Read the following passage carefully:

Every individual wants peace of mind. But it is hard to find a person who can say that he has attained such a state of mental equilibrium as will allow him to live a life of tranquility. Peace of mind is a distant dream for all of us. What is the reason for this? The reason is that people hanker after ideal peace, that is, pure

peace–a peace that is free from all kinds of non–peace items.

But this kind of absolute peace is not in nature’s storehouse. Let us take the analogy of the rose. A rose is a very beautiful flower, but every stem has its thorns. Indeed, thorns are an integral part of the rose plant. A poet has rightly said that thorns serve as security guards for the flower. The translation of his Urdu lines is: “The safety of the flower would become impossible if the thorns

were silk-like.” So flowers have to be accompanied by thorns. There must be hard thorns along with soft flowers–that is, there must be non–peace items along with peaceful items. A peaceful mind is a very precious aspect of human nature and it too needs safety to maintain its sublime quality.

Studies in psychology show that an untroubled mind very soon becomes stagnant. It loses its creativity. For this reason, nature always leads people in challenging situations. It is a non–peace item which acts as a challenge for the mind. This guarantees that the creativity of a peaceful mind never comes to an end. A creative mind is always alive. It is a common phenomenon that one who is born in affluence and has a problem–free life, very soon finds his mind becoming dull, while the one who is

born into a life of problems and hardships, has an active mind. Such a person develops the creative thinking and his intellectual development continues unhindered.

Attempt the following questions on the basis of the passage you have read:

31.What can be considered as a distant dream for all of us?

(a) Peace of mind

(b)fulfilling our ambition

(d) climbing the mountains

32.Which of the following act as the security guards for the flowers?

(a) Gardens

(b) other plants

(c) thorns

(d) roots

33.Find the word in the passage which means testing one’s abilities:

(a) tranquillity
