581. Read the passage and answer the question. The Paralympic movement began in 1948 at Stoke Mandeville Hospital in England. Dr Ludwig Guttmann, who treated soldiers with spinal injuries from the Second World War, organised an archery competition for wheelchair users on the same day as the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games. He believed that sport could help his patients recover physically and regain their self-confidence. The event grew year by year, and in 1960 the first Paralympic Games were held in Rome. Why did Dr Guttmann organise the competition?

     कHe wanted wheelchair users to join the London Olympics. खHe believed sport could help patients recover physically and regain confidence. गHe needed to raise money for the hospital. घHe was asked to do so by the Olympic organisers.

582. Read the passage and answer the question. In 1895, the German physicist Wilhelm Röntgen was experimenting with an electric current in a glass tube when he noticed that a nearby screen had begun to glow. He realised that some invisible kind of ray was passing through the black paper that covered the tube. Because he did not know what the rays were, he called them 'X-rays', using X as the symbol for something unknown. Within weeks, he had made an image of the bones in his wife's hand. In 1901 he received the first Nobel Prize in Physics for his discovery. What first made Röntgen aware of the rays?

     कAnother scientist told him about them. खThe black paper around the tube caught fire. गA screen near the tube began to glow. घHe saw the bones in his wife's hand.

     कBecause X was the first letter of his wife's name. खBecause they were the tenth kind of ray discovered. गBecause their nature was unknown to him. घBecause they formed an X shape on the screen.

584. Read the passage and answer the question. For centuries, sailors on long voyages suffered from scurvy, a disease that causes bleeding gums, extreme tiredness and, eventually, death. In 1747, a Scottish naval surgeon, James Lind, tested several possible treatments on sick sailors. Those who were given oranges and lemons recovered much faster than the others. Today we know that scurvy is caused by a lack of vitamin C, which fresh fruit and vegetables provide. Although Lind's result was clear, several decades passed before the British navy regularly supplied its sailors with citrus juice. What does the final sentence suggest about the British navy?

     कIt refused to believe that scurvy existed. खIt gave sailors citrus juice before Lind's experiment. गIt was slow to act on Lind's findings. घIt stopped long voyages because of scurvy.

586. Read the passage and answer the question. In a classic experiment published by the psychologist John Ridley Stroop in 1935, people were shown colour words printed in ink of different colours and asked to name the colour of the ink. When the word 'red' was printed in red ink, participants answered quickly. But when the word 'red' was printed in green ink, they took noticeably longer to say 'green' and made more mistakes. For skilled readers, reading is so automatic that the meaning of the word interferes with the task of naming the colour. Versions of the test are still used today to study attention. As used in the passage, what does 'interferes with' mean?

     कspeeds up खreplaces गgets in the way of घimproves

Why were participants slower when the word and the ink colour did not match?

     कThey had been told to read the words aloud. खThey did not know the names of the colours. गThe green ink was harder to see than the red ink. घAutomatically reading the word interfered with naming the colour.

588. Read the passage and answer the question. In 1993, researchers reported that college students who had listened to a Mozart sonata for ten minutes performed slightly better on a spatial reasoning task than students who had sat in silence. The improvement was small and lasted only about fifteen minutes. Nevertheless, newspapers soon announced that listening to Mozart makes people, especially babies, more intelligent, and companies began selling classical music recordings for infants. Later studies found the effect difficult to reproduce. Some researchers suggested that any music the listeners enjoyed might simply put them in a better mood and so temporarily improve their performance. What alternative explanation did some researchers suggest?

     कSilence makes people less able to concentrate. खEnjoyable music may improve mood and so performance for a short time. गStudents who listen to music are naturally more intelligent. घMozart's music contains special mathematical patterns.

How did the newspaper reports differ from the research?

     कThey claimed a general effect on intelligence, including in babies, although the study tested college students on one task. खThey reported the study accurately but in less detail. गThey said the effect lasted fifteen minutes rather than ten. घThey claimed that the study had used babies instead of students.
