Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. "Education should not compete with national defence, trade deficit, drugs or AIDS. Instead, think of it as a solution to those problems," stated David Kearns, Chairman of the giant Xerox Corporation, a few years ago. A good school or college should have a well-stocked library which is a treasurehouse of knowledge. Unfortunately, barring exceptions, libraries are places where some unwanted books gather dust.

There is no time, either for the teachers or the students, to make use of these books which could enlarge their horizon. No wonder then that the school or college management invests little in libraries. Moreover, the staff which is supposed to maintain these are not trained in library management, but there is only an ad hoc arrangement to make some reluctant teacher or staff in-charge, as a mere formality. Contrast the above to the situation prevailing in advanced countries, such as the US, where school, college or public libraries are considered temples of knowledge. Funds are lavishly invested in infrastructure, providing wellventilated and lighted rooms and halls where books, magazines and newspapers can be easily accessed. Most of these are air-conditioned, to make the time spent in browsing books as pleasant as possible. Strict silence is maintained and no eatables are allowed inside. There are a number of individual kiosks complete with table, light and computer where one can sit and study. The librarians, mostly part-time students, are trained and are helpful. Long hours of business is the norm. The college libraries are open most of the time, even on holidays, and work late hours during semester. Borrowed books, magazines and CDs can be dropped into boxes placed outside. With the Internet culture seeping into our educational milieu, the time has come for upgrading the school and college libraries which will entice more students to make use of these. There is no substitute, as yet, to the vast print medium and the students could profit by utilising the library facilities. More funds should be allocated to equip the libraries with the latest books and magazines so that browsing of books in the library becomes a habit with at least college students, which is the norm in advanced countries. Librarians should also get a better deal compared to the present status. 76. According to David Kearns 1) education should not be given better deal than national defence, trade deficit, drugs or AIDS. 2) education can not be compared with anything. 3) education is the key to problems surrounding us, hence it demands better deal. 4) education and solution to problems go side by side. 5) education is the mother of other activities. 77. Why are the school and college management reluctant to invest a good amount in libraries? 1) because they have other areas also to invest in 2) because the libraries get poor feedback from the users 3) because the libraries may turn into a time-passing venue for many 4) because of mismanagement in the libraries 5) None of these 78. In what does the basic difference lie between the libraries in our country and those in the advanced countries? 1) books 2) infrastructure 3) librarians 4) funds 5) None of these

L.

Directions ( Q . 221-225): The first figure in the first unit of the problem figures bears a certain relationship to the second figure. Similarly, the first figure in the second unit of the problem figures bears the same relationship to one of the figures in the answer figures.
