पुढील उतारा वाचून त्यावर आधारित 56 ते 60 प्रश्नांची उत्तरे द्या. समर्पित जीवन हा यशवंतरावांचा आदर्श होता. कारण - "जीवन पराकोटीचे समर्पित असेल, तर ते जीर्ण होत नाही. चंद्र कधी जुना होत नाही, सूर्याला म्हातारपण येत नाही, दर्या कधी संकोचत नाही. यांतील प्रत्येकाच्या जीवनात पराकोटीचे समर्पण आहे. पण अनंतयुगे लोटली, तरी विनाश त्यांच्याजवळ पोहोचलेला नाही. काळाने त्यांना घेरलेले नाही. त्यांचा कधी कायापालट नाही. स्थित्यंतर नाही. ते निष्वसन अखंड आहे." "हे जग कलात्मक आनंदाकरताच निर्माण करण्यात आलेली शक्ती आहे. या कलेत स्फूर्ती आहे, माणुसकी आहे. केवळ वैज्ञानिक हिशोब म्हणजे जग नव्हे. कला आणि पावित्र्य यांचा हा सुरेख संगम आहे." अशी कलासक्त धारणा मनात बाळगून जगणारे यशवंतराव सतत मीपण विसरून स्वर्गीय आनंद देणाऱ्या प्रसंगांच्या अखंड शोधात असायचे. असा क्षण मिळणे हाच त्यांना विरंगुळा वाटायचा. असे क्षण जेवढे जास्त मिळतील, तेवढे जीवन सुखी अशी त्यांची धारणा होती. सुखाच्या या क्षणांचे वर्णन ते करतात : "जीवनात सुखाचे क्षण येतात, ते सूर्याच्या कोवळ्या किरणांसारखे सोनेरी व सतेज असतात. ते क्षणभर राहतात आणि नंतर कडक होतात. परंतु ज्या वेळी हे किरण कोवळे दिसतात, त्या वेळी त्यांचे ते तेज, ते रम्य स्वरूप पाहून मनाला आल्हाद वाटतो, गंमत वाटते. नदीच्या खोल डोहात दगड टाकला, की पाण्यावर तरंग उठतात, एकातून एक अशी वर्तुळे उठतात आणि पाहणाऱ्याला मोठी मजा वाटते. जंगलातल्या वाटेने जात असताना उन्हाच्या वेळी एखादा झरा दिसला, की त्याचे पाणी पिताना केवढा आनंद होतो... ओढ्याच्या काठी भरगच्च जांभळांनी भरलेल्या झाडाची चार जांभळे तोंडात टाकली की, ती किती गोड लागतात... जीवनामधील आनंदाचे क्षण हे असे असतात."

(For Questions 96 to 100) Read the following passage and answer questions 96 to 100 : Everyone likes to blame his sense of defeat on someone else; and for some time scientists have been a favourite scapegoat. I want to look at their responsibility, and for that matter at everybody's rather closely. They do have a special responsibility; but it is a complicated one, and not the whole responsibility. For example, science obviously is not responsible for the readiness of people, who do not take their private quarrels beyond the stage of insult. to carry their public quarrels to the point of war. Many animals fight for their needs, and some for their mere greed, to the point of death. Bucks fight for females, and birds fight for their territories. The fighting habits of man are odd because he displays them only in groups. But they were not supplied by scientists. On the contrary, science has helped to end several kinds of group murder, such as witch hunting and the taboos of the early nineteenth century against disinfecting hospitals. Neither is science responsible for the existence of groups which believe themselves to be in competition; for the existence, above all, of nations. And the threat of war today is always a national threat. Some bone of contention and competition is identified with a national good, and in the end nations are willing to organize and to invite the death of citizens on both sides in order to reach these collective aims. Science did not create the nations - on the contrary, it has helped to soften those strong national idiosyncrasies which it seems necessary to exploit if war is to be made with enthusiasm. The sense of doom in us today is not a fear of science; it is a fear of war. And the causes of war were not created by science. No, science has not invented war; but it has turned it into a very different thing. Science has enlarged the mechanism of war, and it has distorted it.
