Read the following passage about setting goals and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 23 to 30.
Goal setting is a crucial process that involves careful consideration of what you want to accomplish and
requires persistent effort to make it a reality. Establishing goals gives you a target to strive for and helps to keep
you motivated throughout the process. Goals also provide you with a focus and a way to measure your progress
and accomplishments.
In the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle, setting realistic goals is the key to success. However, it is important
to be realistic with yourself when setting these goals. If you want to quit smoking, lose a significant amount of
weight, or run a marathon, it is unlikely to happen overnight, or even in a few months or a year.
Not reaching those goals might be discouraging and lead to giving up altogether. To avoid feeling
overwhelmed, it is advisable to start small and concentrate on one goal at a time. If you want to lose weight,
make small and achievable goals. For example, you can start by working out at least three times a week or
adding more vegetables to your meals when you want seconds.
 By keeping a journal or using a tracking app on your phone, you can monitor your progress and ensure that
you stay on track. Once these small goals become part of your routine, you can gradually add new ones,
such as limiting eating out to twice a week or incorporating weightlifting into your exercise routine. These small
goals are easier to achieve and will eventually lead to meeting your main goal.

Read the following passage about ‘Hole in the Wall’ experiments and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to
indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 31 to 40.
Dr Mitra, the Indian physicist turned radical educationalist is now internationally known for his "Hole in
the Wall" experiments, which ran for a decade in different parts of India from 1999. In these experiments, he
placed computers with Internet access in public places in remote villages or slum areas and left them to be
explored by the local children without guidance from teachers or other adults. [I]
The results were remarkable. The children rapidly taught themselves and each other to carry out basic
functions such as opening, closing, and saving files and were soon surfing the net, despite the fact that some of
them had never learnt to read or write in English.
Dr Mitra then moved on to setting tasks, for example, finding out about DNA replication or answering
moral questions, such as "Is it ever necessary to tell lies?" Having raised a question, he then went away for
several months, leaving the children to research the answers on their own. [II] Once again, the results exceeded
expectations. For example, those who studied DNA replication went from zero per cent to 30 per cent on a
biotechnology test in the space of two months' self-instruction.
The holes in the wall no longer exist, but Dr Mitra, now Professor of Educational Technology at
Newcastle University in the United Kingdom, has a new vision. [III] Building on the earlier insights about how
children can organise their own learning, he has established seven Self-Organised Learning Environments. [IV]
