NOTE:
 In this assignment, all the study material has been added which was
tested by ICAP in his previous exams. I did not add anything of my own to
it.
 So that’s why, this study material is not just for practice but it has to be
prepared completely. Because ICAP is mostly testing the same study
material repeatedly, that he had tested in his previous exams. However,
in rare cases, he can also test new topics.
 This Assignment is prepared using students’ exam feedback, other
teacher’s assignments, and AI.
 Please let me know if you find any mistakes or if you have any material
that ICAP has tested and not included in this assignment.
 I am just a student, not a teacher.

2. Child Labor
Causes
Poverty and Unemployment
Lack of Enforcement of child labor laws
Cultural and Social Norms
Effects
Unable to Afford Education
Increased prevalence of child labor
Acceptance and Normalization of child
labor

Child labor is a prevalent issue in Pakistan, where an estimated 12 million children are working
in various industries, including agriculture, manufacturing, and services. The majority of these
children are working in hazardous conditions, without proper safety measures or access to
education.
Poverty is the main driving force behind child labor in Pakistan, as many families rely on the
income generated by their children to survive. However, this practice perpetuates the cycle
of poverty, as these children are denied the opportunity to receive an education and develop
the necessary skills to break out of poverty.

9|P age
The government of Pakistan has implemented various laws to prohibit child labor, including
the Employment of Children Act of 1991 and the Punjab Restriction on Employment of
Children Act of 2016. However, these laws are not adequately enforced, and many employers
continue to exploit children for cheap labor.
To address this issue, there needs to be a coordinated effort by the government, civil society
organizations, and international stakeholders to eradicate child labor in Pakistan. This
includes investing in education and providing alternative livelihood opportunities for families
living in poverty, as well as enforcing existing laws to hold employers accountable for
exploiting children.

3. Sleep Deprivation

It is a problem that has persisted for far too long, and we must address it urgently.
Unemployment not only affects individuals and families by depriving them of a regular source
of income, but it also has a wider impact on the economy as a whole. Unemployment leads
to reduced spending power, which in turn leads to a decrease in demand for goods and

10 | P a g e
services. This can hurt businesses and industries, and can even lead to a slowdown in
economic growth.
We must come together as a society to address this problem. This can be done by creating
more job opportunities through government policies and initiatives, encouraging
entrepreneurship, and investing in education and skills development. It is also important that
we support those who are unemployed through various programs and initiatives that provide
them with the necessary skills and resources to find gainful employment.
In conclusion, we must act swiftly and decisively to address the issue of unemployment. Let
us work together to create a better future for ourselves and for generations to come.

5. Informal Labor

Causes Effects
Lack of Formal Job Opportunities Economic Impact
Weak Labor Laws and Regulations Lack of Social Security
Poverty and Lack of Education Poor Working Conditions

Informal labor refers to work that is not recognized or protected by legal or regulatory
frameworks. It includes various types of employment, such as street vendors, domestic
workers, day laborers, and small-scale farmers. Informal workers often lack access to social
protection, minimum wages, and basic labor rights, which puts them at risk of exploitation,
poverty, and insecurity.
The informal economy has grown significantly in recent decades, especially in developing
countries, where it accounts for a large share of employment and economic activity. Informal
workers often provide essential goods and services, such as food, clothing, and construction,
and contribute to the informal economy's resilience and dynamism.
However, informal labor also poses challenges for policymakers and society, such as the lack
of tax revenue, the difficulty of regulating working conditions, and the risk of social exclusion.
Therefore, efforts are needed to improve the working conditions, social protection, and
access to education and training for informal workers, while also promoting formalization and
inclusive economic growth.

6. Employee Turnover and its Impacts

Causes Effects
Poor Management Reduced Productivity
Lack of Job Satisfaction Decrease Morale
Limited Growth Opportunities Employee Dissatisfaction

Employee turnover refers to the process of employees leaving a company and being replaced
by new hires. This can have significant impacts on both the employees who leave and the
company they leave behind.

11 | P a g e
One of the immediate impacts of employee turnover is the cost associated with finding and
training new employees. This can be a major expense for companies, as they have to spend
time and money to attract and hire new talent, and then provide them with the necessary
training and resources to perform their jobs effectively.
In addition to these financial costs, employee turnover can also hurt company morale and
productivity. When employees leave, it can create a sense of instability and uncertainty
among the remaining staff, which can lead to decreased motivation and performance.
Employee turnover can also harm the company's reputation, as word of mouth about high
turnover rates can make it difficult to attract and retain top talent.
Overall, employee turnover is a major concern for companies, as it can have significant
impacts on their financial performance, productivity, and reputation. To address this issue,
companies may need to invest in strategies to improve employee engagement, satisfaction,
and retention.

7. Impact of Deforestation
Causes
Expansion of Agriculture and Urbanization
Demand for Timber and Wooden Products
Forest Fires Caused by Human Activities

Growth of Multinational Corporations Increased Employment Opportunities

Globalization refers to the interconnectedness of the global economy, leading to the

exchange of goods, services, and ideas across borders. Globalization has had a significant
impact on the global economy, leading to increased economic growth and reducing poverty.
However, globalization has also led to job loss in some industries and increased income
inequality.
Globalization has also had a significant impact on the environment, leading to increased
resource consumption and carbon emissions. The rise of global supply chains has also led to
labor exploitation and environmental degradation in some countries.
To mitigate the negative effects of globalization, it is essential to promote sustainable trade
and investment practices that promote economic growth while protecting the environment
and promoting social justice. Additionally, it is essential to invest in education and training
programs to ensure that workers can adapt to the changing global economy.

essential to promote policies that protect forests and promote reforestation, as forests play
a vital role in regulating the Earth's climate.

11. Obesity in Children

Causes Effects
Lack of Physical Activity Increased risk of Chronic Diseases
Poor Dietary Choices Reduced Quality of Life
Genetics Low Self-Esteem and Poor Body image

Obesity is a major health problem that affects millions of people worldwide. Excess body fat
accumulates to the extent that it can cause health problems in a condition. The primary cause
of obesity is an imbalance between the calories consumed and the calories burned by the
body. This imbalance is often the result of a sedentary lifestyle and a diet high in processed
and high-calorie foods.
Obesity is associated with several health problems, including heart disease, diabetes, high
blood pressure, and certain types of cancer. It can also lead to psychological issues such as
low self-esteem and depression.
Prevention and management of obesity involve making lifestyle changes, including eating a
balanced and healthy diet, engaging in regular physical activity, and maintaining a healthy
weight. In some cases, medical intervention may be necessary, such as weight loss surgery or
medication.
Obesity is a serious health concern that requires awareness and action to prevent and
manage. It is important to educate oneself on the risks of obesity and take steps towards a
healthy lifestyle to prevent its negative consequences.

