WRITTEN TEST (3 sections) NO –VE MARKING 1.Analytical Ability (25 Q, 30 Minutes)Venn diagram questionsData sufficiencycoding 1 represented as $ and 0 as *(easy.. jus convert it into Binary)Cubes related questions are very important My suggestion is do Coding First. Then Venn dig. Cube problem n others..u can surely score full marks fm coding n venn dig…cube is also easy when u understand it.For cube take the cubic root of the no of pieces.64 means 4(keep as x value)..then 2 side painted means 12*(x-2).1side painted means 6*(x-2) 2 . (horizontal n vertical) like wise u must think n apply according to the question.. 1.venn dig- people hving dif heights 6feet ,6’6 feet, 5’5 feet.and questions like no of people who is 6 feet.no of people who is 5’5feet….. 2.In codin there will be only normal arithmetic operations n L.c.m..i don remember them. For ex..64/4= 16 = $****.first solve it n convert it to binary.. 3.Cube- a cube of 12 cm is cut into small 3cm pieces..then place another 4 small cubes over it..and another 2 small cubes over the 4cubes..then again one more cube over the 2 cube…the cube is then painted from top to bottom 12/3=4…so 4row 4column…draw a dig of cube first. Imagining the cube only help u to solve rather than formulas. How many cubes r painted on only one side? how many cubes r painted on only 2 sides? how many cubes r painted on only 3 sides? how many cubes r painted on only 4 sides? how many cubes r painted 0 sides? (my friends told me tat cube problems hav more marks than other questions) 2.Verbal Ability (20 Q, 20 Min) Comprehension Find out the incorrect sentenceFind out the correct sentenceJumbled Passages-Don prepare any thing for this ..It won help u..Jumbled sent n correct incorrect sent are a little confusing..it depends on ur grammer n English language skills. do the comprehension last(it is a very big passage..i didn’t even read it ,jus ticked..no time) 3.Attention Details (20 Q, 20 Min) Find the odd man outAnalogy of figures (Simple)syllogism Puzzle Very easy compared to other sections..any one can crack it with out any preparation..If u think to prepare jus go through puzzle test n syllogism from R.S.Agarwal Verbal reasoning

According to Albert Einstein the non mathematician, is seized by a mysterious shuddering when he hears of 'four-dimensional' things, he is seized by a feeling, which is very similar to the thoughts awakened by the occult. And at the same time the statement that the world in which we live is a four-dimensional space - time continuum is quite a common place statement.

This might lead to an argument regarding the use of the term ''commonplace'' by Einstein. Yet the difficulty lies more in the wording than the ideas. Einstein's concept of the universe as a four-dimensional space-time continuum becomes plain and clear, when what he means by ''continuum'' becomes clear. A continuum is something that is continuous, A ruler, for example, is a one-dimensional space continuum. Most rulers are divided into inches and frWASLions, scaled down to one-sixteenth of an inch.

Will it be possible to conceive a ruler, which is calibrated to a millionth or billionth of an inch. In theory there is no reason why the steps from point to point should not be even smaller. What distinguishes a continuum is the fWASL that the space between any two points can be sub-divided into an infinite number of smaller divisions.

A railroad track is a one-dimensional space continuum and on it the engineer of a train can describe his position at any time by citing a single co-ordinate point - i.e., a station or a milestone. A sea captain, however, has to worry about two dimensions. The surface of the sea is a two-dimensional continuum and the co-ordinate points by which sailor fixes his positions in his two dimensional continuum are latitude and longitude. An airplane pilot guides his plane through a three - dimensional continuum, hence he has to consider not only latitude and longitude, but also his height above the ground. The continuum of an airplane pilot constitutes space as we perceive it. In other words, the space of our world is a three-dimensional continuum.

Just indicating its position in space is not enough while describing any physical event, which involves motion. How position changes in time also needs to be mentioned. Thus to give an accurate picture of the operation of a New York - Chicago express, one must mention not only that it goes from New - York to Albany to Syracuse to Cleveland to Toledo to Chicago, but also the times at which it touches each of those points. This can be done either by means of a timetable or a visual chart. If the miles between New York and Chicago are plotted horizontally on a piece of ruled paper and the hours and minutes are plotted vertically, then a diagonal line properly drawn across the page illustrates the progress of the train in two - dimensional space - time continuum. This type of graphic representation is familiar to most newspaper readers; a stock market chart, for example, pictures financial events in a two - dimensional dollar - time continuum. Similarly for the best picturisation of the flight of an airplane from New York to Los Angeles a four - dimensional space - time continuum is essential. The latitude, longitude and altitude will only make sense to the traffic manager of the airline if the time co - ordinate is also mentioned. Therefore time is the fourth dimension. If a flight has to be looked at, perceived as a whole, it wouldn't work if it is broken down into a series of disconnected take - offs, climbs, glides, and landing, it needs to be looked at and perceived as a continuous four - dimensional space - time continuum curve.

Few areas of neuron behavioral research seemed more promising is the early sixties than that investigating the relationship between protein synthesis and learning. The conceptual framework for the research was derived directly from molecular biology, which had shown that genetic information is stored in nucleic acids and expressed in proteins why not acquired information as well.

The first step towards establishing a connection between protein synthesis and learning seemed to be to block memory (cause adhesion) by interrupting the production of proteins. We were fortunate in finding a non lethal dosage of puromycin that could, it first appealed, thoroughly inhibit brain protein synthesis as well as reliability produce amnesia.

