Slide 3: The safer , easier way to help you pass any IT exams. 1.Read the following passagE. A team of researchers at Harvard have built some unusual contraptions that carve off slivers of mouse brains as part of a quest to understand how the mind works. Their goal is to run slice after minuscule slice under a powerful electron microscope, develop detailed pictures of the brain's complex wiring and then stitch the images back together. In short, they want to build a full map of the mind. The field, at a very nascent stage, is called connectomics, and the neuroscientists pursuing it compare their work to early efforts in genetics. What they are doing, these scientists say, is akin to trying to crack the human genome only this time around, they want to find how memories, personality traits and skills are stored. They want to find a connectome, or the mental makeup of a person Since the 1970s, researchers have only had one connectome to play with that of a worm with a measly 300 neurons. Now they are trying a mouse brain, with its 100 million neurons. So far the notion of creating a human-scale connectome which would illuminate all of the connections among more than 100 billion neurons and unravel the millions of miles of wires in the brain has proved too daunting. The task at hand is somewhat similar to trying to untangle a bowl of spaghetti. Each individual spaghetti strand may touch tens of other strands as it weaves in a contorted fashion through the bowl. In this case, the researchers want to do the equivalent of seeing where all the strands connect at the atom level. And because the brain's wiring is so densely packed, building a connectome stands as one of the most formidable data collection efforts ever concocted. About one petabyte of computer memory will be needed to store the images needed to form a picture of a one-millimeter cube of mouse brain, the scientists say Neuroscientists say that a connectome could give them myriad insights about the brain's function and prove particularly useful in the exploration of mental illness. For the first time, researchers and doctors might be able to determine how someone was wired quite literally and compare that picture with "regular" brains. Surgeons armed with a connectome might also be able to make more calculated cuts in the brain -The passage is taken from an article by ASHLEE VANCE (The New York Times); dated - December 27, 2010 Which of the following statements defines connectomics? A. Connecting the nerves with the brain. B. Connecting the various parts of body with the brain. C. Disconnecting the nerves from the brain. D. Connecting the detailed images of the brain together.

Over the last two years, it has been widely reported that small businesses create more jobs than big businesses and thus are critical to the recovery. It has also been widely reported that small businesses are getting squeezed by the credit freeze, by skyrocketing costs like health and unemployment insurance, and by cheap imports, to name a few examples. So, if you own a small business, is the deck stacked against you? Can you overcome all of the obstacles? Is it harder than it used to be to start a business? Is it going to continue to get harder? Are the banks going to loosen up? Is the "recovery" ever going to reach small businesses the way it has big businesses? Which is it: Are small businesses going to be saviors or victims? Both. The small businesses that succeed will need to do more than just hope. And they will need to do more than just complain about the government and wait for it to solve all problems. The real answer is to cope. It's always been that way. A successful entrepreneur copes with whatever problems come along, and there are sure to be plenty of them. Business ownership requires the wearing of many hats, which is part of the reason the failure rate for start-ups is high (about half survive for five years). To thrive, you have to understand accounting, finance, marketing, and management. It's probably not enough to be great at just one or even two of those categories Entrepreneurship has certainly gotten more complicated. In some ways technology has helped, and in other ways it has only added to the list of things we need to know, the hats we need to wear. The government is working through the Small Business Administration to free up more money, and some of the tax incentives are beneficial. I can also report that entrepreneurs have infinitely more resources at their disposal than when I started my business in 1978. Then, the word entrepreneur was rarely used, and when it was used, it tended to be in a negative way, like referring to the guy on the street corner selling watches on his arm. These days, many colleges have entrepreneurship programs that were unheard of 30 years ago. -The passage is taken from an article by JAY GOLTZ (The New York Times); dated - December 29, 2010 Which of the following is true to succeed in a small scale business? A. Cope and not hope B. Hope and not cope C. Complain to the government D. Hope and cope E. Wait for the government to help 3 / 10

Since bureaucracies do not like to give their clients a choice, the issue has aroused controversy. The concept of choice within the public school system has been endorsed by the National Governors' Association. The governors, in their report ''Time for Results,'' cited several states that had adopted the concept. Albert Shanker, president of the American Federation of Teachers, has saiD. ''A professional must be 5 / 10
Slide 7: The safer , easier way to help you pass any IT exams. seen to be acting in the interest of the client. But most clients choose the professionals they see - a doctor, a lawyer, an accountant. Children are the only clients who are perceived as the captives of the professionals who deal with them, captives of a given school and teacher.'' Many educators reject this argument. In part, the opposition stems from the fact that large systems simply do not favor any arrangement that looks like a breakup of an established structure. Registering children according to a school's attendance area is simpler than having pupils scattered beyond those boundaries. Another obstacle is the fear of competition. If parents vote with their children's feet, some schools could be known as more desirable than others. Some school administrators argue, not without reason, that some schools will be left with an excessive number of less able, harder-to educate and possibly disruptive students. Others worry that, by manipulating admissions procedures, alternative schools could re-create racial segregation. Yet some schools of choice have had the opposite effect: Black and white parents who might otherwise oppose busing have sent their children to distant schools with attractive offerings. - The passage is taken from an article by FRED M. HECHINGER (The New York Times); dated - October 7, 1986 According to the above passage, all of the following options are correct EXCEPT: A. Competition may arise due to the new proposed scheme. B. Many educators reject the argument of parents having to choose the school of their childre n. C. The new scheme has both merits and demerits. D. Registering children according to a school's attendance area is simpler than having pupils scattered beyond those boundaries. E. Public education gladly proposes the scheme to let parents choose the school of their childr en. Answer: E 13.Read the following passagE.

