PASSAGE-1
Due to environment degradation, climatic
conditions around the earths forests including the Amazon rainforest have started show-

ing changes. Rainforest gets its name from the


massive Amazon River that runs through it.
The forest of Amazon, known as Amazonia, is
called the lungs of the earth as it produces
20% of the total oxygen in the world. It is the
largest ecosystem on the earth.
Since most of the Amazon rainforest is inaccessible, a lot of the available information we
have of the great forest is merely speculative.
Scientists believe that about half the animal
species and plant varieties in the world are
native to this forest. The irony lies in the fact
that the soil on which some of the oldest and
rarest plants are growing is of very poor quality and only the top 2 inches seem to have the
necessary nutrients. But herein is the beauty
of coexistence one sees in the Amazon. The
massive trees in the forest are dependent on
the dead tree and animal remains to pack the
soil with nutrients. This makes it one of the
tightest ecosystems. But if any of the forest
perishes, it might spell doom for the entire
ecosystem. A variety of factors affect the climate one of the main factors is the way the
forest is shaped. A large part of the forest is
shaped like a shallow dish. The shape is like
this because a large number of tributaries to
the main river (estimated to be 1100) drain
the forest into such depression. Another factor is the amount of water in the forest.
The river along with its 1100 tributaries
makes a massive lot of water. Other factors to
consider include its proximity to the equator
and the vast canopy of trees covering the entire forest.
The climate is like that of any other typical
tropical rainforest. It is hot and humid. The
temperature is 79 F for the entire year which
gets compounded due to the heavy humidity.
There are not many seasonal changes in the
climate and the temperature too remains the
same for pretty much of the year. In fact, the
difference between the day and night temperatures is greater than the difference between
any two seasons. The weather remains the
same all year long.
Amazon is supposed to represent half the
rainforests in the world today, so needless to
say its destruction will cause a great loss. And
not only will a loss of flora, but of the numerous fauna and indigenous people native to
Amazonia for so many years will also be gone.
Hence all the nations which benefit from the
Amazon forest should take the responsibility

PASSAGE-2
The universe of ours is full of mysteries and
in this mystery the rotation of earth along
with its revolution around the sun is no more
a mystery. But along with the rotation and
revolution of the earth, the same activity of
other planets and satellites is still a matter
of great research and adventure. Among the
natural satellites, the study of moon is always
a subject of great interest. The moon orbits
(travels in a circle around) the earth and the
moon called gravity. Because of gravity, larger
objects naturally pull smaller ones toward
themselves. Since the earth is larger than
the moon, the earth pulls the moon. At the
same time, the earth is being pulled by the
sun, because the sun is larger than the earth.
The balance between these two pulls is what
keeps the moon in orbit around the earth.
Although you hear people all the time saying
the moon was shining, the moon does not
actually have any light of its own. What we
seen as its light is really the suns light reflecting off of the moons surface. As the moon
orbits the earth and the earth orbits the sun,
we see different amounts of lights reflecting
on the moon depending on its position. We call
the changes in the moons appearance lunar
phases. From one new moon to the next new
moon is one complete lunar cycle.
It takes the moon between 27 and 28 days to
completely the orbit around the earth. The
moons orbit is measured from one new moon
to the next new moon, starting in the west
and moving counter-clockwise toward the
east. To complete one full orbit, the moon has
to travel about 1,423,000 miles. Believe it or
not, the moon travels at an average speed of
2,288 miles per hour! The force of gravity
helps keep us grounded as the moon rotates
around us, and we spin and rotate around the
sun.
10. Which two spheres are being pulled by
the force of gravity?
(a) The earth and the sun

PASSAGE-3
Why is it that in every other sector India is in
par with global standards but not in sports?
The answer is both simple and complex. It is
only after the power hungry individuals use
their might to grab the hot seat that they become aware of the enormity of the position
and demands come aware of the enormity of
the position and demands associated with it.
Though it presents them with an opportunity
to do same credible work and earn some much
needed goodwill points yet very soon the realization sets in that like any other product or
service administrating and marketing sports
is not a lets-catch-up-over-coffee session but
a task requiring full time commitment for
which they are clearly short on either time or
skills or both. They also realize that handling
players is a far more challenging man-management exercise than the truckload of supporters who are ferried into big cities from
small towns for innumerable rallies at the cost
of a days meal and some country liquor. The
ego and the greed of these honorary members
disallows them to own up to their incapaci-

ties and that is precisely the point where the


complications commence and then trickles
down as a byproduct to the field of play in various shapes and sizes.
To get rid of these pseudo mentality administrators is impossible for that is one of the intricacies of Indian market dynamics that can
be a good dissertation topic but what is possible on their part is to separate politics from
operations. By recruiting professionals under
them who see sport as a product and not as a
power flaunting stage and work behind the
scenes, the administrators can add a standing to their vision which more often than not
comes under the firing line every time a team
fails and also add some value to the nation.
It will enable Indian sports to get rid of the
maladies and see a new Sun rise but if the
maladies are got rid off will there be any scope
for the power game and its ancillary benefits?
The irony will never cease and the young
sports marketing professionals can only live
in hope that in the future when this current
batch of so called caretakers of Indian sports
get wiped off due to still-to-be-forecasted reasons then sports can finally prosper just like
the way the current generation has seen it
on the television from the clubs of Europe and
America.

highlight
(i) Enormity of the position of power hungry individuals and the demands associated with sports.

PASSAGE-4
I am normally said to be free to the degree to
which no human being interferes with my
activity. Political liberty in this sense is
simply the area within which a man can act
unobstructed by others. If I am prevented by
other persons from doing what I could
otherwise do, I am to that degree unfree; and
if this area is contracted by other men beyond
a certain minimum, can be described by other
men beyond, a certain minimum, can be
described as being coerced, or, it may be,
enslaved. Coercion is not, however, a term
that covers every form of inability. If I say that
I am unable to jump more than 10 feet in the
air, or cannot read because I am blind, or
cannot understand the darker pages of Hegel,
it would be eccentric to say that I am to that
degree enslaved or coerced. Coercion implies
the deliberate interference of other human

beings within the area in which I could


otherwise act. You lack political liberty or
freedom only if you are prevented from
obtaining a goal by human beings. Mere
incapacity to attain a goal is not lack of
political freedom. This is brought out by the
use of such modern expressions as economic
freedom and its counterpart, economic
slavery.

PASSAGE-5
The ultimate aim of criminal law is protection of right to personal liberty against invasion by others protection of the weak against
the strong law abiding against lawless, peaceful against the violent. To protect the rights
of the citizens, the state prescribes the rules
of conduct, sanctions for their violation, machinery to enforce sanctions, and procedure
to protect that machinery. It is utter selfishness, greed, and intolerance that lead to deprivation of life, liberty, and property of other
citizens requiring the State to step in for protection to persons against lawlessness, disorderly behavior, violent acts, and fraudulent
deeds of others. Liberty cannot exist without
protection of the basic rights of the citizens
by the Government.
The well-recognized fundamental principles
of criminal jurisprudence are presumption
of innocence and right to silence of the accused, presumption of innocence and right

to death and five defendants to long sentences
