The habit of reading is one of the greatest resources of mankind; and we enjoy reading books that belong to us much more than if they are borrowed. A borrowed book is like a guest in the house: it must be treated with punctiliousness, with certain, considerate formality. You must see that it sustains no damage; it must not suffer while under your roof. You cannot leave it carelessly, you cannot mark it, you cannot turn down the pages, you cannot use it familiarly.
But your own books belong to you; you treat them with that affectionate intimacy that annihilates formality.
Books are for use, not for show, a good reason for marking favourite pages in books is that this practice enables you to remember more easily the significant sayings, to refer to them quickly.
Everyone should begin collecting a private library in youth; one should have one’s own bookshelves, which should not have doors, glass windows, or keys; they should be free and accessible to the hand as well as to the people and for the people. Literature is an immortal part of history; it is the best and most enduring part of personality.

In the following questions, you have four passage with 5/10 questions in each passage. Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each question, out of the four alternatives.
Andaman and Nicobar Islands consist of mainly two groups of islands, with distinctive features of the original residents – Negroid and Mongolese. It is strange to see how these two different groups migrated to these islands so far from the mainland – from India and Myanmar. The aboriginals found in these islands are the Jarawas, senselessness, Onges, Shompenites, mainly found in Andaman and the Nicobarese in Nicobar. Of these the Nicobarese in general, and some of the Onges, have accepted the so-called modern civilization and learned the use of modern tools and facilities.
They can be seen frequently in the port Blair market. The aboriginals are looked after by the Anthropological Department of the Government, who make regular visits to their islands and supply them with food and other necessities.
These aboriginals still do not know how to use a matchbox and prepare fire by rubbing two pieces of wood; they also do not know the use of cloth. If the people from the Anthropological Department offer them clothes, they use them only as turbans and not to wrap their bodies.
