judgement on the value of Black fiction by clearly polit ical standards, rating each work
according to the ideas of Black identity, which it propounds. Though fiction results from
political circumstances, its author react not in ideological ways to those circumstances, and
talking about novels and stories primarily as instruments of ideology circumvents much of
the fictional enterprise. Affinities andconnections are revealed in the works of Black fiction in
Rosenblatt's literary analysis; these affinities and connections have been overlooked and
ignored by solely political studies. The writing of acceptable criticism of Black fiction,
however, presumes giving satisfactory answers to a quite a few questions. The most
important of all, is there a sufficient reason, apart from the racial identity of the authors, for
the grouping together of Black authors? Secondly, what is the distinction of Black fiction
from other modern fiction with which it is largely contemporaneous? In the work Rosenblatt
demonstrates that Black fiction is a distinct body of writing, which has an identifiable,
coherent literary tradition. He highlights recurring concerns and designs, which are
independent of chronology in Black fiction written over the past eighty years. These
concerns and designs are thematic, and they come form the central fact of the predominant
white culture, where the Black characters in the novel are situated irrespective of whether
they attempt to conform to that culture or they rebel against it. Rosenblatt's work does

DIRECTIONS: Read the passage and answer the questions asked below. Japanese firms have
achieved the highest levels of manufacturing efficiency in the world automobile industry.
Some observers of Japan have assumed that Japanese firms use the same manufacturing
equipment and techniques as United States firms but have benefited from the unique
characteristics of Japanese employees and the Japanese culture. However, if this were true,
then one would expect Japanese auto plants in the United States to perform no better than
factories run by United States companies. This is not the case, Japanese-run automobile
plants located in the United States and staffed by local workers have demonstrated higher
levels of productivity when compared with factories owned by United States companies.
Other observers link high Japanese productivity to higher levels of capital investment per
worker. But a historical perspective leads to a different conclusion. When the two top
Japanese automobile makers matched and then doubled United States productivity levels in
the mid-sixties, capital investment per employee was comparable to that of United States
firms. Furthermore, by the late seventies, the amount of fixed assets required to produce
one vehicle was roughly equivalent in Japan and in the United States. Since capital
investment was not higher in Japan, it had to be other factors that led to higher productivity.
A more fruitful explanation may lie with Japanese production techniques. Japanese
automobile producers did not simply implement conventional processes more effectively:
they made critical changes in United States procedures. For instance, the mass- production
philosophy of United States automakers encouraged the production of huge lots of cars in
order to utilize fully expensive, component-specific equipment and to occupy fully workers
who have been trained to execute one operation efficiently. Japanese automakers chose to
make small-lot production feasible by introducing several departures from United States
practices, including the use of flexible equipment that could be altered easily to do several
different production tasks and the training of workers in multiple jobs. Automakers could

history of the early Japanese immigrants to central California's Pajaro Valley focuses on the
development of farming communities there from 1890 to 1940. The Issei (first-generation
immigrants)were brought into the Pajaro Valley to raise sugar beets. Like Issei laborers in
American cities, Japanese men in rural areas sought employment via the "boss" system. The
system comprised three elements: immigrant wage laborers; Issei boardinghouses where
laborers stayed; and labor contractors, who gathered workers for a particular job and then
negotiated a contract between workers and employer. This same system was originally
utilized by the Chinese laborers who had preceded the Japanese. A related institution was
the "labor club," which provided job information and negotiated employment contracts and
other legal matters, such as the rental of land, for Issei who chose to belong and paid an
annual fee to the cooperative for membership. When the local sugar beet industry collapsed
in 1902,the Issei began to lease land from the valley's strawberry farmers. The Japanese
provided the labor and the crop was divided between laborers and landowners. The Issei
began to operate farms, they began to marry and start families, forming an established
independence were hampered by government restrictions, such as the Alien Land Law of
1913. But immigrants could circumvent such exclusionary laws by leasing or purchasing land
in their American-born children's names. Nakane's case study of one rural Japanese

Isseil. It is, however, too particularistic. This limitation derives from Nakane's methodology

DIRECTIONS: Read the passage and answer the questions asked below. Protein synthesis
begins when the gene encoding a protein is activated. The gene?s sequence of nucleotides is
transcribed into a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA), which reproduces the information
contained in that sequence. Transported outside the nucleus to the cytoplasm, the mRNA is
translated into the protein it encodes by an organelle known as a ribosome, which strings
together amino acids in the order specified by the sequence of elements in the mRNA
molecule. Since the amount of mRNA in a cell determines the amount of the corresponding
protein, factors affecting the abundance of mRNA?s play a major part in the normal
certain proteins can cause cells to proliferate abnormally and become cancerous; a lack of
the protein insulin results in diabetes. Biologists once assumed that the variable rates at
which cells synthesize different mRNA?s determine the quantities of mRNA?s and their
corresponding proteins in a cell. However, recent investigations have shown that the
concentrations of most mRNA?s correlate best, not with their synthesis rate, but rather with
the equally variable rates at which cells degrade the different mRNA?s in their cytoplasm. If
a cell degrades both a rapidly and a slowly synthesized mRNA slowly, both mRNA?s will
red blood cells from their unspecialized parent cells in bone marrow. For red blood cells to
their main function, the cells? parent cells must simultaneously produce more of the
constituent proteins of hemoglobin and less of most other proteins. To do this, the parent
cells halt synthesis of nonhemoglobin mRNA?s in the nucleus and rapidly degrade copies of
the non-hemoglobin mRNA?s remaining in the cytoplasm. Halting synthesis of mRNA alone
would not affect the quantities of proteins synthesized by the mRNA?s still existing in the
cytoplasm. Biologists now believe that most cells can regulate protein production most
efficiently by varying both mRNA synthesis and degradation, as developing red cells do,

sentence of the second paragraph would most probably also have believed which of the

immigrants)were brought into the Pajaro Valley to raise sugar beets. Like Issei laborers in
American cities, Japanese men in rural areas sought employment via the "boss" system. The
system comprised three elements: immigrant wage laborers; Issei boardinghouses where
laborers stayed; and labor contractors, who gathered workers for a particular job and then
negotiated a contract between workers and employer. This same system was originally
utilized by the Chinese laborers who had preceded the Japanese. A related institution was
the "labor club," which provided job information and negotiated employment contracts and
other legal matters, such as the rental of land, for Issei who chose to belong and paid an
annual fee to the cooperative for membership. When the local sugar beet industry collapsed
in 1902,the Issei began to lease land from the valley's strawberry farmers. The Japanese
provided the labor and the crop was divided between laborers and landowners. The Issei
began to operate farms, they began to marry and start families, forming an established
independence were hampered by government restrictions, such as the Alien Land Law of
1913. But immigrants could circumvent such exclusionary laws by leasing or purchasing land
in their American-born children's names. Nakane's case study of one rural Japanese
American community provides valuable information about the lives and experiences of the
Isseil. It is, however, too particularistic. This limitation derives from Nakane's methodology
that of oral history which cannot substitute for a broader theoretical or comparative
perspective. Future research might well consider two issues raised by her study: were the
Issei of the Pajaro Valley similar to or different from Issei in urban settings, and what

achieved the highest levels of manufacturing efficiency in the world automobile industry.
Some observers of Japan have assumed that Japanese firms use the same manufacturing
equipment and techniques as United States firms but have benefited from the unique
characteristics of Japanese employees and the Japanese culture. However, if this were true,
then one would expect Japanese auto plants in the United States to perform no better than
factories run by United States companies. This is not the case, Japanese-run automobile
plants located in the United States and staffed by local workers have demonstrated higher
levels of productivity when compared with factories owned by United States companies.
Other observers link high Japanese productivity to higher levels of capital investment per
worker. But a historical perspective leads to a different conclusion. When the two top
Japanese automobile makers matched and then doubled United States productivity levels in
the mid-sixties, capital investment per employee was comparable to that of United States
firms. Furthermore, by the late seventies, the amount of fixed assets required to produce
one vehicle was roughly equivalent in Japan and in the United States. Since capital
investment was not higher in Japan, it had to be other factors that led to higher productivity.
A more fruitful explanation may lie with Japanese production techniques. Japanese
automobile producers did not simply implement conventional processes more effectively:
they made critical changes in United States procedures. For instance, the mass- production
philosophy of United States automakers encouraged the production of huge lots of cars in
order to utilize fully expensive, component-specific equipment and to occupy fully workers
who have been trained to execute one operation efficiently. Japanese automakers chose to
make small-lot production feasible by introducing several departures from United States
practices, including the use of flexible equipment that could be altered easily to do several
different production tasks and the training of workers in multiple jobs. Automakers could

