DIRECTIONS: Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions.
How do we resist change? We tend to respond to change the same way we respond to anything we perceive as a threat: by flight or fight. Our first reaction is flight we try to avoid change if we can. We do what futurist Faith Popcorn calls ‘cocooning’: We seal ourselves off from those around us and try to ignore what is happening. This can happen in the workplace just by being passive. We don’t volunteer for teams or committees; we don’t make suggestions, ask questions, or offer constructive criticism. But the changes ahead are inescapable. Those who “cocoon” themselves will be left behind. Even worse is to fight, to actively resist change. Resistance tactics might include negativity, destructive criticism, and even sabotage.
Take a different approach to change. Rejecting both alternatives of flight or flight, we seek a better option one that neither avoids change nor resists it, but harnesses and guides it. Change can be the means to your goals, not a barrier to them. Both fight and flight are reactions to perceiving change as a threat. But if we can change our perceptions, we can avoid those reactions. An old proverb goes, “Every change brings an opportunity.” In other words, we must learn to see change as a means of achieving our goals, not a barrier preventing us from reaching them.
26) What would be the most appropriate title of the passage?
A) Change A barrier in life
B) ChangeA threat to life
C) How to Cope with Change
D) None of the above
27) What message does the writer want to convey through the passage?
A) We should either avoid a change or resist it.
B) Changes should be accepted positively as they bring Opportunities in life.
C) We should keep ourselves away from any kind of sudden change.
D) None of the above
28) What will be a synonym of the word ‘barrier’?
A) help
B) obstacle
C) aid
D) assistance
29) What does the term ‘cocooning’ in the passage suggest?
A) To socialize and enjoy life.
B) To stay isolated or away from life and people.
C) To live in a comfortable and luxurious place.
D) None of the above.
30) What does the word ‘harness’ mean?
A) Control and make use of something especially in a positive or constructive way.
B) To avoid something deliberately.
C) To keep away from it unknowingly.
D) None of the above.
