Question

READING
1.
Read the passage below and answer any ten questions that follow :-
To make our life a meaningful one, we need to mind our thoughts, for our thoughts are
the foundation, the inspiration, and the motivating power of our deeds. We create our
entire world by the way we think. Thoughts are the causes and the conditions are the
effects.
Even when inactive on the bodily plane, we are all the time acting on the thought
plane. Therefore, if we observe ourselves, we can easily mould our thoughts. If our
thoughts are pure and noble, naturally actions follow the same. If our thoughts are
filled with jealousy, hatred and greed, our actions will be the same.
Trying to keep a thought from our mind can produce the very state we are trying to
avoid. We can alter our environment to create the mood. When, for instance, we are
depressed, if we sit by ourselves trying to think cheerful thoughts, we often do not
succeed. But if we mix with people who are cheerful we can bring about a change in
our mood and thoughts. Every thought we think, every act we perform, creates in us an
impression, like everything else, is subject to cyclic law and becomes repetitive in our
mind. So, we alone have the choice to create our thoughts and develop the kind of
impressions that make our action more positive.
