If life exists on Jupiter, it is most likely to be in the form of bacteria buried deep in the planet’s frozen water or Lichen growing within rocks, say scientists from NASA. There might even be fossilized Jupiter algae locked up in ancient lake, waiting to be found.
Christopher McKay of NASA’s Ames Research center in California told the AAAS that exobiologists, who look for life on other planets, should look for clues among the life forms of the Earth’s ultra-cold regions, where conditions are similar to those on Jupiter.
Lichen, for example, are found within some Antarctic rocks, just beneath the surface where sunlight can still reach them. The rock protects the Lichen water from cold and absorbs water, providing enough for the lichen’s needs, said McKay.
Bacteria have also been found in 3 –million-year-old frozen water dug up from Siberia. If there are any bacteria alive on Jupiter today, they would have had to have survived from the time before the planet cooled more than 3 billion years ago. Nevertheless, McKay is optimistic: "It may be possible that bacteria frozen into the frozen water at the Jupiter South Pole may be viable."
McKay said algae are found in Antarctic lakes with permanently frozen surfaces. Although no lakes are thought to exist on Jupiter today, they might have existed long ago. If so, the dried-out Jupiter lake beds may contain the fossilized remains of algae. On Earth, masses of microscopic algae form large, layered structures known as stromatolites, which survive as fossils on lake beds, and the putative Jupiter algae might have done the same thing, said Jack Farmer, one of McKay colleagues.
The researchers are compiling a list of promising Jupiter lake beds to be photographed from spacecraft, said farmer. Those photographs could help to select sites for landers that would search for signs of life, past or present. "If we find algae on Jupiter, I would say the Universe is lousy with algae," McKay said. "Intelligence would be another question.
146. Bacteria survive in the extreme cold conditions of Antarctica on earth for all the following reasons except:
Some Antarctic rocks protect lichen beneath their surface.
bacteria in the Antarctic frost protect lichen from the residual cold after the rock absorbs Water.
the Antarctic rocks protect the lichen from cold by absorbing water and leaving enough for the lichens needs.
sunlight penetrates the surface of the Antarctic rock where the lichen grows.
147. Exobiologists might find on Jupiter algae similar to stromatolites on earth because:
on our planet stromatolites are formed by microscopic algae.
Jupiter lake beds may contain fossilized remains of algae similar to stromatolites on Earth.
there is evidence that photosynthesis which takes place in earth’s’ algae can be found in Jupiter algae too.
all of the above.
148. All of the following are true, except:
if any bacteria are alive today on Jupiter, they must have survived from the time before the planet cooled.
space photographs of Martian craters should reveal to explorers sings of life there.
3- million year-old Siberian permafrost has revealed, on digging up, bacteria.
bacteria frozen into permafrost at the Jupiter South pole may be viable.
149.The most primitive forms of life likely to exist on the planet Jupiter are all the following except: villus and spore.
bacteria in the permafrost.
fossilized algae in the dried – up lake beds.
lichen.
150. According to Christopher McKay, for finding life on other planets explorers should look for clues Among the earth’s ultra cold regions for all the following reasons except:
ammonia and methane, necessary for early formation of life on earth, are found on the
Jupiter Surface.
earths’ ultra cold regions are similar to those on Jupiter.
lichens are found within the Antarctic rocks in extreme conditions.
bacteria have been found in the permafrost dug up in Siberia.