12. Fear of Exams

Causes Effects
Lack of Preparation Reduced Academic Performance
Negative Past Experience Low Self-Esteem
Pressure to Perform Well Anxiety and Stress

Exams are an integral part of the education system, and many students experience fear and
anxiety leading up to them. This fear can be caused by a variety of factors, such as pressure
from parents, a desire to achieve good grades, or a fear of failure. However, excessive fear of

14 | P a g e
exams can have negative consequences, such as poor academic performance, low self-
esteem, and even physical symptoms such as headaches and nausea.
One way to overcome exam anxiety is to be well-prepared. This includes studying regularly,

exams, focusing on them as opportunities to demonstrate knowledge and skill rather than as
threats.

13. Are Cell Phones Dangerous

Causes Effects
Radiation Emitted by Cell Phones Increased risk of Cancer
Addiction to use Phone Poor Sleep Quality
Distraction Impaired Focus and Decreased Productivity

Cell phones have caused debates about whether they are dangerous. The main concern is the
radiation they emit. Some people worry that this radiation can increase the risk of cancer.
However, scientific research has not proven a clear connection. Large studies have not found
enough evidence to say that cell phones cause cancer. The amount of radiation from cell
phones is low and unlikely to harm our DNA or make our thinking worse.
While some studies suggest that cell phones might have health effects, scientists are still not
sure. It is important to use cell phones responsibly and follow safety rules. Cell phones have
made our lives better by helping us talk to others and find information easily. However, we
should use devices that keep our hands free and limit our time on cell phones.
In conclusion, there are concerns about cell phone safety, but scientific research does not
prove that they are dangerous. By using cell phones responsibly and following safety
guidelines, we can reduce any potential risks. We need more research to understand the long-
term effects of cell phone use as technology continues to develop.

14. Psycho-Social Effect Of Street Begging

Causes Effects
Poverty Lack of Basic Needs and Resources
Lack of Education and Job Opportunities Increased Crime and Social Disorders
Insufficient Support Systems Limited access to Social Welfare Programs

Street begging occurs when people ask for help or money in public spaces. Poverty is a major
cause, as individuals lacking necessities like food and housing resort to begging for survival.
This perpetuates the poverty cycle, limiting their chances of escaping their circumstances.
Insufficient support from social welfare programs also contributes to street begging. When
vulnerable groups, such as the homeless or people with disabilities, do not receive adequate

15 | P a g e
assistance, they turn to begging out of necessity. This highlights the need for stronger support
systems to address their needs effectively.
The effects of street begging are significant. It deepens the cycle of poverty and hampers
socio-economic mobility. Additionally, those who resort to begging face exploitation and
discrimination, further exacerbating their vulnerable position.
To address street begging, comprehensive solutions are necessary. These should include
targeted poverty alleviation programs, improved access to education and job opportunities,
and enhanced social welfare support for vulnerable individuals. By addressing the root causes
and providing sustainable solutions, we can help individuals break free from the cycle of street
begging and create a more inclusive society.

15. Distance Learning

Causes Effects

Customer Experiences Drive Business Growth

16 | P a g e
The food and beverage industry is a highly competitive space, where restaurants and cafes
constantly strive to offer unique products to attract and retain customers. One such trend
that has gained immense popularity in recent times is the emphasis on high-quality coffee.
The newly established restaurant, recognizing this trend, has made it a priority to offer
extraordinary coffee to its customers.
One of the primary reasons why the restaurant is offering exceptional coffee is to stand out
in the competitive market. By providing a unique coffee experience to its customers, the
restaurant hopes to attract coffee enthusiasts and create a loyal customer base. Moreover,
coffee is a staple beverage for many people, and serving high-quality coffee can significantly
enhance the overall dining experience.
In addition to this, the restaurant understands the importance of the origin and quality of the
coffee beans. Hence, they have collaborated with reputable coffee roasters who source
premium quality beans from various regions across the world. This allows the restaurant to
offer a diverse range of coffee flavors, ranging from nutty to fruity, to cater to different
palates.
In conclusion, the newly established restaurant's decision to offer extraordinary coffee to its
customers is a strategic move to distinguish itself from the competition and provide a unique
experience. By focusing on high-quality beans and diverse flavors, the restaurant hopes to
create a loyal customer base and establish itself as a go-to destination for coffee enthusiasts.

17. Water Crisis in Pakistan

Causes
Climate Change and Irregular Rainfall
Pattern
Population Growth and Urbanization
Poor Water Management Practices
Effects
Reduced Agricultural Productivity
Increased Demand for Water
Wastage and Contamination of Water

Pakistan is currently facing a severe water crisis due to various reasons such as climate
change, mismanagement, and increasing population. The country's main source of water is
its rivers, but they are becoming increasingly polluted and overused. As a result, the
availability of water per capita is decreasing day by day, causing great hardships for the
people.
The agriculture sector, which is the backbone of Pakistan's economy, is also suffering due to
the water crisis. Farmers are unable to cultivate their crops, as they do not have access to
enough water. This is not only affecting the farmers but also leading to food insecurity in the
country.
Moreover, the lack of access to clean drinking water has led to health problems among the
population. Waterborne diseases such as cholera, diarrhea, and typhoid fever are common in
areas where people rely on contaminated water sources.
To address this crisis, the government needs to take immediate action to improve water
management practices and invest in infrastructure to increase the availability of clean water.
Additionally, public awareness campaigns should be launched to educate people about the
importance of conserving water and the dangers of using contaminated water. Only by taking
these measures, can Pakistan hope to overcome its water crisis and ensure a sustainable
future for its people.

47. Currency Depreciation

Causes Effects
Trade Imbalances Enhanced Competitiveness in Exports
Interest Rate Differentials Attraction of Foreign Investments
Government Policies Increased Debt Burden

Currency depreciation, the decline in a nation's currency value compared to others, yields
both positive and negative consequences. Despite its initial drawbacks, currency depreciation
can also create opportunities for economic growth and competitiveness.

consumer purchasing power and pose challenges for managing inflationary pressures.
Furthermore, currency depreciation can escalate the burden of foreign debt. When a country
has substantial external debt, a depreciated currency makes it more expensive to repay
foreign creditors, potentially straining the economy and financial stability.
In conclusion, currency depreciation is a double-edged sword with both benefits and
drawbacks. While it can enhance export competitiveness and spur economic growth, it can
also lead to imported inflation and increase the burden of foreign debt. Striking a balance
through effective economic policies and prudent debt management is crucial for leveraging
the opportunities while minimizing the challenges posed by currency depreciation.

Financial Difficulties Weakened Immune System and illness

Stress, an inherent part of modern life, poses significant risks to our well-being. Work pressure

loved ones can alleviate the negative impacts of stress. Building resilience and adopting
effective coping mechanisms is vital for managing stress and safeguarding our health.
By recognizing the harmful effects of stress and implementing proactive strategies, we can
promote physical and mental well-being, leading to a more balanced and fulfilling life.

