In the world have we made health an end in itself? We have forgotten that health is really a means to enable
a person to do his work and do it well. A lot of modern medicine is concerned with promotion of good health. Many
patients as well as many physicians pay very little attention to health; but very much attention to health makes some
people imagine that they are ill. Our great concern with health is shown by the medical columns in newspaper, the
health articles in popular magazines and the popularity of the television programme and all those books on medicine.
We talk about health all the time. Yet, for the most only result is more people are with imaginary illnesses. The healthy

Directions (16 – 25): In these questions, you have two brief passages with five questions following each passage.
Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question out of the four alternatives.

There is a general consensus that 'International Understanding' need to be taught as a separate subject at the school
stage as that would add to the curricular load which is already too heavy. Instead it should be woven into the curriculum
and the numerous opportunities that present themselves while teaching normal school subjects may be intelligently
and imaginatively used by the teacher to promote International Understanding.

The school subjects which can be most profitably used for this purpose are History, Geography, Civics, Economics,
Sociology, Political Science, Social Sciences, Languages as well as Physical and Life Sciences. However, at the higher
education level, international education can be prescribed as a separate subject of study. In fact, the present situation
in India broadly conforms to this consensus so far as the school stage is concerned.

At the under-graduate and the post-graduate levels, courses of study in subjects like History, Geography, Economics,
Political Science, International Relations, International Law and International Organization have been prescribed by
most of the universities and these contain content which has a direct or indirect bearing on promoting UNESCO ideals.

6. How International Understanding can be taught at the school level?

(A) Through various subjects like History, Civics, Geography, etc.
(B) By giving numerous opportunities to the students.
(C) By combining the subject content with the curriculum.
(D) All of these.

7. Which phrase from the passage means combined with the curriculum?
(A) Intelligently and imaginatively used in the curriculum
(B) Can be prescribed in the curriculum.
(C) Woven into the curriculum.
(D) None of the above

8. What are the two stages where International Understanding should be taught as a separate subject?
(A) Primary and Secondary stage.
(B) Under-graduate and post-graduate stage.
(C) Secondary and under-graduate stage.
(D) Post-graduate and doctoral stage.
