Chlorofluorocarbons, commonly referred to as CFCs, are non-combustible liquids that were, at one time,
frequently used as refrigerants and aerosol propellants, as well as for cleaning products. Since scientists
discovered CFCs caused the depletion of the ozone layer, CFCs have been phased out, but old refrigerators
and other devices that use CFCs might still be in use. Through inhalation, digestion or other physical contact,
as well as from exposure to harmful levels of ultraviolet rays, CFCs can have a negative impact on human
health. Since CFCs contribute greatly to the loss of the protective ozone layer, which blocks ultraviolet rays
from the sun, spending too much time in direct sunlight can cause skin cancer. According to the University
of Georgia, one in five Americans develops skin cancer. Even without the occurrence of skin cancers, some
individuals experience premature ageing—meaning the skin becomes wrinkled, thick or leathery from too
much sun exposure. Also, increased contact with ultraviolet rays can cause cataracts, macular degeneration
and other eye damage.
Inhalation of CFCs affects the central nervous system, according to the New Hampshire Department of
Environmental Sciences. The result is intoxication similar to alcohol intake and also includes light-headedness,
headaches, tremors and convulsions. Inhalation of CFCs can also disturb heart rhythm, which can lead to
death. Exposure to large amount of CFCs could potentially cause asphyxiation, according to the Center for
Disease Control and Prevention.
According to the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Sciences, exposure to pressurised CFCs,
such as that from a refrigerant leak, can cause frostbite on the skin. Direct skin exposure to CFCs has not
been linked to cancer, according to the Scottish Environment Protection Agency. Ingestion of CFCs can
cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea or other upset to the digestive tract.
Since direct exposure to CFCs is linked to negative effects with the central nervous system, these substances
can generally impair the human immune system. Problems might include difficulty breathing or injury to the
heart, kidneys and liver. The University of Georgia also reports that overexposure to the sun suppresses
overall immune function or the skin’s natural defences.
Read the passage and answer the following questions :

a. What are chlorofluorocarbons commonly known as?
b. What have CFCs caused?
c. CFCs are released from__________
d. Why are CFCs harmful?
e. What could cause asphyxiation?

Spices bring to mind images of tempting culinary art, fascinating travels and the bitter struggle for supremacy.
Expressions like ‘Variety is the spice of life’ and ‘Sugar and spice and all that’s nice’ show how spellbound
were men of letters about spices.
To Orientals, spices are indeed the soul of food. In the Western world, it evokes dreams of exotic tropical
islands, exciting expeditions to find routes to the source and the rise and fall of empires. Columbus went
westwards in 1492 from Europe to find a sea route to the land of spices but found the New world. Eight years
later, Vasco da Gama went round Africa and touched Kozhikode on the South-West coast of India. Long
before that, Arabs started trading with the Orient through land routes. During the 13th century, Marco Polo
experienced the attraction of spices in his travels. Even the European conquests and trade arrangements in
India and the East Indies had a lot to do with spices.
Thousands of years ago, great masters of Ayurveda (the Indian system of medicine), notably Susruta and
Charaka, discussed in detail the use of spices for culinary and medicinal purposes. Enterprising soldiers of
fortune took the knowledge of spices to Egypt. There they used spices and aromatic herbs in food, medicine,
cosmetics and for embalming. The conquest of Eqypt and Asia by Alexander the Great, made spices an
article of commerce in Mediterranean countries and later in central and northern Europe. There are reports of
pepper being used in meat, both to aid preservation, and to mask the unwelcome odour of deterioration of
quality, during the long winter storage,
Hippocrates, the father of modern medicine, and Theophrastus, a Greek scholar and botanist, wrote treatises
on medicinal plants, including spices. India has been home to most of the major spices of the world with
varieties from Kerala dominating international trade.

a. Why do spices fascinate people ?
b. Where do Orientals live?
c. Where did Columbus want to reach ?
d. What is meant by ‘culinary skills’?
e. What did Susruta and Charaka discuss in detial?
f. What made spices an article of commerce in Mediterranean countries?