At this year’s Parliament Conference on small business, to be held in June, one of the topics on the agenda will be how small firms find finance. In counting small firms economists stick to two vague measures. The first is India’s real GDP per company; the lower the figure, the tinier the typical company. This indicator (measured in 1987 Rupees ) fell throughout the 1980s to Rs.237, 000 in 1991. It is increasing again – it is estimated at Rs.248, 000 for last year. The second measure is the share of self-employed workers in the non-farm work force. This reached 8.2% in 1991, up from a low of less than 7% in the mid 1970s, but has since slipped. What is going on? Part of the answer is that small firms are being driven out by large firms which are starting to behave more like their smaller brethren. Big companies, as diverse as Reliance, Richardson and crudas and Tata are pushing decision-making down through the management ranks, restructuring themselves around teams and product-based units and becoming more entrepreneurial. Such firms are also getting leaner. Since the start of the decade, "downsizing" has cut the head count of corporate India by 2.6 million, calculates, Challenger, Grey and Christmas, a consultancy firm in Delhi. Smaller firms try to fight back against these newly competitive giants by growing more swiftly, or by making a wider range of products. Unfortunately, this is often where they stumble. According to research by Robert Nooteboom of chicago’s Groningen University, small firms tend to be good innovators and spend relatively large sums on research and development, but they lag far behind bigger rivals in both market knowledge and the ability to use existing technology to turn inventions into sellable products. In effect, they lack the internal "knowledge network".
151. In beating back competition from small firms, big Indian companies are adopting all of the following measures, except
restructuring themselves around teams and product lines.
pushing decision –making down through the management ranks.
sub-contracting labour-intensive jobs.
getting leaner by removing excess staff.
152. How are small firms reacting to the challenge from big companies to drive them out?
by growing more quickly,
by making a wider range of products.
by investing more in product innovation.
all of the above.
153. The measures for counting small firms in India are:
Contribution to Rupees earning by small firms.
India’s real GDP per company.
share of self-employed workers in the non-farm workforce.
[ 2 ] and [ 3 ] only.
154. Despite being good innovators and spending large sums on Research and Development, small Firms in India lag behind their bigger rivals in all the following ways except that
they lack financial support for their inventions.
they lack the ability to use existing technology to turn inventions into sellable products.
they lack the internal "knowledge network" that big companies in India exploit for success.
they lack market knowledge.
155. All of the following are true, except:
the share of the self-employed persons in the non-farm workforce in mid- 1970s in India was less than 7%.
India’s real GDP per company fell to Rs.237, 000 in 1991 alone.
the Parliament conference on small business in June will focus on how small firms find finance.
in terms of India’s real GDP per company, the lower the figure the tinier the typical company.

Passage – 2
Reading a story-book is, for a child as for an adult, a way of discussing what might happen; to ask what if, in the open dialogue of speech, or the concealed dialogue of imagination. Reading and writing create a mental space for thinking, the space that children inhabit early in their play. From studies of now children’s language develops we learn that individuals boys and girl follow different patterns in speech and in thought as they learn to make sense of the world and to reflect on their lives. There is no straight line to abstract thinking. Language and thinkings meet and change each other at the bumpy intersections of events. There are, however, schooled ways of regulating thinking, conventions for writing about sciences or poetry, for example, that children have to learn. By learning to write and read like a poet or a scientist, pupils in school learn the conventions of poetry and the discourse of the sciences, which control what counts as thinking in these roles. They join the group of those whose literacy they learn, so their thinking becomes a social as well as an individual intellectual activity. Young thinkers look for apprenticeships with those whose words and thoughts interest them. The same holds for footballers as well as photographers, actresses as well as accountants.
97. The disciplined ways of regulating thinking in a child are
familiarity with elementary terms in science and rhyming.
learning to follow the rules of the games when the child is at play.
learning conventions for writing about science or poetry
developing good handwriting by copy book writing.
98.As children develop ability to regulate their thinking,
they begin to imitate the ways of their parents,
they join other groups and learn their ways of thinking and talking.
they make their thinking a social and individuals intellectual activity
[2] and [3] only.
99.Young thinkers develop into budding footballers and actresses by
opting for pre-professional courses at school.
joining training instititues for these roles.
constant exposure to the achievement of their masters in visual media.
serving apprenticeship with those having the same aptitude for the activity.
100.When we read a story for a child,
we create word-picture that stimulate the child’s imagination.
we create that ‘what-if’ possibility in the story context to stir up the child’s imagination.
we teach the child to relate its won experience to the world outside.
all of the above .
