Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow by selecting the correct/most appropriate options.
(1) The monthly report card in school would make some children gloat and others weep. I did neither. I just took it because I saw it as a transaction between my teacher and my father! Reading it always made my father blow up. The teacher must have said something not so nice. But I was unconcerned. I had too much else going on that interested me.
(2) The alarming increase in student suicides today is because we have created a society founded on the premise that life is a race. So you rush to the finishing line! Is it any wonder that so many choose to end their lives? This is the self-destructive model we have created for ourselves.
(3) If our joy is about being better than someone else, it is not success; it is sickness. To reap the benefits of someone else's failure is a tragic way to live.
(4) Each individual is born with a particular kind of genius. Education should create the right atmosphere to allow that genius to flower to its optimal potential.
(5) A student asked, how to live in an increasingly competitive and ambitious world. I told him, whether, knowledge, power, love or fame, you are essentially trying to experience a little more of life than you have now. The man going to the bar and the man going to the temple are seeking the same thing! They are looking for fulfilment, but through different means. Both want an experience of life that is a little more intense and pleasurable than it is currently.
(6) At present, the stimuli are outside. But once you know that the source of both pleasure and pain, agony and ecstasy are within you, why would you outsource it? Why would you export it to alcohol or heaven or to some authority figure?
