Q.1) Read the passage given below.
(10)
The choices we make on a daily basis-wearing a seatbelt, lifting heavy objects
correctly
or purposely staying out of any dangerous situation can either ensure our
safety
or bring about potentially harmful circumstances.
You and I need to make a decision that we are going to get our lives in order.
Exercising self-control, self-discipline and establishing boundaries and borders in
our lives are some of the most important things we can do. A life without discipline
is one that's filled with carelessness.
We can think it's kind of exciting to live life on the edge. We like the image of "Yeaht
That's me! Living on the edge! Woohoo!" It's become a popular way to look at life
But if you see,even highways have lines, which provide margins for our safety while
we're driving. If we go over one side, we'll go into the ditch. If we cross over the line
in the middle, we could get killed. And we like those lines because they help to keep
us safe. Sometimes we don't even realize how lines help to keep us safe.
I'm not proud of this, but for the first 20 years of my life at work, I Ignored my
limits. I felt horrible, physically, most of the time. I used to tell myself "I low!
have limits and that I've reached them, but I'm going to ignore them and see if or
how long I can get by with it." I ran to doctors, trying to make myself feel better
through pills, vitamins, natural stuff and any thing I could get my hands on. Some
of the doctors would tell me, "It's just stress." That just made me mad. I thought
stress meant you don't like what you do or can't handle life, and I love what I do
But I kept pushing myself, traveling, doing speaking engagements and so on-simply
exhausting myself. Finally, I understood I was living an unsustainable life and
needed to make some changes in my outlook and lifestyle.
You and I don't have to be like everyone else or keep up with anyone else. Each of
us needs to be exactly the way we are, and we don't have to apologize for it. We're
not all alike and we need to find a comfort zone in which we can enjoy our lives
instead of making our selves sick with an overload of stress and pressure.
On the basis of your understanding of the passage, answer the following questions
1. The reason why living on the edge has become popular, is because of the
A. constant need for something different
B. population being much young
C. exhausting effort to make changes.
D, strong tendency to stay within our limits.