The pioneers of the teaching of science imagined that its introduction into education would
characteristic;of classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in their time
had the humanists thought that the study of the classical authors in the original would
banish at once the dull pedantry and superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The
professional schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost managed to make
the understanding of chemical reactions as dull and as dogmatic an affair as the reading of
Virgil's Aeneid. The chief claim for the use of science in education is that it teaches a child
something about the actual universe in which he is living, in making him acquainted with the
results of scientific discovery, and at the same time teaches him how to think logically and
inductively by studying scientific method. A certain limited success has been reached in the
first of these aims, but practically none at all in the second. Those privileged members of the
community who have been through a secondary or public school education may be expected
to know something about the elementary physics and chemistry of a hundred years ago, but
they probably know hardly more than any bright boy can pick up from an interest in wireless
or scientific hobbies out of school hours. As to the learning of scientific method, the whole
thing is palpably a farce. Actually, for the convenience of teachers and the requirements of
the examination system, it is necessary that the pupils not only do not learn scientific
method but learn precisely the reverse, that is, to believe exactly what they are told and to
reproduce it when asked, whether it seems nonsense to them or not. The way in which
educated people respond to such quackeries as spiritualism or astrology, not to say more
dangerous ones such as racial theories or currency myths, shows that fifty years of
education in the method of science in Britain or Germany has produced no visible effect
whatever. The only way of learning the method of science is the long and bitter way of
personal experience, and, until the educational or social systems are altered to make this
possible, the best we can expect is the production of a minority of people who are able to
acquire some of the techniques of science and a still smaller minority who are able to use

The pioneers of the teaching of science imagined that its introduction into education would
remove the conventionality, artificiality, and backward-lookingness which were
characteristic;of classical studies, but they were gravely disappointed. So, too, in their time
had the humanists thought that the study of the classical authors in the original would
banish at once the dull pedantry and superstition of mediaeval scholasticism. The
professional schoolmaster was a match for both of them, and has almost managed to make
the understanding of chemical reactions as dull and as dogmatic an affair as the reading of
Virgil's Aeneid. The chief claim for the use of science in education is that it teaches a child
something about the actual universe in which he is living, in making him acquainted with the
results of scientific discovery, and at the same time teaches him how to think logically and
inductively by studying scientific method. A certain limited success has been reached in the
first of these aims, but practically none at all in the second. Those privileged members of the
community who have been through a secondary or public school education may be expected
to know something about the elementary physics and chemistry of a hundred years ago, but
they probably know hardly more than any bright boy can pick up from an interest in wireless
or scientific hobbies out of school hours. As to the learning of scientific method, the whole
thing is palpably a farce. Actually, for the convenience of teachers and the requirements of
the examination system, it is necessary that the pupils not only do not learn scientific
method but learn precisely the reverse, that is, to believe exactly what they are told and to
reproduce it when asked, whether it seems nonsense to them or not. The way in which
educated people respond to such quackeries as spiritualism or astrology, not to say more
dangerous ones such as racial theories or currency myths, shows that fifty years of
education in the method of science in Britain or Germany has produced no visible effect
whatever. The only way of learning the method of science is the long and bitter way of
personal experience, and, until the educational or social systems are altered to make this
possible, the best we can expect is the production of a minority of people who are able to
acquire some of the techniques of science and a still smaller minority who are able to use

critics go on to affirm that the realism is then intensified into a burlesque mock-treatment of
the Nativity. Finally as a sort of epilogue or after-thought in deference to the Biblical origins

rebellious and sinful creature in need of redemption. So deeply (one can hardly say "naively"

BRITISH MANAGEMENT
According to an article in Management Today, the British manager still stops work for tea.
The French managing director of Novotel, the hotel group, tells what happened at his first
"The meeting was in the afternoon, and it got to about 3.30 and everyone started looking at
their watches. I didn't know what was going on. I turned to my secretary, who was English,
and she said that they probably wanted to break for tea. I couldn't understand it. In France
we just carry on until we have finished. Now we always break for tea."
I am not sure how many English managers now break for tea. Not that many, I imagine.
Twenty years ago it was commonplace. I will never forget a Canadian sales director, pink
with fury, telling me at that time how he had been offered tea and biscuits at three in the
afternoon in Northampton: "I come three thousand miles, and take three taxis and a damn
steam engine into the sticks, and I wanna do business, and this guy gives me a `nice cup of
China tea and a biccy'. What IS he?" Mind you, this was the same man who in Rome told his
Italian agent that the Colosseum would make a nice parking lot.
It is not so much the cup of tea as the pint of bitter that managers from outside Britain find
a bar to efficiency. In the article, a German manager tells how when he first took over a job
in Britain, he discovered that at lunchtime and especially on Fridays, the majority of his
management team left for the pub. He says: "I stopped that right away. Now they are not
allowed off the premises. It didn't make me very popular at the time but it is not good for
According to European managers the British are still too concerned with class and status. A
German says: "People say that the class system is a hindrance to progress and then two
weeks later you overhear them discussing a colleague and saying, `Well, he is not very well-
spoken, is he?'" And another says: "The class gaps translate into big gulfs in the pay league,
too. In Germany, I might earn three times more than my secretary. Here it is five times."
Some criticisms are rather like those levelled at Japanese management. For example, talking
about status, a Dutch manager says: "A director is God here. They respect him and think
that he is right even when he is wrong. It's quite difficult to have an open conversation.
Too great an interest in money is also criticised. A Dutch manager says: "My first impression
on coming to Britain was that profit seemed to be the most important thing." And a
Frenchman points out the difference between the UK and France: "In France there is no
The French manager also points out a difference in educational standards: "In France all the
secretaries, or personal assistants as we call them, would have degrees. You wouldn't
consider recruiting one without a degree. So, that means you can delegate much more to

BRITISH MANAGEMENT.
According to an article in Management Today, the British manager still stops work for tea.
The French managing director of Novotel, the hotel group, tells what happened at his first
"The meeting was in the afternoon, and it got to about 3.30 and everyone started looking at
their watches. I didn't know what was going on. I turned to my secretary, who was English,
and she said that they probably wanted to break for tea. I couldn't understand it. In France
we just carry on until we have finished. Now we always break for tea." .
I am not sure how many English managers now break for tea. Not that many, I imagine.
Twenty years ago it was commonplace. I will never forget a Canadian sales director, pink
with fury, telling me at that time how he had been offered tea and biscuits at three in the
afternoon in Northampton: "I come three thousand miles, and take three taxis and a damn
steam engine into the sticks, and I wanna do business, and this guy gives me a `nice cup of
China tea and a biccy'. What IS he?" Mind you, this was the same man who in Rome told his
Italian agent that the Colosseum would make a nice parking lot.
It is not so much the cup of tea as the pint of bitter that managers from outside Britain find
a bar to efficiency. In the article, a German manager tells how when he first took over a job
in Britain, he discovered that at lunchtime and especially on Fridays, the majority of his
management team left for the pub. He says: "I stopped that right away. Now they are not
allowed off the premises. It didn't make me very popular at the time but it is not good for
According to European managers the British are still too concerned with class and status. A
German says: "People say that the class system is a hindrance to progress and then two
weeks later you overhear them discussing a colleague and saying, `Well, he is not very well-
spoken, is he?'" And another says: "The class gaps translate into big gulfs in the pay league,
too. In Germany, I might earn three times more than my secretary. Here it is five times." .
Some criticisms are rather like those levelled at Japanese management. For example, talking
about status, a Dutch manager says: "A director is God here. They respect him and think
that he is right even when he is wrong. It's quite difficult to have an open conversation.
Too great an interest in money is also criticised. A Dutch manager says: "My first impression
on coming to Britain was that profit seemed to be the most important thing." And a
Frenchman points out the difference between the UK and France: "In France there is no