101.The mental space for thinking that children develop through reading and writing
supplements their mechanical skills
is created when are at play in the early stages.
is discourages by parents by insistence on formal learning process
helps them to develop creatively in painting, music, etc.
Passage – 3
Captive breeding is a method of breeding in Zoos or reserves, those species of animals, plants, birds, and fish that are close to destruction. The breeding programmes take a great deal of care, particularly during the transition back to the wild, and there have been some notable successes,the red Wolf, the black-footed ferret, the rhinoceros, the California condor, the golden lion tamarind monkey which is a distinct species of monkey, and the bearded vultures of the Alps. Great care is taken, while the animals are in bondage, to keep them as separate as possible in surroundings that resemble as much as possible the original habitats. Efforts are made to ensure that they do not become too accepting of humans. In California, at the Animal Planet Research Centre, elaborate steps are taken to ensure that the chicks of the bald eagle, which is bred in bondage, do not "stamp" humans as parents, which would mean they could not be able to survive alone in the world. The chicks are fed via a glove puppet with an eagle head. Programmes to prepare animals for their relaease include public meetings to reassure local human population and training for the animals in how to go about hunting live prey in readiness for the wild. Once released, the animals are kept in reserves and a strict monitoring programmes is maintained, using radio collars in some cases so that deviating animals can be returned to the reserves or taken back into bondage if they are though to be in danger.
102.Breeding animals in bondage must ensure that they do not become too trusting of humans because
After being taken to the reserve, they must be able to forage for food on their own.
When released in the wild, they must be able to survive, trusting their own instincts.
in their natural habitat later they must be able to protect themselves from enemies.
all of the above.
103. In order that the chicks of the bald eagle in bondage do not "stamp" humans as parents,
they are fed through a glove puppet with an eagle head.
they are given live prey to feed on.
pre-recorded sound from the eagle head simulates it scream.
none of the above.
104. Once released in the wild,
Some animals are made to carry radio collars.
a strict watch is kept on the animal’ reflexes.
Animals are kept in reserves with strict monitoring programmes.
[1] and [3] only.
105.Programmes to prepare captive animals for release in the wild, include all of the following except.
Training the animal in how to go about hunting live prey.
Public meetings to inform the local human population.
Helping animals to sharpen their natural instincts through Pavlovian approach.
[1] and [2] only.
106.Notable successes in captive breeding include all of the following, except
the black-footed ferret.
the californian condor.
The cottontail rabbit.
The golden lion tamarind monkey.
107.To which of the following disciplines does the passage correctly relate ?

Passage – 4
Gailleo’s pioneering achievements look small besides the enormous accomplishments of the succeeding generation of physicists – primarily, of course, those of Sir Isaac Newton. His mathematical tools, improved as they were over those of medieval scientists, were still rudimentary and awkward. He had neither analytic geometry nor calculus to assist him in the description of his ideas and discoveries. Despite the incalculable help of the telescope in observation of the heavens, he lacked date to support his theories. Many of the experiments he described were performed only in his mind in order to illustrate theories, which had been formed without them. But none of this detracts from Galileo’s supreme position as a scientific revolutionary; his conception of the mathematical expression of physical facts and the abstract nature of physical laws makes his work a watershed in Western history. Galileo did not supply conclusive answers to physical questions – his experimentation and mathematics were too faulty - but like Copernicus, he raised questions of tremendous significance.
108.State which of the following statements is false in terms of Galileo’s contributions to science.
He foreshadows Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.
He was a scientific revolutionary who laid the foundation of modern science.
He developed the conception of explaning physics facts in mathematical terms.
The question he raised helped latter day scientists.
109.With his discovery of telescope, Galileo could have achieved more than the later age scientists, but for the fact that.
He had to arrive at his theories without performing experiments.
He lacked the data to support these theories.
He had to reckon with the Church, which opposed his theories.
All of the above except [3].
110.State which of the following statements is true.
Galileo and Newton were contemporaries.
Galileo’s mathematics and experimentation were not good enough to let him give definite answers to physical questions.
