Directions(Q61-70): Read the following passage and answer the questions. Some words are given in bold which will help you in answering the questions.

Infrastructure projects take a long time to build but then deliver cashflows over an extended period. Pension funds have liabilities thats stretch over several decades. Why not get the latter to finance the former? A new report from the Organisation for Economic Co-oporation and Development (OECD)estimates that global pension funds havejust 0.9° ovoftheir portfolios in pure infrastructure. In part that is due to the OECD’s decision to define infrastructure assets as unlisted debt and equity. But pension funds have significant exposure to listed shares and bonds ofpowcr companies and the like. From the point of view of public policy, however, the OECD‘s definition is the correct one. The utility shares Owned by pension funds are those of power companies that were privatised in the 1980's and 1990's; the infrastructure they operate was the result of Govt spending in previous decades. Governments would like to see more infrastructure get built, though at the moment public finances are very tight. They would rather not bear the whole burden. The difficult bit about infrastructure projects apart from the original decision to commission them is the cost ofconstruction. That is where governments would like pension funds, and the rest ofthe private sector to open their wallets. 
Risk is clearly one important factor. Pension funds want reliable cashflows that can be used to pay retirees, not the uncertainties that are associated with projects. As the OECD report points out, there is a lack of objective high-quality data on infrastructure investments. This makes it difficult for funds to calculate how infrastructure would fit into their portfolios. Another problem is that small pension funds may lack the expertise to get involved in such large projects. They have to invest via an infrastructure fund and pay a management fee for the privilege. The biggest infrastructure investors so far have been the giant Australian and Canadian pension funds, which can benefit from economies of scale. Britain is trying to achieve the same effect by setting up Pensions Investment Platform which will pool infrastructure investments. However, the scheme has been slow to get going and not been sufficient to fund Britain’s highest-profile project, a proposed high
speed rail-line. Additional problems include the lack of political certainty. Capital spending is often the first item to be cut when governments run into budget difficulties and tough decisions are put off to suit electoralcycles.  One possible solution is for governments to borrow a separate sum to finance infrastructure spending with the stated intention of selling assets to the likes of pension funds over a number of years. Such debt could be recorded separately in the national accounts. An alternative option could be a National InveStment Bank along the lines of the European Investment Bank. It would borrow from the market and use its capital to guarantee the equity portion of infrastructure projects. That would allow pension funds to buy the more secure debt elements of the project’s funding. The need is clear. Among the G-7 countries, only Italy is recorded as having worse infrastructure. There is no shortage of potential funding Britain’s pension assets are equal to  112% of GDP. Clearly they can be put together. The Olympics showed that Britain can build projects on time when the country puts its mind to it.

Directions (Q. 81-90): Read the following passage carefully and answer the given questions. Certain words are given in bold to help you locate them while answering some of the questions. 
In Our day and age, technology is omnipresent and an integral part of our lives. However, although the main purpose of technology is to make our lives easier, the reactions and opinions on technology are very DIVERSE. This year, various sessions at the Women’s Forum covered the influence of new technologies on our daily life. It is worthwhile analysing two contrasting perspectives in depth, to understand how broad this debate is. On the one hand, technology and digital media can be a great help to reach out to other people and SPREAD your message to a very large platform. The session “How to be a digital influencer" was analysing exactly this question and introduced various platforms and. strategies on how to use the digital world to your advantage. Social media. removes all distances: geographic,‘social and hierarchical.  You can reach anyone, at any time, and communicate in real time. Thus, a permanent link for communication has been created.  Today everyone has the ability to transmit knowledge, and thus  the credibility of the creator of knowledge is more important than ever before. Technology has taken the universal communication method of storytelling and transformed it in a way that now more stories can reach more people through social-media platforms than ever before. People should find their digital media voice, tell sharable stories and drive ENGAGEMENT. Also, it is very important to be authentic and truly passionate about the message you are trying to convey through the digital media. Another session, the very same day, analysed how exactly the opposite is true and how new technologies actually cause stress and suffering, because of a concept referred to as “lnfobesity”. During this session, it was argued that due to the acceleration of our lives led by the acceleration of technology, we have changed the way we consume and generate information. People are trying to live ten lives at once and a lot of stress and anxiety occurs from that. Thus, we are suffering from digital bulimia, meaning that we take in a lot of information at once, without really processing it for. ourselves, and in turn create a lot of new information. We are at the same time creators and victims of information overload. Thus. it is obvious that technological advancement has failed at its mission of making everybody’s life'easier, as many people are reacting negatively to it. It is really an irony. On the one hand, the technology we are surrounding ourselves with is DESIGNED to give us more time for' ourselves which is something we all want. However, today, while technology is as developed as ever before, we are living in a time with the biggest scarcity of time. For example, the invention of the car allowed us to save time, when compared to walking. However, it also made us want to go further by giving us this option, so overall we spend more time getting to places. The same is true for other technologies we want to travel to more countries, learn more, and fall in love more often. The search for content and experience has become the  meaning of life for many. So whether technology is aiding our life and making it easier, or creating new challenges and stress for us, really depends on how we react and interact with the new ’ technologies. lf-when technology solves one of’our problems we keep immediately coming up with new, larger problems, no technology will ever be able to satisfy our constantly new needs. However, if we allow technology to make our life easier, and focus more on the quality. rather than the quantity of life, and also learn how to use technology to our greatest advantage -such as how to use it to influence others -we can all greatly benefit.
