GCC-TBC English 40 Speed practice passage
1.
The setting of a
North Indian village is quite striking.
Houses are close together and the village is, therefore, sage and
secure. Generally it is treeless with grey mud built houses. However, a few brick and cement structures
are not uncommon. These may house the
bank, the school and the village meeting center or the little dispensary or
health center. The population of the
village carries from a few hundred to a few thousands, depending upon the size
of the village. For all needs, water is drawn from the village well or the hand
pumps. Most villages are without electricity. Oil and kerosene lamps are used
to get light. Firewood is used for
cooking as cooking gas is not supplied to the villages. Proper drainage and modern flush toilets do
not exist.
One or two grocery stores supply the
villager with his daily needs. Cattle
supply the villager with his daily needs.
Cattle supply the milk. The
potter who makes earthen pots, the Blacksmith who makes and repairs farming
tools, the carpenter who takes care of all woodwork and the weaver who weaves
coarse cloth for the village folk make the village self-sufficient. The
villager is usually a farmer leading a simple but hard life. He farms the land from early morning until
late evening. He keeps a pair of bullock
to till the land and draw water from the farm well.

The worker should be encouraged to make
suggestions for the improvement of methods and handsome rewards prescribe for
the saving that accrue to the company by the adoption of the suggestions. The quick examination of suggestions made by
the worker and reward and appreciation that he earns are certain means of
creating a sense of participation. A
suitable grievance scheme should also be introduced and its implementation
watched from time to time by the Managing Direction to ensure that grievances
are attended to promptly. The above
schemes would largely help in creating a feeling in the worker of security and
of participation. However. as a means of creating healthy labour
relations most important is the creation of job satisfaction. Job satisfaction flows from good conditions
of work and the opportunity given to the worker to learn more and educate
himself for more responsible work.
Courses for given insight into new technical enable the worker to
enlarge his outlook.
A Library which in which the latest
technical journals relating to the type of industry in which he is employed
should be made available. The workers
should be encouraged to made use of the library.

Man cannot live
alone in this world. His nature and
needs are such that he always lived with the order people. Aristotle has said that a person who is
unable to live in society must be either a beast or god. He is born in Society. He needs the friendship and help of his
fellow men. He prefers to live in
company. He admires and imitated. Necessity also compels man to live a social
life. No man can satisfy his many needs
by himself. Therefore men live in group
and work together.
When man in a primitive state his needs
were few and he led a simple life.
History tells us that even in those days man did not live alone. There might have been without mixing with
other human beings. Such instances are
an exception rather than a rule. The
general rule is that men live and have always lived with social groups. We may ask the questions as to how society
came into existence. It is a wrong
question to ask, because at no time had men lived separately. Men and society grew up together. Although man always lived in same kind of
society the nature of the society in which he lived had not always been the
same. In the earliest times when men
lived by hunting and by gathering fruit they could only live in groups.

Once there was king in China. He called a competition of archers. His commander secured the highest marks. The King was going to declare him as the
advised him not to do so, the old minister said that there was an old man in
the forest, who was perhaps the best archer.
The commander went in searcher of the old
man. The old man was really
wonderful. After learning many things,
the commander thought home with a bundle of fire-wood. He read the commander’s thought, took out a
stick from the bundle and threw it to commander. The bow and arrow of the commander were
broken. The old man said “The real archer
can shoot without a bow. My son, my
teacher is still alive who is hundred years old. You will learn many things from him” The
commander begged pardon and went in searcher of a new teacher.
The grand teacher was really wonderful. The commander learned many things from him. Then he thought of killing him in order to become the best archer. The grand teacher read his thought and asked him to look at a flying bird. Then he threw a glance at the bird and the bird came down like a shot bird. Then the grand teacher said that a real archer requires neither a bow nor an arrow. He can shoot only at glance.

Just sitting on
the fence, so to speak, and not being sure which side, you ought to step down
one can be a strangely pleasant and a most disturbing experience at the time, especially
when it involves making choice as to see both side of the of the fence. For a long time, the person has heard great
d4eal of talk as to the advantages and disadvantage of having a pet around their
house and has managed to keep, more or less, calm though not even thinking
twice about owing a dog, a cat or some other animal. But when the day comes when the person sees someone
with as especially personable well-bred pet, and then the start of deliberate
consideration hosts him or her. The person
might then just as well forget all about being practical and objective about
the pert ownership question the instinct that is people to protect animals
seems to be almost to pet to please people and to please their masters or as no
alone else seems to want to do.
The major m problems after obtaining a pet is as you know from experience or as you from observation, one that centers around which one is to be master or mistress, the owner or the pet.