Newton discovered the telescope.
The tools used by Galileo were the same as those by medieval scientists.
111.The generation of scientists who succeeded Galileo had better mathematical tools in
quantum analysis calculus analytical geometry [2] and [3] only
112.According to the writer, Newton’s achievement look bigger than Galileo’s for the following reasons except
Newton’s discoveries had the advantage of using Calculus and analytic geometry.
Newton had the advantage of using Galileo’s pioneering work as basis for his own discoveries.
Newton postulated the laws of motion, which Galileo did not.
Newton could perform experiments for his theories, unlike Galileo.
113.The writer’s assessment of Galileo’s scientific achivements is
analytical but slightly biased.
analytical, unbiased, and extensive,
not exhaustive, omits a few vital facts.
within the given space, exhaustive, analytical and unbiased..

Passage – 2
Reading a story-book is, for a child as for an adult, a way of discussing what might happen; to ask what if, in the open dialogue of speech, or the concealed dialogue of imagination. Reading and writing create a mental space for thinking, the space that children inhabit early in their play. From studies of now children’s language develops we learn that individuals boys and girl follow different patterns in speech and in thought as they learn to make sense of the world and to reflect on their lives. There is no straight line to abstract thinking. Language and thinkings meet and change each other at the bumpy intersections of events. There are, however, schooled ways of regulating thinking, conventions for writing about sciences or poetry, for example, that children have to learn. By learning to write and read like a poet or a scientist, pupils in school learn the conventions of poetry and the discourse of the sciences, which control what counts as thinking in these roles. They join the group of those whose literacy they learn, so their thinking becomes a social as well as an individual intellectual activity. Young thinkers look for apprenticeships with those whose words and thoughts interest them. The same holds for footballers as well as photographers, actresses as well as accountants.
97. The disciplined ways of regulating thinking in a child are
familiarity with elementary terms in science and rhyming.
learning to follow the rules of the games when the child is at play.
learning conventions for writing about science or poetry
developing good handwriting by copy book writing.
98.As children develop ability to regulate their thinking,
they begin to imitate the ways of their parents,
they join other groups and learn their ways of thinking and talking.
they make their thinking a social and individuals intellectual activity
[2] and [3] only.
99.Young thinkers develop into budding footballers and actresses by
opting for pre-professional courses at school.
joining training instititues for these roles.
constant exposure to the achievement of their masters in visual media.
serving apprenticeship with those having the same aptitude for the activity.
100.When we read a story for a child,
we create word-picture that stimulate the child’s imagination.
we create that ‘what-if’ possibility in the story context to stir up the child’s imagination.
we teach the child to relate its won experience to the world outside.
all of the above .
101.The mental space for thinking that children develop through reading and writing
supplements their mechanical skills
is created when are at play in the early stages.
is discourages by parents by insistence on formal learning process
helps them to develop creatively in painting, music, etc.
Passage – 3
Captive breeding is a method of breeding in Zoos or reserves, those species of animals, plants, birds, and fish that are close to destruction. The breeding programmes take a great deal of care, particularly during the transition back to the wild, and there have been some notable successes,the red Wolf, the black-footed ferret, the rhinoceros, the California condor, the golden lion tamarind monkey which is a distinct species of monkey, and the bearded vultures of the Alps. Great care is taken, while the animals are in bondage, to keep them as separate as possible in surroundings that resemble as much as possible the original habitats. Efforts are made to ensure that they do not become too accepting of humans. In California, at the Animal Planet Research Centre, elaborate steps are taken to ensure that the chicks of the bald eagle, which is bred in bondage, do not "stamp" humans as parents, which would mean they could not be able to survive alone in the world. The chicks are fed via a glove puppet with an eagle head. Programmes to prepare animals for their relaease include public meetings to reassure local human population and training for the animals in how to go about hunting live prey in readiness for the wild. Once released, the animals are kept in reserves and a strict monitoring programmes is maintained, using radio collars in some cases so that deviating animals can be returned to the reserves or taken back into bondage if they are though to be in danger.