Before the actual connection between protein synthesis and learning could be established however we began to have douche about whether inhibition of protein synthesis was in fact the method by which puromycin produced amnesia. First, ocher drugs, glutavimides themselves potent protein synthesis inhibitors either failed to cause amnesia in some situations where it could easily be induced by puromycin or produced an amnesia with a different time course from that of puromycin. Second, puromycin was found to inhabit protein synthesis by breaking certain amino acid chaim, and the resulting fragments were suspected of being the actual cause of amnesia is some eases. Third, puromycin was reported to cause abnormalities in the train, including seizures. Thus, not only were decreased protein synthesis and amnesia dissociated, but alternative mechanism for the amnestic action of puromycin were readily suggested.

So, puromycin turned out to be a disappointment. It came to be regarded as a poor agent for amnesia studies, although, of course, it was poor only in the context of our original


paradigm of protein synthesis inhibition. In our frustration, our initial response was simply to change dregs rather than our conceptual orientation. After many such disappointments, however, it now appears unlikely, that we will make a firm connection between protein synthesis and learning merely by pursuing the approaches of the past our experience with drugs has shown that all the amnestic agents, often interfere with memory in ways that seem unrelated to their inhibition of protein synthesis. More importantly, the notion that the interruption or intensification of protein production in the train can be related in cause and affect fashion to learning non seems simplistic and unproductive. Remove the battery from a car and the car will not go Drive the car a long distance at high speed and the battery will become more highly charged. Neither of these facts proves that the battery power the car, only knowledge of the overall automotive system will reveal it mechanism of locomotion and the role of the battery with in the system.

1. The primary purpose a the passage is to show that extensive experimentation has A. Mot supported the hypothesis that learning is directly dependent on protein

synthesis B. Cast doubt on the value of puromycin in the newer behavioral study of learning C. Revealed the importance of amnesia in the neuron behavioral study of learning D. Demonstrated the importance of amino acid fragmentation in the induction of

Ans : A

2. According to the passage, neuron behaviorists initially based their belief that protein synthesis was related to learning on which of the following?

A. Specific research into learning on which of the following B. Traditional theories about learning C. Historic experiments on the effects puromycin D. Previous discoveries in molecular biology E. Now technique in protein synthesis.

Ans : D

3. This passage was most likely excepted from A. A book review in a leading journal devoted to genetic research. B. A diary kept by a practicing neuron behavioral research C. An article summarizing a series of scientific investigations in neuron behavioral

MARK HUGHES is a master of the fine art of survival. His Los Angeles-based Herbalife International Inc. is a pyramid outfit that peddles weight-loss and nutrition concoctions of dubious value. Bad publicity and regulatory crackdowns hurt his U.S. business in the late 1980s. But Hughes, 41, continues to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle in a $20 million Beverly Hills mansion. He has been sharing the pad and a yacht with his third wife, a former Miss Petite U.S.A. He can finance this lavish lifestyle just on his salary and bonus, which last year came to $7.3 million.

He survived his troubles in the U.S. by moving overseas, where regulators are less zealous and consumers even more naive, at least initially. Today 77% of Herbalife retail sales derive from overseas. Its new prowling grounds: Asia and Russia. Last year Herbalife's net earnings doubled, to $45 million, on net sales of $632 million. Based on Herbalife's Nasdaq-traded stock, the company has a market capitalization of $790 million, making Hughes 58% worth $454 million.

There's a worm, though, in Hughes apple. Foreigners aren't stupid. In the end they know when they've been had. In France, for instance, retail sales rose to $97 million by 1993


http://www.bestsamplequestions.com/gre-questions/reading-comprehension/reading-comprehension-18.html

and then plunged to $12 million last year. In Germany sales hit $159 million in 1994 and have since dropped to $54 million.

Perhaps aware that the world may not provide an infinite supply of suckers, Hughes wanted to unload some of his shares. But in March, after Herbalife's stock collapsed, he put off a plan to dump about a third of his holdings on the public.

Contributing to Hughes' woes, Herbalife's chief counsel and legal attack dog, David Addis, quit in January. Before packing up, he reportedly bellowed at Hughes, "I can't protect you anymore." Addis, who says he wants to spend more time with his family, chuckles and claims attorney-client privilege.

Trouble on the home front, too. On a recent conference call with distributors, Hughes revealed he's divorcing his wife, Suzan, whose beaming and perky image adorns much of Herbalife's literature.

Meanwhile, in a lawsuit that's been quietly moving through Arizona's Superior Court, former Herbalife distributor Daniel Fallow of Sandpoint, Idaho charges that Herbalife arbitrarily withholds payment to distributors and marks up its products over seven times the cost of manufacturing. Fallow also claims Hughes wanted to use the Russian mafia to gain entry to that nation's market.

Fallow himself is no angel, but his lawsuit, which was posted on the Internet, brought out other complaints. Randy Cox of Lewiston, Idaho says Herbalife "destroyed my business" after he and his wife complained to the company that they were being cheated out of their money by higher-ups in the pyramid organization.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@APTITUDE TEST


wrong answer carry 0.25 marks., Offline (paper & pen) test



For a period of more than two centuries paleontologists 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 class of birds. In pterosaurs a greatly elongated fourth finger of each forelimb supported a winglike membrane. The other fingers were short and reptilian, with 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 in an extended inverted V- shape along each side of the animal's body.

