Sherlock Holmes took his bottle from the corner of the mantelpiece and his hypodermic syringe from its neat morocco case. With his long, white, nervous fingers he adjusted the delicate needle, and rolled back his left shirt-cuff. For some little time his eyes rested thoughtfully upon the sinewy forearm and wrist all dotted and scarred with innumerable puncture-marks. Finally he thrust the sharp point home, pressed down the tiny piston, and sank back into the velvet-lined armchair with a long sigh of satisfaction.Three times a day for many months I had witnessed this performance, but custom had not reconciled my mind to it. On the contrary, from day to day I had become more irritable at the sight, and my conscience swelled nightly within me at the thought that I had lacked the courage to protest. Again and again I had registered a vow that I should deliver my soul upon the subject, but there was that in the cool, nonchalant air of my companion which made him the last man with whom one would care to take anything approaching to a liberty. His great powers, his masterly manner, and the experience which I had had of his many extraordinary qualities, all made me diffident and backward in crossing him.Yet upon that afternoon, whether it was the Beaune which I had taken with my lunch, or the additional exasperation produced by the extreme deliberation of his manner, I suddenly felt that I could hold out no longer. ―Which is it to-day?‖ I asked,—―morphine or cocaine?‖He raised his eyes languidly from the old black letter volume which he had opened. ―It is cocaine,‖ he said,—―a seven-per-cent solution. Would you are to try it?―No, indeed,‖ I answered, brusquely. ―My constitution has not got over the Afghan campaign yet. I cannot afford to throw any extra strain upon it.‖ He smiled at my vehemence. ―Perhaps you are right, Watson,‖ he said. ―I suppose that its influence is physically a bad one. I find it, however, so transcendently stimulating and clarifying to the mind that its secondary action is a matter of small moment.But consider!‖ I said, earnestly. ―Count the cost! Your brain may, as you say, be roused and excited, but it is a pathological and morbid process, which involves increased tissue-change and may at last leave a permanent weakness. Surely the game is hardly worth the candle. Why should you, for a mere passing pleasure, risk the loss of those great powers with which you have been endowed? Remember that I speak not only as one comrade to another, but as a medical man to one for whose constitution he is to some extent answerable.He did not seem offended. ―My mind,‖ he said, ―rebels at stagnation. Give me problems, give me work, give me the most abstruse cryptogram or the most intricate analysis, and I am in my own proper atmosphere. I can dispense then with artificial stimulants.Source: The Sign of the FourOn the basis of your reading of the above passage, choose the best option from among the choices given below each of the following questions:1.

Emma Raducanu had sprung from nowhere at Wimbledon, defeating a string of higher-ranked players in a startling run that captivated the nation. Promoted to No 1 Court – and the front pages – for a fourth-round match against AjlaTomljanović of Australia, the 18-year-old suffered dizziness and breathing difficulties, and retired. ―I think the whole experience caught up with me,‖ she said later.Dr. Claire-Marie Roberts was watching with a pang of recognition. Roberts, 43, was a promising teenage swimmer, who once qualified for the 100m breaststroke at the 1996 Olympics. But she had done so despite almost crippling competitive anxiety.I‘d be vomiting in the toilets before races with so many self-doubts and ridiculous scenarios playing out in my mind,‖ she says. ―I‘d worry about letting my dad and coach down, and think everyone was much better than me. Sometimes I‘d visualize myself with armbands on, struggling even to swim to the end of the pool.Happily, and unusually for the time, Roberts had a sports psychologist to turn to for help: ―In the early 90s nobody really even knew what a sports psychologist was.‖ It was only then that she was able to start managing her anxiety and qualify for Atlanta with Team Great Britain.When a pre-Games injury snuffed out her Olympic dream, Roberts‘ experience inspired a job swap. She is now a sports psychologist at the University of the West of England in Bristol, and learning and development manager at the Premier League.Dr. Andrea Furst, a sports psychologist who works with England Rugby and the Australian sailing team, says the discipline to focus on what needs to be improved is what separates elite athletes and mortals. ―Many of the things that are needed to be elite are not particularly complex, but it‘s the requirement for them to be done day after day that makes supreme performers,‖ she says. ―One of the best pieces of advice in everyday life would be to pick one thing to focus on to change and stick at it.The performances we love the most are the ones where we can see huge hearts, deep character and the mastery of skill at an inspiring level; where we can see ‗humanness‘ – not robotic perfection or emotionless ‗execution‘,‖ psychologist Pippa Grange says. ―There is something for all of us to take from that.When the recent England-Italy Euro final went to penalties, Dr. Geir Jordet, a sports psychologist, grabbed a notepad. His analysis, covering more than 45 years of shootouts, has revealed that when a team only needs one more successful penalty to win the match, the player who takes it will score 92% of the time. When a team loses the match by missing the next penalty (for example, Bukayo Saka‘s turn for England), the player taking that penalty scores only 62% of the time. ―In life, it‘s about considering the positive consequences of what you‘re doing rather than dwelling on the negative consequences if you mess up,‖ he says.On the basis of your reading of the above passage, answer the following questions by choosing the best option among the four choices given after each question:1. Emma Raducanu had sprung from nowhere‘ means a) A player like her could be found nowhere b) She was a famous player at that time c) She was an aggressive player d) She was neither famous nor expected to win2.

