Patience is better than wisdom an ounce of patience is worth a pound of brains. All men
praise patience, but few can practice it. It is medicine which is good for all diseases, but it
is not every garden that grows the herbs to make it with. Many people are born crying, live
complaining and die disappointed. They think every other person’s burden to be light and
their own feathers to be heavy as lead, and yet if the truth were known, it is their fancy
rather than their fate that makes things go so hard with them. Many would be well of they
could but think so.

metaphorical statement that ‘it is not every garden that grows the herbs to make
it
with’?
1. Patience is must for solving all our problems in life
2. Patience is a rare herb that cures all diseases
3. Patience is quite difficult to practice
4. It is only a small number of people that are found observing patience in life
18. The writer’s remark “They think every person’s burden to be light and their
own
feathers to be heavy as lead” is very significant. It means
1. They are always worried and dejected
2. They consider their own problem to be difficult to solve as compared with problems of
other people
3. They feel that they alone face serious problems while others have a nice time
4. They remain very much worried about their own problem
19. The writer’s remark ‘It is their fancy rather than their fate’ means
1. They are unhappy because they think that way and not because it is their destiny
2. They are fatalists rather than imaginative
3. They have a wrong approach to life
4. They are very much absorbed in their own problems

The strength of the electronics industry in Japan is the Japanese ability to organise
production and marketing rather than their achievements in original research. The British
are generally recognised as a far more inventive collection ofjndividuals, but never seem
able to exploit what they invent. There are many examples, from the TSR Z hovercraft,
high speed train and Sinclair scooter to the Triumph, BSA and Norton motorcycle which all
prove this sad rule. The Japanese were able to exploit their strengths and marketing and
development many years ago, and their success was atfirst either not understood in the
West or was dismissed as something which could have been produced only at their low
price. They were sold because they were cheap copies of other people’s ideas churned out
of a workhouse which was dedicated to hard grind above all else.

That artificial intelligence quotient should seek to replace the time-tested I.Q. as a
measure of mental ability is perfectly in consonance with the present day standards in a
plastic society. However, the battle over grey cells whether in human or mechanical minds,
whose latest round has found Uncle Sam shedding crocodile tears over Japan’s failure to
deliver on its promise to produce a fifth generation computer, may find the Asn Tiger
Cubs- The under-35 Japanese researchers- having the last laugh. For, though all the
boastful Tokyo talk a decade ago to build 1,000 processor computers to process knowledge
—and not merely members which is all the Silicon Valley chips supposedly do- has
remained just talk, the 180 young scientists in the 10-year venture have nevertheless
made the big brains at Silicon Valley look rather silly with their product which has a yen for
logical programming. The jubilation in the Valley may turn to depression when the
inexorable logic of this development pulls down Washington from its pedestal of
supercomputer supremacy.
16. Asian Tiger Cubs are
1. Young Japanese researchers
2. Mechanical minds
3. The big brains at Silicon Valley
4. Fifth generation computers
17. Uncle Sam reacts to their failure with
1. Sorrow
2. Depression
3. Jubilation
4. Insincere sorrow
18. What have the cubs failed to produce?
1. Numbers processing computer
2. Grey cells
3. The fifth generation computer
4. A plastic society
19. What have they succeeded in producing?
1. Grey cells
2. A fifth generation computer
3. A knowledge processing computer
4. A product which has a yen for logical programming
20. How is their success likely to affect Washington’s supremacy?
1. It is likely to make it look silly
2. It is likely to dislodge it
3. It is likely to have the last laugh
4. it is likely to produce jubilation in the Valley