In 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

http://fw.freshersworld.com/placementweek/showpaper.asp?cid=28&pid=14267&pgcount=1&prio=6


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 paleontologists are of the opinion that the pterosaurs jumped from s dropped from trees or perhaps rose into the light winds from the crests of waves in order to become airborne. Each theory has its associated difficulties. The first makes a wrong assumption that the pterosaurs hind feet resembled a bat's and could serve as hooks by which the animal could hang in preparation for flight. The second hypothesis seems unlikely because large pterosaurs could not have landed in trees without damaging their wings. The third calls for high aces to channel updrafts. The pterosaurs would have been unable to control their flight once airborne as the wind from which such waves arose would have been too strong.

1. As seen in the above passage scientists generally agree that: A. the pterosaurs could fly over large distances because of their large

wingspan. B. a close evolutionary relationship can be seen between the pterosaurs and

bats, when the structure of their skeletons is studied. C. the study of the fossilized remains of the pterosaurs reveals how they

solved the problem associated with powered flight D. the pterosaurs were reptiles E. Pterosaurs walked on all fours.

Answer : D

2. As inferred from the passage, the skeleton of a pterosaur is distinguishable from that of a bird by the

A. length of its wingspan B. hollow spaces in its bones C. anatomic origin of its wing strut D. evidence of the hooklike projections on its hind feet E. location of the shoulder joint joining the wing to its body.

Answer : C

3. From the viewpoint of T.H.Huxley, as given in the passage, which of the following statements is he most likely to agree with?

A. An animal can master complex behaviors irrespective of the size of it's brain.

B. Environmental capabilities and physical capabilities often influence the appearance of an animal.

C. Usually animals in a particular family group do not change their appearance dramatically over a period of time


D. The origin of flight in vertebrates was an accidental development rather than the outcome of specialization or adaption

E. The pterosaurs should be classified as birds, not reptiles.

Answer : B

4. The organization of the last paragraph of the passage can best be described as:

A. New data is introduced in order to support a traditional point of view B. Three explanations are put forth and each of them is disputed by means of

specific information C. An outline of three hypotheses are given and evidence supporting each of

them is given D. Description of three recent discoveries is presented, and their implications

for future study are projected E. The material in the earlier paragraphs is summarized and certain

conclusions are from it.

Answer : B

5. According to the passage, some scientists believe that pterosaurs A. Lived near large bodies of water B. Had sharp teeth for tearing food C. Were attacked and eaten by larger reptiles D. Had longer tails than many birds E. Consumed twice their weight daily to maintain their body temperature.

Answer : A


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 neighborhood 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 author Laurence Yep did return to his father's garden in

his memories. In 1991 he published The Lost Garden an autobiography in which he tells



of growing up in San Francisco and of coming to use his writing to celebrate his family

and his ethnic heritage.

The establishment of the third Reich influenced events in American history by starting a chain of events which culminated in war between Germany and the United States. The complete destruction of democracy, the persecution of laws, the war on religion, the cruelty and barrbarism of the Nazis and especially, the plans of Germany and her allies, Italy and Japan, for world conquest caused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war. While speaking out against Hitler's atrocities, the American profile generally favored isolationist policies, and neutrality. The neutrality acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them. In 1937 the president was empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion

American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt's quarantine the aggressor speech at Chicago (1937) in which he severely criticized Hitler's policies. Germany's seizure of Austria and Munich pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia (1938) also around the American people. The conquest of Czechoslovakia in March 1939 was another rude awakening to the menace of the third Reich. In August, 1939, came 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 (1940) authorized the president to sell, exchange or lend materials to any county deemed necessary by him for the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain territory in the western Hemisphere. In August 1941, President Roosevelt and prime minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war. In December 1941, Japan launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl harbor, immediately thereafter Germany declared war on the united states.

Directions for Questions 6-10: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage

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 exposure to alcohol are said to be suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome. As a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her her bloodstream almost simultaneously. Moreover, because thebloodstream of the fetus is 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 generally exhibit facial distortion, inability to concentrate, and difficulty in remembering. Simply speaking, it is imperative that pregnant women avoid alcohol.


6. How much time can it be inferred that it takes alcohol to enter a woman's bloodstream after she takes a drink?

A. about one hour B. a few seconds C. several minutes D. at least 24 hours

Ans: B

7. According to the passage, how does the concentration of alcohol in a fetus compare to that in the mother?

A. The concentration is more. B. The concentration is less. C. The concentration is equivalent. D. The concentration cannot be measured.

Ans: C

8. It can be inferred that the development of a fetal liver depends on

A. how many months pregnant the mother is B. how much alcohol the mother has consumed C. how large the fetus is





D. how well the mother has taken care of the fetus

Answer: A

9. According to the passage, how is alcohol finally returned to the mother's system?

A. it is carried through the bloodstream B. it is transferred across the placenta C. it is expelled by the fetus's liver D. it is not completely returned

Ans: B

10. Which one of the following was NOT mentioned as a sign of fetal alcohol syndrome?

A. disfigurement of the face B. concentration difficulties C. increased aggression D. memory problems

Ans: C

Outside, the rain continued to run down the screened windows of Mrs. Sennett's little Cape Cod cottage. The long weeds and grass that composed the front yard 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 dining room. (In the wintertime, Mrs. Sennett was housekeeper for a Mr. Curley, in 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 beginning of her getting up out of her chair. I shook my head no, and gave her a little push on the shoulder to keep her seated. Mrs. Sennett was almost stone-deaf 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. 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-inch-square 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 blue ink, in a large, serene, ornamented hand, on linen-finish paper:. . . 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 backas 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 their puckered-up mouths

Following are some questions on this passage: 1. According to the narrator, Mrs. Sennett wears a hat because she:

A. is often outside. B. wants to look like a literary figure. C. has thin hair. D. has unique taste in clothing.

Answer: C

Answer: C

3. What is the main insight suggested by the conversation in lines 69--83?

A. The Curley family cries to manipulate Mrs. Sennett into doing what they want. B. The narrator regrets that she is not going to Boston and is a little jealous of Mrs.