BRITISH MANAGEMENT
According to an article in Management Today, the British manager still stops work for tea.
The French managing director of Novotel, the hotel group, tells what happened at his first
"The meeting was in the afternoon, and it got to about 3.30 and everyone started looking at
their watches. I didn't know what was going on. I turned to my secretary, who was English,
and she said that they probably wanted to break for tea. I couldn't understand it. In France
we just carry on until we have finished. Now we always break for tea."
I am not sure how many English managers now break for tea. Not that many, I imagine.
Twenty years ago it was commonplace. I will never forget a Canadian sales director, pink
with fury, telling me at that time how he had been offered tea and biscuits at three in the
afternoon in Northampton: "I come three thousand miles, and take three taxis and a damn
steam engine into the sticks, and I wanna do business, and this guy gives me a `nice cup of
China tea and a biccy'. What IS he?" Mind you, this was the same man who in Rome told his
Italian agent that the Colosseum would make a nice parking lot.
It is not so much the cup of tea as the pint of bitter that managers from outside Britain find
a bar to efficiency. In the article, a German manager tells how when he first took over a job
in Britain, he discovered that at lunchtime and especially on Fridays, the majority of his
management team left for the pub. He says: "I stopped that right away. Now they are not

FAT
One day, 43 years old, Walter Hudson walked out of the front door of his home on Long
Island for the first time in 17 years. He sat down on a specially made concrete chair and
told the reporters and TV cameras assembled there, "This is the best day of my life." A bit
unsteady on his feet, having spent the past 28 years in bed, he looked half the man he used
to be: that is, he had cut himself back from 600 kilo to just 300.
Although few Americans aspire to Walter's size, 34 million of them are heavier than they
ought to be. So, a few years ago, when Walter fell out of bed and was stuck on the floor
until the fire brigade came to help him up, there was some general sympathy with his
predicament. Walter explained: "As long as I lay in bed, my size never bothered me. It
never even dawned upon me that I couldn't do what I wanted to until the day I fell and
couldn't get up. That was the complete turn-around that made me want to change my life."
The publicity which resulted changed his life. More than one thousand people contacted him.
He set up a hotline to his home, and now spends a lot of time talking to fellow-sufferers. A
true American, he has marketed his own brand of powdered food formula called "Bio-
Nutrition".
In the case of the severely obese, drastic answers may be necessary. In America, obesity is
seen as an illness, a disease, and treated accordingly. In extreme cases, surgery could be
recommended. Surgery was first used in America during the 50s with an operation to short-
circuit the small bowel in order to prevent the absorption of fats. Weight was lost but some
of the side-effects of the operation turned out to be fatal. In 1981, in Iowa, the first
gastroplasty operation was performed. The stomach was stitched across, horizontally, so
that only half of it could be used. The latest development, an alternative to surgery, is to
have a balloon put in the stomach. There are 20,000 people in America walking around with
balloons in their stomachs. The balloon is made of specially prepared rubber, is inflated in
the stomach and left there for three months. The big danger is deflation and blockage of the
bowels. Otherwise, it's like having permanently just eaten a ham sandwich.
All her life, Barbara Quelch had weighed 140 kilo. She was successful, the director of an
advertising agency and the mother of four children. She had made several attempts to lose
weight, even going to the lengths of having her jaws wired. She explained: "It was very
antisocial and over nine months I cut my weight down by half. However, when my jaws were
unwired, I soon returned to my usual weight. I didn't suffer as much as other fat people. I
had a full and happy life. But I got out of breath very quickly, and was tired and irritable a
lot of the time. Then I had the gastroplasty operation. I lost weight within days. I could only
take fluids for the first two months after the operation, and in the following five months I
lost three kilo a week. I still can't eat certain foods, such as meat and potatoes. Most of my
meals wouldn't fill a saucer. I am often sick after meals, but I don't regret a thing. I have
always wanted to wear modern clothes and now I can go to a shop and choose what I want
instead of having to take something because it fits. I am more assertive now. I used to be
quieter and didn't want to do anything in case it drew attention to my figure. Now I say
what I like. I don't care what people think any more. It's not a miracle. The stomach can

One day, 43 years old, Walter Hudson walked out of the front door of his home on Long
Island for the first time in 17 years. He sat down on a specially made concrete chair and
told the reporters and TV cameras assembled there, "This is the best day of my life." A bit
unsteady on his feet, having spent the past 28 years in bed, he looked half the man he used
to be: that is, he had cut himself back from 600 kilo to just 300.
Although few Americans aspire to Walter's size, 34 million of them are heavier than they
ought to be. So, a few years ago, when Walter fell out of bed and was stuck on the floor
until the fire brigade came to help him up, there was some general sympathy with his
predicament. Walter explained: "As long as I lay in bed, my size never bothered me. It
never even dawned upon me that I couldn't do what I wanted to until the day I fell and
couldn't get up. That was the complete turn-around that made me want to change my life."
The publicity which resulted changed his life. More than one thousand people contacted him.
He set up a hotline to his home, and now spends a lot of time talking to fellow-sufferers. A
true American, he has marketed his own brand of powdered food formula called "Bio-
Nutrition".
In the case of the severely obese, drastic answers may be necessary. In America, obesity is
seen as an illness, a disease, and treated accordingly. In extreme cases, surgery could be
recommended. Surgery was first used in America during the 50s with an operation to short-
circuit the small bowel in order to prevent the absorption of fats. Weight was lost but some
of the side-effects of the operation turned out to be fatal. In 1981, in Iowa, the first
gastroplasty operation was performed. The stomach was stitched across, horizontally, so
that only half of it could be used. The latest development, an alternative to surgery, is to
have a balloon put in the stomach. There are 20,000 people in America walking around with
balloons in their stomachs. The balloon is made of specially prepared rubber, is inflated in
the stomach and left there for three months. The big danger is deflation and blockage of the
bowels. Otherwise, it's like having permanently just eaten a ham sandwich.
All her life, Barbara Quelch had weighed 140 kilo. She was successful, the director of an
advertising agency and the mother of four children. She had made several attempts to lose
weight, even going to the lengths of having her jaws wired. She explained: "It was very
antisocial and over nine months I cut my weight down by half. However, when my jaws were
unwired, I soon returned to my usual weight. I didn't suffer as much as other fat people. I
had a full and happy life. But I got out of breath very quickly, and was tired and irritable a
lot of the time. Then I had the gastroplasty operation. I lost weight within days. I could only
take fluids for the first two months after the operation, and in the following five months I
lost three kilo a week. I still can't eat certain foods, such as meat and potatoes. Most of my
meals wouldn't fill a saucer. I am often sick after meals, but I don't regret a thing. I have
always wanted to wear modern clothes and now I can go to a shop and choose what I want
instead of having to take something because it fits. I am more assertive now. I used to be
quieter and didn't want to do anything in case it drew attention to my figure. Now I say
what I like. I don't care what people think any more. It's not a miracle. The stomach can

