You would hvae heard about it by now. Yes, Pluto
is no longer considered a planet.
For instance, Pluto is the only known heavenly
body that rotates in sychrony with the orbit of its
satellite.
It is to be called a “dwarf planet” henceforth.
So, unlike the earth and our moon, Pluto and
Charon continuously face feach other.
Even in the past, Pluto’s status had remained shaky
and was always considered a peculiar planet.
Discovered in 1930, and named after the Roman
god of the underworld, Pluto has an icy surface
composed of nitrogen and methane and weighs just
a fifth of the weight of our moon.

Environment is the place where all forms of life
exist, live and prosper.
Thus, there is a network of life forms with a close
association among themselves and with the nonliving matter.
Any life form can exist on earth only if the integrity
of all the components are maintained.
Human life is closely linked with all the other
forms in the environment and also with the
inanimate objects like air, water and had.
If any one component of this network is disturbed,

the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each
question out of the four alternatives
PASSAGE-I
Some people say that man’s desire for war is due to his fight
for survival and that war is necessary to preserve his virility.
Yet, war nowadays leaves a legacy of the weakest men and
stimulates not the noble but the bestial qualities of mankind.
Adventure of some kind is necessary for man; he will
inevitably deteriorate physically and mentally if his life is
one of ease and luxury lived in an atmosphere of ‘Safety First’.
This is the real reason behind our love of sports in the open
air. It is no use being a millionaire if one suffers from chronic
indigestion; a tramp with good innards is far happier. Nothing
that money can buy is worthwhile without good health. There
is no better way to perfect health and physical fitness than to
walk over or climb and mountains.
But mountains give us much more than mere physical fitness;
they exercise the mental faculties as well. Climbing a high
and difficult peak is as much a mental exercise as a physical
exercise. It calls for sense and judgment for planning and
thinking ahead, for anticipating difficulty and danger, for
responsibility towards one’s companions, and best of all, it
brings the mountaineer into touch with the beauties of the
universe.
171. According to the passage, nothing that money can buy
is worthwhile
(a) without love of sports
(b) without adventure
(c) without good health
(d) without good mental faculties
172. If a man leads of life in an atmosphere of ‘Safety First’
he will
(a) improve physically and mentally
(b) deteriorate physically and mentally
(c) improve physically but deteriorate physically
(d) improve mentally but deteriorate physically
173. Which is the best way to perfect health and physical
fitness, according to the passage?

Placebo literally means “I shall please.” Placebos are inert
substances given to some volunteers in a viven study while
other volunteers are treats with experimental drugs-whose
effect is tested by measuring the difference is response to the
powerless placebo and to the drug. Some of a group of
volunteers who had just had their wisdom teeth extracted were
given morphine to alleviate their pain; the other swallowed a
placebo they believed to be morphine. Many of the placebo
recipients said they experienced dramatic relief from their
pain. However, when a drug that blocks the effects of
endorphin was given them, the pain returned almost
immediately. The test confirmed something very important:
When a patient believes he or she has been given a pain
reliever, the brain released chemicals to substantiate that
belief. In short, the placebo effect is a act of faith. Very recent
studies have determined that the placebo effect is much more
powerful than previously imagined. So be careful what you
believe and pretend-it may come to pass.

given following the consumption of placebo?
(a) They experienced relief after taking the medicine
(b) They felt pain after taking them

medicines

(d) The body deceived the mind
178. What has the experiment confirmed?

(c) Effects of endorphins
(d) The power of faith
179. To whom are Placebos administered?
(a) To all patients in pain
(b) To some volunteers in pain
(c) To volunteers in good health
(d) To all volunteers in pain

PASSAGE-III
There is a general impression among the public that our
schools and colleges educate students. That some kind of
uncritical knowledge is imparted to the students is beyond
any doubt. Students are made to copy notes, learn them by
heart, and reproduce it during examination. Those who learn
by heart and reproduce it to the exact letter are considered as
the best. Others who do not succeed in the exercise are termed
‘failures’. The examination results are all a grading in memory
work which has nothing to do with education. An educated
person is one who has developed qualities of mind and heart,
and who can critically evaluate thing and objectively decide
the course of his action based on factual information.
The impression that the students gather in the years of their
academic life are important for their future. In fact, attitudes
to life are built on what is happening in the academic
institutions. They type of things that are taught, the ways and
methods of communication and the mental attitudes of these
who teach are primary in education. What are some of the
things taught in our institution? The first thing that the student
learns is that the teacher is always right. Students do not know.
181. What is the impression of the author about our schools
and colleges?
(a) That they educate students
(b) That they help students to develop qualities of mind
and heart

PASSAGE-IV
A dog is very sensitive to atmosphere. He knows when you
have lost your temper almost before you do and if you want to
do anything with a dog never lose your temper! Whatever
you do with him. Talking of this awareness of atmosphere,
his utter loyalty can lead to great jealousy. When I married,
my little dog-Paragon was him name - nearly wrecked the
home with his jealousy. The bottom had fallen out of his life
when an intruder came into the management of the house,
and he would sit about with his back to us, his back a speaking
picture of misery, looking blindly into space. It was years
before he would condescend to recognize my wife’s existence.
More dangerous is the jealousy a dog can develop towards a
new baby in the family.
Another thing to remember is that a dog is found of compact,
specially the company of his own kind. In a wild state, they
habitually go about in groups, either small family groups or
in packs; and you see the same instinct at work, in civilization.
Dogs left loose in streets and in parks will nearly always
gravitate into gangs, following each other looking around for
mischief, adventure like so many urchins. So it is a good
thing to let your dog have plenty of friends. The lonely dog
will often become a fighter.

PASSAGE-V
For the past several years, scientists have issued ominous
warning about the future of the Earth’s climate. Predictions
of dramatic global changes arising from the continued
dumping of industrial by-products into the atmosphere and
forest loss of massive scale can no longer be ignored.
Compelling scientific evidence strongly suggests that world
climate patterns, previously regarded as reliably stable, could
be thrust into a state of turmoil. Emissions of natural and
synthetic gases are increasing the heat-trapping capacity of
the atmosphere through a phenomenon known as the
greenhouse effect. The projected impacts of this world-wide
climatic disruption dwarf of the environmental problems of
the past

PASSAGE - IV
Read policemen, both in Britain and the United States; hardly

see on TV - if they ever get home in time. There are
similarities, of course, but the cops don’t think much of them.
The first difference is that a placeman’s real life revolves round
the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to
know exactly what action are crimes and what evidence can
be used to used to prove them in court. He has to known
nearly as much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more,
he has to apply it on his feet, in the and rain, running down
an alley after someone he wants to wants to talk to.
Little of his time is spent in chatting to scantily-clad ladies or
in dramatic confrontations with desperate criminals. He will
spend most of his working life typing millions of words on
thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people
who are guilty - or not - of stupid, petty crimes.
Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal; as
soon as he’s arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding
criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very seriure

effort is spent on searching. The police have an elaborate
machinery which eventually shows up most wanted men.