1. Write a Letter to Inspector Informing Him about the Increasing number of Beggars’
Number in the City.

I am writing to bring to your attention the alarming increase in the number of beggars in our
city. Over the past few months, the presence of beggars has become more prevalent,
particularly in crowded areas and major intersections. This rise in their numbers is not only a
concern for the city's overall appearance but also poses safety risks for both residents and
visitors.
The increasing population of beggars has led to several problems, including harassment,
public disturbance, and a rise in petty crimes. Immediate action must be taken to address this
issue effectively. I urge you to collaborate with relevant authorities and organizations to
develop a comprehensive plan aimed at reducing the number of beggars on our streets.
Possible measures could include establishing rehabilitation centers that offer vocational
training and support to help beggars reintegrate into society. Additionally, implementing
stricter enforcement against those who exploit or force individuals into begging can act as a
deterrent.
We must create an environment where everyone feels safe and secure. I kindly request your
prompt attention to this matter and look forward to hearing about the actions taken to curb
the growing number of beggars in our city.

2. You and Your Grandfather Visit a Hospital and Hospital Management misbehaves
with you. Write A Complaint Letter To the CEO.

I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction regarding a recent incident that occurred

during my visit to your hospital. My grandfather and I sought medical assistance at your
facility, but we were subjected to misbehavior by the hospital management. The lack of
professionalism and empathy displayed by the receptionist and other staff members was
highly disappointing.
We expected to receive respectful and compassionate care as patients, but instead, we
encountered a dismissive attitude and a complete disregard for our concerns. The behavior
of the hospital management was not only disrespectful but also undermined our trust in the
medical system.
I kindly request a thorough investigation into this matter to identify the individuals
responsible for the misconduct. Appropriate measures must be taken to prevent similar
incidents in the future. Patients deserve to be treated with dignity and receive quality care
when seeking medical assistance.
I hope that you will take immediate action to address our concerns and ensure that such

4. Write a Letter to the Editor Expressing Your Concern about the Increase in the Price
of Petrol and Diesel That Has Affected The common person.

I am deeply concerned about the recent surge in petrol and diesel prices and its impact on
the common person. The rising fuel costs have placed a heavy burden on individuals who
heavily rely on private vehicles and public transportation.
These increasing prices directly affect people's budgets and have a ripple effect on the
economy. The higher fuel expenses contribute to inflation, leading to increased prices of
essential goods and services. This puts additional strain on the average citizen's financial
stability.
Furthermore, the escalating fuel prices disproportionately affect those from lower-income
backgrounds, pushing them into greater financial hardship.
The government and relevant authorities must address this issue promptly. Measures such as
reviewing taxation policies and promoting fuel efficiency can help alleviate the burden on the
common person.
I urge the concerned authorities to take immediate action to stabilize fuel prices and
implement long-term strategies to mitigate the adverse effects on the common person.
Transparency in fuel pricing mechanisms is essential, along with promoting alternative energy
sources.
Thank you for providing a platform to raise these concerns. Let us work together to find
solutions that ensure a more sustainable future for all.

5. Assume that you are a trader letter to the mayor of the city explaining the detail of
losses due to the collapse of the city drainage.

I am writing to bring to your attention the significant losses incurred by traders in our city due
to the recent collapse of the drainage system. This unfortunate incident has had a severe
impact on our businesses, resulting in substantial financial setbacks.
The collapse of the drainage system has led to flooding in several areas, including commercial
zones, causing damage to our merchandise, equipment, and infrastructure. This has resulted
in inventory losses, repair expenses, and disruptions to our operations. As responsible traders
who contribute to the city's economy, we believe it is essential for the city government to
compensate us for these losses.
Furthermore, it is crucial to address the root cause of this problem and take preventive
measures to avoid a recurrence in the future. We recommend a comprehensive assessment
of the city's drainage system to identify weak points and prioritize necessary repairs or
upgrades. Regular maintenance and inspections should be carried out to ensure the system's
proper functioning. Additionally, investing in modern technology and sustainable drainage
solutions can enhance the system's resilience against future challenges.
We urge the city government to allocate resources towards these initiatives, understanding
the critical role that a well-functioning drainage system plays in safeguarding the interests of
the business community and the overall well-being of our city.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and we hope for prompt action and support from

disposal system.

I am writing to request your assistance in addressing a pressing issue that is causing mental
agony for the residents of our community. The streets and lanes desperately need to be
cleaned, and we require a well-planned garbage disposal system to alleviate this problem.
The current condition of our streets, filled with garbage and waste, not only creates an
unpleasant sight but also poses health risks to the residents. The presence of unattended
garbage invites pests and insects, making it unsafe for children and the elderly.
I kindly ask for your immediate attention to this matter. It is crucial to implement a systematic
garbage disposal system that includes regular waste collection, proper segregation, and
disposal methods. By placing strategically located garbage bins and ensuring their timely

I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the recent experience I had at your

restaurant. On [date], I visited Grill Restaurant with some foreign friends, and unfortunately,
our dining experience was far from satisfactory.
Firstly, we were made to wait for an unusually long period of 50 minutes before being seated,
despite having a reservation. This extended wait time was inconvenient and marred the
beginning of our evening.
Furthermore, the quality of the food we ordered was extremely disappointing. The soup
served to us was cold, and all the subsequent dishes failed to meet our expectations in terms
of taste and presentation. As a result, our dining experience was far from enjoyable, leaving
us feeling dissatisfied and let down.
I feel compelled to bring this matter to your attention, as we had previously enjoyed our visits
to Grill Restaurant and recommended it to others. However, this recent experience has left
us disheartened.
I kindly request that you investigate the issues we faced and take appropriate measures to
rectify them. I hope that you address the shortcomings in your restaurant's management and
food quality to ensure a more satisfying experience for future customers.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you and a

Education plays a vital role in shaping a person's future. It equips individuals with knowledge,

manager to recommend him to increase bonuses for employees.

I hope this letter finds you well. As the Production Manager, I would like to bring to your
attention a recommendation that I believe will positively impact employee productivity. I
suggest increasing the bonuses provided to our employees.
Bonuses serve as a powerful motivator for employees, as they feel rewarded and recognized

Increased bonuses would not only boost employee morale but also foster a sense of loyalty

I kindly request you to consider this recommendation and assess the feasibility of
implementing an enhanced bonus system. I believe it will contribute to a more engaged and
motivated workforce, ultimately leading to improved productivity and organizational success.