There are two theories that have often been used to explain ancient and modern tragedy.
Neither quite explains the complexity of the tragic process or the tragic hero, but each
explains important elements of tragedy, and, because their conclusions are contradictory,
But this theory of tragedy is an oversimplification, primarily because it confuses the tragic
condition with the tragic process: the theory does not acknowledge that fate, in a tragedy,
normally becomes external to the hero only after the tragic process has as a heroism that
creates the splendor and exhilaration that is unique to tragedy.The tragic hero quality of an
honest person, but the external antagonist of the criminal. Secondarily, this theory of
tragedy does not distinguish tragedy from irony. Irony does not need an exceptional central
figure: the original destiny never quite fades out of the tragedy.
As a rule, the more ignoble the hero the sharper the irony, when irony alone is the objective.
It is heroism that creates the splendor and exhilaration that is unique to tragedy. The tragic
hero normally has an extraordinary, often a nearly divine, destiny almost within grasp, and
the glory of the original destiny never quite fades out of the tragedy.
The second theory of tragedy states that the act that sets the tragic process in motion must
be primarily a violation of normal law, whether human or divine; in short, that the tragic
hero must have a flaw that has an essential connection with sin. Again it is true that the
great majority of tragic heroes do possess hubris, or a proud and passionate mind that
seems to make the hero?s downfall morally explicable. But such hubris is only the
precipitating agent of catastrophe, just as in comedy the cause )f the happy ending is
usually some act of humility often performed by a noble character who is meanly disguised.
This theory of tragedy as morally explicable runs into the question of whether an innocent
sufferer in a tragedy, such as Iphigenia, or Socrates in Plato Apology, is a tragic figure. They
are, of course, even though it is not very easy to find crucial moral flaws in them. Cordelia
shows sincerity and high spirit in refusing to flatter her faber, and Cordelia is 30 hanged.
Tragedy, in short, is ambiguous and cannot be reduced to the opposition between human
effort. and external fate, just as it cannot be reduced to the opposition between good and
evil.
Which of the following comparisons of the tragic with the ironic hero is best supported by
a) A tragic hero's fate is an external condition, but an ironic hero?s fate is an internal one.
b) A tragic hero must be controlled by fate, but an ironic hero cannot be.
c) A tragic hero's moral flaw surprises the, audience, but an ironic hero?s sin does not.

Democratic institutions are devices for reconciling social order with individual freedom and
initiative, and for making the immediate power of a country's rulers subject to the ultimate
power of the ruled. The fact that, in Western Europe and America, these devices have
worked, all things considered, ot too badly is proof enough that the eighteenth century
optimists were not entirely wrong. Given a fair chance, I repeat; for the fair chance is an
indispensable prerequisite. No people that pass abruptly from a state of subservience under
the rule of a despot to the completely unfamiliar state of political independence can be said
to have a fair chance of being able to govern itself democratically. Liberalism flourishes in an
atmosphere of prosperity and declines as declining prosperity makes it necessary for the
government to intervene ever more frequently and drastically in the affairs of its subjects.

Democratic institutions are devices for reconciling social order with individual freedom and
initiative, and for making the immediate power of a country's rulers subject to the ultimate
power of the ruled. The fact that, in Western Europe and America, these devices have
worked, all things considered, ot too badly is proof enough that the eighteenth century
optimists were not entirely wrong. Given a fair chance, I repeat; for the fair chance is an
indispensable prerequisite. No people that pass abruptly from a state of subservience under
the rule of a despot to the completely unfamiliar state of political independence can be said
to have a fair chance of being able to govern itself democratically. Liberalism flourishes in an
atmosphere of prosperity and declines as declining prosperity makes it necessary for the
government to intervene ever more frequently and drastically in the affairs of its subjects.

There are two theories that have often been used to explain ancient and modern tragedy.
Neither quite explains the complexity of the tragic process or the tragic hero, but each
explains important elements of tragedy, and, because their conclusions are contradictory,
they represent extreme views.
But this theory of tragedy is an oversimplification, primarily because it confuses the tragic
condition with the tragic process: the theory does not acknowledge that fate, in a tragedy,
normally becomes external to the hero only after the tragic process has as a heroism that
creates the splendor and exhilaration that is unique to tragedy.The tragic hero quality of an
honest person, but the external antagonist of the criminal. Secondarily, this theory of
tragedy does not distinguish tragedy from irony. Irony does not need an exceptional central
figure: the original destiny never quite fades out of the tragedy.
As a rule, the more ignoble the hero the sharper the irony, when irony alone is the objective.
It is heroism that creates the splendor and exhilaration that is unique to tragedy. The tragic
hero normally has an extraordinary, often a nearly divine, destiny almost within grasp, and
the glory of the original destiny never quite fades out of the tragedy.
The second theory of tragedy states that the act that sets the tragic process in motion must
be primarily a violation of normal law, whether human or divine; in short, that the tragic
hero must have a flaw that has an essential connection with sin. Again it is true that the
great majority of tragic heroes do possess hubris, or a proud and passionate mind that
seems to make the hero?s downfall morally explicable. But such hubris is only the
precipitating agent of catastrophe, just as in comedy the cause )f the happy ending is
usually some act of humility often performed by a noble character who is meanly disguised.
This theory of tragedy as morally explicable runs into the question of whether an innocent
sufferer in a tragedy, such as Iphigenia, or Socrates in Plato Apology, is a tragic figure. They
are, of course, even though it is not very easy to find crucial moral flaws in them. Cordelia
shows sincerity and high spirit in refusing to flatter her faber, and Cordelia is 30 hanged.
Tragedy, in short, is ambiguous and cannot be reduced to the opposition between human
effort. and external fate, just as it cannot be reduced to the opposition between good and
evil.

Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds. When this short
amount of time elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the
information get there in the first place? Information that makes its way to the short term
memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area. The brain has a filter which only allows
stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working
memory.
There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory. The most
accepted theory comes from George A. Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that
meaningful unit of information, such as a word or name rather than just a letter or number.
Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by
optimize the STM, and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term
storage.
When making a conscious effort to memorize something, such as information for an exam,
many people engage in "rote rehearsal". By repeating something over and over again, one is
able to keep a memory alive. Unfortunately, this type of memory maintenance only succeeds
if there are no interruptions. As soon as a person stops rehearsing the information, it has the
tendency to disappear. When a pen and paper are not handy, people often attempt to
remember a phone number by repeating it aloud. If the doorbell rings or the dog barks to
come in before a person has the opportunity to make a phone call, he will likely forget the
number instantly.* Therefore, rote rehearsal is not an efficient way to pass information from
the short term to long term memory.* A better way is to practice "elaborate rehearsal".
*This involves assigning semantic meaning to a piece of information so that it can be filed
Encoding information semantically also makes it more retrievable. Retrieving information can
be done by recognition or recall. Humans can easily recall memories that are stored in the
long term memory and used often; however, if a memory seems to be forgotten, it may
eventually be retrieved by prompting. The more cues a person is given (such as pictures),

Most people can remember a phone number for up to thirty seconds. When this short
amount of time elapses, however, the numbers are erased from the memory. How did the
information get there in the first place? Information that makes its way to the short term
memory (STM) does so via the sensory storage area. The brain has a filter which only allows
stimuli that is of immediate interest to pass on to the STM, also known as the working
memory.
There is much debate about the capacity and duration of the short term memory. The most
accepted theory comes from George A. Miller, a cognitive psychologist who suggested that

Modern theorists suggest that one can increase the capacity of the short term memory by
chunking, or classifying similar information together. By organizing information, one can
optimize the STM, and improve the chances of a memory being passed on to long term
storage.