PASSAGE # 1
How you can best improve your English depends on where you live and particularly on whether or not you live
in an English speaking community. If you hear English spoken every day and mix freely with English speaking
people, that is on the whole an advantage. On the other hand, it is often confusing to have the whole
language, poured over you at once. Ideally, a step-by-step course should accompany this experience. It will
also help a great deal if you can easily get the sort of English books in which you are interested.
To read a lot is essential. It is stupid not to venture outside the examination ‘set books’ or the textbooks you
have chosen for intensive study. Read as many books in English as you can, not as a duty but for pleasure.
Do not choose the most difficult books you find, with the idea of listing and learning as many new words as
possible : choose what is likely to interest you and be sure in advance that it is not too hard. You should not
have to be constantly looking up new words in the dictionary, for that deadens interest and checks real
learning. Look up a word here and there, but as a general policy try to push ahead, guessing what words
mean from the context. It is extensive and not intensive reading that normally helps you to get interested in
extra reading and thereby improve your English. You should enjoy the feeling which extensive reading gives
of having some command of the language. As you read, you will become more and more familiar with words
and sentence patterns you already know, understanding them better and better as you meet them in more
and more contexts, some of which may differ only slightly from others.
Some people say that we cannot learn to speak a language better with the help of a book. To believe this is
to believe that the spoken language and the written language are quite different things. This is not so. There
is a very great deal in common between the two. In learning the patterns and vocabulary of the written form,
we are learning to a considerable extent those of the spoken form too. We are, in fact, learning the language
and not merely one form of the language.
a. What advantage does the author talk about in the first paragraph?
b. Why is it essential to read books?
c. Which form of reading may improve your English?
d. Can we learn to speak a language from a book?
e. Which word in paragraph 3 means 'notably large or significant'?
f. Find the antonym of the word 'essential'?
g. Why one should not choose to read difficult books?
h. On what two things how best can you improve your English depends?
PASSAGE # 2
A great defect of our civilisation is that it does not know what to do with its knowledge. Science has given us
powers fit for the Gods, yet we use them like small children. For example, we do not know how tp manage
our machines. Machines were made to be mans servants. Yet he has grown so dependent on them that they
are in a fair way to become his masters. Already most men spend most of their lives looking after and waiting
upon machines. And the machines are very stern masters. They must be kept at the right temperature. And
if they do not get their meals when they expect them, they grow sulky and refuse to work or burst with rage
and blow up and spread ruin and destruction all round them. So we have to wait upon them very attentively
and do all that we can to keep them in a good temper. Already we find it difficult either to work or play without
the machines and a time may come when they will rule us altogether, just as we rule the animals.
And this brings me to the point where I want to ask, what we do with all the time which the machines have
saved for us and the new energy they have given us? On the whole, it must be admitted, we do very little. For
the most part we use our time and energy to make more and better machines which will give us still more
time and still more energy, and what are we to do with them? The answer I think is that we should try to
become more civilised. For, the machines themselves and the power which the machines have given us are
not civilisation, but aids to civilisation. But being civilised means making and liking beautiful things, thinking
freely and living rightly and maintaining justice. Man has a better chance today to do these things than he
ever had before; he has more time, more energy, less to fear and less to fight against. If he will give his time
and energy, which his machines have won for him, to making more beautiful things, to finding out more and
more about the universe, to removing the causes of quarrels between nations, to discovering how to prevent
poverty, then I think our civilisation would undoubtedly be greater, as it would be more lasting than it has ever
been.
a. What is the defect of our civilisation?
b. How can we say that the machines are demanding?
c. What does being civilised mean? How should we use the extra time we have now?

c. Extensive reading is the form of reading that builds up our interest. It improves our English and lets us
rejoice the hold we gain over the language with time.