Along a stretch of river in northern Belgium, a small ferry is running on a fuel that, many hope could hold the key to decarbonizing ships everywhere.The fuel being tested on Hydroville, a 16-passenger shuttle, is hydrogen. Hydroville launched three years ago as the world‘s first hydrogen-powered passenger vessel.We decided for ourselves, look, we have to start with it today, even though there is no demand yet,‖ says Roy Campe, managing director at CMBTech, Hydroville‘s owner. ―We have to start today to make certain that within 10 years we can already start producing all our ships on a low-emission level. It's not a light switch that you just flip overCMB is already building several other hydrogen-powered boats, including a larger, 80-person ferry in Japan set for launch in early 2021.The small boat sector is a great ―proving ground‖ to scale up clean tech solutions for large merchant vessels. Ships currently emit 3% of all greenhouse gases, and emissions are projected to grow by up to 50% by 2050 if the industry continues on a business-as-usual path. Governments in 2018 pledged to cut shipping emissions in half by 2050, but industry has been slow so far to implement measures on the ground.It takes a lot of energy to haul a ship through the water – and there are an increasing number of ships to haul as world trade grows. To cut emissions, some of this energy could be reduced through ships using more efficient designs, installing technologies to harness wind, going a bit slower to conserve fuel, or simply transporting less things.But ultimately, if shipping is going to fully decarbonize – and it will have to if the world is to stay within safe temperature limits – it needs to find a replacement for fossil fuels.CMB‘s hydrogen programme is one of several shipping projects across the world testing how hydrogen and other fuels made from it, such as ammonia and methanol, could be used to power a low-carbon maritime industry of the future. These fuels, together often called ―synthetic‖ fuels, are seen as a particularly promising option because they can be made using clean electricity – such as solar or wind power – and burned without emitting any greenhouse gases.Now, on the basis of your reading of the above passage, choose the best answer to each of the following questions:1. The small ferry plying in Belgium is likely to have a strong impact on the _________ of ships in future. a) Design of ships b) the passenger capacity of ships c) speed of ships d) fuel of ships2. The distinction enjoyed by Hydroville is a) the first vessel to use hydrogen as fuel b) first atomic –powered passenger vessel c) first tourist vessel to ply on that route d) last vessel to use fossil fuel3. It is not a light switch that you just flip over,‖ means a) He is not turning on a switch b) it is a process taking a long time c) it takes a short time d) it is not possible to achieve it4. The ferry set to start plying in Japan in 2021 is ____________ times bigger than that in Belgium. a) 2 times b) 3 times c) 4 times d) 5 times.5. If no corrective measures are not taken, by 2050,the carbon emissions are likely to increase nearly____________ times than what is witnessed now. a) 16 – 17 times b) 10-12 times c) 20 -25 times d) 25-30 times6. Which of the following statements is true? a) Government wants to take action and shipping industry is implementing their measures b) neither government nor shipping industry is keen to take action c) government is not keen to take action but shipping industry is ready d) government wants to take action but the shipping industry is slow7. Which of the following is NOT a way suggested in the above passage to cut carbon emissions? a) harnessing wind power b) slow implementation of change c) transporting less cargo d) using wave energy8. Total decarbonisation of the shipping industry will help to a) reduce global warming b) increase sea trade c) make sea trade more profitable d) make seafaring safer9. Which of the following statements about the above passage is correct? It deals with the use of: a) non-conventional sources of energy in transport sector in general b) synthetic fuels made from fossil fuels in shipping sector in particular c) synthetic fuels produced by non-conventional sources of energy in shipping d) synthetic fuels produced by non-conventional sources of energy in transport10. Which of the following fuels are likely to be used in future:a) i, ii and iv b) i, iii and iv c) ii, iii and iv d) i, ii and iii

