Surviving a Snakebite

1. Annually, there are a million cases of snakebite in India and of these, close to 50,000 succumb to the bites.

2. When you look around the countryside, where most bites occur, and notice people's habits and lifestyles, these figures aren't surprising. People walk barefoot without a torch at night when they are most likely to step on a foraging venomous snake.

3. We encourage rodents by disposing waste food out in the open, or by storing foodgrains in the house. Attracted by the smell of rats, snakes enter houses and when one crawls over someone asleep on the floor and the person twitches or rolls over, it may bite in defence.

4.  Once bitten, we don't rush to the hospital. Instead, we seek  out the nearest conman, tie tourniquets, eat vile tasting herbal chutneys, apply poultices or spurious stones, cut/slice/suck the bitten spot, and other ghastly time-consuming deadly "remedies".

5. As Rom cattily remarks: "If the snake hasn't injected enough venom, even popping an aspirin can save your life." That's the key - snakes inject venom voluntarily and we have no way of knowing if it has injected venom, and if it is a lethal dose. The only first aid is to immobilise the bitten limb like you would a fracture, and get to a hospital for anti-venom serum without wasting time.

93. Storing foodgrains in the house is one of the causes for snake bites because

(a) foodgrains attract rats which in turn attract snakes

(b) snakes enter houses in search of stored foodgrains

(c) the smell of foodgrains brings both snakes and other animals into the house

(d) stored foodgrains create convenient hiding places for snakes within houses

94. ... it may bite in defence' (para-3). This observation implies that

(a) a snake is very good at defending itself

(b) a snake may bite a human being in order to defend its prey

(c) human beings are defenceless against snakes

(d) a snake bites a human only when it is threatened

95. What, according to the author, is the reason for the high fatality rate due to snakebites in India?

(b) Lack of scientific knowledge about snakebites

(c) Shortage of anti-venom serum

96. In the instance of a snakebite, what should we do immediately?

(a) Tie torniquets

(b) Eat herbal chutneys

(c) Immobilise the bitten part and get anti-venom serum

(d) Cut-slice-suck the bitten spot

97. Pick out a word from the passage which means 'to go around in search of food'. (Para 2)

(a) Foraging

(b) Countryside

(c) Venomous

(d) barefoot

98. "If the snake hasn't injected enough venom, even popping an aspirin can save your life." This sentence can be rewritten without changing the meaning as

(a) When a snake has not injected enough venom, life can be saved even by swallowing an aspirin.

(b) Life can be saved even by swallowing an aspirin, even though the snake hasn't injected enough venom.

(c) Even popping an aspirin can save your life, in spite of a snake not having injected enough venom.

(d) As long as you are popping an aspirin to save your life, the snake will not inject enough venom.

(b) voluntarily

(c) lethal

(d) serum

गद्यांश

कमजोर विचारक तत्काल उत्तर की ओर दौड़ता है। पर सोचने वाले बच्चे समय लेते हैं। सवाल पर विचार करते हैं। क्या यह अंतर केवल सोचने के कौशल के होने या न होने के कारण है? एक ऐसा कौशल जो केवल एक तकनीक है और जिसे, अगर भाग्य ने साथ दिया तो, हम बुद्धि से बच्चों को सिखा सकते हैं। क्या बच्चों को इस कौशल में प्रशिक्षित कर सकते हैं? मुझे भय है कि ऐसा नहीं है। अच्छा विचारक सोचने में समय इसलिए लगा सकता है, क्योंकि वह अनिश्चय को सह सकता है। वह इस बात को भी झेल सकता है कि वह कोई चीज नहीं जानता । पर कमजोर विचारक को कुछ न जानने की कल्पना ही असहनीय लगती है। क्या इस पूरे विश्लेषण से हम यह नहीं पाते कि असल में इन बच्चों में 'गलत' होने का भय बैठा होता है। बेशक यही भय है जो मोनिका जैसे बच्चों पर भयानक दबाव डालता है। ठीक ऐसे ही दबाव हैल महसूस करता है। शायद मैं भी। मोनिका अकेली नहीं है जो सही होना चाहती है और गलत होने से डरती है। पर यहाँ शायद एक दूसरी असुरक्षा की भावना काम करती होती है। यह असुरक्षा की भावना पैदा होती है सवाल के लिए कोई भी जवाब नहीं होने से।