The park is an essential recreational space for families, children, and individuals seeking a

29. Increasing Number of Accidents on Motorways

I am writing to draw your attention to the increasing number of accidents occurring on the
motorway, specifically [mention the specific motorway if applicable]. The rising frequency of
these incidents is a matter of grave concern and requires immediate action.
The accidents on the motorway not only result in property damage but, more importantly,
pose a significant threat to the safety and lives of motorists. The causes behind these
accidents can range from reckless driving and speeding to inadequate road signage and poor
maintenance.
I urge you to prioritize the implementation of effective measures to address this issue. These
may include increased patrolling by law enforcement, enhanced road safety awareness
campaigns, improved road infrastructure, and stricter enforcement of traffic regulations.
Additionally, investing in advanced technologies such as smart traffic management systems
and real-time monitoring can help detect and prevent potential hazards.
We must take swift action to ensure the safety of all motorists on the motorway. Let us work
together to create a safer and more secure driving environment for everyone.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to seeing significant improvements
in the safety standards on the motorway.

 MEMORANDUMS

1. The government has introduced a new budget in which duties are reduced.
I hope this memo finds you well. I wanted to inform you about the recent government budget
announcement regarding reduced duties on imported vehicles. This development will have a
significant impact on local car manufacturers.
With the reduction in duties, the prices of imported cars are expected to become more
competitive in the market. This could potentially lead to a decline in demand for locally
manufactured cars, as consumers may find imported options more appealing due to their
lower prices.
To remain competitive, it is crucial for Mega Motors to carefully evaluate our pricing strategy
and explore ways to enhance the value proposition of our locally manufactured vehicles. We
may also consider adjusting our production plans and focusing on specific market segments
that are less affected by the reduced duties.
I recommend that we closely monitor market trends and consumer preferences in light of this
budget change. This will allow us to adapt our marketing and production strategies
accordingly, ensuring our continued success in the dynamic automotive industry.
Please let me know if you would like me to gather further information or propose any specific
actions in response to this development.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

 COMPREHENSION PASSAGES

1. DIABETES

There are two types of diabetes, insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent. Between 90 and 95
percent of the estimated 13 to 14, million people in the United States with diabetes have non-insulin-
dependent, or Type II, diabetes. Because this form of diabetes usually begins in adults over the age
of 40 and is most common after the age of 55, it used to be called adult-onset diabetes. Its symptoms
often develop gradually and are hard to identify at first; therefore, nearly half of all people with
diabetes do not know they have it. Someone who has developed Type II diabetes may feel tired or ill
without knowing why, a circumstance which can be particularly dangerous because untreated
diabetes can cause damage to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. While the causes,
short-term effects, and treatments of the two types of diabetes differ, both types can cause the same
long-term health problems. Most importantly, both types of diabetes affect the body's ability to use
digested food for energy. Diabetes does not interfere with digestion, but it does prevent the body
from using an important product of digestion, glucose (commonly known as sugar), for energy. After
a meal, the normal digestive system extracts glucose from some foods. The blood carries glucose or
sugar throughout the body, causing blood glucose levels to rise. In response to this rise, the hormone
insulin is released into the bloodstream and signals the body tissues to metabolize or burn the glucose
for fuel, which causes blood glucose levels to return to normal. The glucose that the body does not
use right away is stored in the liver, muscle, or fat.
In both types of diabetes, this normal process malfunctions. A gland called the pancreas, found just
behind the stomach, makes insulin. In patients with insulin-dependent diabetes, the pancreas does
not produce insulin at all. This condition usually begins in childhood and is known as Type I (formerly
called juvenile-onset) diabetes. These patients must have daily insulin injections to survive. People
with non-insulin-dependent diabetes usually produce some insulin in their pancreas, but the body's
tissues do not respond very well to the insulin signal and therefore do not metabolize the glucose
properly—a condition known as insulin resistance.
Insulin resistance is an important factor in non-insulin-dependent diabetes, and scientists are
researching the causes of insulin resistance. They have identified two possibilities. The first is that
there could be a defect in the insulin receptors on cells. Like an appliance that needs to be plugged
into an electrical outlet, insulin has to bind to a receptor to function. Several things can go wrong with
receptors. For example, there may not be enough receptors for insulin to bind to, or a defect in the
receptors may prevent insulin from binding. The second possible cause of insulin resistance is that,
although insulin may bind to the receptors, the cells may not read the signal to metabolize the
glucose. Scientists continue to study these cells to see why this might happen.
There is no cure for diabetes yet. However, there are ways to alleviate its symptoms. In 1986, a
National Institutes of Health panel of experts recommended that the best treatment for non-insulin-
dependent diabetes is a diet that helps one maintain a normal weight and pays particular attention to
a proper balance of the different food groups. Many experts, including those in the American Diabetes
Association, recommend that 50 to 60 percent of daily calories come from carbohydrates, 12 to 20
percent from protein, and no more than 30 percent from fat. Foods that are rich in carbohydrates,
such as bread, cereals, fruits, and vegetables, break down into glucose during digestion, causing blood
glucose to rise. Additionally, studies have shown that cooked foods raise blood glucose higher than

52 | P a g e
raw, unpeeled foods. A doctor or nutritionist should always be consulted for more information and
for help in planning a diet to offset the effects of this form of diabetes.

PRECIS:
Type II diabetes, also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes, affects a majority of the diabetic
population in the United States. It primarily develops in adults over 40 years old and can go undetected
due to gradual symptom progression. Untreated Type II diabetes can lead to severe health
complications. While Type I diabetes, or insulin-dependent diabetes, occurs mainly in children and
necessitates daily insulin injections for survival, Type II diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance.
Insulin resistance can be attributed to defects in insulin receptors or the failure of cells to interpret
insulin signals. Although there is no cure for diabetes, proper management is essential. A
recommended approach involves maintaining a normal weight and following a balanced diet.
Consulting a healthcare professional for personalized dietary planning is crucial to mitigate the effects
of Type II diabetes.

2. STRESS AND ANXIETY

There is a famous expression in English: "Stop the world, I want to get off!" This expression refers to
a feeling of panic, or stress, that makes a person want to stop whatever they are doing, try to relax,
and become calm again. 'Stress' means pressure or tension. It is one of the most common causes of
health problems in modern life. Too much stress results in physical, emotional, and mental health
problems.
There are numerous physical effects of stress. Stress can affect the heart. It can increase the pulse
rate, make the heart miss beats, and can cause high blood pressure. Stress can affect the respiratory
system. It can lead to asthma. It can cause a person to breathe too fast, resulting in a loss of important
carbon dioxide. Stress can affect the stomach. It can cause stomach aches and problems digesting
food. These are only a few examples of the wide range of illnesses and symptoms resulting from stress.
Emotions are also easily affected by stress. People suffering from stress often feel anxious. They may
have panic attacks. They may feel tired all the time. When people are under stress, they often
overreact to little problems. For example, a normally gentle parent under a lot of stress at work may
yell at a child for dropping a glass of juice. Stress can make people angry, moody, or nervous.
Long-term stress can lead to a variety of serious mental illnesses. Depression, an extreme feeling of
sadness and hopelessness, can be the result of continued and increasing stress. Alcoholism and other
addictions often develop as a result of the overuse of alcohol or drugs to try to relieve stress. Eating
disorders, such as anorexia, are sometimes caused by stress and are often made worse by stress. If
stress is allowed to continue, then one's mental health is put at risk. It is obvious that stress is a serious
problem. It attacks the body. It affects emotions. Untreated, it may eventually result in mental illness.
Stress has a great influence on the health and well-being of our bodies, our feelings, and our minds.
So, reduce stress: stop the world and rest for a while.