Answer the questions based on the given passage I remember being taught in school about
his landmark experiment in which he recreated the atmosphere of the primitive earth in a
laboratory and shot electricity through it to simulate the effects of lightning. Before long, he
found that amino acids-the building blocks of life-had been created. Sagan called it the
single most significant step in convincing many scientists that life is likely to be abundant in
the cosmos. Chemist William Day said "the experiment showed that this first step in the
creation of life was not a chance event, but it was inevitable". Astronomer Harlow Shapley
said Miller had proven that `the appearance of life is essentially an automatic biochemical
development that comes along naturally when physical conditions are right?. Only two
percent of the material he produced was composed of amino acids. But there was a major
problem with the experiment that has invalidated its results. "Miller and Oparin did not have
any real proof that the earth?s early atmosphere was composed of ammonia, methane, and
hydrogen, which Miller used in his experiment. They based their theory on physical
chemistry. They wanted to get a chemical reaction that would be favorable, and so they
proposed that the atmosphere was rich in those gases. Oparin was smart enough to know
that if you start with inert gases like nitrogen and carbon dioxide, they won?t react." From
1980 on, NASA scientists have shown that the primitive earth never had any methane,
dioxide, and nitrogen and you absolutely cannot get the same experimental results with that
mixture. It just won?t work. More recent experiments have confirmed this to be the case.
Now new discoveries have changed everything-and yet there are generations of former
students still living under the impression that the origin of life issue has been resolved. When
textbooks present the Miller experiment, they should be honest enough to say it was
interesting historically but not terribly relevant to how life actually developed. Which of the

Answer the questions based on the given passage I remember being taught in school about
his landmark experiment in which he recreated the atmosphere of the primitive earth in a
laboratory and shot electricity through it to simulate the effects of lightning. Before long, he
found that amino acids-the building blocks of life-had been created. Sagan called it the
single most significant step in convincing many scientists that life is likely to be abundant in
the cosmos. Chemist William Day said "the experiment showed that this first step in the
creation of life was not a chance event, but it was inevitable". Astronomer Harlow Shapley
said Miller had proven that `the appearance of life is essentially an automatic biochemical
development that comes along naturally when physical conditions are right?. Only two
percent of the material he produced was composed of amino acids. But there was a major
problem with the experiment that has invalidated its results. "Miller and Oparin did not have
any real proof that the earth?s early atmosphere was composed of ammonia, methane, and
hydrogen, which Miller used in his experiment. They based their theory on physical
chemistry. They wanted to get a chemical reaction that would be favorable, and so they
proposed that the atmosphere was rich in those gases. Oparin was smart enough to know
that if you start with inert gases like nitrogen and carbon dioxide, they won?t react." From
1980 on, NASA scientists have shown that the primitive earth never had any methane,
dioxide, and nitrogen and you absolutely cannot get the same experimental results with that
mixture. It just won?t work. More recent experiments have confirmed this to be the case.
Now new discoveries have changed everything-and yet there are generations of former
students still living under the impression that the origin of life issue has been resolved. When
textbooks present the Miller experiment, they should be honest enough to say it was
interesting historically but not terribly relevant to how life actually developed. Which of the

The third line of the first paragraph clearly answers the q uestion.."In turn,
Explanation: investors read these interpretations and combine them with their own data
collection, forming a p ersonal belief and acting accordingly."
22.Fact, logic, and data drive the world of economics. Experts analyze past and current
information in order to draw conclusions on possible future market behavior. In turn, investors
read these interpretations and combine them with their own data collection, forming a personal
belief and acting accordingly. These actions create more data, which the analysts then collect and
examine, creating an interminable loop of information exchange. This unending interaction
seems simple enough; however, the accuracy of economic forecasting is a testament to the true
complexity of this analyst-data-investor matrix. A major source of uncertainty in the field of
forecasting is the fact that, in order to convey pure data to investors in ways they can understand,
a medium of communication must be used. The sheer volume of data being created each second
cannot simply be passed to the investor for comprehension; the analyst must observe it, draw
conclusions, and somehow deliver his or her ?factual prediction? to the investor. It is in this
transference from numbers and fact to visuals and argument that data speaks slyly. A powerful
example of this phenomenon occurs when viewing any visual image attributed to an economic
forecast. Primarily, the transference of data to graphical representation is of great concern.
Economic graphs are unique in the realm of visual images in that they convey an extremely large
amount of concrete information using simple lines and values. Their ability to reduce complex
theory into a simple visual concept certainly renders them as powerful rhetorical devices.
However, this potency is often misused by those who purport to convey truth in forecasting. The
strong logical appeal of a graph can easily overshadow the content of an economic analysis, a
dangerous effect in the hands of an analyst looking for one small piece of data in the
insurmountable pile of information that exists and that grows constantly. Furthermore, many
economic reporters and quasi-forecasters use non-graphical images in their clouded rhetoric,
obscuring the financial analysis with a pathetic appeal. Clearly, visual rhetoric is a subtle yet
potent source of manipulation in the economic realm. This practice of misrepresentation and
misdirection with images abounds in financial literature, detracts from the truth value of
economic prediction, and casts further doubt on the practice?s merit. What is the meaning of the

Directions for questions: Answer the questions based on the given passage
The power of music to control the spirit has always been understood, but within
the last decade, new technologies have made visible the interaction between
music and the physical brain. The making and processing of music involves
structures, networks, and pathways throughout the brain, from the highest order
of conscious reaction to the lowest unconscious levels of response.
Music has been shown to stimulate the brain?s primary engines of human
capacity. Musical engagement exercises attentional networks and executive
function, evokes emotional response and stimulates the central nervous system,
and appears to activate the human mirror-neuron system, supporting the
coupling between perceptual events (visual or auditory) and motor actions (leg,
arm/hand, or vocal/articulatory actions).
At one time, theories of human brain development argued that there was little
16. or no growth of brain cells after age 30.
But recent studies of music and the brain have shown this view to be erroneous.
The brain is a plastic organ and music itself has the power to shape the brain?s
development into later life. The implications of this finding are huge. Providing
opportunities for people to experience music in many settings can have a
profound impact on their healthy development. Exposure to music alters the
physical structure of the brain. Engaging in musical activities not only shapes
the organization of the developing brain but also produces long-lasting changes
even after brain maturation is complete. For example, those who frequently
play a musical instrument are less likely to develop dementia compared to
those who do not, revealing that music works not only to train the brain, but
also to protect cognitive functioning.

increasing the monetary base and lowering the yield on those financial assets. This
is distinguished from the more usual policy of buying or selling government bonds
monetary policy typically involves the central bank buying short-term government
bonds in order to lower short-term market interest rates. However, when short-term
interest rates are at or close to zero, normal monetary policy can no longer lower
further stimulate the economy by purchasing assets of longer maturity than short-
term government bonds, and thereby lowering longer-term interest rates further
out on the yield curve. Quantitative easing raises the prices of the financial assets
bought, which lowers their yield. There are two potential benefits. The first is that
the banks get cash in exchange for the gilts they sell back to the government and
the increase in the money supply leads to an increased volume of lending. The
second is that decreasing the supply of gilts pushes up their price. When gilt prices
go up, gilt yields go down and it is gilt yields that determine long-term interest
rates for overdrafts, some fixed-rate mortgage products and most business lending.
Quantitative easing can be used to help ensure that inflation does not fall below
target. Risks include the policy being more effective than intended in acting against
deflation (leading to higher inflation in the longer term, due to increased money
supply), or not being effective enough if banks do not lend out the additional

the banks get cash in exchange for the gilts they sell back to the government and
the increase in the money supply leads to an increased volume of lending. The
second is that decreasing the supply of gilts pushes up their price. When gilt prices
go up, gilt yields go down and it is gilt yields that determine long-term interest
rates for overdrafts, some fixed-rate mortgage products and most business lending.
Quantitative easing can be used to help ensure that inflation does not fall below
target. Risks include the policy being more effective than intended in acting against
deflation (leading to higher inflation in the longer term, due to increased money
supply), or not being effective enough if banks do not lend out the additional
reserves. According to the IMF and various other economists, quantitative easing

when standard monetary policy has become ineffective. A central bank implements
quantitative easing by buying specified amounts of long term financial assets from
commercial banks and other private institutions, thus increasing the monetary base
and lowering the yield on those financial assets. This is distinguished from the more
involves the central bank buying short-term government bonds in order to lower
short-term market interest rates. However, when short-term interest rates are at or
close to zero, normal monetary policy can no longer lower interest rates.
Quantitative easing may then be used by monetary authorities to further stimulate
bonds, and thereby lowering longer-term interest rates further out on the yield
curve. Quantitative easing raises the prices of the financial assets bought, which
lowers their yield. There are two potential benefits. The first is that the banks get
cash in exchange for the gilts they sell back to the government and the increase in
the money supply leads to an increased volume of lending. The second is that

