Read the following passage and answer the given questions.
I believe that only one person in a thousand knows the trick of really living in the present. Most of us
spend 59 minutes an hour living in the past, with regret for lost joys, or shame for things badly done both
utterly useless and weakening) or in a future which we either long for or dread. Yet the past is gone
beyond repair, and every minute you spend in the vain effort to anticipate the future is a moment lost.
There is only one world, the world pressing against you at this minute. There is only one minute in which
you are alive, this miracle here and now. The only way to live is by accepting every minute as an
unrepeatable miracle. Which is exactly what it is a miracle and unrepeatable.
97. People live either in the past or in the future
a) because they are in the habit of chewing the cud
b) because they are a prey to imaginary fears
c) because they are chained to memory and desire
d) None of these
98. What is an unrepeatable miracle?
a) every moment that we live and spend b) to repair the past
c) to crave for what is not d) None of these
99. The attitude of the author is
a) romantic b) classical c) political d) pragmatic
100. The most suitable title for the passage will be
a) Past is dynamic b) The art of living
c) Importance of the present d) None of these