Sennett. C. Mrs. Sennett is happy to leave the Curley family because they are always whining

and crying. D. Mrs. Sennett intends to return to the Cape soon because she has discovered that

they have been manipulating and taking advantage of her.

Answer: A

4. Given the evidence provided throughout the passage, the children probably silently mouth the word "no" because:

A. Mrs. Sennett has just called them bad, noisy children, and they are defending themselves.

B. they do not want to leave the Cape before the summer is over and are protesting. C. they are letting the narrator know that Mrs. Sennett is thinking about returning to

the Cape. D. they are continuing their battle against Mrs. Sennett's intention to return to the

Cape.

Answer: D

5. At what point does Mr. Curley cry at the supper table?

A. Before Mary and the narrator sit and watch the sunset B. Before Mrs. Sennett tells the narrator she doubts she will stay another winter with

the children C. Before the children spend a rainy afternoon playing house in the dining room D. After the narrator learns that Mrs. Sennett will return to Boston

Answer: A


From the 197 million square miles, which make up the surface of the globe, 71 per cent is covered by the interconnecting bodies of marine water; the Pacific Ocean alone covers half the Earth and averages near 14,000 feet in depth. The portions which rise above sea level are the continents-Eurasia, Africa; North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. The submerged borders of the continental masses are the continental shelves, beyond which lie the deep-sea basins.

The ocean are deepest not in the center but in some elongated furrows, or long narrow troughs, called deeps. These profound troughs have a peripheral arrangement, notably around the borders of the pacific and Indian oceans. The position of the deeps, like the highest mountains, are of recent origin, since otherwise they would have been filled with waste from the lands. This is further strengthened by the observation that the deeps are quite often, where world-shaking earthquakes occur. To cite an example, the "tidal wave" that in April, 1946, caused widespread destruction along Pacific coasts resulted from a strong earthquake on the floor of the Aleutian Deep.

The topography of the ocean floors is none too well known, since in great areas the available soundings are hundreds or even thousands of miles apart. However, the floor of the Atlantic is becoming fairly well known as a result of special surveys since 1920. A broad, well-defined ridge-the Mid-Atlantic ridge-runs north and south between Africa and the two Americas and numerous other major irregularities diversify the Atlantic floor. Closely spaced soundings show that many parts of the oceanic floors are as rugged as mountainous regions of the continents. Use of the recently perfected method of submarine topography. During world war II great strides were made in mapping submarine surfaces, particularly in many parts of the vast Pacific basin.

Most of the continents stand on an average of 2870 feet above sea level. North America averages 2300 feet; Europe averages only 1150 feet; and Asia, the highest of the larger continental subdivisions, averages 3200 feet. Mount Everest, which is the highest point in the globe, is 29,000 feet above the sea; and as the greatest known depth in the sea is over 35,000 feet, the maximum relief (that is, the difference in altitude between the lowest and highest points) exceeds 64,000 feet, or exceeds 12 miles. The continental masses and the deep-sea basins are relief features of the first order; the deeps, ridges, and volcanic cones


that diversify the sea floor, as well as the plains, plateaus, and mountains of the continents, are relief features of the second order. The lands are unendingly subject to a complex of activities summarized in the term erosion, which first sculptures them in great detail and then tends to reduce them ultimately to sea level. The modeling of the landscape by weather, running water, and other agents is apparent to the keenly observant eye and causes thinking people to speculate on what must be the final result of the ceaseless wearing down of the lands. Much before there was any recognizable science as geology, Shakespeare wrote "the revolution of the times makes mountains level."

For a period of more than two centuries paleontologists 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 class of birds. In pterosaurs a greatly elongated fourth finger of each forelimb supported a winglike membrane. The other fingers were short and reptilian, with 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 in an extended inverted V- shape along each side of the animal's body.

In 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 paleontologists are of the opinion that the pterosaurs jumped from s dropped from trees or perhaps rose into the light winds from the crests of waves in order to become airborne. Each theory has its associated difficulties. The first makes a wrong assumption that the pterosaurs hind feet resembled a bat's and could serve as hooks by which the animal could hang in preparation for flight. The second hypothesis seems unlikely because large pterosaurs could not have landed in trees without damaging their wings. The third calls for high aces to channel updrafts. The pterosaurs would have been unable to control their flight once airborne as the wind from which such waves arose would have been too strong.

1. As seen in the above passage scientists generally agree that: A. the pterosaurs could fly over large distances because of their large

wingspan. B. a close evolutionary relationship can be seen between the pterosaurs and

bats, when the structure of their skeletons is studied. C. the study of the fossilized remains of the pterosaurs reveals how they

solved the problem associated with powered flight D. the pterosaurs were reptiles E. Pterosaurs walked on all fours.

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 neighborhood 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 author Laurence Yep did return to his father's garden in

his memories. In 1991 he published The Lost Garden an autobiography in which he tells

of growing up in San Francisco and of coming to use his writing to celebrate his family

and his ethnic heritage.

