PART ONE: VERBAL APTITUDE TEST (50°7«)

Section one:- Reading Comprehension

Read the passage and answer the questions following it.

A few years ago, a British newspaper published an aid worker’s recollection of a shopping trip with Mother Teresa, They were in local supermarket buying supplies for her London mission. When they reached the counter, and were presented with a bill for about 500 pounds, Mother Teresa refused to pay, saying, “It is for the poor”. She remained unmoved by the demands of the store — keeper and an impasse prevailed until a kindly shopper, at the back of the growing queue, volunteered to pay.

This story, and many others, illustrates well Mother Teresa’s impressive skills as a manipulator. Some of her supporters might find description insulting, even sacrilegious, but to deny it would be naive. She is after all a missionary — a person whose job is to change other people’s minds.

One of her most famous conversions was the British journalist. Malcolm Muggeridge. So taken was he by this little Albanian nun that, in 1969, he made a television film about her called something Beautiful for God. Then he converted to Catholicism. It was a classic missionary’s barter: she put him in touch with his soul, he put her in touch with the public, and convinced she was a living saint.

But Mother Teresa stopped trying to convert people to Catholicism long ago. Instead, she concentrates looking after society’s rejects, and is happy to let them believe what they like. Her first mission, set up in Calcutta in 1950, has fed and cared for an estimated 50,000 homeless, sick and dying people. So it’s not surprising that, to Catholics, only the pope is more holy.

And she is not only feted by Catholics. Across the world, she is seen as symbol of charity and goodness; a selfless angel in a World where greed and market economics are enriching the few at the expense of the many.

But Mother Teresa is more than just caring soul. Her enormous popularity helped along by 1979 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts to relieve poverty has given her huge influence among the wealthy and the powerful. And she has not hesitated to use that influence to encourage , cajole and even shame them into giving money to her Missions of Charity, or to improving the lives of the less fortunate.