102.Breeding animals in bondage must ensure that they do not become too trusting of humans because
After being taken to the reserve, they must be able to forage for food on their own.
When released in the wild, they must be able to survive, trusting their own instincts.
in their natural habitat later they must be able to protect themselves from enemies.
all of the above.
103. In order that the chicks of the bald eagle in bondage do not "stamp" humans as parents,
they are fed through a glove puppet with an eagle head.
they are given live prey to feed on.
pre-recorded sound from the eagle head simulates it scream.
none of the above.
104. Once released in the wild,
Some animals are made to carry radio collars.
a strict watch is kept on the animal’ reflexes.
Animals are kept in reserves with strict monitoring programmes.
[1] and [3] only.
105.Programmes to prepare captive animals for release in the wild, include all of the following except.
Training the animal in how to go about hunting live prey.
Public meetings to inform the local human population.
Helping animals to sharpen their natural instincts through Pavlovian approach.
[1] and [2] only.
106.Notable successes in captive breeding include all of the following, except
the black-footed ferret.
the californian condor.
The cottontail rabbit.
The golden lion tamarind monkey.
107.To which of the following disciplines does the passage correctly relate ?

Passage – 4
Gailleo’s pioneering achievements look small besides the enormous accomplishments of the succeeding generation of physicists – primarily, of course, those of Sir Isaac Newton. His mathematical tools, improved as they were over those of medieval scientists, were still rudimentary and awkward. He had neither analytic geometry nor calculus to assist him in the description of his ideas and discoveries. Despite the incalculable help of the telescope in observation of the heavens, he lacked date to support his theories. Many of the experiments he described were performed only in his mind in order to illustrate theories, which had been formed without them. But none of this detracts from Galileo’s supreme position as a scientific revolutionary; his conception of the mathematical expression of physical facts and the abstract nature of physical laws makes his work a watershed in Western history. Galileo did not supply conclusive answers to physical questions – his experimentation and mathematics were too faulty - but like Copernicus, he raised questions of tremendous significance.
108.State which of the following statements is false in terms of Galileo’s contributions to science.
He foreshadows Einstein’s Theory of Relativity.
He was a scientific revolutionary who laid the foundation of modern science.
He developed the conception of explaning physics facts in mathematical terms.
The question he raised helped latter day scientists.
109.With his discovery of telescope, Galileo could have achieved more than the later age scientists, but for the fact that.
He had to arrive at his theories without performing experiments.
He lacked the data to support these theories.
He had to reckon with the Church, which opposed his theories.
All of the above except [3].
110.State which of the following statements is true.
Galileo and Newton were contemporaries.
Galileo’s mathematics and experimentation were not good enough to let him give definite answers to physical questions.
Newton discovered the telescope.
The tools used by Galileo were the same as those by medieval scientists.
111.The generation of scientists who succeeded Galileo had better mathematical tools in
quantum analysis calculus analytical geometry [2] and [3] only
112.According to the writer, Newton’s achievement look bigger than Galileo’s for the following reasons except
Newton’s discoveries had the advantage of using Calculus and analytic geometry.
Newton had the advantage of using Galileo’s pioneering work as basis for his own discoveries.
Newton postulated the laws of motion, which Galileo did not.
Newton could perform experiments for his theories, unlike Galileo.
113.The writer’s assessment of Galileo’s scientific achivements is
analytical but slightly biased.
analytical, unbiased, and extensive,
not exhaustive, omits a few vital facts.
within the given space, exhaustive, analytical and unbiased..

Read the passage given below and answer the questions
Passage –1
In its more extreme forms persecution mania is a recognized form of insanity. Some people imagine that others wish to kill them, or imprison them, or to do them some other grave injury. Often the wish to protect themselves against imaginary persecutors leads them into acts of violence which make it necessary to restrain their liberty. This, like many other forms of insanity, is only an exaggeration of a tendency not at all uncommon among people who count as normal. I do not propose to discuss the extreme forms, which are a matter for a psychiatrist. It is the milder forms that I wish to consider, because they are a very frequent cause of unhappiness, and because, not having gone so far as toe produce definite insanity, they are still capable of being dealt with by the patient himself, provided he can be induced to diagnose the trouble rightly and to see that its origin lies within himself and not in the supposed hostility or unkindness of others.
