Imegine a space ship heading towards a star about 100 light years aways. It is propelled by electric current
generated by electromagnetic induction, as the space ship crosses the magnetic fields in space. The current
is given to an electric motor made of superconducitng wires. Thus, no energy would be required to propagate
the space ship over its entire journey.
In a particular region of the space, suppose the temperature becomes so high that the supercondcting
property of the wires of the motor is destrotyed. This causes a panic in the space ship because no power is
generated by the motor.
In a split second, another space ship filled with matter and antimatter stored in different compartments to
produce energy for the first ship comes to its rescue. And the first ship continues its onward journey.

The Examination System Entry to the elite ruling class (about 1.1 million till 1850) had been largely through an examination. This required writing an eight-legged essay (pa-ku wen) in classical Chinese in a prescribed form. The examination was held twice every three years, at different levels and of those allowed to sit only 1-2 per cent passed the first level, usually by the age of 24, to become what was called 'beautiful talent'. At any given time before 1850 there were about 526,869 civil and 212,330 military provincial (sheng-yuan) degree holders in the whole country. Since there were only 27,000 official positions, many lower-level degree holders did not have jobs. The examination acted as a barrier to the development of science and technology as it demanded only literary skills. In 1905, it was abolished as it was based on skills in classical Chinese learning that had, it was felt, no relevance for the modern world. Write any two key features of Chinesc examination system.

PASSAGE-VI It was Galileo and Newton-notwithstanding that Newton himself was a deeply religious man who destroyed the old comfortable picture of a friendly universe governed by spiritual values. And this was effected, not by Newton's discovery of the law of gravitation nor by any of Galileo's brilliant investigations, but by the general picture of the world which these men and others of their time made the basis of the science, not only of their own day, but of all succeeding generations down to the present. That is why the century immediately following Newton, the eighteenth century, was notoriously an age of religious skepticism. Skepticism did not have to wait for the discoveries of Darwin and the geologists in the nineteenth century. It flooded the world immediately after the age of the rise of science. 'The old comfortable picture of a friendly universe' was :

Passage I have always opposed the idea of dividing the world into the Orient and the Occident. It is, however, the tremendous industrial 'growth that has made the West what it is. I think the difference, say, between India and Europe in the 12th or 13th century Would not have been very great. Differences have been intensified by this process of industrialization which has promoted material well-being tremendously and which is destroying the life of the mind, which is in a process of deterioration, chiefly because the environment that has been created by it does not give time or opportunity to individuals to think. If the life of the mind is not encouraged, then inevitably civilization collapses. The words "the Orient and the Occident" mean
