DIRECTIONS for qu es tion s 81 to 90 : Read th e

fol low ing passage carefully and answer the ques-

tions given below.

We are tempted to assume that technological progress

is the real progress and that material success is the

criterion of civilization. If the eastern people become

fascinated by machines and techniques and use them

as Western nations do, to build industrial organiza-

tions and large military establishments, they will get

involved in power politics and drift into the danger

of death. Scientific and technological civilization brings

opportunities and great rewards but also great risks

and temptations. If machines get into the saddle, all

our progress will have been in vain. The problem facing

us is a universal one. Both east and west are threat-

ened with the same danger and face the same destiny.

Science and technology are neither good nor bad.

their proper place. They become dangers only if they

bec ome idols.

lishments.