We are all familiar with the type of person, man or woman, who according to his own account, is perpetually the victim of ingratitude, unkindness, and treachery. People of this kind are often extraordinarily plausible, and secure warm sympathy from those who have not known them long, There is, as a rule, nothing inherently improbable about each separate story that they relate. The kind of ill-treatment of which they complain does undoubtedly sometimes occur. What in the end rouses the hearer’s suspicions is the multiplicity of villains whom it has been the sufferer’s ill-fortune to meet with.
In accordance with the doctrine of probability, different people living in a given society are likely in the course of their lives to meet with about the same amount of bad treatment. Of one person in a given set receives, according to his own account, universal ill-treatment, the likelihood is that the cause lies in himself, and that the either imagines injuries from which in fact he has not suffered, or unconsciously behaves in such a way as to arouse uncontrollable irritation. Experienced people therefore becomes suspicious of those who by their own account are invariable ill-treated by the world; they tend, by their lack of sympathy, to confirm these unfortunate people in the view that everyone is against them. The trouble, in fact is a difficult one to deal with, since it is inflamed alike by sympathy and by lack of sympathy. The person inclined to persecution mania, when he finds a hard-luck story believed, will embellish it until he reaches the frontier of credibility; when, on the other had, he finds it disbelieved, he has merely another example of the peculiar hard-heartedness, and this understanding , and this understanding must be conveyed to the patient if its is to serve its purpose.
176. Persecution mania is
a form of temporary insanity.
an exaggerated form of insanity.
in its more extreme forms, an incurable form of insanity
none of the above.
177. The liberty of a person suffering from extreme persecution mania has to restrained because
his ills are imaginary he might turn violent he is insane none of these.
178. The author would seem to suggest that
persecution is present in most normal people.
like persecution, many other forms of insanity quite uncommon in many normal people.
[1] & [2]
in a milder form, many forms of insanity are common among normal people.
179. The author feels that the milder variety of persecution mania can be dealt with by the patient himself because
his affliction has not so far produced definite insanity.
he can induce himself to diagnose his trouble rightly.
he can realize that the origin of his disease lies in himself.
[2] & [3].
180. All the following facts, about people suffering from mild persecution mania are true, except that
they are apparently reasonable.
there is nothing improbable about the stories they tell.
the kind of ill-treatments they complain of do sometimes occur.
they get warm sympathy from those who have known them for long.
Passage – 2
After singing for their supper, bees sleep soundly. When they hover around, sucking fluid from hibiscus flowers during the day, their wings beat about 60 times a second.
An expenditure led by Dr.John Joseph from the University of Aarhus in Denmark went to Brazil to see how bees manage their energy supplies. It concentrated on the grounds of the Biological Museum in Santa Teresa, 500 kilometers north of Rio de Janeiro.
The park boasts of 3,200 wild bees from 15 species, including the tiny Lophornis Magnifica, whose name refers to its green, red, and white plumange rather than its size. Its body would fir onto this paragraph with room to spare.
They found that a hovering ten-gram bees used about half a liter of oxygen every hour. In terms of oxygen per gram, that is about ten times the amount an energetic person might use up in the same time. To pump all this oxygen around its body a bees’ heartbeat has to be high – about 1,440 beats per minute, compared to around 110 for an exercising human. The oxygen is used to burn up food, making the energy that keeps the bird warm and powers its wings. Eating lets it hover, and hovering lets it eat.
During the day such an energetic metabolism keeps a bees’ body temperature at about 40° c. But the bees cannot store enough food in their tiny bodies to keep their temperature that high all night. So, at night L. Magnifica slows its metabolism enough to cut its body temperature by 20-30° c. It may breathe around 50-100 times less oxygen than during the day, which means that it uses by 50-100 times less food. It works well, but it does mean that waking up is hard to do.
