Once there was a wise King. He had two sons. He appointed aminent scholars to teach them all
arts. After a few years, The King fell ill badly. So he wanted to select the next king for his kingdom. He
wanted to test his sons’ abilities.
He called both of them and gave them a room to each one. He said, “You must fill your room
completely with anything you wish. It can be anything! But there should not be any space left behind
and you should not seek advice from other!"
The next day, the king visited the elder son’s room. The room was completely filed with hay. The
king sighed on the foolishness of the elder son.
He went to the room given to the younger son. But it was kept closed. The King knocked at the
door. The younger son asked his father to get in and closed the door again. There was darkness
everywhere and the king shouted at his son angrily.
But the younger son lighted a candle and said, “I have filled this room with light!" Now the king

Early one morning a hungry Wolf was prowling around a cottage at the edge of a village,
when he heard a child crying in the house. Then he heard the Mother’s voice say:
“Hush, child, hush! Stop your crying, or I will give you to the Wolf!”
Surprised but delighted at the prospect of so delicious a meal, the Wolf settled down under
an open window, expecting every moment to have the child handed out to him. But though
the little one continued to fret, the Wolf waited all day in vain. Then, toward nightfall, he

to sleep.
“There, child, there! The Wolf shall not get you. No, no! Daddy is watching and Daddy

The questions number 17-18 are based on the following passage.

Feline chlamydial conjunctivitis is an infection caused by a bacterial organism

(called Chlamydophila felis). The most common signs of chlamydia in cats involve the eyes or the upper
respiratory tract (nose or throat), and only when infection is not treated does it spread to the lungs. Because
chlamydia lives inside cells of the body and is not able to survive for long in the environment, spread of
infection relies on direct or close contact with an infected cat. Following infection, the incubation period (the
time between infection and development of clinical signs of disease) is between three and ten days.
The bacteria primarily infects the conjunctiva, which are the delicate membranes lining the eyelids
and covering the edges of the eyeballs. The infection causes inflammation known as conjunctivitis. In
normal cats, the conjunctiva is not readily visible and has a pale, salmon pink color. In cats with
conjunctivitis, the conjunctiva becomes swollen and red, making it more visible. The nictitating membrane
or third eyelid in the inner corner of the eye may protrude partially across the eye. One or both eyes may be
involved.
Affected cats initially develop a watery discharge from the eyes that quickly becomes thicker and is
usually a yellow or greenish color. The eyes are uncomfortable and cats often keep the affected eye(s)
closed. Many cats remain bright and otherwise appear normal, but some may develop a fever or lose their
appetite. After one or two days, sniffles and sneezing may also occur. In kittens, the infection may spread to
the lungs and cause fatal pneumonia.

People who stay in education for longer appear to have better ability to compensate for the effects of
dementia on the brain, a study suggests. A UK and Finnish team found those with more education were as
likely to show the signs of dementia in their brains at death as those with less. But they were less likely to
have displayed symptoms during their lifetime, the study in brain said.Experts said scientists now had to find
out why the effect occurred.
Over the past decade, studies on dementia have consistently shown that the more time someone
spends in education, the lower the risk of dementia will be. But studies have been unable to show whether or
not education—which is linked to higher socio-economic status and healthier lifestyles—protects the brain
against dementia.
The researchers in this study examined the brains of 872 people who had been part of three large
ageing studies. Before their deaths they had also completed questionnaires about their education. The
researchers found that more education makes people better able to cope with changes in the brain associated
with dementia. It also showed that for each year spent in education, there was an 1% decreased risk of
developing dementia.
In addition, the researchers used data from the Eclipse collaboration, which combines the three
European population-based longitudinal studies of ageing from the UK and Finland which have assessed
people for up to 20 years. Thisis the largest study ever to confirm that hitting the books could help people
fight the symptoms of dementia in later life. What is not known is why a longer education is so good for
people. Another reason could be that educated people find ways of managing or hiding their symptoms.
What is needed now is more research to find out why an education can make the brain more 'dementia
resistant'.
Rebecca Wood, chief executive of the Alzheimer's Research Trust, said: "During dementia, proteins build
up in the brain and nerve cells become damaged. This research suggests that education is not able to stop the
damage but enables the brain to cope better and alleviate its impact".
