SECTION I
I.
READING PASSAGE
Directions: Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.
One of the greatest delusions of modern times is the prevailing belief that we are not more
civilized than our ancestors. At no other period in the history of mankind has the word
Civilization been so often misused and misunderstood. It is not in the abundance of material
goods alone that civilization lies. Neither does it consist in the advance of scientific knowledge
however amazing it may be. The inventions and discoveries of science have undoubtedly
brought unheard blessings and comfort to us. But they are not civilization. What we have failed
to see is that civilization is as special way of human behavior, of thought and feeling. The
essential quality of civilization lies in the spirit of man, in his attitude to himself, to his fellowmen
and to life as a whole. Looking everywhere around us today, we will find that man has made no
progress since the dawn of history, in his attitude towards his fellowmen. On all the highest
pillars in the cities of the world, you will find the figure of a conqueror or a general soldier. We
know more about killers and destroyers than about our saviours and saints. The heroes of the
world are the heroes of war.