Dr. Joseph found that the bees uses almost as much oxygen shivering itself awake in the morning as it does when hovering. It takes the bees about 15-20 minutes to raise its temperature back up to is day-time level – all the time using up energy. With only small food reserves, the bees – especially small ones like L. Magnifica – sometimes get only one chance to wake up. If they nod off again, they sleep the sleep of the dead.
181. Which of the following statement is false?
There are only 15 species of the bees in the world.
Of the bees found on the grounds of the Biological Museum in Santa Teresa, Lophornis magnifica is one of the tiniest.
The bees survive on fluid from flowers.
The name Lophornis magnifica does not refer to the size of the bee.
182. The bees needs to maintain a high rate of heart beat
to send the abnormally high amount of oxygen round its body.
to digest food.
to generate energy.
to keep itself warm.
183. Which of the following statements is false?
The less the weight of a bees, the greater are its chances of dying in its torpor.
A normal human being needs less than a half a litre of oxygen per hour.
The task of the expedition led by Dr-Joseph was to examine how bees managed their energy supplies.
184. Which of the following statements is true ?
The bees eats while it hovers.
In order to keep its night temperature low the bees eats little at night.
Eating gives the bees energy to hover and hovering makes it hungry.
The larger the body of a bees, the faster it hovers.
185. Which of the following measures, even if successfully adopted, is unlikely to bring down the death rate among bees?
A device to shorten the time span the bees take to raise their body temperature while waking up.
A device to make them store more energy in their bodies before and during their sleep
Making them take more nutritious food than fluid from the flowers.
A device to make them breathe at night at the same rate as during the day.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions
Passage –1
In its more extreme forms persecution mania is a recognized form of insanity. Some people imagine that others wish to kill them, or imprison them, or to do them some other grave injury. Often the wish to protect themselves against imaginary persecutors leads them into acts of violence which make it necessary to restrain their liberty. This, like many other forms of insanity, is only an exaggeration of a tendency not at all uncommon among people who count as normal. I do not propose to discuss the extreme forms, which are a matter for a psychiatrist. It is the milder forms that I wish to consider, because they are a very frequent cause of unhappiness, and because, not having gone so far as toe produce definite insanity, they are still capable of being dealt with by the patient himself, provided he can be induced to diagnose the trouble rightly and to see that its origin lies within himself and not in the supposed hostility or unkindness of others.
We are all familiar with the type of person, man or woman, who according to his own account, is perpetually the victim of ingratitude, unkindness, and treachery. People of this kind are often extraordinarily plausible, and secure warm sympathy from those who have not known them long, There is, as a rule, nothing inherently improbable about each separate story that they relate. The kind of ill-treatment of which they complain does undoubtedly sometimes occur. What in the end rouses the hearer’s suspicions is the multiplicity of villains whom it has been the sufferer’s ill-fortune to meet with.
In accordance with the doctrine of probability, different people living in a given society are likely in the course of their lives to meet with about the same amount of bad treatment. Of one person in a given set receives, according to his own account, universal ill-treatment, the likelihood is that the cause lies in himself, and that the either imagines injuries from which in fact he has not suffered, or unconsciously behaves in such a way as to arouse uncontrollable irritation. Experienced people therefore becomes suspicious of those who by their own account are invariable ill-treated by the world; they tend, by their lack of sympathy, to confirm these unfortunate people in the view that everyone is against them. The trouble, in fact is a difficult one to deal with, since it is inflamed alike by sympathy and by lack of sympathy. The person inclined to persecution mania, when he finds a hard-luck story believed, will embellish it until he reaches the frontier of credibility; when, on the other had, he finds it disbelieved, he has merely another example of the peculiar hard-heartedness, and this understanding , and this understanding must be conveyed to the patient if its is to serve its purpose.