Plumb has written about the proliferation of provincial theatres, musical festivals,
and children?s toys and books. While the fact of this consumer revolution is hardly
in doubt, three key questions remain: Who were the consumers? What were their
motives? And what were the effects of the new demand for luxuries? An answer to
the first of these has been difficult to obtain. Although it has been possible to infer
from the goods and services actually produced what manufacturers and servicing
documents written by actual consumers will provide a precise picture of who wanted
what. We still need to know how large this consumer market was and how far down
the social scale the consumer demand for luxury goods penetrated. With regard to
this last question, we might note in passing that Thompson, while rightly restoring
To answer the question of why consumers became so eager to buy, some historians

middling sort bought goods and services because they wanted to follow fashions set
by the rich. Again, we may wonder whether this explanation is sufficient. Do not
but not necessarily of the frenzy for conspicuous competition. Finally, what were the
consequences of this consumer demand for luxuries? McKendrick claims that it goes
a long way towards explaining the coming of the Industrial Revolution. But does it?

Read the passage below and answer the questions following it.
The Mumbai that we know about is a land of riches and dazzles. It is also the land
Mumbai is also the tinsel town, where people come with dreams and aspirations to
on television and in magazines. It has the highest mass standard of living India has
ever known.
In the 1950?s this Mumbai worried about itself yet even its anxieties were products
of abundance. The title of a brilliant book was widely misinterpreted, and the
familiar Mumbai began to call itself the affluent society. There was introspection
about the Maine Lines and tail fins; there was discussion of the emotional suffering
In all this, there was an implicit assumption that the basic grinding economic
problems had been solved in the metropolitan Mumbai. In this theory the city's
problems were no longer a matter of basic human needs, of food, shelter and
clothing. Now, they were seen as qualitative, the questions of learning to live
While this discussion was carried on, there existed another Mumbai. In it dwelt
somewhere between 40,000,000 and 50,000,000 citizens of this land. They were
poor. They still are. To be sure, the other Mumbai is not impoverished in the same
sense as those poor nations where millions cling to hunger as a defence against
That does not change the fact the tens of millions of Mumbaites, at this very
moment, maimed in body and spirit, exist at levels beneath those necessary for
human decency. If these people are not starving, they are hungry and sometimes
fat with hunger, for that is what cheap foods do. They are without adequate housing
The clause, 'where millions cling to hunger as a defence against starvation' means

For most people in the world, though, the worry is not that corruption may slow
down their country's GDP growth. It is that their daily lives are pervaded by endless
hassles, big and small. And for all the evidence that some cultures suffer endemic
corruption while others are relatively clean, attitudes towards corruption, and even
the language describing bribery, is remarkably similar around the world.
unprosecutable?and even when the transaction happens far from snooping eyes?a
bribe is almost always dressed up as some other kind of exchange. Though most of
the world is plagued by corruption, even serial offenders try to conceal it.
One manifestation of this is linguistic. Surprisingly few people say: ?You are going
to have to pay me if you want to get that done.? Instead, they use a wide variety of
euphemisms. One type is quasi-official terminology. The first bribe paid by your
correspondent, in Ukraine in 1998, went to two policemen so they would let him
board a train leaving the country. On the train into Ukraine, the customs officer had
absconded with a form that is needed again later to leave the country. The
policemen at the station kindly explained that there was a shtraf, a ?fine? that could
be paid instead of producing the document. The policemen let him off with the
by the bribe-payer. There is plenty of creative scope. Nigerian policemen are known
to ask for ?a little something for the weekend?. A North African term is ?un petit
cadeau?, a little gift. Mexican traffic police will suggest that you buy them a
refresco, a soft drink, as will Angolan and Mozambican petty officials, who call it a

is common even where there is no chance of detection. There will always be some
officials who will take money right from a bribe-payer's hands, but most seem to
prefer to find some way to hide the money from view. A bribe to a border guard
may be folded into a passport. A sweetener to a traffic cop is often placed in the
ticket-book that is handed to the driver. Parag Khanna, who is writing a book about
countries on the edge of the rich world that are trying to get rich themselves,
describes a bribe-taker he spotted in Georgia who he was sure was a rookie. Why?
The scrawny young soldier, forgoing any subtleties, merely rubbed his fingers
together in an age-old gesture. Rich Westerners may not think of their societies as
plagued by corruption. But the definition of bribery clearly differs from person to
person. A New Yorker might pity the third-world businessman who must pay bribes
just to keep his shop open. But the same New Yorker would not think twice about
slipping the maitre d' $50 to sneak into a nice restaurant without a reservation.

Since the late 1970s when the technology for sex determination first came into
being, sex selective abortion has unleashed a saga of horror. Experts are calling it ?
Although foetal sex determination and sex selection is an offence in India, the
practice is rampant. Private clinics with ultrasound machines are doing brisk
business. Everywhere, people are paying to know the sex of the unborn child, and
paying more to abort the female child. The technology has reached even remote
places through mobile clinics. Dr. Puneet Bedi obstetrician and specialist in foetal
medicine, says these days he hardly sees a family with two daughters. People are
getting the sex determination even for the first child, he says.
In the 1991 census showed that two districts had a child sex ratio (number of girls
per thousand boys) less than 850; by 2001 it was 51 districts. Child rights activist
Dr. Sabu George says foeticide is the most extreme form of violence against
women. ?Today a girl is several times more likely to be eliminated before birth than
die of various causes during the first year. Nature intended the womb to be a safe
space. Today Doctors have made it the most unsafe space for the female child, ?he

In regard to propaganda the early advocates of universal literacy and a free press
They did not foresee what in fact has happened, above all in our Western capitalist
in the main neither with the true nor the false, but with the unreal, the more or less
totally irrelevant. In a word, they failed to take into account man's almost infinite
appetite for distractions.In the past most people never got a chance of fully
satisfying this appetite. They might long for distractions,but the distractions were
not provided. Christmas came but once a year, feasts were "solemn and rare," there
were few readers and very little to read, and the nearest approach to a
neighborhood movie theater was the parish church, where the performances,
comparable to those now prevailing we must return to imperial Rome, where the
populace was kept in good humor by frequent, gratuitous doses of many kinds of
to all-out boxing, from concerts to military reviews and public executions.< br> But
even in Rome there was nothing like the non-stop distraction now provided by
newspapers and magazines, by radio, television and the cinema. In Brave New
World non-stop distractions of the most fascinating nature (the feelies, orgy-porgy,
centrifugal bumble puppy) are deliberately used as instruments of policy,for the
purpose of preventing people from paying too much attention to the realities of the
social and political situation. The other world of religion is different from the other
world of entertainment; but they resemble one another in being most decidedly
"not of this world." Both are distractions and, if lived in too continuously, both can
become, in Marx's phrase, "the opium of the people" and so a threat to freedom.
Only the vigilant can maintain their liberties, and only those who are constantly and
procedures. A society, most of whose members spend a great part of their time, not
on the spot, not here and now and in the calculable future, but somewhere else, in
the irrelevant other worlds of sport and soap opera, of mythology and metaphysical
fantasy, will find it hard to resist the encroachments of those who would manipulate
In their propaganda today's dictators rely for the most part on repetition,
accepted as true, the suppression of facts which they wish to be ignored,the arousal

dripped against the blurred background of the bay, where the water was almost the
color of the grass. Mrs. Sennett's five charges were vigorously playing house in the

Boston, and during the summers the Curley children boarded with her on the
Cape.) My expression must have changed. " Are those children making too much
noise?" Mrs. Sennett demanded, a sort of wave going over her that might mark the

and had been for a long time, but she could read lips. You could talk to her without
making any sound yourself, if you wanted to, and she more than kept up her side of
the conversation in a loud, rusty voice that dropped weirdly every now and then
into a whisper. She adored talking. To look at Mrs. Sennett made me think of
eighteenth-century England and its literary figures. Her hair must have been sadly
thin, because she always wore, indoors and out, either a hat or a sort of turban,
and sometimes she wore both. The rims of her eyes were dark; she looked very ill.

