Certain words/ phrases have been printed in BOLD to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. One of the reasons, the rich get richer, the poor get poorer and the middle class struggles in debt is because the subject of money is taught at home not in school. Most of us learn about money from our parents. Schools focus on scholastic and professional skills. This explains how smart bankers, doctors and accountants who earned excellent grades in school may still struggle www.kalingaacademy.com 9853548747 Page 6 KALINGA ACADEMY financially all their lives. Our staggering national debt is in large part due to highly educated politicians and government officials making financial decisions with little or no training on the subject of money. I often look ahead to the new millennium and what will happen when we have millions of people who will need financial and medical assistance. Because I had two influential fathers, I learned from both of them. I had to think about each dad’s advice and in doing so I gained valuable insight into the power and effect of one’s thoughts on one’s life. For example, one dad had a habit of saving, “I can’t afford it”. The other dad forbade those words to be used. He insisted I say “How can I afford it?” He did not mean you buy everything you wanted. He was fanatical about exercising your brain, the most powerful computer in the world. He believed that automatically saying ‘I can’t afford it,’ was a sign of mental laziness. Although both dads worked hard, I noticed that one dad had a habit of putting his brain to sleep when it came to money matters, and the other had a habit of exercising his brain. The long term result was that one dad grew stronger financially and the other grew weaker. It is not much different from a person who goes to gym to exercise on a regular basis versus someone who sits on the couch watching television. Proper physical exercise increases your chance for health, and proper mental exercise increases your chance for wealth. Laziness of both decreases health and wealth. Money is one form of power. But what is more powerful is financial education. Money comes and goes, but if you have the education about how money works, you gain power over it and can begin building wealth. The reason why positive thinking alone does not work is because most people went to school and never learned how money works, so they spend their lives working for money. 71. Most of the people are poor and or are struggling in debt because, 1) The schools focus on scholastic and professional skills 2) People have no “money power” 3) Politicians and government officials make financial decisions 4) People have not been educated to make money work for them 5) None of these 72. According to the author, to build wealth 1) Education and learning about how money works, is a must 2) Positive thinking, power over money and exercising brain are a must 3) One must gain, power over money learning from parents. 4) School education must improve on how to make money 5) None of these 73. The core learning one can gain from the above passage is best highlighted by the statement below is, 1) If financial education is imparted in schools, everyone will be in a position to meet his/her financial and medical needs on his/her own 2) Those who taught money matters at home are more successful 3) Sound financial education, quality of thinking and exercising of body can make one healthy and wealthy 4) Parents positive thinking and sound schooling can make people rich 5) None of these 74. The reference how can ‘I afford it’ in the passage, 1) Envisages how to make things happen and have it 2) Emphasizes the importance of positive thinking 3) Emphasises the point that how can one afford something which is not in one’s control? 4) Dismisses things which are not affordable www.kalingaacademy.com 9853548747 Page 7 KALINGA ACADEMY 5) None of these 75. According to the passage above, it can be deducted that a nation cannot progress to economic independence, 1) If schools focus on scholastic and professional skills only 2) If parents keep saying “how can I afford it” 3) If the educated work for money 4) If the politicians and government officials make financial decisions 5) None of these 76.