Slide 9: The safer , easier way to help you pass any IT exams. Answer: B 17.Read the following passagE. This small city up the hill from the Erie Canal is known for manufacturing paper and tea, for rooting on its Mounties at high school football games, for deposits of quartz that glint like diamonds and for the Victorian mansion that houses its 100-year-old library. And now it's also known locally as the place where the library director took a stand or started a fuss, depending on your point of view when the library board started selling historical items from its collection. A 13-star flag and an invitation to Abraham Lincoln's inaugural ball should never have been put up for auction, argued the director, Marietta Phillips. And she was also bothered, she said, that trustees sometimes took artifacts home, for good reason, perhaps, but without anyone's bothering to note it on her sign-out sheet at the circulation desk. "You can't get your history back," she said. "People don't realizE. once it's gone, it's gone." So Ms. Phillips, 42, this fall did what lots of people contemplate but few actually do she quit. Then she wrote a letter in the local paper telling this town about 20 miles southeast of Utica just why she was leaving and how fast and loose she thought the board had been with its artifacts. "Apparently, the board of trustees decided these items were not historically significant to the area and voted to have them sold at auction," she wrote. "I have resigned from my position and accept the responsibility for the significant loss of historical material." Deaccessioning is the kind of word that makes eyes glaze over and can seem to be the preserve of dusty intellectuals and large museums. But it's just a fancy name for the sale or giving away of art and artifacts by museums and other cultural organizations, and the dust-up here in this city of about 5,000 demonstrates that such debates occur in all kinds of places, big and small, where people feel protective about materials in their care. With her personal gesture of protest in late September, Ms. Phillips stepped into a growing public controversy surrounding institutions that have sold or considered selling parts of their collections, which have been entrusted to them for the public's benefit. Some say such sales can compromise collections, and others argue that museums, libraries and historical societies have to cull their collections periodically, particularly if there is pressure to pay their bills. What is the meaning of the expression "did what lots of people contemplate but few actually do"? A. Did nothing unusual B. Did something usual C. Did what others said but did not do D. Did what others did not say and do E. Did what others said and did Answer: C 18.Read the following passagE. "Although I've always believed that we have never even explored the educational potential of the extended vacation period, I smile when I think of the lobbyists our legislators will have to fend off if they intend to hold school in July or August. The American Camping Association, the Travel Agents of America, the hotel industry and summer resorts of all types would vehemently oppose any idea that translates into a summer business loss. This does not mean I'd abandon the challenge of enriching your child's education this summer. Throughout life there is a commonsense reality to which I subscribe. Simply put, it 8 / 10

Just as we all accept that mom and dad were our first educators, I believe that parents should recognize that their teaching role is crucial when the school year ends." - The passage is taken from an article By ROBERT RICKEN (The New York Times); Long Island Weekly Desk, July 17, 1983, Sunday The primary purpose of the above passage is to: A. lay stress on the fact that next summer time can be utilized by parents to educate their chi ldren B. open the schools next summer C. emphasize the importance of education in life D. enlighten the importance of travel agencies and summer resorts E. enlighten the importance of family relations Answer: A 19."It's not the question of my going to New York", said the new executive officer, "only of who I should go with".

While robots have been around for decades, they've mostly been used in manufacturing jobs considered too dangerous for humans. Thanks to more advanced sensors and safety technology that can prevent them from injuring people, robots are moving beyond factories and into different types of work. As robots and workers interact more extensively, manufacturers are coping with dramatic expectations from their human counterparts and trying to moderate employees' emotional responses by building a measure of cuteness into the machines. A further challenge for would-be buyers will be cost. Robots that enable videoconferencing in the office cost thousands of dollars and it remains to be seen if companies can make the business case for buying them. Many companies are pressing ahead to place robots in unconventional settings. Safety advances make it possible for companies to use robots in warehouses to fulfill orders faster. One reason to use robots is that the robots can work in the dark, reducing carbon emissions and saving money on air-conditioning and lighting.
