Researchers in Mumbai have found taht certain types of gall stones can be dissolved by injecting them with a gasoline additive in the form of ether. The ether is injected through a tube directly into the gall bladder The one day treatment works only on cholesterol based stones, not those composed largely of calcium. However, as the cholesterol stone use by for the most common type, for millions of gall stones suffers the treatment should offer a welcome alternative to surgery, the commonest options in the hospitals 9. Injecting eitehr into the gall bladder dissolves most gall stones 10. surgery is only treatment for calcium based gallstones 11. Only a few hundred people suffer from calcium based gall stones 12. It takes more than one day for ether to dissolve to calcium-based gallstones.

Confucious said that to know the future we have to understand the part on his time transport, communications and scientific knowledge were less developed than they are today. News took weeks to travel whereas today satellite links connect the continents virtually instantaneously, but other technological advancer in the field of communication seen not to have improved our capacity to understood one another 17. if confucious days people were more intelligent 18. we understood each then better non than in Confucious time because we can travel more quickly. 19. we have great improvements in transport since confucious days 20. None of one scientific discoveries was really improved our lives F NOT WRITTEN G. Statistics show that million of vehicles have been carried by shuttle over the past 30 years through Alpine tunnels without one ever catching fire. In the Alpine tunnels, drivers andpassengers sit in thier vehicles on the shuttle trains. Only one vehicle has ever caught fire on the busy French motorail equivalent system, this sort of accident is not possible in closed shuttle assertions that a vehicle fire will lead to catastrophe have no basis since the resources exist to detect, control an adjoining wagon. leaving any surviving fire facing rapid extinction with in a wagon built to contain fire for 30 minutes, catastrope seems very unlikely 25. if a care caught fire in a rail shuttle probably none would be killed 26. atleast one vehicle has caught fire in a Alpine tunnel 27. if a fire started in a wagon, it would be allowed to burn itself out in 30 minutes 28. it would theoretically be possible for a car to catch fire in a closed shuttle system H. Every form of art is protected by copyright, upon the expiration of which property passes into the public domain and becomes freely available to anyone whistry to exploit it commercially. The time has come when all treasures should pass to the control of a trust and by this be made readily available to anyone on payment of fee or royalty. The income from the works of Tagore would alone be enormous. Those who now gain financial benefit from his genius should make some contribution to the welfare of the arts in general. 29. Tagore's plays are not protected by copyright 30. Tagore's descendants should be asked to make some contribution to the arts 31. Instead of buying a ticket, theatregoers should pay a fee to trust for the benefit of the arts 32. More people could go to the theatre if copyright were abolished. I. Hacking is a crime made possible by a relatively new technology, which is one of the reasons it is often poorly understood and reported. Many computers but by no means all, are now linked with others on the same network - if a computer is not networked, no are authorised, networking in just a way of making work easier an more productive. Hacking, on the other hand, is the unauthor issue use of networks extract entry into the computers themselves. Most people do not need to break into the networks they use. since they are already accredited users. 33. Most hackers are authorised to break into networks 34. Computer are only vulnerable to the unauthorised manipulation of their data via another computer if they are networked. 35. The main reason why it is relativey cast to break into a computer is that few people understood the technology. 36. Hackers do not work for the firms whose networks they break into J. Although inradem, represent a threat to the conservation of flora and fauna, these are two special cases inwhich inrasions have been deliberately brought about. One is the desire to control pests by naural predators, which amy have to be brought in from other countries. the two is releaasing organisms into the wild ( or onto farms, from which they might escape). that are completely novel because they have been genetically engineered. There is nothing intrinsincally simister about engineered organisms, but any novelty must be reagarded as a potential inrader. 37. Pest control does not threaten the conservation of flor and fauna 38. genetically, engineered organism must always be regarded as potentially dangerous. K. Electronics-Technology is coming to the rescue of helicopters which can be grounded or crash in a icy condtions. The machines are especially vulnerable to the build up of ice on both their rotors and engine air intake when operating cold, damp conditions The problem is two fold: ice increases the weight and the build up makes the aerofoils less efficiency. Now atleast a detector has been devised which the company hopes will mean safer flights and less frequent grounding unlike most devices in use at present it can detect the liquid water content of cloud above freezing level, so the warning is given before the potential hazard encountered. 37. An electronic device has been invented which will prevent the buildup of ice on helicopters rotors. 40. Helicopters are sometimes grounded because in cold damp weather their engine air intakes and rotors malfunctioning owming to the formation of ice. 41. only one device can at present detect the liquid water content of cloud above breezing level. 42. In future fewer helicopters will crash or have to be grounded. L. Any one has systematically examined faces will have perceived a preponderance allthough not a proliferation of assymetry whether or not the expressions rational and self controlled or spontaneous appears to predict facial assymetry as does type of emotion portrayed. Positive emotions are usually displayed symmetrically although a left sided representaion of a negative emotions are less likely to symmetrically represented where assymetry occurs relative left sided expressiveness is the more common. Questions: 43. An angry person is more likely to have alopsided expression than some one who is smiling 44. A deliberately assumed facial expression will always be assymetrical 45. An actor is likely to smile symmetrically when acting. 46. More self-concious people are likely to have less asymmetrical facial express than those who are less aware of themelves. M. Human existence is not succeptible of arbitrary division between conciousness and unconcioueness. The concious world invades and shaped the activities of the unconcious, while many of the great achievements of humanity working hour were wholly or partly inspired bydreams. Even if it could be argued that dreams preceded wxperience such a dreaming on the working state would remain unclear but as yet no common parental dreaming. Questions: 47. Sleep can be creative state 48. It is difficult to tell whether a sleeper is dreaming or not 49. If we know what babies dream about before they are born, we could show that the concious and unconcious mind influence one another. 50. It is untrue to claim that the concious and unconcious words never impinge on another. Answers: 1.B 2.C 3.A 4.C 5.B 6.B 7.A 8. 9.A 10.B 11.C 12.A 13.A 14.B 15.A 16.B 17.C 18.B 19.A 20 B 21.