PRECIS:
The expression "Stop the world; I want to get off!" signifies the overwhelming feeling of stress and the
desire to find relief. Stress, defined as pressure or tension, is a common cause of health issues in
modern life, affecting physical, emotional, and mental well-being. The physical effects of stress include
increased heart rate, irregular heartbeats, high blood pressure, respiratory problems, and digestive
issues. Emotionally, stress manifests as anxiety, fatigue, overreactions to minor problems, anger,

53 | P a g e
moodiness, and nervousness. Long-term stress can lead to severe mental illnesses such as depression,
alcoholism, drug addiction, and eating disorders. Stress poses a significant risk to mental health if left
untreated. It is crucial to recognize the impact of stress on our overall health and take measures to
alleviate it. It's time to prioritize stress management and find ways to cope effectively.

3. SCIENCE AND RELIGION

Many people believe that science and religion are contrary to each other. But this notion is wrong as
a matter of fact, both are complementary to each other. The aim of both these institutions is to explain
different aspects of life, the universe, and human existence. There is no doubt that the methods of
science and religion are different. The method of science is observation, experimentation, and
experience. Science takes its recourse to a progressive march towards perfection the rules of religion
are faith, intuition, and the spoken word of the enlightened, in general, while science is inclined
towards reason and rationality, spiritualism is the essence of religion. In earlier times when man
appeared on Earth, he was overawed at the sight of violent and powerful aspects of nature. In certain
cases, the usefulness of different natural objects of nature overwhelmed man. Thus began the worship
of forces of nature—fire, the Sun, the rivers, the rocks, the trees, the snakes, etc. The holy scriptures
were written by those who had developed harmony between external nature and their inner self.
Their object was to ennoble, elevate and liberate the human spirit and mind. But the priestly class
took upon itself the monopoly of scriptural knowledge and interpretation to its own advantage. Thus,
the entire human race was in chains. The truth was flouted and progressive, liberal, and truthful ideas
or ideas expressing doubt and skepticism were suppressed and their holders punished. It was in these
trying circumstances that science emerged as a savior of mankind but its path was not smooth and
safe. The
scientists and free thinkers were tortured. This was the fate of Copernicus, Galileo, Bruno, and others
but by and by science gained ground.

PRECIS:
Contrary to popular belief, science and religion are not contradictory but rather complementary
institutions aimed at explaining different aspects of life, the universe, and human existence. While
science relies on observation, experimentation, and reason, religion emphasizes faith, intuition, and
spiritualism. In ancient times, humans worshipped natural forces and revered the elements of nature.
The holy scriptures were written to uplift and free the human spirit, but over time, the priestly class
monopolized scriptural knowledge, suppressing progressive ideas and skeptics. Science emerged as a
liberating force, despite facing opposition and persecution. Pioneers such as Copernicus, Galileo, and
Bruno endured hardships, yet science gradually gained acceptance and recognition.

4. TORNADOES

A tornado is born from a powerful storm called a supercell. Tornadoes have been reported in all states,
but most tornadoes happen in the central parts of America called "Tornado Alley." In some supercells,
warm, moist air rises quickly into the atmosphere. Winds blowing at different speeds at different parts
of the supercell produce wind shear and cause a horizontal, rotating column of air. A funnel cloud will
form as the air column rotates faster and more tightly within the supercell. The rain and hail within
the storm cause the funnel cloud to touch the ground resulting in a tornado. The strength of a tornado

54 | P a g e
is measured by what's called the Fujita scale. The weakest tornadoes (F0) feature winds of 40-78 miles
per hour, while the strongest tornadoes (F5) have winds of up to 318 miles per hour. All tornadoes
can be devastating, especially if they touch down in areas with lots of people.
A tornado outbreak occurs when one storm system produces multiple tornadoes. Some tornado
outbreaks can result in the formation of dozens of tornadoes over several states. One particularly
powerful tornado outbreak occurred between April 25 and April 28 of 2011, where a record 355
tornadoes in 21 states and Canada were recorded, including an F5 tornado that destroyed parts of
Tuscaloosa, Alabama. Much of the destruction was caught on camera and broadcast across the
country and the internet. The same weather system produced hailstones that measured 4.5 inches
across southern Virginia. 328 people were killed as a result of the outbreak, which totaled over $11
billion in damages.

PRECIS:
Tornadoes, born from powerful storms known as supercells, are most commonly found in Tornado
Alley, located in the central parts of America. Within supercells, wind shear caused by varying wind
speeds creates a rotating column of air, resulting in a funnel cloud. When this cloud touches the
ground due to rain and hail, a tornado forms. Tornado strength is measured using the Fujita scale,
ranging from F0 to F5, with winds reaching up to 318 miles per hour. Tornado outbreaks occur when
one storm system generates numerous tornadoes, causing significant destruction. In 2011, a record-
breaking outbreak produced 355 tornadoes in 21 states and Canada, resulting in devastating damage,
loss of life, and significant financial costs.

5. ORGANIC AND NON-ORGANIC FOOD

Are organically grown foods the best food choices? The advantages claimed for such foods over
conventionally grown and marketed food products are now being debated. Advocates of organic
foods – a term whose meaning varies greatly – frequently proclaim that such products are safer and
more nutritious than others.
The growing interest of consumers in the safety and nutritional quality of the typical North American
diet is a welcome development. However, much of this interest has been sparked by sweeping claims
that the food supply is unsafe or inadequate in meeting nutritional needs. Although most of these
claims are not supported by scientific evidence, the preponderance of written material advancing such
claims makes it difficult for the general public to separate fact from fiction. As a result, claims that
eating a diet consisting entirely of organically grown foods prevents or cures disease or provides other
benefits to health have become widely publicized and form the basis for folklore.
Almost daily, the public is besieged by claims for “no-aging” diets, new vitamins, and other wonder
foods. There are numerous unsubstantiated reports that natural vitamins are superior to synthetic
ones, that fertilized eggs are nutritionally superior to unfertilized eggs, that untreated grains are better
than fumigated grains, and the like.
One thing that most organically grown food products seem to have in common is that they cost more
than conventionally grown foods. But in many cases, consumers are misled if they believe organic
foods can maintain health and provide better nutritional quality than conventionally grown foods. So
there is real cause for concern if consumers, particularly those with limited incomes, distrust regular
food and buy only expensive organic foods instead.

