QUESTIONS AND ANSWERSI. Read the passage carefully , then choose the correct answers:The natural world is under violent assault from man . The seas and rivers are being poisoned by radioactive wastes , by chemical discharges and by the dumping of dangerous toxins and raw sewage . The air we breath is polluted by smoke and fumes from factories and motor vehicles ; even the rain is poisoned .

It’s little wonder forests and lakes are being destroyed and everywhere wildlife is disappearing . Yet the destruction continues .

Governments and industries throughout the world are intensifying their efforts to extract the earth’s mineral riches and to plunder its living resources .



The great rainforests and the frozen continents alike are seriously threatened . And this despite the warnings of the scientific community and the deep concern of millions of ordinary people .

Despite the fact, too, that we can create environmentally – clean industries , harness the power of the sun , wind and waves for our energy needs and manage the finite resources of the earth in a way that will safeguard our future and protect all the rich variety of life forms which share this planet with us .

But there is still hope . The forces of destruction are being challenged across the globe- and at the spearhead of this challenge is Greenpeace .

Wherever the environment is in danger , Greenpeace has made a stand . Its scientific presentations and peaceful direct actions at sea and on land have shocked governments and industries into an awareness that Greenpeace will not allow the natural world to be destroyed . Those actions, too , have won the admiration and supports of millions .

Now you can strengthen the thin green line; you can make your voice heard in defence of the living world by joining Greenpeace today .

Read the passage and answer the questions. Solar energy is a long lasting source of energy that can be used almost anywhere. To generate solar energy, we only need solar cells and the sun. Solar cells can easily be installed on house roofs, so no new space is needed and each user can quietly generate their own energy. Compared to other renewable sources, they also possess many advantages. Solar cells are totally silent and non-polluting. As they have no moving parts, they require little maintenance and have a long lifetime. However, solar energy also has some drawbacks. We can only generate solar energy during daytime because the system depends on sunlight. Besides, solar cells require large area to work effectively. The main disadvantage of solar energy is that it costs about twice as much as traditional sources such as coal, oil, and gas. This is because solar cells are expensive. 1.

Day after day we see its light and feel its warmth , but we do not often consider its origin . Yet there are many remarkable things about the sun . One is its distance from the earth. This is about ninety – three million miles . A journey of this distance , even if it could be made , would take several hundred years even in the fastest rocket . The sun is a large star. The planet earth is very small in comparison. One hundred and nine globes the size of the earth would be needed to stretch from one side of the sun to the other . The sun makes us feel hot, even at a distance of ninety- three million miles . This is not surprising. The temperature on the sun is about ten thousand degrees Fahrenheit. But we receive only a small part of this heat . The total of the sun could melt a column of ice two and a quarter miles thick and ninety- three million miles high in one second .Questions:1. What makes life on the earth possible ?.…………………………………………………………………………………………2. Why would a journey from the earth to the sun not be possible ?…………………………………………………………………………………………3.

There are few hobbies , which are so absorbing as fishing . People say that old men only seek fishing when they feel lonely . I don’t agree . After all I am not old , still I have so much liking for fishing.

My old school work stands in my way , so I could find time for going fishing only on weekends . During holidays , of course , when the weather is fine nothing pleases me more than fishing . I have a special hat , a small fishing basket and my favorite fishing rod . I purchase the necessary worms from the market and put them in the basket . Usually I start after breakfast . I leave work at home that I will return only after evening . Taking my coffee flask , and a few slices of bread , I walk off . My favourite fishing ground lies some two kilometers away from my house .

Once I reach the place , I sit comfortably on the bank of the stream with reeds all around me . Fixing the worm to the hook, I throw the line into the water . It requires a lot of concentration to have an eye on the plumb. Sometime I succeed in landing one or two gold fish . Sometimes I wait for a long day , before I could catch even a small fish . But that does not detract me from going fishing .

Sometime I while away slowly moving time by singing some popular hits . I feel that I am the monarch of all my survey . There is nothing to win and there is not much to lose . There is nobody to conserve and only nature keeps company . So one feels as though one is Yogi .I enjoy the ripples in the water . I enjoy the shoals of fish . I take pleasure in seeing the king fisher . Now and then I may be rewarded with the music of a bird . In short , for those who can temperamentally enjoy loneliness , there is nothing like fishing .
