैं और भारत के खिलाफ होने वाले मुकाबले के लिए पूरी तरह तैयार हैं। उन्होंने कहा कि पहले दो मुकाबले हार जाने के बाद उनके खिलाड़ी जरूर मायूस हो गए थे, लेकिन अब वे भारत के खिलाफ होने वाले मुकाबले के लिए पूरी तरह तैयार हैं। शनिवार को होने वाले इस मुकाबले पर उनका ध्यान पूरी तरह से टिका हुआ है।

चीमा ने कहा कि उन्होंने खिलाड़ियों से कहा कि वे पहले अपनी गलतियों को देखें और फिर उन्हें सुधारें, क्योंकि टूर्नामेंट में उनका आखिरी मुकाबला काफी महत्वपूर्ण है। गौरतलब है कि पाकिस्तान इस मुकाबले के लिए खुद को पूरी तरह तैयार तो बता रहा है, लेकिन अगर इतिहास की बात करें तो पाकिस्तान ने आइसीसी के किसी भी टूर्नामेंट में भारत को नहीं हराया है। उसे हरबार हार का ही मुंह देखना पड़ा है। इसमें भी कोई शक नहीं कि वो हर मुकाबले से पहले खुद को ताकतवर बताता है, लेकिन आइसीसी के मुकाबले में वह भारत के सामने अबतक भीगी बिल्ली ही बनता आया है।