55 | P a g e
PRECIS:
The debate surrounding the superiority of organically grown foods compared to conventionally grown
counterparts has gained attention. Advocates of organic foods claim they are safer and more
nutritious. However, the meaning of "organic" varies greatly, leading to differing opinions. While it is
encouraging that consumers show interest in the safety and nutritional quality of their diet, many
claims lack scientific evidence. The abundance of material promoting the benefits of organic foods
makes it challenging for the public to separate fact from fiction. Claims of disease prevention, cure,
and overall health benefits from consuming only organically grown foods have become widely
circulated but lack substantial evidence. Additionally, daily claims for various wonder foods make it
difficult to distinguish reliable information. It is worth noting that organic foods generally come at a
higher cost. Consumers should be cautious about solely relying on expensive organic foods for health
benefits, as this may pose concerns, especially for those with limited incomes.

6. ROLE OF MICRONUTRIENTS

Throughout human history, the leading causes of death have been infection and trauma. Modern
medicine has scored significant victories against both, and the major causes of ill health and death are
now chronic degenerative diseases, such as coronary artery disease, arthritis, cataract, and cancer.
These have a long latency period before symptoms appear and a diagnosis is made. It follows that the
majority of apparently healthy people are pre-ill. Many national surveys reveal that malnutrition is
common in developed countries. This is not the calorie or micronutrient deficiency associated with
developing but multiple nation micronutrient depletion, usually combined with calorific balance or
excess. The incidence and severity of Type B malnutrition will be shown to be worse if newer
micronutrient groups such as essential fatty acids and flavonoids are included in the surveys. However,
the pharmaceutical model has also created an unhealthy dependency culture, in which relatively few
of us accept responsibility for maintaining our health. Instead, we have handed over this responsibility
to health professionals who know very little about health maintenance or disease prevention. Based
on pharmaceutical thinking, most intervention studies have attempted to measure the impact of a
single micronutrient on the incidence of disease. The classical approach says that if you give a
compound formula to test subjects and obtain positive results, you cannot know which ingredient is
exerting the benefit, so you must test each ingredient individually.
So do we need to analyze each individual's nutritional status and then tailor a formula specifically for
him or her? While we do not have the resources to analyze millions of individual cases. There is no
need to do so. The vast majority of people are consuming suboptimal amounts of most micronutrients,
and most of the micronutrients concerned are very safe. Accordingly, a comprehensive and universal
program of micronutrient support is probably the most cost-effective and safest way of improving the
general health of the nation.

PRECIS:
Throughout history, infection and trauma were the leading causes of death, but modern medicine has
made significant progress against them. Now, chronic degenerative diseases such as coronary artery
disease, arthritis, cataract, and cancer dominate health concerns. Surveys indicate that malnutrition
is prevalent in developed countries, characterized by a depletion of multiple micronutrients combined
with calorific imbalance. However, there is a growing unhealthy dependency on healthcare
professionals for personal health maintenance, rather than taking individual responsibility. The
pharmaceutical model focuses on testing single micronutrients' impact on disease incidence,

56 | P a g e
neglecting the comprehensive approach. Tailoring a specific formula for each individual is impractical
on a large scale. Nevertheless, the majority of people consume suboptimal amounts of micronutrients,
making a universal and comprehensive program of micronutrient support a cost-effective and safe
strategy for improving public health.

7. SEVERE WEATHER

Severe storms happen in low-pressure weather systems. Warm, wet air begins rising into the air. The
higher it rises, the cooler it becomes. Water vapor in the air forms drops. This process is called
condensation. The drops join together to form clouds. Precipitation in the form of rain, sleet, snow,
or hail falls down to Earth’s surface. Conditions must be very specific for a thunderstorm to develop.
Even so, thunderstorms remain the most common kind of extreme weather. Before a thunderstorm
can develop, there have to be three conditions present. First, the air has to be full of moisture. Next,
there must be either an approaching cold front or an intensely heated piece of Earth’s surface sending
warm air up quickly. Finally, the warm air that rises must be warm enough to stay warmer than the air
it passes through. When these conditions are met, the moisture in the rising air condenses. Clouds
form, and a storm begins. A cold front happens when cold air is moving near the surface of the Earth,
and it pushes warm air up very quickly. This is often the beginning of a thunderstorm. Clouds form,
and heavy rains begin falling. Opposite electrical charges inside storm clouds separate. This causes
lightning to flash toward Earth. Lightning has enough energy to heat the air all around it. This sudden
burst of heat is what causes the noise we know as thunder. Thunderstorms often bring disasters with
them. This can be in the form of floods, fires caused by lightning, damage from hailstones or strong
winds, and even tornadoes. A tornado is a spinning mass of air over land that can destroy virtually
everything in its path. A blizzard is a combination of strong winds and extremely low temperatures.
Snowfall increases until it is so heavy it is difficult or impossible to see. People can become lost in the
snow and freeze to death. Homes can be covered over with snow, trapping people indoors. A
hurricane is the most powerful storm known on Earth. It forms over warm ocean waters off the coast
of the tropics, becoming a gigantic swirling mixture of air and water. It can grow to between 100 and
900 miles wide. Wind speeds can average 75 miles per hour or more. Hurricanes do the most damage
to coastal cities because they quickly lose their strength as they move over land. Hurricanes are so
large and powerful that their swirling clouds can be seen from space.

PRECIS:
Severe storms occur within low-pressure weather systems, where warm, moist air rises and undergoes
condensation, forming clouds and precipitation. Thunderstorms, the most common extreme weather,
require specific conditions: moisture-rich air, an approaching cold front or intense surface heating,
and warm air remaining warmer than its surroundings. Lightning and thunder result from electrical
charges separating within storm clouds. Thunderstorms can bring floods, lightning-induced fires, hail
damage, strong winds, and even tornadoes. Tornadoes are destructive spinning masses of air, while
blizzards combine heavy snowfall, strong winds, and freezing temperatures, posing dangers like
disorientation and frostbite. Hurricanes, the most powerful storms on Earth, form over warm ocean
waters, reaching gigantic sizes and bringing destructive winds and rainfall. Coastal areas face the
greatest impact, as hurricanes weaken upon landfall. The immense size of hurricanes allows their
swirling clouds to be visible from space.