######################3APTITUDE TEST





Outside, the rain continued to run down the screened windows of Mrs. Sennett's little Cape Cod cottage. The long weeds and grass that composed the front yard 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 dining room. (In the wintertime, Mrs. Sennett was housekeeper for a Mr. Curley, in 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 beginning of her getting up out of her chair. I shook my head no, and gave her a little push on the shoulder to keep her seated. Mrs. Sennett was almost stone-deaf 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. 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-inch-square 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 blue ink, in a large, serene, ornamented hand, on linen-finish paper:. . . 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 backas 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 their puckered-up mouthsFollowing are some questions on this passage: 1. According to the narrator, Mrs. Sennett wears a hat because she:

A. is often outside. B. wants to look like a literary figure. C. has thin hair. D. has unique taste in clothing.

Answer: C

2. Considering the events of the entire passage, it is most reasonable to infer that Mrs. Sennett calls the children bad because she:

A. is bothered by the noise they are making. B. doesn't like them hanging on her skirt. C. doesn't want to reveal her affection for them. D. is angry that they never do what she tells them.

Answer: C

3. What is the main insight suggested by the conversation in lines 69--83?

A. The Curley family cries to manipulate Mrs. Sennett into doing what they want. B. The narrator regrets that she is not going to Boston and is a little jealous of Mrs.

Sennett. C. Mrs. Sennett is happy to leave the Curley family because they are always whining

and crying. D. Mrs. Sennett intends to return to the Cape soon because she has discovered that

they have been manipulating and taking advantage of her.

Answer: A

4. Given the evidence provided throughout the passage, the children probably silently mouth the word "no" because:

A. Mrs. Sennett has just called them bad, noisy children, and they are defending themselves.

B. they do not want to leave the Cape before the summer is over and are protesting. C. they are letting the narrator know that Mrs. Sennett is thinking about returning to

the Cape.

D. they are continuing their battle against Mrs. Sennett's intention to return to the Cape.

Answer: D

5. At what point does Mr. Curley cry at the supper table?

A. Before Mary and the narrator sit and watch the sunset B. Before Mrs. Sennett tells the narrator she doubts she will stay another winter with

the children C. Before the children spend a rainy afternoon playing house in the dining room D. After the narrator learns that Mrs. Sennett will return to Boston

Answer: A


From the 197 million square miles, which make up the surface of the globe, 71 per cent is covered by the interconnecting bodies of marine water; the Pacific Ocean alone covers half the Earth and averages near 14,000 feet in depth. The portions which rise above sea level are the continents-Eurasia, Africa; North America, South America, Australia, and Antarctica. The submerged borders of the continental masses are the continental shelves, beyond which lie the deep-sea basins.

The ocean are deepest not in the center but in some elongated furrows, or long narrow troughs, called deeps. These profound troughs have a peripheral arrangement, notably around the borders of the pacific and Indian oceans. The position of the deeps, like the highest mountains, are of recent origin, since otherwise they would have been filled with waste from the lands. This is further strengthened by the observation that the deeps are quite often, where world-shaking earthquakes occur. To cite an example, the "tidal wave" that in April, 1946, caused widespread destruction along Pacific coasts resulted from a strong earthquake on the floor of the Aleutian Deep.

The topography of the ocean floors is none too well known, since in great areas the available soundings are hundreds or even thousands of miles apart. However, the floor of the Atlantic is becoming fairly well known as a result of special surveys since 1920. A broad, well-defined ridge-the Mid-Atlantic ridge-runs north and south between Africa and the two Americas and numerous other major irregularities diversify the Atlantic floor. Closely spaced soundings show that many parts of the oceanic floors are as rugged as mountainous regions of the continents. Use of the recently perfected method of submarine topography. During world war II great strides were made in mapping submarine surfaces, particularly in many parts of the vast Pacific basin.

Most of the continents stand on an average of 2870 feet above sea level. North America averages 2300 feet; Europe averages only 1150 feet; and Asia, the highest of the larger


continental subdivisions, averages 3200 feet. Mount Everest, which is the highest point in the globe, is 29,000 feet above the sea; and as the greatest known depth in the sea is over 35,000 feet, the maximum relief (that is, the difference in altitude between the lowest and highest points) exceeds 64,000 feet, or exceeds 12 miles. The continental masses and the deep-sea basins are relief features of the first order; the deeps, ridges, and volcanic cones that diversify the sea floor, as well as the plains, plateaus, and mountains of the continents, are relief features of the second order. The lands are unendingly subject to a complex of activities summarized in the term erosion, which first sculptures them in great detail and then tends to reduce them ultimately to sea level. The modeling of the landscape by weather, running water, and other agents is apparent to the keenly observant eye and causes thinking people to speculate on what must be the final result of the ceaseless wearing down of the lands. Much before there was any recognizable science as geology, Shakespeare wrote "the revolution of the times makes mountains level."

6. The peripheral furrows or deeps are found

Few areas of neuron behavioral research seemed more promising is the early sixties than that investigating the relationship between protein synthesis and learning. The conceptual framework for the research was derived directly from molecular biology, which had shown that genetic information is stored in nucleic acids and expressed in proteins why not acquired information as well.

The first step towards establishing a connection between protein synthesis and learning seemed to be to block memory (cause adhesion) by interrupting the production of proteins. We were fortunate in finding a non lethal dosage of puromycin that could, it first appealed, thoroughly inhibit brain protein synthesis as well as reliability produce amnesia.

