1. Comprehensive lifestyle changes including a better diet and more'exercise can lead not only to a better physique, but also to swift and drama tic changes at the genetic level, as U. S. researchers advocate re­cently. In a small study, the researchers tracked thirty men with low-risk prostate cancer who deCided against conventional medical treatment such as surgery and radiation or hormone therapy. The men underwent three months of major lifestyle changes, including eating a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes' and soy products, moderate exercise such as walking for half an hour a day, and an . hour of daily stress management methods such as meditation. As expected, they lost weight, Iowered their blood pressure and experienced other health improvements. The researchers ascertained more pro­found changes when they compared prostate biopsies taken before and after the lifestyle changes of these men. After the three months, there were changes in activity in about five hundred genes of each of these men including forty eight that were turned on, and four hundred fifty three . genes that were turned off. The activity of disease-preventing genes increased while a number of disease-promoting genes, including those involved in prostate cancer and breast cancer, shut down, according to the study published in the journal, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.· The research was led by Dr. Dean Ornish, head of the Preventive Medicine Research Institutein Sausalito, California, and a well­known author advocating lifestyle changes .to improve health. "It's an exCiting finding because so often people say, it's all in my genes, what can I do it turns out you may be able to do a lot," Ornish, who is also affiliated with the University of California, San FranCisco, said in a tele­phone interview. " just three months, I can change hundreds of my genes simply' by changing what I'eat and how I live That's pretty eXCiting," Ornish said. "The implications of our study are not limited to men with prostate cancer." Questions on Passage

1. .The main focus of the article is that a healthy lifestyle: .

Can help all cancer patients

2. Apart from eating healthy food and exercising, the men in the study:

Were taught techniques to handle tension

Were put under various stresses

3. In total, genes changed as .. a result of the healthy lifestyle.

48

453

500



4. This was what happened to some of the disease-causing genes:

Their activity increased

Their activity ceased

There was little change in their activity

These genes helped in removing cancer



5. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the article?

Patients undergoing standard treatment·

6. There is still no consensus about how the Neanderthals were driven to extinction, . leaving our Homo Sapiens ancestors without any competition. The·· disappearance of the native European Neanderthals is odd partly because their shorter, stockier bodies must have made· them better able to withstand the colder
.temperatures that prevailed when their cousins from Africa entered Europe. With a smaller surface area, the Neanderthal body would have been able to retain more heat. The once common assumption that· the key was the inferior vocal abilities of the Neanderthal has since-been disproved . by research on the Neanderthal hyoid bone, located in the throat. The larger skull capacity and, thus, the larger brain is another respect in which they no longer seem to have been inferior.
It was once thought that proof of a superior intellect was to be found in the narrower Homo Sapiens stone tools known as which were.assumed to be more efficient than the broader 'flakes' used by .the Neanderthals. In a number of important· ways, including durability, this iqea has ..
. proved to be unfounded. However, the blades would have been more effective as tips for throwings pears where as the stone flakes would have been limited to the kind

of thrusting spears the Neanderthals are believed to have used. This could have combined with the greater agility of the Homo Sapiens to give them a distinct advantage in hunting in open terrain.
. Crucial in this respect were the larger canals in the Homo Sapiens inner ear, providing a more acute sense of balance, in addition to the longer limbs and lighter build. The Neanderthal.technique of hiding and lying in wait for passing animals ceased to be viable when the dense forests of Europe began to recede. After a period of co-existence with their cousins, the Ne anderthals were slowly eraditcated.

6. According to the passage, what is . now believed about the stone tools used by the Neanderthals compared to those of the Homo Sapiens?

They were at least as long lasting

They could have been used as better spear tips

They were longer and narrower

They indicate a superior mental capacity


7. The passage states that the Neanderthals. relied on the dense forests:

provide cover when hunting

For firewood and shelter

provide wood for spears

To hide from their attackers


8. The hyoid bone is evidence of

A capacity for language

An ability to adapt to a cold climate

Brain capacity

The inferior anatomy of the Neanderthal


9. The Neanderthals were wiped out:

Before the Homo Sapiens arrived

In battles with their opponents

After the climate changed

Due to their primitive social organization


10. According to the passage, which of . the following is NOT an older assumption that has now been cast in doubt?

Neanderthals were considerably less intelligent than Homo Sapiens

The Neanderthals evolved first in Africa

Flakes were inferior to blades in all respects

Neanderthals had very poor communication skills

Direction (0. Nos; 71 to 80) The following ten questions are based on two passages. Read'each passage and answerthe questions that follow.
·Passage-1 Usha, a friendly 40 years old with an enor­. mous smile, can pinpoint the exact day her community stopped being one of the untouchable castes, untouchability being abolished by law in 1950. Still, manually cleaning the dry toilets by them continued well into the 21 st century, and still they were not accepted by the society as clean hu-. man beings. It was 2003, and Usha was on her way to work when Bindeshwar Pathak stopped her: She recalls being amazed that a "nicely dressed" man would even speak with someone like her: a manual cleaner of dry toilets. As such, it was her job to clean human waste, by hand, from homes that lacked flushing toilets in her town in Rajasthan.
Dr. Pathak asked her why she cOvered her face with her shawl and why she seemed ashamed to talk to him. At the time, Usha had no ideashe was speaking to the man whose mission it was to end manual' cleaning and who would eventually change her life.
Pathak founded an organization called Sulabh in 1970 to wipe out manual cleaning by replacing unplumbed toilets with affordable flushing ones, and by giving cleaners training for other jobs.
"Shopkeepers would drop the rice to me­.they wouldn't touch me," Usha remembers, losing hersmile for a moment. "And they made me put my money down, away from them. They threw water over it before
taking it."

Today, she earns living selling homemade
pickles and embroidered cloths.
Manual scavenging was banned in India
in 1993, by a law that forbids the
construction of dry toilets and requires
existing ones to be destroyed. But in India,
such laws terid to be implemented slowly.
There are probably several hundred
thousand manual cleaners still working. A .
recent survey found there were over 1;000

Passage-2 Today, millions of people want to learn and improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method. Also, the question arises if it is better to study English in Britain or America or to study the language in your . own<:ountry. The advantages of En,glish in ·Britain or America seem obviou.s.Firstly,., ·you will be able to Iistentothetarrg"uageeall the time in those Countrie'S ·from native speakers. You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you ·go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the language wherever you need to communicate your thoughts and ideas, to express your feeling, and to seek and'give information. In India, on the other hand, it is always possible to use your mother tongue to fulfil all your communication purposes. Asa result, your learning and using of English happens only in the
English class in school, and so learning the .
language becomes slower..
However, there are also advantages of

staying at home and learning English. You don't have to make big changes to your life. As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain or America but it is never possible to achieve the same results as living and learni,ng English in the UK or the USA. If you have good English teachers in India, you can learn the language in a more concentrated way than being in Britain or America. .