8. DISCOVERY OF PORTUGAL
In the 16th century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand Magellan led the
first expedition to sail around the world. As a young Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal,
but he became involved in the quagmire of political intrigue at court and lost the king's favor. After he
was dismissed from service by the king of Portugal, he offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V
of Spain.
A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees W longitude to
Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal. Magellan offered to prove that the East Indies fell
under Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More
than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography of South America in search of a
water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining four ships searched along the
southern peninsula of South America. Finally, they found the passage they sought near 50 degrees S
latitude. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints, but today it is known as the Strait of
Magellan.
One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged to gaze
at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed the meridian, now known as
the International Date Line, in the early spring of 1521 after 98 days on the Pacific Ocean. During those
long days at sea, many of Magellan's men died of starvation and disease.
Later, Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in a tribal battle.
Only 1 ship and 17 sailors under the command of the Basque navigator Elcano survived to complete
the westward journey to Spain and thus prove once and for all that the world is round, with no
precipice at the edge.

favor with the king of Portugal, he offered his services to the future Emperor Charles V of Spain.
Magellan aimed to prove Spanish authority over the East Indies. Setting sail from Spain in 1519 with

leaving fewer sailors to witness the first view of the Pacific Ocean. After enduring starvation and
disease during their 98-day journey across the Pacific, Magellan's men crossed the International Date

completed the westward journey to Spain, providing evidence that the world is round.

9. WASTAGE MUSEUM

Inside Nigeria's 'Waste Museum' in Ibadan city, Jumoke Olowookere works on her latest creations
made out of used tires to add an addition to a wide collection produced from used plastic and fabric,
wine corks, and corn husks, among other materials.
Olowookere, who says her museum is the first of its kind in Africa, joins a growing number of Nigerians
who are using waste material to make art and fashion to highlight the damaging impact of waste on
the environment.
In Nigeria, Africa's biggest oil producer with more than 200 million people, plastic waste in particular,
in the form of discarded bags, and food and drink packaging, is ubiquitous and dropping of litter is
commonplace.
Olowookere said she had the idea when she saw the amount of waste generated in her kitchen, such
as plastic, nylon, and cornhusks. She started piling them up in a corner of a room while reading up on

58 | P a g e
how to reduce and recycle. The 44-year-old former visual arts teacher spoke as U.N. member states
were meeting in Nairobi to agree on plans for the first global treaty to tackle plastics pollution. "We
have a long way to go to get to that sustainable world without waste. We need to get up and take
responsibility for our waste. Stop littering the world with your waste," she told Reuters.
In Nigeria's commercial capital Lagos, a lot of waste ends up in waterways that lead into the Gulf of
Guinea, prompting concerns about the amount of plastic entering the sea. Olowookere said she
collected some of her waste material from people's homes and also makes equipment for school
playgrounds. Work from other artists is also featured at her museum, which includes ottoman
furniture and ceiling panels made from worn-out car tires as well as curtains and jewelry produced
from bottle tops.

PRECIS:
Jumoke Olowookere operates Nigeria's 'Waste Museum' in Ibadan, where she creates artwork from
discarded materials like used tires, plastic, fabric, and corn husks. The museum highlights the
environmental impact of waste and promotes recycling. Nigeria, as Africa's largest oil producer,
struggles with widespread plastic waste and littering. Olowookere's inspiration came from observing
the waste generated in her kitchen, prompting her to collect and recycle materials. She emphasizes
the need for responsibility and waste reduction. The museum features other artists' work and
showcases furniture, curtains, and jewelry made from recycled items like worn-out car tires and bottle
tops.

10. FRUIT FLIES

Fruit flies are tiny insects that are attracted to ripe or rotting fruits and vegetables. The flies not only
eat the fruit, but they also lay their eggs there. A single fruit fly can lay up to 500 eggs on the surface
of a piece of fruit. Within eight days, the fruit flies that hatch from these eggs are full adults that can
then lay their eggs. As you can see, what might start as a small fruit fly problem can become very large
very quickly. Although there is a chance fruit flies can carry germs onto your food, this is not very likely.
Fruit flies are annoying, but they probably will not hurt you. Because they are such a nuisance,
however, most people want to get rid of these pesky bugs as quickly as possible. Some people use
pesticide sprays on fruit flies. Although this will kill the flies, it will also spread harmful poison all over
your kitchen. Luckily, there is also a completely safe way for you to get rid of fruit flies in your house.
The first step is for you to remove all fruits or vegetables from your counter. Store these items in the
refrigerator or sealed containers. Clean up any spilled juice or bits of food that might be on the floor.
Take out the trash and empty the recycling bin. Wash any dirty dishes that are in your sink. Doing all
of these things will stop new fruit flies from finding food or places to lay their eggs. Next, make a trap
to catch all of the remaining fruit flies in your house. First, fill a small bowl with a few tablespoons of
vinegar. Then, put a piece of very ripe or rotting fruit into the vinegar. Cover the bowl very tightly with
a sheet of plastic wrap and poke a few very small holes in the wrap with a fork. If all goes according to
plan, the flies will enter the trap through the holes but will be unable to fly back out. This trap will
catch all of the remaining fruit flies. You can either kill these flies or release them outdoors. Fruit flies
can be a pest, but they do not have to make you crazy. With a little effort, you can get existing flies
out of your house and prevent new ones from taking over your kitchen.

PRECIS:

Fruit flies are small insects attracted to ripe or rotting fruits and vegetables, laying up to 500 eggs on
a single piece of fruit. Within eight days, the eggs hatch into adult flies that can lay their eggs, causing
a rapid increase in their population. While fruit flies are mostly a nuisance and unlikely to carry harmful
germs, their presence can be bothersome. Instead of using harmful pesticide sprays, you can safely
eliminate fruit flies by removing fruits and vegetables from countertops, cleaning up spills, taking out
the trash, and washing dirty dishes. Creating a trap with vinegar and ripe fruit covered tightly with
plastic wrap can capture and eliminate remaining fruit flies. Dispose of or release the trapped flies
outdoors. By following these steps, you can effectively get rid of fruit flies and prevent future
infestations in your kitchen.

11. WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

Women empowerment refers to making women powerful to make them capable of deciding for
themselves. Women have suffered a lot through the years at the hands of men. In earlier centuries,
they were treated as almost non-existent. As if all, the rights belonged to men even something as basic
as voting. As the times evolved, women realized their power. There on began the revolution for
women’s empowerment. As women were not allowed to make decisions for themselves, women’s
empowerment came in like a breath of fresh air. It made them aware of their rights and how they
must make their place in society rather than depending on a man. It recognized the fact that things
cannot simply work in someone's favor because of their gender. However, we still have a long way to
go when we talk about the reasons why we need it.
In other words, women from all over the world have been rebellious to reach the status they have
today. While Western countries are still making progress, third-world countries like India still lag in
women’s empowerment. In India, women’s empowerment is needed more than ever. India is amongst
the countries, which are not safe for women. There are various reasons for this. Firstly, women in India
are in danger of honor killings. Their family thinks it is right to take their lives if they bring shame to
the reputation of their legacy.
Moreover, the education and freedom scenario is very regressive here. Women are not allowed to
pursue higher education. They are married off early. The men are still dominating women in some
regions like the woman must work for him endlessly. They do not let them go out or have freedom of
any kind. In addition, domestic violence is a major problem in India. The men beat up their wives and
abuse them as they think women are their property. More so, because women are afraid to speak up.
Similarly, the women who do work get paid less than their male counterparts. It is downright unfair
and sexist to pay someone less for the same work because of their gender. Thus, we see how women’s
empowerment is the need of the hour. We need to empower these women to speak up for themselves
and never be a victim of injustice.

