ORDER/ SEQUENCE 47. Hello. My name is Zack and I'm going to give you a few simple lessons
on how to sync Google accounts. I must warn you though; this is for newbies. If you're at all experienced at this
sort of thing, you'll probably find this tutorial a bit of a yawner.

DESCRIPTION 48. At one time or another, most of us have suffered from nightmares.
Nightmares are bad dreams that take place during the deepest level of sleep. They are usually brief and upon
waking can be remembered in detail. Night terrors, however, are a good deal more anxiety producing. During a
night terror, the sleeper experiences a feeling of total panic, and that panic may last for fifteen or twenty
minutes. During this time, the victim may scream or shout in fear. Usually, however, upon waking, the sleeper
only vaguely remembers what caused the terror.

CAUSE AND EFFECT 49. As you might already know, there is no direct intermixing of blood
between a mother and her unborn child. However, some substances—especially drugs—can still have a
powerful effect on the fetus. If, for example, the mother is addicted to morphine, heroin, or methadone, the baby
may be born with the same addiction. For that matter, even high doses of aspirin appear to have some effect on
the fetus. In at least one study, high doses of aspirin have been linked to lower IQs in infants.

PROBLEM- SOLUTION 50. Recently, many companies have been organized against child labor.
The children are made to work as daily laborers in mines, factories, motor garages, tea stalls, and shops. Many
work as servant in middle-class households. There are a few households that provide the or child servants with
adequate food and clothing. They are deprived of education and the joyous experiences of children. It is the
extreme poverty of the parents that leads the children to adopt this profession.
To solve this problem, we need, not only strict laws but also thorough economic reform to lower the poverty
line. The birth rate must be controlled irrespective of caste and religion and illiteracy should be removed.
Otherwise, the high-sounding resolutions by the leaders on Children’s Day will remain false promises.
