to be an actor or a mechanic. Unfortunately, many people in the world are “square pegs”, they are not doing
the kind of work they should be doing for one reason or another. As a result, they probably are not doing a
very good job and certainly they are not happy.
Choosing the right career is very important. Most of us spend a great part of our lives at our jobs. For that
reasons we should try to find out what our talents are and how we can use them. We can do this through
aptitude tests, interviews with specialists, and study books in our field of interests. There are many career
open to each of us. Perhaps we like science. Then we might prepare ourselves to be chemists, physicists, or
biologists. May be our interests take us into the business world and such work as accounting, personnel
management or public relations. Many people find their place in government service. Teaching newspaper
work, medicine, engineering-these and many other fields offer fascinating careers to persons with talent and
training.

One of the greatest advances in modern technology has been in the invention of computers. They are

people to use them as well. Computers are capable of doing extremely complicated work in all branches of
learning. They can solve the most complex mathematical problems or put thousands of unrelated facts in order.
These machines can be put to varied uses. For instance, they provide information on the best way to prevent
traffic accidents, or they can count the number of times the word “and” has been used in Bible. Because they
work accurately and at high speeds, they save research workers years of hard work. This whole process by
which machines can be used to work for us has been called automation. In the future, automation may enable
human beings to enjoy far more leisure than they do today.

Daniel Mendoza.
Boxing matches were very popular in England two hundred years ago. In those days, boxers fought with
bare fists for prize money. Because of this, they were known as “prize-fighters”. However boxing was very
crude for there were no rules and a prize-fighter could be seriously injured or even killed during the match. One
of the most colourful figures in boxing history was Daniel Mendoza who was born in 1764. the use of gloves was
not introduced until 1860 when the Marquis of Queensberry drew up the first set of rules. Though he was
technically a prize-fighter, Mendoza did much to change crude fighting into a sports, for he brought science to
the game. In his day, Mendoza enjoyed tremendous popularity. He was adored by the rich and the poor alike.

II. Reading the passage :
Nearly all the sports practised nowadays are competitive. You play to win, and the game has little meaning
unless you do your utmost to win. On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local
patriotism is involved, it is possible to play simple for the fun and exercise: but as soon as the question of pretige
arises, as soon as you feel that you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage
combative instincts are aroused. Anyone who has played even in a school football match know this. At the
international level sport is frankly mimic warfare. But the significant thing is not the behavour of the players but
the spectators, of the nations who work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and seriously believe -
at any rate for short periods - that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.
