SECTION A - READING (26 marks) 1. Read the passage carefully and answers the questions that follow: ao) 1. The Ig Nobel Prizes are a parody of the Nobel Prizes. They are given each year in early October for ten ‘unusual or trivial achievements in scientific research. The stated aim of the prizes is to “honour achievements that first make people laugh, and then make them think”. The awards are sometimes veiled criticism (or gentle satire), but are also used to point out that even the most absurd-sounding avenues of research can yield useful knowledge. Organized by the scientific humour magazine, Annals of Improbable Research (AIR), they are presented by a group that inchides Nobel laureates at a ceremony at Harvard University's Sanders Theatre, ‘They are followed by a set of public lectures by the winners at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. 2. The first 1g Nobels were created in 1991 by Mare Abrahams, Editor and Co-founder of the Anmals of Improbable Research. He is the master of ceremonies at all subsequent awards ceremonies. Awards were presented at that time for discoveries “that cannot, or should not be reproduced”. Ten prizes are awarded each year in many categories, including the Nobel Prize categories of Physics, Chemistry, Physiology/Medicine, Literature, and Peace, but also other categories, such as public health, engineering, biology, and interdisciplinary research. The Ig Nobel Prizes recognize gemuine achievements, with an exception of three prizes awarded in the first year to fictitious scientists Josiah Carberry, Paul DeFanti, and Thomas Kyle. 3. The awards are sometimes veiled criticism (or gentle satire), as in the two awards given for homeopathy research, prizes in “science education” to the Kansas and Colorado state boards of education for their stance regarding the teaching of evolution, and the prize awarded to Social Text after the Sokal Affair. Most often, however, they draw attention to scientific articles that have some humorous or tinexpected aspect. Examples range from the statement that black holes fulfil all the technical requirements to be the location of hell, to research on the “fiye- second nile”, a tongue-in-cheek belief that food dropped on the floor will not become contaminated ift is picked up within five seconds. In 2010. Sir Andre Geim became the first person to receive both a Nobel Prize and an individual Ig Nobel Prize. 4, The prizes are presented by genuine Nobel laureates, originally at a ceremony in a lecture hall at MIT, but now in Sanders Theatre at Harvard University. It contains a number of running jokes, including Miss Sweetie BY Li/Ciass 11/2022-23/English Core (301)Set I/Page 1 of 9Poo, alittle girl who repeatedly cries out, “Please stop, Tm bored”, in a high-pitched voice, if speakers go on too long. The awards ceremony is traditionally closed with the words: “If you didn’t win a prize ~ snd cepecialy if you did — better luck next year!” The ceremony is co-sponsored by the Harvard Computer Society, the Harvard-Radeliffe Science Fiction Association and the Harvard-Radcliffe Society of Physics Students. ‘5. Throwing paper airplanes onto the stage is a long-standing tradition atthe Iz Nobels. In past years, Physics professor Roy Glauber swept the stage clean of the airplanes as the official “Keeper ofthe Broom” for years, Glauber could not attend the 2005 awards because he was travelling to Stockholm to claim a genuine Nobel Prize in Physics. Delegates from the Museum of Bad Art are often on hand to display some pieces from their collection too. 6. The ceremony is recorded and broadcast on National Public Radio and is shown live over the internet. The recording is broadcast every year, on the Friday after U.S. Thanksgiving, on the public radio program, Science Friday, In recognition of this, the audience chants the first name of the radio show's host, Ira Flatow.

The awards are followed by a set of public lectures by the winners at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Il. Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: ® 1. Advertising and promotion are essential elements of our total economic and social systems. All over the ‘world, the large multinational corporations to medium and even small-firms recognize that there is no better altemative than promotion to communicate with consumers and promote them to purchase their products or services. Advertising directly exers its influence on our lives, altering our thoughts and choices. So, no trade is ever imagined without promotional activities. 2. We have today different mediums of advertising that is through television, radio, hoarding, press advertisements, glow signs and leaflets. Amongst these, celebrity advertising is hard to ignore. Celebrity advertisement drives the sales of many products. They like to be in the public and seek attention through product endorsement and hence, enhance a brand. We, therefore, find firms hiring various techniques like Gistinctive advertising and other marketing gimmicks for making their advertisements stand out and get noticed. 3. When companies launch new products or increase their market share, they compete to be in the eyes of the consumers through endorsement. Be it in the brand of tea we drink, the bikes or cars we ride, the clothes and shoes we wear and many other products that we use or consume are endorsed and then they dominate the ‘market and appeal to the consumers” attention. Thus, advertising has become the lifeblood of business. Products not endorsed, remain neglected and buyers turn their ignorant eyes for such products. Endorsement of products creates top of the mind awareness in the customer. 4. No wonder why developed countries spend more money on advertising. Even in India, many MNCs spend crores of rupees on advertising their goods and services. The only hitch is that excessive advertising is distracting and at times irritating particularly when itis superimposed and becomes a nuisance. There is a need for enforcing some discipline in it by involving marketing ethics to prevent this powerful medium of degradation, [BT 1/Class 13/2022.23/Engtish Core (301)/Set THPage 3 of 9Growth of The Indian Ad Industry (in rupees crore) 12.4% 10.8% 10.9%, 70,343 51,851 Based on your understanding of the passage, answer the following questions.

Read the passage carefully and answer the questions that follow: ® 1. Colour Therapy is a complementary therapy for which there is evidence dating back thousands of years to the ancient cultures of Egypt, China and India. If we define it in simple terms, colour is a light of varying ‘wavelengths, thus each colour has its own particular wavelength and energy. 2. Colours contribute to energy. This energy may be motivational and encouraging. Each of the seven colours of the spectrum is associated with energy. The energy relating to each of the seven spectrum colours of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet, resonates with the energy of each of the seven main chakras/energy centres of the body. Colour therapy can help to re-balance and/or stirmulate these energies by applying the appropriate colour to the body. 3. Red relates to the base chakra, orange the sacral chakra, yellow the solar plexus chakra, green the heart chakra, blue the throat chakra, indigo the brow chakra (sometimes referred to as the third eye) and violet relates to the crown chakra. 4, Colour is absorbed by the eyes, skin, skull, our ‘magnetic energy field’ or aura and the energy of colour affects us on all levels, that is to say, physical, spiritual and emotional. Every cell in the body needs light ‘energy ~ thus colour energy has widespread effects on the whole body. There are many different ways of giving colour, including; Solarised Water, Light boxes/lamps with colour filters, colour silks and hands on healing using colour. ‘5. Colour therapy can be shown to help on a physical level, which is perhaps easier to quantify, however there are deeper issues around the colours on the psychological and spiritual levels. Our well-being is not, of course, purely a physical issue. Fortunately, many more practitioners, both orthodox and complementary, arc now treating patients in a holistic manner. 6. Colour Therapy is a totally holistic and non-invasive therapy and, really, colour should be a part of our everyday life, not just something We experience for an hour or two with a therapist. Colour is all around us everywhere. This wonderful planet does not contain all the beautiful colours of the rainbow for no reason, ‘Nothing on this earth is here just by chance; everything in nature is here for a purpose. Colour is no exception. All we need to do is to heighten our awareness of the energy of colour, absorb it and see how it can transform our lives.
