Fashionable luxury resorts are mushrooming everywhere but the lung spaces like parks and playgrounds are shrinking. It is similar story with many other services in the public domain including transportation, health care, education etc. Even the essential services are pushed into the private real so that some company or other can make profit on them. It is indeed a tragicomedy because the poor are also pushed into becoming consumers of increasingly expressive goods and utilities. It is similar story with many other services in the public domain including transportation, health care, education etc. Even the essential services are pushed into the private real so that some company or other can make profit on them. It is indeed a tragicomedy because the poor are also pushed into becoming consumers of increasingly expressive goods and utilities. Specially trained nurses and doctors use electronic monitoring devices to detect deviations in the patient’s vital functions. The medical staff is also alert to signs of lung complications that frequently follow major surgery. Venous stenosis, or the slow – up of blood flow in the veins – a consequence of bed confinement – is prevented by exercising the patient’s limbs and varying his position in bed. Closed circuit television cameras allow constant observation of the patient and monitoring devices linked with computers sound a warning when dangerous complications occur, but the keen senses of a skilled nurse are still required to ensure the best after care of the sick.

33.	Write briefly the proceeding of meeting elders in wokers paradise
Answer» The man had never believed in mere utility.Having had no useful work, he indulged in mad whims. He made little pieces of sculptures, men, women and castles and he painted. Thus he wasted his time on all that was useless and needless. People laughed at him. He spent his earth life in useless work and yet after death, the gates of heaven opened wide for him and he was sent to the Workers Paradise.But this newcomer did not fit well with the scheme of things in Workers Paradise. He lounged in the streets absently and jostled the hurrying men. He lay in the green meadows or close to the fast flowing stream. A girl went hustling-bustling everyday to a silent torrent (silent since in the Workers Paradise even a torrent wouldn't waste its energy singing), to fill her pitchers."A - Ha" she cried with concern. "You have no work in hand, Have you? "The man sighed "Work I've not a moment to spare for work."The girl did not understand his words and said "I shall spare some work for you to do,if you like." She further said "What kind of work would you like?""Would you give me one of your pitchers, one that you can spare?""A pitcher? You want to draw water from the torrent?""No. I shall draw pictures on your pitcher."The girl was annoyed. "A picture indeed! I have no time to waste on such as you. I'm going." And she walked away.But everyday they met and everyday he said the same thing to her. She yielded at last. She gave him one of her pitchers. The man started painting. When he had completed his work, the girl held up the pitcher and stared at its sides, her eyes puzzled.Brows drawn, she asked "What do they mean, all those lines and colors?"The man laughed "Nothing. A picture may have no meaning and serve no purpose."At home, away from prying eyes, she held it in the light, turned it round and round and scanned the painting from all angles. At night she lighted a candle and scanned it again in silence. For the first time in her life she had seen something that had no meaning and no purpose at all. She saw the painter standing by the torrent and asked him in confusion,"What do you want of me?""Only some more work from your hands.""What kind of work would you like?""Let me make a colored ribbon for your hair.""And what for?""Nothing."Ribbons were made, bright with colors. The busy girl of Workers Paradise had now to spend a lot of time everyday tying the colored ribbon around her hair. Much work was left unfinished. In Workers Paradise, work of late had began to suffer. Many people who had been active earlier were idle now, wasting their precious time on useless things like paintings and sculptures. The elders became anxious. A meeting was called. The aerial messenger also hurried in, bowed before the elders and made a confession."I brought a wrong man in this paradise. It is all due to him."The man was summoned. Stifled the president said" This is no place for the kind of you. You must leave."The man sighed in relief and gathered up his brush and paints. But as he was about to go, the girl of the silent torrent came up tripping and cried"Wait a moment! I shall come with you." All agreed that work had suffered- people were wasting their precious time in useless things. Aerial messanger confessed that it was all because of the wrong man whom he had brought into the paradise. The man was summoned- seeing his dress,brushes and paints, they realised this was not the right place for him. The president asked him to leave- he afreed readily- the girl of the silent torrent too decided to go with him- All surprised.

36.	Write a note on traffic in Brazil.
Answer» George Mikes makes humorous comments on the ‘traffic’ in Copacabana and Avenida Presidente Vargas in particular and Brazil in general. He opines that Brazilians are easy-going and leisurely characters. But the very same people, the moment they get a steering wheel in their hands, no speed is fast for them. They drive with such speed that one would be inclined to believe that gaining a tenth of a second is a matter of grave importance for all of them, all the time. The writer talks about the increasing number of vehicles in Brazil and says that the increase in the number of vehicles is making the pedestrian’s life more hazardous every day. He then narrates an interesting anecdote to give a clear idea of the number of vehicles moving on the road at any given time in Avenida Presidente Vargas. He asks the reader to imagine that he is standing on one side of the road trying to cross the road. He will spend hours on end contemplating a fascinating problem: How can crawling traffic proceed at such a terrifying speed? He strengthens the same idea by another example. He asks the reader to imagine that a man on his side of the road suddenly catches sight of a friend of his on the other side of the road and starts waving to him. Then he shouts at him asking “How on earth did you get over there?” The other person will yell back at him, “How? I was born on this side!” The author leaves it to the readers to draw their own inferences.
