  Passage - I

  The interview may be conducted by letter and by telephone, as well as in person. Letter and telephone interviews are less satisfactory. Direct contact with an individual and a face-to-face relationship often provide a stimulating situation for both interviewer and interviewee. Personal reaction and interaction aid not only in rapport but also in obtaining nuances and additional information by the reactions which are more fully observed in a face-to-face relationship. Adquate preparation for the interview is a 'must'. Careful planning saves not only time but also energy of both parties concerned. The interview is used to obtain facts or subjective data such as individual opinions, attitudes, and preferences. Interviews are used to check on questionnaires which may have been used to obtain data, or when a problem being investigated is complex, or when the information needed to solve it cannot be secured easily in any other way. People will often give information orally but will not put it in writing

   instruct people on the best means of conducting interviews

  Passage - II

  Rajendra wasa landlord. He had made a lot of money by cheating and ill-treating his labourers who worked in the fields. One day, a young man named Mani came to Rajendra, asking for work, Rajendra was pleasantly surprised. No one had ever wanted to work for him because of Ills reputation and here was someone walking right into his house! Mani's next few words surprised hire even more. Mani said, "I will work for you for free. Only give. me a place to sleep, two sets of clothes and two square meals a day." Rajendra was beside himself with joy when he heard this and was about to agree, when Mani added, "I have only one condition: I will tell you the truth always, but one day in the year, will lie." Rajendra, who lied happily everyday of the year, agreed to his odd condition. So, Mani began working for him. He was a wonderful worker-hard-workuig and trustworthy. He was very honest and soon became Rajendra's right-hand man. Because of Mani's hard work, Rajendra had an excellent harvest. He and his wife, Manda, decided to have a big feast to celebrate. They invited all their relatives and friends, from the village and outside as well. Everyone was looking forward to the delicious feast being planned.

  On the morning of the feast, Rajendra decided he would also give away some gifts to his relatives, just to show off. So, he set off for the market in his cart.

  As soon as, he was out of sight, Mani went running to Manda. He wept loudly and beat his chest. Then, he fell on the floor, sobbing and announced, "The master is dead! The cart overturned on the road. Out master has been flattened like a chapatti!" As soon as, Rajendra's wife and relatives heard this, they started wailing. Mani rushed out, saying he would bring back the body, while everyone started preparing for the last rites. Mani now went running to his master and said, "Master! Your wife is dead. A cobra bit her and she fell to the ground, as blue as the spring sky." Rajendra was stunned. What! His beloved Manda, his partner in all his schemes, was dead! He hurried home shouting her name.

  Manda too was weeping loudly, sitting in the courtyard. When she saw her husband run in, she stopped mid-wail and Rajendra too stood open mouthed. Then, they fell into each other's arms, unable to believe their eyes. As one, they turned to Mani. "What is the meaning of this, Mani?" his master angrily demanded. Mani smiled "Remember my condition that I would lie once in the year? Well, I chose today. You see what lies can do? Now, think what happens to the people whom you lie to everyday of the year!" Saying this, he walked out, leaving behind a stunned and ashamed landlord.

  Passage - III

  I do not suggest that the cultural side of education should be ignored. On the contrary, I think, it is essential to the production of the sort of adult who best fits the modem world.

  But I think that what is important in cultura education should be conveyed, at any rate in the early stages, by methods far more attractive than those now usual. History and Geography should be taught at first means of the cinema. When taught this way, they will give pleasure; attention will be spontaneous and therefore the impression will be less temporary, In spite of Reforming movements, there is still among educators a feeling that what is enjoyed without effort cannot have much educational value.

  Passage - IV

  No one know when or by whom rockets were invented. In all probability the rocket was not suddenly "invented" but evolved gradually over, a long period of time, perhaps in different parts of the world at the same time. Some historians of rocketetry, notably Willy Ley trace the development of rockets to 13th century China a land noted in ancient times for its fireworks display. In the year AD 232 when the Mongols laid siege to the city of Kai-Feng Fu, the capital of Honan Province, the Chinese defenders used weapons that were described as "arrows of flying fire". There is no explicit statement that these arrows were rockets, but some students have concluded that they were because the record does not mention bows or other means of shooting the arrows. In the same battle, we read, the defenders dropped from the walls of the city a kind of bomb described as "heaven-shaking thunder". From these meagre reference some students have concluded that the Chinese, by the year 1232 had discovered gunpowder bombs as well as propulsive charges for rocket.