Before the actual connection between protein synthesis and learning could be established however we began to have douche about whether inhibition of protein synthesis was in fact the method by which puromycin produced amnesia. First, ocher drugs, glutavimides themselves potent protein synthesis inhibitors either failed to cause amnesia in some situations where it could easily be induced by puromycin or produced an amnesia with a different time course from that of puromycin. Second, puromycin was found to inhabit protein synthesis by breaking certain amino acid chaim, and the resulting fragments were suspected of being the actual cause of amnesia is some eases. Third, puromycin was reported to cause abnormalities in the train, including seizures. Thus, not only were decreased protein synthesis and amnesia dissociated, but alternative mechanism for the amnestic action of puromycin were readily suggested.

So, puromycin turned out to be a disappointment. It came to be regarded as a poor agent for amnesia studies, although, of course, it was poor only in the context of our original paradigm of protein synthesis inhibition. In our frustration, our initial response was simply to change dregs rather than our conceptual orientation. After many such disappointments, however, it now appears unlikely, that we will make a firm connection between protein synthesis and learning merely by pursuing the approaches of the past our experience with drugs has shown that all the amnestic agents, often interfere with memory in ways that seem unrelated to their inhibition of protein synthesis. More importantly, the notion that the interruption or intensification of protein production in the train can be related in cause and affect fashion to learning non seems simplistic and unproductive. Remove the battery from a car and the car will not go Drive the car a long distance at high speed and the battery will become more highly charged. Neither of these facts proves that the battery power the car, only knowledge of the overall automotive system will reveal it mechanism of locomotion and the role of the battery with in the system.

1. The primary purpose a the passage is to show that extensive experimentation has A. Mot supported the hypothesis that learning is directly dependent on protein

synthesis


B. Cast doubt on the value of puromycin in the newer behavioral study of learning C. Revealed the importance of amnesia in the neuron behavioral study of learning D. Demonstrated the importance of amino acid fragmentation in the induction of

amnesia. E. Not yet demonstrated the applicability of molecular biology to behavioral research.

Ans : A

2. According to the passage, neuron behaviorists initially based their belief that protein synthesis was related to learning on which of the following?

A. Specific research into learning on which of the following B. Traditional theories about learning C. Historic experiments on the effects puromycin D. Previous discoveries in molecular biology E. Now technique in protein synthesis.

Ans : D

3. This passage was most likely excepted from A. A book review in a leading journal devoted to genetic research. B. A diary kept by a practicing neuron behavioral research C. An article summarizing a series of scientific investigations in neuron behavioral

research. D. A news paper article on recent advances in the biochemistry of learning E. A technical article on experimental techniques in the field of molecular biology.

Ans : C

4. It can be inferred from the passage that after puromycin was perceived to be a disappointment, researches did which of the following?

A. They continued to experiment with puromycin until a neuron anatomical framework was developed.

B. They continued to experiment with puromycin, but also tried other protein synthesis inhibitors

C. They ceased to experiment with puromycin and shifted to other promising protein synthesis inhibitors.

D. They ceased to experiment with puromycin and reexamined through experiments the relationship between genetic information and acquired information.

E. They continued to experiment with puromycin, but applied their results to other facts of memory research.

Ans : C




5. In the example of the car the battery is meant to represent which of the following elements in the neuron behavioral research program?

A. glutarimides B. acquired information C. puromycin D. amnesia E. protein synthesis


MARK HUGHES is a master of the fine art of survival. His Los Angeles-based Herbalife International Inc. is a pyramid outfit that peddles weight-loss and nutrition concoctions of dubious value. Bad publicity and regulatory crackdowns hurt his U.S. business in the late 1980s. But Hughes, 41, continues to enjoy a luxurious lifestyle in a $20 million Beverly Hills mansion. He has been sharing the pad and a yacht with his third wife, a former Miss Petite U.S.A. He can finance this lavish lifestyle just on his salary and bonus, which last year came to $7.3 million.

He survived his troubles in the U.S. by moving overseas, where regulators are less zealous and consumers even more naive, at least initially. Today 77% of Herbalife retail sales derive from overseas. Its new prowling grounds: Asia and Russia. Last year Herbalife's net earnings doubled, to $45 million, on net sales of $632 million. Based on Herbalife's Nasdaq-traded stock, the company has a market capitalization of $790 million, making Hughes 58% worth $454 million.

There's a worm, though, in Hughes apple. Foreigners aren't stupid. In the end they know when they've been had. In France, for instance, retail sales rose to $97 million by 1993 and then plunged to $12 million last year. In Germany sales hit $159 million in 1994 and have since dropped to $54 million.

Perhaps aware that the world may not provide an infinite supply of suckers, Hughes wanted to unload some of his shares. But in March, after Herbalife's stock collapsed, he put off a plan to dump about a third of his holdings on the public.

Contributing to Hughes' woes, Herbalife's chief counsel and legal attack dog, David Addis, quit in January. Before packing up, he reportedly bellowed at Hughes, "I can't protect you anymore." Addis, who says he wants to spend more time with his family, chuckles and claims attorney-client privilege.

Trouble on the home front, too. On a recent conference call with distributors, Hughes revealed he's divorcing his wife, Suzan, whose beaming and perky image adorns much of Herbalife's literature.


http://www.bestsamplequestions.com/gre-questions/reading-comprehension/reading-comprehension-18.html

Meanwhile, in a lawsuit that's been quietly moving through Arizona's Superior Court, former Herbalife distributor Daniel Fallow of Sandpoint, Idaho charges that Herbalife arbitrarily withholds payment to distributors and marks up its products over seven times the cost of manufacturing. Fallow also claims Hughes wanted to use the Russian mafia to gain entry to that nation's market.

