and games with missing pieces that you could barely get in the door. His parents pleaded with him to

For nos. 7-10, Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
Six major concepts try to steer our way of life so as to unite the present with the past and
future and make us collaborate with one another.
Solidarity is in fact the key to start this new way of life. Past generations and generations to
come need to respect each other and the planet, and care for the community of life. One should never
benefit from something now, which will eventually have a problematic effect on future generations. A
practical example is that of genetic engineering. This technology opens up a new dimension for the world.
It makes alteration of DNA possible. The immediate effects are very positive as they, for example, can
make a plant breed more seeds and furthermore no pests will feed on them. Yet the downside to all this
will only be seen in the future. Once the structure of DNA is altered it would be impossible to change.
Another negative impact that future beings will face is the fracture of the feeding cycle. Therefore, it
is essential for all to protect one another, as all generations are interrelated, which means that
whatever happens today speaks about the relationship of the present with past and future generations.
