Passage-1
Management is a set of processes that can complicate system of people and technology:
smoothly. The most important aspects of manage include planning, budgeting, organizing,
staffing controlling and problem solving. Leadership is a set c: processes that creates
organizations in the first place or adapts them to significantly changing circumstances.
Leadership defines what the future should look like, aligns people with that vision, and
inspires them to make it happen despite the obstacles. This distinction is absolutely crucial
for our purposes here. Successful transformation is 70 to 90 percent leadership and only 10
to 30 percent management. Yet for historical reasons, many organisations today don't have
much leadership, and almost everyone thinks about the problem here as one of managing
change. For most of this century, as we created thousands and thousands of large
organisations for the first time in human history, we didn't have enough good managers to
keep all those bureaucracies functioning. So many companies and universities developed
management programmes and hundreds and thousands of people were encouraged to learn
management on the job. And they did. But, people were taught little about leadership. To
some degree, management was the main item on the twentieth-century agenda because that's
what was needed. For every entrepreneur or business builder who was a leader, we needed
DNYANSAGAR INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT & RESEARCH
Baner - Balewadi, Pune | www.dimr.edu.in | +91-7767800402 - 06
hundreds of managers to run their ever-growing enterprises. Unfortunately for us today, this
emphasis on management has often been institutionalized in corporate cultures that
discourage employees from learning how to lead. Ironically, past success is usually the key
ingredient in producing this outcome. The syndrome, as I have observed it on many
occasions, goes like this : success creates some degree of marked dominance, which in turn
produces much growth. After a while keeping the ever larger organisations under control
becomes the primary challenge. So attention turns inward, and managerial competencies are
nurtured. With a strong emphasis on management hut not leadership, bureaucracy and an
inward focus take over. But with continued success, the result mostly of market dominance,
the problem often goes unaddressed and an unhealthy arrogance begins to evolve. All of
these characteristics then make any: transformation effort much more difficult. Arrogant
managers can over evaluate their current performance and competitive position, listen
poorly, and learn slowly. Inwardly focused employees can -mother those who want to
respond to shifting conditions. And the lack of leadership leaves no force inside these
organisations to break out of the morass.

Passage – 2
If life exists on Mars, it is most likely to be in the form of bacteria buried deep in the planet's
permafrost or lichens growing within rocks, say scientists from NASA. There might even be
fossilized Martian algae locked up in ancient lake beds, waiting to be found.
Christopher McKay of NASA's Ames Research Centre in California told the AAAS that
exobiologists, who look for life on other planets, should look for clues among the life forms
of the Earth's ultra-cold regions, where conditions are similar to those on Mars. Lichens, for
example, are found within some Antarctic rocks, just beneath the surface where sunlight can
still reach them. The rock protects the lichen from cold and absorbs water, providing
enough for the lichen's needs, said McKay.
Bacteria have also been found in 3-million-yaar-old permafrost dug up from Siberia. If there
are any bacteria alive on Mars today, they would have had to have survived from the time
before the planet cooled more than 3 billion years ago. Nevertheless, McKay is optimistic :
"It may be possible that bacteria frozen into the permafrost at the Martian South Pole may
be viable."
McKay said algae are found in Antarctic lakes with permanently frozen surfaces. Although
no lakes are thought to exist on Mars today, they might have existed long ago. If so, the
dried-out Martian lake beds may contain the fossilised remains of algae. On Earth, masses of
microscopic algae form large, layered structures known as stromatolites, which survive as
fossils on lake beds, and the putative Martian algae might have done the same thing, said
Jack Farmer, one of McKay's colleagues.
The researchers are compiling a list of pro Martian lake beds to be photographed from spz
said Farmer. Those photographs could help to sites for landers that would search for signs of
past or present. "If we find algae on Mars. I say the Universe is lousy with algae," McKay
"Intelligence would be another question".

One simple physical concept lies behind the formation of the stars : gravitational instability.
The concept is not new. Newton first perceived it late in the 17th Century.
Imagine a uniform, static cloud of gas in space. Imagine then that the gas is somehow
disturbed so that one small spherical region becomes a little denser than the gas around it so
that the small region's gravitational field becomes slightly stronger. It now attracts more
matter to it and its gravity increases further, causing it to begin to contract. As it contracts its
density increases, which increases its gravity even more, so that it picks up even more matter
and contracts even further. The process continues until the small region of gas finally forms a
gravitation ally bound object.
66). The primary purpose of the passage is to
(a) describe a static condition
(b) support a theory considered outmoded
(c) depict the successive stages of a phenomenon
(d) demonstrate the evolution of the meaning of a term

Passage - 4
We call a man irrational when he acts in a passion, when he cuts off his nose to spit his face. He
is irrational because he forgets that, by indulging the desire which he happens to fee l most
strongly at the moment, he will thwart other desires which in the long run are more important to
him. If men were rational, they would take a more correct view of their own interest than they do
at present; and if all men acted from enlightened self-interest the world would be a paradise in
comparison with what it is. I do not maintain that there is nothing better than se lf-interest as a
motive to action; but I do maintain that se lf-interest, like altruism, is better when it is enlightened
than when it is unenlightened. In an ordered community it is very rare ly to a man's interest to do
anything which is very harmful to others. The less rational a man is, the oftener he will fail
to perceive how what injures others also injures him, because hatred or envy will blind him.
Therefore, although I do not pretend that enlightened self- interest is the highest morality, I
do maintain that, if it became common, it would make the world an immeasurable better
place than it is.
Rationality in practice may be defined as the habit of remembering all our relevant desires,
and not only the one which happens at the moment to be strongest. Like rationality in
opinion, it is a matter of degree. Complete rationality is no doubt an unattainable ideal, but so
long as we continue to classify some men as lunatics it is clear that we think some men more
rational than others. I believe that all solid progress in the world consists of an increase in
rationality, both practical and theoretical, To preach an altruistic morality appears to me
somewhat useless, because it will appeal only to those who already have altruistic desires.
But to preach rationality is somewhat different, since rationality helps us to realise our own
desire on the whole, whatever they may be. A man is rational in proportion as his intelligence
