Q.6-10. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it. Certain words have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering some questions.
One moment, my computer screen was abuzz with a lively wallpaper and superfast download taking place. The next minute, it went blank. My PC crashed. But how was this possible? I had installed one of the best anti-virus softwares on the system. After all, all my music, films, and the best of wallpapers were gone! After the panic subsided. I realised not all was lost. The crash had happened once before too and I had learnt a valuable lesson, I had copied some films and music on to CDs. But the new movies and music that I had downloaded since then were gone. I felt the loss sorely. And then a thought came to me. Imagine if all our memories, saved for years upon years in our heads, blanked out one fine day! Say, if a virus like an accident or trauma washed away our good and not-so-good memories. Wouldn't we turn into zombies, left with a body without an identity? I wonder what life must be like for those suffering from Alzheimer's disease. I have read and seen on television shows how sometimes memory lost in a traumatic incident can come back. But what if it did not come back? What if the 'waiting' never ended? The person's loved ones would be reduced to strangers. For those relationships are alive only on the strength of shared memories.Is there any way to insure our memories? If only we could make a 'copy' of these human memories to keep them safe! I wish, just like in the world of Harry Potter, memories could be extracted with a magical wand and put into a basin called Pensive, to be reviewed at leisure. But back in the world of muggles, keeping a diary is a good way of making a 'copy' of our memories. Perhaps if our memory ever left us, we could open our diaries and read in our own handwriting of our daily heartbreaks, routine chores, breaking news or a treasured achievement.
