QID : 232 - Read the passage carefully and select the best answer to each question out of the given four alternatives.The first thing is that the rich people of the world should start living in communes. Let those communes be of the rich! So they will not be dragged down from theirstandard of life, their comforts, and their luxuries. Let there be, around the world, hundreds of communes of rich people – that is, rich communes.And to me, wealth is a certain kind of creativity. If five thousand rich people who have all created wealth individually are together, they can create wealth a millionfold.Their standard will not go lower; their standard could go even higher. Or they can start sharing. They can start inviting people who are not rich but who arecreative in some other way, who will enhance the life of their commune although they may be poor.Five thousand rich people, together with their genius for creating wealth, are capable of creating so much wealth that they can invite thousands of other people whomay not be rich in the sense of being wealthy, but who may be rich as painters, poets, dancers, singers.What are you going to do only with wealth? You cannot play music on money; you cannot dance just bec ause you have so much cash in the bank. And these richcommunes can start becoming bigger, absorbing more and more creative people. They can make beautiful places all around the world, and slowly, new people canbe absorbed.For example, you will need plumbers, however rich you may be; you will need mechanics; technicians; you will need shoemakers. Invite them – and they come toyou not as servants, but as members of the commune. Slowly, we can transform the whole world – without any bloodshed and without any dictatorship.A communism that comes out of love, out of intelligence, out of generosity, will be real. A communism that comes through force is going to be unreal. Th ere is not asingle man in the world, howsoever poor, who has nothing to contribute. Around the world all the rich communes will need people; and slowly, slowly your communewill become bigger and bigger.The rich will not become poor, but the poor will become rich, and respectable, and equal – in no way inferior to anybody else – because they are also functioning inthe same way as anybody else. And whatever they are doing is needed as much as anybody else’s expertise is needed.According to the passage, what is not necessarily true about those who are not rich in the sense of being wealthy?1). They may be poor but they would still have something to contribute.2). They cannot play music or dance.3). they may not be wealthy, but the y may be rich as painters, poets, dancers or singers.4). They may be able of making your surroundings beautiful |