Answer»

1. d) fuel of ships

2. a) the first vessel to use hydrogen as fuel

Speaking of the best diets, we must first distinguish between the earlier food consumption habits of India and the way these have changed now. We should actually celebrate how our food consumption habits used to be – India‘s dietary patterns have shown that food was connected to the local eco system. It was ecologically diverse – every part of India celebrated its biodiversity through its food culture. The traditional Indian food habit was possibly the most bio diverse diet of the world. Of course, other diets were similar before they were turned into monoculture diets where everyone eats, rice, wheat and a hamburger. But Indian diets were truly remarkable in how they optimized biodiversity and local ecologies. Individual health, local foods and seasonal factors all came together in our diet. This was intuitive in terms of what works for you because of the environment in which you live. And it was intuitive about your local ecology and the plants and foods grown around you.The indigenous Indian diet understood that food, built into your day-to-day lives, is one of the most powerful forms of medicine we have. But these systems of belief and practice were disrupted by force of the market. From being a medicine which strengthened us, food has become a marketable commodity now. What you eat at home or learn from your local cuisine is changing because now you are designing your diet based on aspiration, based on what others eat, on what is supposed to be modern and what is easily available – this transmutation is happening because of the power of markets, food companies and food commodification.Once you were taught about hot foods, cold foods and foods you must eat seasonally. Now, of course, there is nothing called a season because you can get the same food across the whole year. But there was a scientific reason to eat something in a particular season – this was for the goodness food gave you at that time of year. You don‘t eat dry fruits in summer, for instance. These are traditionally eaten in winter because of the warmth they give you in colder months.This science of food, interwoven into the art of diet, is something we grew up with. But we are discounting such indigenous knowledge now because of the signals we get from the outside world, which teaches you that food must be packaged, it must look good (even though it may not be good for you) and it must be addictive.Food has also come to mean overindulgence – the meat industry now produces unbelievable amounts and does so using a number of chemicals and destroying vast forests. Further, people are now eating so much meat, it is seriously damaging their health. Both our bodies and our environment need us to return to indigenous diets and plant base choices, which are much healthier for us. These will empower us to feed more people from a less degraded earth.Source – Times of India, 09 Jan 2021Now, on the basis of your reading of the above passage, choose the best answer to each of the following questions:1. Food consumption habits in India over the years a) have changed for the better b) have changed for the worse c) have changed without any impact d) have changed very little2. The one important feature of food consumption habits in the past was that they a) were consistent with biodiversity b)were cheap but not nutritious c) included many processed food items d) had a high meat content3.

Original indigenous Indian diet had a) a delicious taste b) fried items c) a medicinal effect d)mostly boiled items5. One major factor that considerably changed the food consumption habits is a) scientific developmentb) force of market c) western influence d) change of public taste6. What we eat now is influenced by a) food habits of others b) what is believed to be modern c) what is easily available d) all these7. Effect of seasons on our food consumption habits is nullified as a) climatic pattern has been disturbed b) most items are available throughout the year c) good rains produce good crops d) drought conditions prevail in some parts8.