गद्यांश

अभी भी इस बारे में बहुत कम जानकारी है कि आधुनिक कही जाने वाली आज की दुनिया आखिर कैसे संचालित हो रही है। हालाँकि हरेक देश के पास इसकी कोई-न-कोई अधिकारिक व्याख्या जरूर है कि वे कैसे और किन संदर्भों में आधुनिक हो रहे हैं। लेकिन इस बारे में मेरा कहना है कि आधुनिकता को समझने के लिए जरूरी है कि आप अपने अंदर झाँक सकें। इससे आपको पता चलेगा कि आधुनिकता की राह पर बढ़ने के लिए समाज को किन चीजों की जरूरत होती है। बेशक, आज हर कोई मॉडर्न होना चाहता है, लेकिन आधुनिकता की राह उतनी स्पष्ट नहीं है, जितनी वह मानी जाती है। इसीलिए मैं यह बात बार-बार कहता हूँ कि पश्चिमी समाज कभी-कभी आधुनिक नहीं रहे। पश्चिम के पास एकमात्र उल्लेखनीय चीज है साइंस, जिसमें उसने तरक्की की लेकिन जिन साइंटिस्टों के बलबूते वहाँ आधुनिकता का परचम लहराया जाता है, खुद वे साइंटिस्ट अपने कल्चर में उलझे रहते हैं। उनका यह कल्चर आधुनिकता का झंडाबरदार नहीं है। यह भी नहीं कहा जा सकता है कि उनके कल्चर पर दूसरी संस्कृतियों और लोकाचारों का असर नहीं हुआ होगा। अगर यह असर हुआ है तो सिर्फ वही आधुनिक क्यों कहा जाए?

145. लेखक ने किस बात की अस्पष्टता की ओर संकेत किया है?

146. हर देश ने

(a) अपने द्वारा निर्धारित मानदंडों को सही नहीं कहा है।

(b) अपने आप को आधुनिक साबित किया है

(c) आधुनिक होने के अपने अर्थ और मानदंड तय किए है

(d) आधुनिक होने की समान व्याख्या की है

147. लेखक के अनुसार आधुनिक होने के लिए क्या जरूरी है?

(a) साइंस में तरक्की करना

(b) अपनी संस्कृति का संरक्षण

(c) आधुनिकता की निश्चित परिभाषा

(d) स्वयं का विश्लेषण

148. 'पश्चिमी समाज कभी-कभी आधुनिक नही रहे।' लेखक ने ऐसा क्यों कहा होगा ?

(a) पश्चिमी समाज यह नहीं जानता कि आधुनिक का अर्थ क्या है और कौन-सी चीजें समाज को आधुनिक बनाती हैं

(b) पश्चिमी समाज आधुनिक नहीं है।

(c) पश्चिमी समाज दूसरे कल्चर का असर ग्रहण कर रहा है।

(d) पश्चिमी समाज के पास साइंस है।

149. लेखक इस गद्यांश में क्या कहना चाहता है?

(a) विज्ञान में उन्नति करना ही आधुनिक होने का मानदंड नहीं है।

(b) आधुनिक होने के लिए विज्ञान में तरक्की करना जरूरी है।

(c) पश्चिमी समाज आधुनिक हैं।

(d) आजकल खिचड़ी भाषा का प्रयोग हो रहा है

150. 'साइंटिस्टों शब्द इस ओर संकेत करता है कि'

(a) ऐसे शब्द न तो हिन्दी के रहते हैं और न अंग्रेजी के
