    A distributed processing system is proposed as a partial solution to two potential problems with a simple timesharing computer system for a factory. The problems are system downtime causing work stoppage, and saturation as more users increase response times. The distributed system uses a central powerful computer connected through a network to microcomputers at each user station, allowing local processing to avoid overloading the central system. This configuration provides backup processing capability if the central system fails and prevents saturation by distributing the workload across multiple computers.

    Summarize the following passages and give a suitable title.
    In order to computerise a factory, we need to develop a timesharing system. By computerising
    a factory, we mean that we want to make computer use available to as many people in the
    factory as possible, as cheaply as possible. However, there are two potential problems of a
    simple time-sharing system. The first potential problem is, “What happens if the computer is
    not working?” The answer to this question is that everything grinds to a halt. In a situation
    where people have become dependent on computer, not much gets done until the computer is
    up and running again. The old saying about putting all your eggs in one basket comes to ones
    mind here. The second potential problem of the simple timesharing system is saturation.
    Saturation is the result of an increase in the number of users. As the number of users increases,
    the time it takes the computer to do each user’s task also increases. Eventually, the computer’s
    response time to each user becomes unreasonably long. People get very upset about the time
    they have to wait. A partial solution for the two potential problems of a simple timesharing
    system is to use a distributed processing system. The system has a powerful central computer
    with a large memory and a high-speed printer. Moreover, each user has a micro-computer
    instead of simply a video display terminal. In other words, each user station is an independently
    functioning micro-computer with a CPU, ROM, RAM, and probably magnetic or optical disc
    memory. This means that a person can do many tasks locally on the micro-computer without
    having to use the large computer at all. Since micro-computers are connected to the large
    computer through a network, a user can access the computing power, memory, or other
    resources of the large computer when needed.

    Passage 2
    English education and English language have done immense goods to India, in spite of their
    glaring drawbacks. The notions of democracy and self-government are the born of English
    education. Those who fought and died for mother India's freedom were nursed in the cradle of
    English thought and culture. The West has made contribution to the East. The history of Europe
    has fired the hearts of our leaders. Our struggle for freedom has been inspired by the struggles
    for freedom in England, America and France. If our leaders were ignorant of English and if
    they had not studied this language, how could they have been inspired by these heroic struggles
    for freedom in other lands? English, therefore, did us great good in the past and if properly
    studied will do immense good in future. English is spoken throughout the world. For
    international contact our commerce and trade, for the development of our practical ideas, for
    the scientific studies, English-is indispensable "English is very rich in literature," our own
    literature has been made richer by this foreign language. It will really be a fatal day if we
    altogether forget Shakespeare, Milton, Keats and Shaw.