Fallow himself is no angel, but his lawsuit, which was posted on the Internet, brought out other complaints. Randy Cox of Lewiston, Idaho says Herbalife "destroyed my business" after he and his wife complained to the company that they were being cheated out of their money by higher-ups in the pyramid organization.

According to Albert Einstein the non mathematician, is seized by a mysterious shuddering when he hears of 'four-dimensional' things, he is seized by a feeling, which is very similar to the thoughts awakened by the occult. And at the same time the statement that the world in which we live is a four-dimensional space - time continuum is quite a common place statement.

This might lead to an argument regarding the use of the term ''commonplace'' by Einstein. Yet the difficulty lies more in the wording than the ideas. Einstein's concept of the universe as a four-dimensional space-time continuum becomes plain and clear, when what he means by ''continuum'' becomes clear. A continuum is something that is continuous, A ruler, for example, is a one-dimensional space continuum. Most rulers are divided into inches and frWASLions, scaled down to one-sixteenth of an inch.

Will it be possible to conceive a ruler, which is calibrated to a millionth or billionth of an inch. In theory there is no reason why the steps from point to point should not be even smaller. What distinguishes a continuum is the fWASL that the space between any two points can be sub-divided into an infinite number of smaller divisions.

A railroad track is a one-dimensional space continuum and on it the engineer of a train can describe his position at any time by citing a single co-ordinate point - i.e., a station or a milestone. A sea captain, however, has to worry about two dimensions. The surface of the sea is a two-dimensional continuum and the co-ordinate points by which sailor fixes his positions in his two dimensional continuum are latitude and longitude. An airplane pilot guides his plane through a three - dimensional continuum, hence he has to consider not only latitude and longitude, but also his height above the ground. The continuum of an airplane pilot constitutes space as we perceive it. In other words, the space of our world is a three-dimensional continuum.

Just indicating its position in space is not enough while describing any physical event, which involves motion. How position changes in time also needs to be mentioned. Thus to give an accurate picture of the operation of a New York - Chicago express, one must mention not only that it goes from New - York to Albany to Syracuse to Cleveland to Toledo to Chicago, but also the times at which it touches each of those points. This can be done either by means of a timetable or a visual chart. If the miles between New York and Chicago are plotted horizontally on a piece of ruled paper and the hours and minutes are plotted vertically, then a diagonal line properly drawn across the page illustrates the progress of the train in two - dimensional space - time continuum. This type of graphic representation is familiar to most newspaper readers; a stock market chart, for example, pictures financial events in a two - dimensional dollar - time continuum. Similarly for the best picturisation of the flight of an airplane from New York to Los Angeles a four - dimensional space - time continuum is essential. The latitude, longitude and altitude will only make sense to the traffic manager of the airline if the time co - ordinate is also mentioned. Therefore time is the fourth dimension. If a flight has to be looked at, perceived as a whole, it wouldn't work if it is broken down into a series of disconnected take - offs, climbs, glides, and landing, it needs to be looked at and perceived as a continuous four - dimensional space - time continuum curve.


6. The significant feature of a continuum, according to the passage, revolves around

The establishment of the third Reich influenced events in American history by starting a chain of events which culminated in war between Germany and the United States. The complete destruction of democracy, the persecution of laws, the war on religion, the cruelty and barrbarism of the Nazis and especially, the plans of Germany and her allies,

Italy and Japan, for world conquest caused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war. While speaking out against Hitler's atrocities, the American profile generally favored isolationist policies, and neutrality. The neutrality acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them. In 1937 the president was empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion

American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt's quarantine the aggressor speech at Chicago (1937) in which he severely criticized Hitler's policies. Germany's seizure of Austria and Munich pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia (1938) also around the American people. The conquest of Czechoslovakia in March 1939 was another rude awakening to the menace of the third Reich. In August, 1939, came 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 (1940) authorized the president to sell, exchange or lend materials to any county deemed necessary by him for the defense of the United States. Help was given to Britain territory in the western Hemisphere. In August 1941, President Roosevelt and prime minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war. In December 1941, Japan launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl harbor, immediately thereafter Germany declared war on the united states.

Directions for Questions 6-10: Read the passage and answer the questions that follow on the basis of the information provided in the passage

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 exposure to alcohol are said to be suffering from fetal alcohol syndrome. As a pregnant woman drinks alcohol, the alcohol is passed into her her bloodstream almost simultaneously. Moreover, because thebloodstream of the fetus is 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 generally exhibit facial distortion, inability to concentrate, and difficulty in remembering. Simply speaking, it is imperative that pregnant women avoid alcohol.





6. How much time can it be inferred that it takes alcohol to enter a woman's bloodstream after she takes a drink?

A. about one hour B. a few seconds C. several minutes D. at least 24 hours

Ans: B

7. According to the passage, how does the concentration of alcohol in a fetus compare to that in the mother?

A. The concentration is more. B. The concentration is less. C. The concentration is equivalent. D. The concentration cannot be measured.

Ans: C

8. It can be inferred that the development of a fetal liver depends on

A. how many months pregnant the mother is B. how much alcohol the mother has consumed C. how large the fetus is D. how well the mother has taken care of the fetus

Answer: A

9. According to the passage, how is alcohol finally returned to the mother's system?

A. it is carried through the bloodstream B. it is transferred across the placenta C. it is expelled by the fetus's liver D. it is not completely returned

Ans: B

10. Which one of the following was NOT mentioned as a sign of fetal alcohol syndrome?

A. disfigurement of the face B. concentration difficulties C. increased aggression



D. memory problems

There are 729 cubes and from the edges the 1st, 3'd,5th , i h and 9th pieces are removed and the remaining are painted in black. 1) Find the number not coloured black 2) Find the number with 2 sides Black 3) Find the number with 1 side black 4) Find the number with 3 sides black 5) Find the number with more than 3 sides black

First answer the last question its Zero since none can be colored with more than 3 sides.