Theresa coming through the rain with a shawl over her head. She was bringing me
a six-inchsquare piece of spice cake , still hot from the oven and kept warm
between two soup plates. A few days later I learned from the twins, who brought
over gifts of firewood and blackberries, that their father was coming the next
morning, bringing their aunt and her husband and their cousin. Mrs. Sennett had
promised to take them all on a picnic at the pond some pleasant day. On the fourth

then we all did." The next day I heard that Mrs. Sennett was going back with them
just to " help settle." She came over the following morning to say goodbye,
supported by all five children. She was wearing her traveling hat of black satin and
black straw, with sequins. High and somber, above her ravaged face, it had quite a
Spanishgrandee air. "This isn't really goodbye," she said. "I'll be backas soon as I

Mrs. Sennett and I continued talking. She said she really didn't think she'd stay with
the children another winter. Their father wanted her to, but it was too much for her.
She wanted to stay right here in the cottage. The afternoon was getting along, and
I finally left because I knew that at four o'clock Mrs. Sennett's "sit down" was over
and she started to get supper. At six o'clock, from my nearby cottage, I saw
Theresa coming through the rain with a shawl over her head. She was bringing me
a six-inchsquare piece of spice cake , still hot from the oven and kept warm
between two soup plates. A few days later I learned from the twins, who brought
over gifts of firewood and blackberries, that their father was coming the next
morning, bringing their aunt and her husband and their cousin. Mrs. Sennett had
promised to take them all on a picnic at the pond some pleasant day. On the fourth
day of their visit, Xavier arrived with a note. It was from Mrs. Sennett, written in
Tomorrow is the last day Mr. Curley has and the Children all wanted the Picnic so
much. The Men can walk to the Pond but it is too far for the Children. I see your
Friend has a car and I hate to ask this but could you possibly drive us to the Pond
tomorrow morning? . . .Very sincerely yours, Carmen Sennett After the picnic, Mrs.
Sennett's presents to me were numberless. It was almost time for the children to
go back to school in South Boston. Mrs. Sennett insisted that she was not going;
their father was coming down again to get them and she was just going to stay. He
would have to get another housekeeper. She said this over and over to me, loudly,
and her turbans and kerchiefs grew more and more distrait. One evening, Mary
came to call on me and we sat on an old table in the back yard to watch the sunset.
"Papa came today, " she said, "and we've got to go back day after tomorrow. ""Is
Mrs. Sennett going to stay here? ""She said at supper she was. She said this time
she really was, because she'd said that last year and came back, but now she
means it ."I said, "Oh dear," scarcely knowing which side I was on. "It was awful at
supper. I cried and cried." "Did Theresa cry?" "Oh, we all cried. Papa cried, too. We
always do." "But don't you think Mrs. Sennett needs a rest?" "Yes, but I think she'll
come, though. Papa told her he'd cry every single night at supper if she didn't, and
then we all did." The next day I heard that Mrs. Sennett was going back with them
just to " help settle." She came over the following morning to say goodbye,
supported by all five children. She was wearing her traveling hat of black satin and
black straw, with sequins. High and somber, above her ravaged face, it had quite a
Spanishgrandee air.
"This isn't really goodbye," she said. "I'll be back as soon as I get these bad ,noisy
children off my hands." But the children hung on to her skirt and tugged at her
sleeves, shaking their heads frantically, silently saying, "No! No! No!" to her with

One of the most dangerous drugs for pregnant women to consume is alcohol.
Because alcohol is delivered quickly into the blood and passes quickly into the
tissues and membranes, the human fetus is particularly vulnerable to its effects. In
fact, the negative effects on a fetus are so pronounced that babies born after
pregnant woman drinks alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her her bloodstream
inextricably tied to that of the mother, the alcohol passes directly into the
bloodstream of the fetus as well. And, what is more, the concentration of alcohol in
the fetus is exactly the same as in the mother. For the mother, this concentration is
not a problem because her liver can remove one ounce of alcohol from her system
per hour. However, the fetus's liver is not completely developed (how developed it is
depends on its stage of development). The rate at which it is able to eliminate the
alcohol from the blood of the fetus is much slower. Eventually, the alcohol will be
returned to the mother\'s system by passing across the placenta, but this process is
slow. By the time this takes place, major neurological damage may have already
occurred. Research has shown that as little as one drink of alcohol can produce
significant, irreversible damage to the fetus. Babies born after exposure to alcohol

the shock of the Nazi - Soviet pact and in September the attack on Poland and the
outbreak of European war. The United States attempt to maintain neutrality in spite
of sympathy for the democracies arranged against the Third Reich. The Neutrality
act of 1939 repeated the arms embargo and permitted 'cash' and 'carry' exports of
arms to belligerent nations. A strong national defense program was begun. A draft
act was passed (1940) to strengthen the military services. A Lend - Lease Act

bloodstream of the fetus as well. And, what is more, the concentration of alcohol in
the fetus is exactly the same as in the mother. For the mother, this concentration is
not a problem because her liver can remove one ounce of alcohol from her system
per hour. However, the fetus's liver is not completely developed (how developed it is
depends on its stage of development). The rate at which it is able to eliminate the
alcohol from the blood of the fetus is much slower. Eventually, the alcohol will be
returned to the mother\'s system by passing across the placenta, but this process is
slow. By the time this takes place, major neurological damage may have already
occurred. Research has shown that as little as one drink of alcohol can produce

United States cities have pictured city centers as empty places, avoid of life.
Fortunately, a recent trend in urban development is making some cities lively. One
one hundred shops set in glass pavilions. Not long ago, Baltimore's dockland 5 area,
like clock areas in other older cities, was a collection of abandoned warehouses.
Now the area is expected to add thirty million dollars to Baltimore's annual tax base
and to draw home buyers back to the city and away from the nearby Washington,
DC area. Baltimore has long been a pioneer in urban renewal, not only building
from scratch, as at Harbor place, but preserving and restoring buildings throughout
the town center. Although 10 few cities show this much care for their old residential
areas, the officials of many cities are starting to believe that central districts ought
to be efficiently attractive to draw permanent residents to them. Several other cities
built around water are also exploiting their easily accessible waterfront areas. San
Francisco, in its Ghirardelli Square project, converted an old factory at the edge of
the bay into a labyrinth of boutiques. St. Louis 15 Savannah, Louisville, and
Portland all have "riverside malls" in progress, while Boston's Quincy Market also on
the waterfront , is expected to bring in 1.5 million dollars in city taxes annually. This
trend reflects an important change in social attitudes in the United States, brought

skyscrapers and streets that are empty after five o'clock ,for years it seemed that
the "ideal" home was tranquil suburban 25 residence. But recently, the rise in gas
prices has made long automobile journeys to work less tolerable. Trips of fifty miles
are not uncommon for the suburban commuter. In addition, suburban property
taxes have risen sharply as utility lines are stretched ever farther from central
sources.30 The rise in house prices has increased the differential between city and
suburban property; now it is generally cheaper to buy an old urban house than a
newer suburban one. Young working people, usually without children, are the most
likely purchasers of urban homes. Following these people are huge projects
including apartments, offices, and shops, all embracing the increasingly attractive
belief that people should live, work, and shop within 35 as little traveling distance

