As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the go from morning to night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is essential fora healthy mind and body.

Stress is a natural part of every life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing it is often supposed to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor performance and ill health.

The amount of stress a person can withstand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime material for managerial responsibilities. Others lose heart at the first signs of unusual difficulties. When exposed to stress in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between "fight" or "flight", and in more primitive days the choice made the difference between life or death. The crises we meet today are not likely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it involves the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress that health becomes endangered. Such serious conditions as high blood pressure and heart disease have established links with stress. Since we cannot remove stress from our lives (and it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.

Question 37: People are finding less and less time for relaxing themselves because_________.

A. they are becoming busier their work

B. they are travelling fast all the time

C. they do not know how to enjoy themselves

D. they do not believe that relaxation is important for health

Question 38: According to the writer, the most important character for a good manager is his_________.

A. having control over performance B. not fearing stress

C. high sense of responsibility D. knowing the art of relaxation

Question 39: Which of the following statements is true?

A. Different people can withstand different amount of stress

B. It’s easy to change the habit of keeping oneself busy with work

C. Stress is always harmful to people

D. We can find some ways to avoid stress

Question 40: In paragraph 3. "such a reaction" refers back to_________

A. responding to crises quickly B. losing heart at die signs of difficulties

C. making a choice between "fight" or "flight" D. reaction to stress both chemically and physically

Question 41: In the last sentence of the passage, "do so" refers to_________.

A. establish links between diseases and stress B. remove stress from our lives

C. find ways to deal with stress D. expose ourselves to stress

Read the following text and circle the best answer among A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet for the questions from 42 to 48

Buying a house is the single largest financial investment an individual makes. Yet, in India this act is fraught with risk and individuals depend on weak laws for justice. Occasionally, deviant promoters are called to account as was the case in the detention of Unitech's promoters. This incident shows up the fallout of an absence of proper regulation to cover contracts between buyers and real estate promoters. A real estate bill, which is presently pending in Rajya Sabha, seeks to fill this gap. It has been debated for over two years and should be passed by Parliament in the budget session.

India is in the midst of rapid urbanization and urban population is expected to more than double to about 900 million over the next three decades. Unfortunately, even the current population does not have adequate housing. A government estimate in 2012 put the shortage at nearly 19 million units. If this shortage is to be alleviated quickly, India's messy real estate sector needs reforms.

The real estate bill seeks to set standards for contracts between buyers and sellers. Transparency, a rare commodity in real estate, is enforced as promoters have to upload project details on the regulators' website. Importantly, standard definitions of terms mean that buyers will not feel cheated after taking possession of a house. In order to protect buyers who pay upfront, a part of the money collected for a real estate project is ring-fenced in a separate bank account. Also, given the uncertainty, which exists in India on land titles, the real estate bill provides title insurance. This bill has been scrutinized by two parliamentary committees and its passage now brooks no delay.

This bill is an important step in cleaning up the real estate market, but the journey should not end with it. State governments play a significant role in real estate and they are often the source of problems. Some estimates suggest that real estate developers have to seek approvals of as many as 40 central and state departments, which lead to delays and an escalation in the cost of houses. Sensibly, NDA government's project to provide universal urban housing forces states to institute reforms to access central funding. Without real estate reforms at the level of states, it will not be possible to meet the ambition of making housing accessible for all urban dwellers.

Question 42: According to the passage, what is the source of problem in real estate?

A. Market money makers B. Central governments

C. Buyers and sellers D. State governments

Question 43: According to the passage, which of the following is the pending in Rajya Sabha?

B. the real estate bill does not provide title insurance

C. urbanization in India has increased rapidly

A. reduction B. Decrease C. sustainability D. growth

A. India's real estate sector needs reforms.

B. Urban population is expected to more than double to about 850 million over the next three decades.

C. Real state bill has been scrutinized by two parliamentary committees.