Logic: 729 cubes means 9 X 9 X 9 cubes, so there are a total of B cuts on each perpendicular plane. Now on each plane you are removing the 1st,3rd,5th,7th and 9th.Just add on each side and remember the 1st and 9th will be same for two adjacent edges and now start counting.

Hi, I m UmaSudha final year B.E C.S.E from P.R.Engineering College.Thanjore.I m very happy to say tat I m selected in COGNIZANT (Passion to make Difference) It was the Anna University OFF CAMPUS (TNSLPP)…. 65 COLLEGES PARTICIPATED. Total attended = 1,333Cleared Written = 238Selected = 28(15 boys 13 girls) It was a shock that they selected only 28 from 1,333 and I’m really happy tat I am one among that few. Two Rounds: 1.Written test.2.Interview. (Tech n HR) The Merit Track conducted the test. It was organized perfectly and they expect discipline from us.. Before the test u have to fill a form. Do it carefully because some of my friends got questions 4m tat.1.Software Orientation:2.Hobbies and extra-curricular activities3.Strengths and Weakness4.Expectation from CTS5.Why CTS6. Long term and short-term goal with CTS7.What are the qualities necessary for software professional to be successful WRITTEN TEST (3 sections) NO –VE MARKING 1.Analytical Ability (25 Q, 30 Minutes)Venn diagram questionsData sufficiencycoding 1 represented as $ and 0 as *(easy.. jus convert it into Binary)Cubes related questions are very important My suggestion is do Coding First. Then Venn dig. Cube problem n others..u can surely score full marks fm coding n venn dig…cube is also easy when u understand it.For cube take the cubic root of the no of pieces.64 means 4(keep as x value)..then 2 side painted

means 12*(x-2).1side painted means 6*(x-2) 2 . (horizontal n vertical) like wise u must think n apply according to the question.. 1.venn dig- people hving dif heights 6feet ,6’6 feet, 5’5 feet.and questions like no of people who is 6 feet.no of people who is 5’5feet….. 2.In codin there will be only normal arithmetic operations n L.c.m..i don remember them. For ex..64/4= 16 = $****.first solve it n convert it to binary.. 3.Cube- a cube of 12 cm is cut into small 3cm pieces..then place another 4 small cubes over it..and another 2 small cubes over the 4cubes..then again one more cube over the 2 cube…the cube is then painted from top to bottom 12/3=4…so 4row 4column…draw a dig of cube first. Imagining the cube only help u to solve rather than formulas. How many cubes r painted on only one side? how many cubes r painted on only 2 sides? how many cubes r painted on only 3 sides? how many cubes r painted on only 4 sides? how many cubes r painted 0 sides? (my friends told me tat cube problems hav more marks than other questions) 2.Verbal Ability (20 Q, 20 Min) Comprehension Find out the incorrect sentenceFind out the correct sentenceJumbled Passages-Don prepare any thing for this ..It won help u..Jumbled sent n correct incorrect sent are a little confusing..it depends on ur grammer n English language skills. do the comprehension last(it is a very big passage..i didn’t even read it ,jus ticked..no time) 3.Attention Details (20 Q, 20 Min) Find the odd man outAnalogy of figures (Simple)syllogism Puzzle Very easy compared to other sections..any one can crack it with out any preparation..If u think to prepare jus go through puzzle test n syllogism from R.S.Agarwal Verbal reasoning Analogy of figures –Non verbal Reasoning Interview: Next Day My interview was at 4 .00 p.m.I was really exhausted at tat time in waiting from morning. 9 panels (approx 25 each).

(I. apply 25 &34 successively)

(II. Apply 34 & 16 successively)

III. Apply 16 &16 successively)

(IV. Apply 25&25 successively) etc…….

Another question …

I. BAABBA CAME FROM APPLICATION OF

Choice 1. 34 & 25 succesively.



Choice 4. 34 & 25 succesively

Answer and hint

1. If two conditions are being applied simultaneously the you will get same

answer.e.g….suppose

2. F(n,a,b,c) = AC if n=1

F(n,A,B,C) = F(n-1,A,C,B)+ F(1,A,B,C) + F(n-1,B,A,C)

This is the question.

i. find F(2,B,A,C) = F( 1,b,c,a)+ F(1,b,a,c)+F(1,a,b,c) =ba+bc+ac

ii. Find F(2,C,A,B) = F( 1, c,b, a)+ F(1, c,a,b)+F(1,a,c,b) =ca+cb+ab

(one imp. Point ca not = bc); (ca+cb+ab) is not = (ab+cb+ca)

iii. F(4,a,b,c) = ?= F(3,a,c,b) +F(1,a,b,c) +F(3,b,a,c)

F(3,a,c,b) = F(2,a,b,c) + F(1,a,c,b) +F(2,c,a,b)

F(2,a,b,c) = F(1,a,c,b) +F(1,a,b,c) +F(1,b,a,c)

So ab+Ac+bc = 3.

f(2,a,b,c) =3 ;f (3,a,b,c) = 3+1+3 = 7, f(4,a,bc,)= 7+1+7=15

Like this find f(5,a,b,c)= ?=( ans =31 pl. check)