176. Persecution mania is
a form of temporary insanity.
an exaggerated form of insanity.
in its more extreme forms, an incurable form of insanity
none of the above.
177. The liberty of a person suffering from extreme persecution mania has to restrained because
his ills are imaginary he might turn violent he is insane none of these.
178. The author would seem to suggest that
persecution is present in most normal people.
like persecution, many other forms of insanity quite uncommon in many normal people.
[1] & [2]
in a milder form, many forms of insanity are common among normal people.
179. The author feels that the milder variety of persecution mania can be dealt with by the patient himself because
his affliction has not so far produced definite insanity.
he can induce himself to diagnose his trouble rightly.
he can realize that the origin of his disease lies in himself.
[2] & [3].
180. All the following facts, about people suffering from mild persecution mania are true, except that
they are apparently reasonable.
there is nothing improbable about the stories they tell.
the kind of ill-treatments they complain of do sometimes occur.
they get warm sympathy from those who have known them for long.
Passage – 2
After singing for their supper, bees sleep soundly. When they hover around, sucking fluid from hibiscus flowers during the day, their wings beat about 60 times a second.
An expenditure led by Dr.John Joseph from the University of Aarhus in Denmark went to Brazil to see how bees manage their energy supplies. It concentrated on the grounds of the Biological Museum in Santa Teresa, 500 kilometers north of Rio de Janeiro.
The park boasts of 3,200 wild bees from 15 species, including the tiny Lophornis Magnifica, whose name refers to its green, red, and white plumange rather than its size. Its body would fir onto this paragraph with room to spare.
They found that a hovering ten-gram bees used about half a liter of oxygen every hour. In terms of oxygen per gram, that is about ten times the amount an energetic person might use up in the same time. To pump all this oxygen around its body a bees’ heartbeat has to be high – about 1,440 beats per minute, compared to around 110 for an exercising human. The oxygen is used to burn up food, making the energy that keeps the bird warm and powers its wings. Eating lets it hover, and hovering lets it eat.
During the day such an energetic metabolism keeps a bees’ body temperature at about 40° c. But the bees cannot store enough food in their tiny bodies to keep their temperature that high all night. So, at night L. Magnifica slows its metabolism enough to cut its body temperature by 20-30° c. It may breathe around 50-100 times less oxygen than during the day, which means that it uses by 50-100 times less food. It works well, but it does mean that waking up is hard to do.
Dr. Joseph found that the bees uses almost as much oxygen shivering itself awake in the morning as it does when hovering. It takes the bees about 15-20 minutes to raise its temperature back up to is day-time level – all the time using up energy. With only small food reserves, the bees – especially small ones like L. Magnifica – sometimes get only one chance to wake up. If they nod off again, they sleep the sleep of the dead.
181. Which of the following statement is false?
There are only 15 species of the bees in the world.
Of the bees found on the grounds of the Biological Museum in Santa Teresa, Lophornis magnifica is one of the tiniest.
The bees survive on fluid from flowers.
The name Lophornis magnifica does not refer to the size of the bee.
182. The bees needs to maintain a high rate of heart beat
to send the abnormally high amount of oxygen round its body.
to digest food.
to generate energy.
to keep itself warm.
183. Which of the following statements is false?
The less the weight of a bees, the greater are its chances of dying in its torpor.
A normal human being needs less than a half a litre of oxygen per hour.
The task of the expedition led by Dr-Joseph was to examine how bees managed their energy supplies.
184. Which of the following statements is true ?
The bees eats while it hovers.
In order to keep its night temperature low the bees eats little at night.
Eating gives the bees energy to hover and hovering makes it hungry.
The larger the body of a bees, the faster it hovers.
185. Which of the following measures, even if successfully adopted, is unlikely to bring down the death rate among bees?
A device to shorten the time span the bees take to raise their body temperature while waking up.
A device to make them store more energy in their bodies before and during their sleep
Making them take more nutritious food than fluid from the flowers.
A device to make them breathe at night at the same rate as during the day.