After his father's death, writer Laurence Yep returned to San Francisco to look for
the apartment house where his family had lived, which also housed their grocery
store. It had been replaced by a two-story parking garage for a nearby college.
There were trees growing where the store door had been. I had to look at the street
signs on the corner to make sure I was in the right spot. Behind the trees was a
door of solid metal painted a battleship gray Stretching to either side were concrete
walls with metal grates bolted over the openings in the sides. The upper story of
the garage was open to the air but through the grates I could look into the lower
level. The gray, oil- stained concrete spread onward endlessly, having replaced the
red cement floor of our store. Lines marked parking places where my parents had
laid wooden planks to ease the ache and chill on their feet. Where the old-fashioned
glass store counter had been was a row of cars. I looked past the steel I-beams
that formed the columns and ceiling of the garage, peering through the dimness in
an attempt to locate where my father's garden had been; but there was only an
endless stretch of cars within the painted stalls. We called it the garden though that
was stretching the definition of the word because it was only a small, narrow
cement courtyard on the north side of our apartment house. There was only a brief
time during the day when the sun could reach the tiny courtyard; but fuchsia
bushes, which loved the shade, grew as tall as trees from the dirt plot there. Next
to it my father had fashioned shelves from old hundred-pound rice cans and planks;
and on these makeshift shelves he had his miniature flower patches growing in old
soda pop crates from which he had removed the wooden dividers. He would go out
periodically to a wholesale nursery by the beach and load the car with boxes full of
little flowers and seedlings which he would lovingly transplant in his shadowy
garden. If you compared our crude little garden to your own backyards, you would
probably laugh; and yet the cats in the neighbourhood loved my father's garden
almost as much as he did--to his great dismay The cats loved to roll among the
flowers, crushing what were just about the only green growing things in the area.
Other times, they ate them-perhaps as a source of greens. Whatever the case, my
father could have done without their destructive displays of appreciation. I don't
know where my father came by his love of growing things. He had come to San
Francisco as a boy and, except for a brief time spent picking fruit, had lived most of
his life among cement, brick, and asphalt. I hadn't thought of my father's garden in
years; and yet it was the surest symbol of my father. Somehow he could persuade
flowers to grow within the old, yellow soda pop crates though the sun seldom
touched them; and he could coax green shoots out of what seemed like lifeless
sticks. His was the gift of renewal. However, though I stared and stared, I could not
quite figure out where it had been. Everything looked the same; more concrete and
more cars. Store, home and garden had all been torn down and replaced by
something as cold, massive and impersonal as a prison. Even if I could have gone
through the gate, there was nothing for me inside there. If I wanted to return to
that lost garden, I would have to go back into my own memories. Award-winning

For a period of more than two centuries palaeontologists have been intrigued by the
fossilized remains of pterosaurs, the first flying vertebrates. The issues, which
puzzle them, are how these heavy creatures, having a wingspan of about 8-12
meters managed the various problems associated with powered flight and whether
these creatures were reptiles or birds. Perhaps the least controversial assertion
about the pterosaurs is that they were reptiles. Their skulls, pelvises, and hind feet
are reptilian. The anatomy of their wings suggests that they did not evolve into the

sharp claws. In birds the second finger is the principal strut of the wing, which
consists primarily of feathers. If the pterosaurs walked on all fours, the three short
fingers may have been employed for grasping. When a pterosaurs walked or
remained stationary, the fourth finger, and with it the wing, could only urn upward
resemblance they were extremely similar to both birds and bats, with regard to
their overall body structure and proportion. This is hardly surprising as the design of
any flying vertebrate is subject to aerodynamic constraints. Both the pterosaurs and
the birds have hollow bones, a feature that represents a savings in weight. There is
a difference, which is that the bones of the birds are more massively reinforced by
internal struts. Although scales typically cover reptiles, the pterosaurs probably had
hairy coats. T.H. Huxley reasoned that flying vertebrates must have been warm-
blooded because flying implies a high rate of metabolism, which in turn implies a
high internal temperature. Huxley speculated that a coat of hair would insulate
against loss of body heat and might streamline the body to reduce drag in flight.
The recent discovery of a pterosaur specimen covered in long, dense, and relatively
thick hair like fossil material was the first clear evidence that his reasoning was
correct. Some palaeontologists are of the opinion that the pterosaurs jumped from

the birds have hollow bones, a feature that represents a savings in weight. There is

hairy coats. T.H. Huxley reasoned that flying vertebrates must have been warm-
blooded because flying implies a high rate of metabolism, which in turn implies a
high internal temperature. Huxley speculated that a coat of hair would insulate
against loss of body heat and might streamline the body to reduce drag in flight.

For a period of more than two centuries palaeontologists have been intrigued by the
fossilized remains of pterosaurs, the first flying vertebrates. The issues, which
puzzle them, are how these heavy creatures, having a wingspan of about 8-12
meters managed the various problems associated with powered flight and whether
these creatures were reptiles or birds. Perhaps the least controversial assertion
about the pterosaurs is that they were reptiles. Their skulls, pelvises, and hind feet
are reptilian. The anatomy of their wings suggests that they did not evolve into the

sharp claws. In birds the second finger is the principal strut of the wing, which

After his father's death, writer Laurence Yep returned to San Francisco to look for
the apartment house where his family had lived, which also housed their grocery
store. It had been replaced by a two-story parking garage for a nearby college.
There were trees growing where the store door had been. I had to look at the street
signs on the corner to make sure I was in the right spot. Behind the trees was a
door of solid metal painted a battleship gray Stretching to either side were concrete
walls with metal grates bolted over the openings in the sides. The upper story of
the garage was open to the air but through the grates I could look into the lower
level. The gray, oil- stained concrete spread onward endlessly, having replaced the
red cement floor of our store. Lines marked parking places where my parents had
laid wooden planks to ease the ache and chill on their feet. Where the old-fashioned
glass store counter had been was a row of cars. I looked past the steel I-beams
that formed the columns and ceiling of the garage, peering through the dimness in
an attempt to locate where my father's garden had been; but there was only an
endless stretch of cars within the painted stalls. We called it the garden though that
was stretching the definition of the word because it was only a small, narrow
cement courtyard on the north side of our apartment house. There was only a brief
time during the day when the sun could reach the tiny courtyard; but fuchsia
bushes, which loved the shade, grew as tall as trees from the dirt plot there. Next
to it my father had fashioned shelves from old hundred-pound rice cans and planks;
and on these makeshift shelves he had his miniature flower patches growing in old
soda pop crates from which he had removed the wooden dividers. He would go out
periodically to a wholesale nursery by the beach and load the car with boxes full of
little flowers and seedlings which he would lovingly transplant in his shadowy
garden. If you compared our crude little garden to your own backyards, you would
probably laugh; and yet the cats in the neighbourhood loved my father's garden
almost as much as he did--to his great dismay The cats loved to roll among the
flowers, crushing what were just about the only green growing things in the area.
Other times, they ate them-perhaps as a source of greens. Whatever the case, my
father could have done without their destructive displays of appreciation. I don't
know where my father came by his love of growing things. He had come to San
Francisco as a boy and, except for a brief time spent picking fruit, had lived most of
his life among cement, brick, and asphalt. I hadn't thought of my father's garden in
years; and yet it was the surest symbol of my father. Somehow he could persuade
flowers to grow within the old, yellow soda pop crates though the sun seldom
