5
It
is the dream
of
every
Indian
student
to
pursue
further
studies
and
a career
in
the U.S.
1n the
past 6
years
itself, the
number
of
Indian
students
in
tlre
University of
Illinois
has
increased
from
500
to
over
1500.
As.a
student
of
IIT,
Mumbai
and an
IT
professor
at
the University
of Illinois,
I
feel
that
the
.American
Dream'
is
not
as attractive
a
proposition
as
it looks
from
the
Indian
viewpoint.
There
are
many
factors
which
Indian
students
do
not consider
when
tryrng
pursue a career
in itre
U.S.
The
first major
factor
is
the recession
in
the
US
economy
and
a
slump
in
the
IT
industry.
As
a
result
of
these
two
factors,
jobs
are
extremely
hard
to
come
by.
In
fact, the
IT
job
market
in lndia
is
much
better
than
the
job
market
in this
sector
in
the
US.
Also
during
retrenchment
and
staff
reductions,
Indians
and
other
Asians
are
the
first
to be
shoWn

Read
the
following
passage and
answer
the
questions that
follow
:
Isaac
Newton
is
considered
to be
arncing
the^
greatest
scientists
of
E:rgland.
His
theory
of light
and
colour,
the three
laws of_motion
and
th3
law
of
gravitation
are among
his most
atnazing
achievements.
He
was
fully
devoted
to
his
work.
probably
that
is
why
he,
never
married.
He
also
preferred a
quiet life
and
avoidedcomPany.
Newton
did
his
work
with
great concentration.
When
he was
absorbed
in
his
wopk,
he
became
absent-minded
and
unaware
of
his
surroundings.
Once
he
invited
a
few
friends
{o
dinner.
While
tnlking to
them, he
went out
to look
for
something
he
needed
Just
then;
he
came
rry
with
an
idea and
forgetting
everything,
he
headed
straight
to his
study-
There he
opened
his files
and
got
busy
in
his
calculations.
When
he failed
to
oome back
even
after a long time,
his
friends
got worried
and
started
searching
for
him
everywhere'
They
even
organized
a
search
party to
locate
him.
Then
smebody
located
him
in
his
stridy,
totally
immersed
in
his work.
Whe,n
Newton
realized he
had
caused
inconvenience
to
his
friends,
he
felt
quite
e,mbarrassed.
But his
friends
were
aware
of his
absent-mindedness
and
hiS love
forwOrk,
so
they
forgave
him.
