Some people say that mans 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 hills and mountains. But mountains give us much more than mere physical fitness; they

Placebo literally means "I shall please. Placebos are inert substances given to some volunteers in a given study while
other volunteers are treated with experimental drugs whose effect is tested by measuring the difference in 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 others 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
enaorphine 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 releases chemicals to substantiate that
belief. In short, the placebo effect is an 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.
Q134. What is peculiar about the volunteers response to drugs given following the consumption of placebo ?
(A) They experienced relief after taking the medicine
(B) They , felt pain after taking them

PASSAGE-3
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 things and
objectively decide the course of his action based on factual information.
The impressions 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. The type, of things that are taught, the ways
and methods of communication and the mental attitudes of those who teach are primary in education. What are some
of the things taught in our institutions? The first thing that the student learns is that the teacher is always right. Students
do not know.
Q139.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
(C)That at best they impart some kind of uncritical knowledge

PASSAGE-6
Real policemen, both in Britain and the United States, hardly recognize any resemblance between their lives and what
they 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 policemans real life revolves round the law. Most of his training is in criminal law. He has to
know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court. He has to know nearly as
much law as a professional lawyer, and what is more, he has to apply It on his feet, in the dark and rain, running down
an alley after someone he 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 hes arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals
is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks where failure to produce
results reflects on the standing of the police-little effort is spent on searching. The police have an elaborate machinery
which eventually shows up most wanted men.

(A) exciting and glamorous

(A) prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself away
(B) spend a lot of effort on trying to track their man down