PRECIS:
Women empowerment aims to enable women to make independent decisions and take control of
their lives. Throughout history, women have faced oppression and limited rights, including basic
privileges like voting. However, the concept of women’s empowerment emerged as a transformative
movement, emphasizing women's rights and their active participation in society. It recognizes the
need for women to have agency and not rely on men. Despite progress, women’s empowerment is
still necessary, especially in countries like India, where women face challenges such as honor killings,
limited education, lack of freedom, domestic violence, and unequal pay. Women empowerment is

crucial to empower women to assert themselves, break free from injustice, and create a more
equitable society.

12. THE OZONE LAYER

Often in the news, there is information given about the ozone layer of the Earth and how it needs to
be protected and carefully monitored. What exactly is the ozone layer, though?
The ozone layer is high up in the Earth’s atmosphere, called the stratosphere.
Ozone itself is a gas made up of three types of oxygen molecules. Ozone is formed when sunlight hits
certain oxygen molecules and breaks them up into smaller parts of individual atoms. These individual
atoms then join with another type of oxygen molecule to make ozone.
The ozone layer is where there is a high concentration of ozone molecules located high above in the
Earth's atmosphere that form when the Sun hits the oxygen molecules.
The ozone layer protects the Earth, It protects the Earth from the direct rays of the Sun. Instead of
those direct rays reaching the Earth's surface, the molecules in the ozone layer Soak up or absorb
certain dangerous ultraviolet rays that are the causes of sunburns and skin cancer.
The ozone, and as a result, the ozone layer, can be damaged in several ways. First, it must be
understood that certain molecules react differently when they come in contact with other molecules.
For example, a molecule of sugar mixed with a molecule of water simply makes water taste sweet.
This is not dangerous and drinking too much of it may cause cavities, but it is not considered harmful.
However, there are certain molecules when mixed with ozone molecules, problems begin to occur.
There is a chemical reaction that takes place causing the ozone to break apart. When this happens,
the ozone can no longer soak up or absorb the ultraviolet light from the rays of the Sun.
The molecules destroying the ozone are produced on Earth. These are called chlorofluorocarbons or
CFCs. They consist of a group of chemicals made up of chlorine, fluorine, carbon, and hydrogen. They
were originally used to help keep things cold and were found in air conditioners, refrigerators, and
other similar products, as well as in spray cans and fire extinguishers. Many people and scientists
assumed they were safe and were great for keeping things cold.
Unfortunately, though, it was discovered the CFCs were harmful to the environment. The chemicals
from the CFCs eventually find their way into the Earth's atmosphere, and of course, end up in the
ozone layer as well. Once there, they begin to destroy and break apart the ozone molecules, which in
turn the layer becomes thinner and weaker. The ozone can no longer soak up or absorb the ultraviolet
light from the sun's rays.
Fortunately, CFCs were banned in the year 2000 after much debate and study by experts and leaders
around the world. CFCs are no longer used and have been eliminated by most countries. The CFCs that
were originally released into the air take a long time to disappear so it will take some time for the
ozone layer to be built back up again too. In the meantime, people need to take precautions, use
sunscreen, and wear sunglasses when spending time in the sunlight.
In summary, the ozone layer is a protective covering, which helps keep some of the Sun’s cancerous
ultraviolet rays from reaching the Earth’s surface. Years ago CFSs, a chemical, was responsible for
destroying some of the ozone, but it is now banned throughout the world.

PRECIS:
The ozone layer is a protective covering in the Earth's atmosphere that shields the planet from harmful
ultraviolet rays. It is composed of ozone, a gas made up of three oxygen molecules. The ozone layer
absorbs the ultraviolet rays from the Sun, preventing them from reaching the Earth's surface and

causing damage like sunburns and skin cancer. However, certain molecules, such as
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs), can destroy the ozone layer by breaking apart ozone molecules. CFCs
were commonly used in products like air conditioners and spray cans but were later banned due to
their harmful effects. The ozone layer takes time to recover from the damage caused by CFCs. In the
meantime, it is important to use sunscreen and wear sunglasses for protection against ultraviolet rays.

13. MEDICATION

Medicine, however, is not the only application for Expert Systems. The oil exploration company
Schlumberger uses these computers for predicting drilling conditions, and Stanford University, USA, a
leader in Expert Systems, has programs such as DENDRAL to build models of molecules from chemical
data.
A. By this method, a computer merely performs sequentially, a series of arithmetic operations. All its
advantages are due to the fact that it works extremely quickly, but its achievements are governed
entirely by its program. A small programming error, no matter how trivial, results in the program
crashing –failing to run – because the machine cannot deduce what the programmer meant to write.
One exciting aspect of these parallel computers is that they can possess artificial intelligence. Such
machines will have the ability to make decisions, use deductive logic, criticize constructively, and
advise. In Japan, for example, the newly formed Institute for New Generation Computer Technology
has been developing a machine to mimic human thought patterns, respond to spoken commands,
translate languages, and make intelligent robots possible. One particular type of AI system already
finding widespread use is the Expert System. This computer contains the facts that a human expert
would use to solve problems.
Thirdly, the new generation of computers will process data in an entirely different way. Rather than
operating sequentially, the machines will contain many (perhaps a million) of CPUs each in two-way
electronic communication with others. This parallel method of operation enables many different tasks
to be handled simultaneously by processes thought to be similar to those in a human brain.
At the University of Pittsburgh, USA, there is a computer that can diagnose illnesses by a program
called INTERNIST. The machine contains information on over 500 different diseases, each linked to an
average of 60 probable symptoms. The doctor tells the computer the symptoms of the patient and
the machine lists a set of likely diseases and then narrows its selection by asking the patient a set of
questions about the ailment. Within a decade, computer-aided diagnosis may become commonplace
in the consulting room.

PRECIS:
Expert Systems have applications beyond medicine. For instance, Schlumberger, an oil-exploration
company, uses them to predict drilling conditions. Stanford University has programs like DENDRAL for
building molecular models. Parallel computers with artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities can make
decisions, use deductive logic, and offer constructive criticism. Japan's Institute for New Generation
Computer Technology aims to create machines that mimic human thought patterns and enable
intelligent robots. Expert Systems, which contain facts used by human experts, are already widely
used. The next generation of computers will process data in parallel, resembling the human brain. The
University of Pittsburgh has a computer, INTERNIST that diagnoses illnesses by matching symptoms
with likely diseases. Computer-aided diagnosis may become commonplace in the future.
