What is immediately needed today is the establishment of a World Government or an International Federation of Mankind. It is the utmost necessity of the world today, and all those persons who wish to see all human beings happy and prosperous naturally feel it keenly. Of course, at times, we all feel that many of our problems of our political, social and cultural life would come to an end if there were one Government all over the world. Travelers, businessmen, seekers of knowledge and teachers of righteousness know very well that great impediments and obstructions are faced by them when they pass from one country to another, exchange goods, get information, and make an effort to spread their good gospel among their fellow-men. In the past religious sects divided one set of people against another, color of the skin or construction of the body set one against the other. But today when philosophical light has exploded the darkness that was created by religious differences, and when scientific knowledge has falsified the theory of social superiority and when modern inventions have enabled human beings of all religious views and of all races and colors to come in frequent contact with one another, it is the governments of various countries that keep people of one country apart from those of another. They create artificial barriers, unnatural distinctions, unhealthy isolation, unnecessary fears and dangers in the minds of the common men who by their nature want to live in friendship with their fellow-men. But all these evils would cease to exist if there were one Government all over the world.
Qs.4/5: What do the government of various countries do to keep people of one country apart from those of another?
AThey create artificial barriers.
BThey create unnatural distinctions.
CThey foster unhealthy isolation.
DThey create unnecessary fears and dangers in the minds of the people.
EAll of them.

As infants and caregivers respond to one another in the first year, the infant begins to form an attachment - a deep, affectionate, close, and enduring relationship - to these important figures. John Bowlby, a British psychoanalyst, drew attention to the importance of attachment when he observed the dire effects of separation from parents on children who had been orphaned during World War II. These children's depression and other emotional scars led Bowlby to propose a theory about the importance of developing a strong attachment to one's primary caregivers a tie that normally keeps infants close to these caregivers and, therefore, safe. Soon after Bowlby described his theory, researchers in the United States began to investigate how such attachments are formed and what happens when they are not formed, or when they are broken by loss or separation.
Qs.1/4: In this passage, the word dire means:

An aggressive publicist of the Scientific Revolution and one of its greatest contributors was a Florentine, Galileo, informed of a new optical instrument developed in the Netherlands, the telescope, constructed one for himself and turned it toward the heavens. Through the lens of the fantastic instrument he was the first human being to see that Jupiter and moons like the earth's, and that the earth's own moon was made of material similar to that found on earth. The momentous conclusion was that heavenly bodies wee not made of more perfect material.
Rather, they resembled the earth and were governed by the same laws. Galileo's conclusions were equally revolutionary when he turned to consider the behavior of bodies in motion. Traditional theories of dynamics, geared to the assumption that the natural state of a body was at rest, attempted to explain what caused motion to occur. For Galileo, there was no "natural" motion of the body; rather, if a body was in motion, it would continue in a straight line at the same speed forever unless deflected, quickened, or retarded by another force"illustrating the principle of inertia. Thus what concerned Galileo was not why things move but why changes in motion occur and how one describes these changes mathematically.

A thousand years ago, Korean monks made medical salts with bamboo called Chukyom. Dissolved in water, bamboo salt is still taken as a curative for stomach ailments today.Dr. Sang-Park of the Nambu Forestry Experimental Station in Chinju, South Korea, has pioneered the use of bamboo charcoal as a iltering agent for Jinro Soju, the most popular liquor in Korea, distilled in part from sweet potatoes. He is now studying bamboo sap as a potential health drink and skin moisturizer.
It's the same story of progress in Thailand, where Somyot Tasalee's factory in Mae Sot, in the northern province of Tak, makes compressed barbecue charcoal by recycling 15 tons of bamboo waste daily. The by product comes from 300 villages in surrounding provinces, where people make handicrats, chopsticks, toothpicks, and other products.
With the push to harness bamboos unique qualities on an industrial scale for new products and uses, many bamboo lovers fear old skills are being lost. But artistry still has its rewards.I see this in a courtyard in Thailand's Chon Buri province. Pradup Suskai sitting with a dozen other women, weaving ine bamboo strips into extraordinary handbags - each of which can sell for $200 in Japan. "It takes up to ten years to learn these skills" she says. So perfect is the women's work that one customer complained the handbags did not look handmade.
As the warm afternoon light kisses the feathery, nodding groves across the Wos River in Linda Garland's Bali estate, i think of the countless artists and poets captivated by bamboo's haunting timelessness. Garland, meanwhile, ponders the modern industrial future planned for bamboo while telling me there should always be room to appreciate its ancient arts and simple beauty.
