Verbal Ability
Reading Comprehension
Know the difference between aerobic and anaerobic exercises. Both should be included in the
exercise workout. An aerobic exercise is an activity designed to improve the respiratory and
circulatory systems of the body. Exercisers should do aerobic activities to develop
cardiovascular fitness. These types of activities generally do not cause one to get “out of
breath.” Usually this type of activity can be done for a long period of time without stopping.
To do aerobic exercises, warm-up with stretches, begin slowly to gradually increase heartbeat
rate and exercise at a steady, comfortable pace for 10-15 minutes. Running, swimming, and
walking are examples of aerobic activities. An anaerobic exercise is an activity done quickly
for a short period of time. The body is worked so hard that the exerciser must rest for a brief
period of time to replace oxygen or “catch his/her breath.” One must rest for a short period of
time after doing anaerobic exercises and sports. Do anaerobic exercises from 10 to 40
seconds, and then rest for 30 to 90 seconds. Repeat this process from 5 to 15 minutes.
Anaerobic exercises help build endurance for sports such as basketball, football, and soccer.

Direction (for Q.Nos. 1 - 2):
The world dismisses curiosity by calling it idle or mere idle curiosity even though curious
persons are seldom idle.Parents do their best to extinguish curiosity in their children because it
makes life difficult to be faced everyday with a string of unanswerable questions about what
makes fire hot or why grass grows. Children whose curiosity survives parental discipline are
invited to join our university. With the university, they go on asking their questions and trying to
find the answers. In the eyes of a scholar, that is what a university for. some of the questions
which the scholars ask seem to the world to be scarcely worth asking, let alone answering. they
asked questions too minute and specialised for you and me to understand without years of
explanation. If the world inquires of one of them why he wants to know the answer to a
particular question he may say especially if he is a scientist, that the answer will in some obscure
way make possible a new machine or weapon or gadget. He talks that way because he knows that
the world understands and respects utility.
But to you who are now part of the university, he will say that he wants to know the answer
simply because he does not know it, the way the mountain climber wants to climb a mountain,
simply because it is there. Similarly a historian asked by an outsider why he studies history may
come out with the argument that he has learnt to respect to report on such occasions, something
about knowledge of the past making it possible to understand the present and mould the future.
But if you really want to know why a historian studies the past, the answer is much simpler,
something happened and he would like to know what. All this does not mean that the answers
which scholars to find to their enormous consequences but these seldom form the reason for
asking the question or pursuing the answers. It is true that scholars can be put to work answering
questions for sake of the consequences as thousands are working now, for example, in search of
a cure for cancer. But this is not the primary scholars. For the consequences are usually
subordinate to the satisfication of curiosity.
