Need passages/articles of very high English Standard

Hi,
I am Karthik from India and I am preparing for competitive exams. Reading Comprehension (RC) is a major part of these exams. RC passages (in these exams) are of high English standard and from diverse topics. Hence to improve my Reading speed and comprehending ability, I am looking for some sites, which will have essays/articles/passages of very good English. If these passages have diversified topics and use long/complex English sentences, it will be an added advantage.

Please help me in this regard and suggest me something.
Ur reply will be of immense help in my career.


Thanks,
Karthik
