Q1.Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

In this age of texts and tweets, it is easy to send

messages. You just press a few buttons, and boom!

Your message is sent. The person to whom you

sent it will get it in just a few seconds. Distance is

no longer an issue. But things weren't always so

easy.

In 1848 gold was found in California. Thousands

of people rushed there to get some. Many people

liked living there and decided to stay. But there

wasn't a whole lot between California and

Missouri, where the nearest trains ran. The train

line to California wasn't finished until 1869. It

took a long time to ride a horse to Missouri.

Imagine that it is the year 1860. You have moved

to California to open a shop. Most of your family

stayed back East. Your shop is doing well and now

you want to your family to join you. How do you

get news to them? There's no phone, no train, and

you can't leave your shop for too long. What do

you do? Well, you could use the Pony Express.

In 1860 and 1861, the Pony Express was the

fastest way to get news to and from the West. The

trail that they rode was around 2000 miles long. It

took most people weeks or months to ride that far.

The Pony Express could make the trip in just ten

days. Those speeds were unheard of at the time. So

how did they do it? Well, they had a good system.

The Pony Express had 184 stations along the trail.

The stations were around ten miles apart. This is

about how far a horse could run at a gallop before

tiring. The rider would switch to a new horse at

each station. He would only take his mail pouch

with him. Every 75-100 miles, the rider would get

to a home station. At each home station, riders

would rest. Before resting, he would give his mail

pouch to a new rider. The mail never stopped

moving, even while the horses and riders rested.

It was tough to ride for the Pony Express. Each

rider had to weigh less than 125 pounds. Speed

was the key. Most of the riders were teenage boys.

They rode at a fast pace for up to 100 miles a day.

If there were an emergency, one might have to ride

200 miles in a day. The ride could be rough and

dangerous. Attacks by Native Americans were

common. But in its time running, the Pony

Express only lost one mail pouch.

The Pony Express filled an important role for a

time, but it did not last. The Civil War started in

April of 1861. This was bad news for the owners.

The worst for them was yet to come. On October

24th, 1861, the first telegraph line to California

was finished. This linked them to the rest of the

country. People could send messages in an instant.

Two days later the Pony Express closed. But the

lore of the brave riders lives on even today.

SECTION A READING

Q1. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

If you plan on going to Hawaii, don't bring any

pets. Hawaiians are wary of letting in foreign

animals. Your beloved Rex or Fi-fi could spend up

to 120 days in quarantine. They have strict rules

for importing animals. They carefully screen all

incoming pets. Who could blame them? They've

had problems with new animals in the past.

The black rat was introduced to Hawaii in the

1780s. These ugly suckers originated in Asia, but

they migrated to Europe in the 1st century. Since

then they've snuck on European ships and voyaged

the world with them. These rats carry many

diseases including the plague. They are also good

at surviving and tend to displace native species.

That means that after they infest an area, there will

be fewer birds and more black rats. Most people

prefer living around birds.

Since their arrival in Hawaii, black rats have been

pests. They've feasted on sea turtle eggs. They've

eaten tree saplings, preventing trees from being

reforested. And they've been a leading cause in

the extinction of more than 70 species of Hawaiian

birds. They love to climb trees to eat bird eggs.

They also compete with forest birds for food, such

as snails, insects, and seeds.

Perhaps more troubling, black rats threaten

humans. They spread germs and incubate disease.

They are a vector for more than 40 deadly

illnesses. Some think that rat-borne diseases have

killed more people than war in the last 1,000 years.

Rats also eat our food. They eat more than 20% of

the world's farmed food. And that's why the

mongoose was brought to Hawaii.

During the mid 1800s, the Hawaiian sugar

industry was thriving. Americans were just

realizing that they loved sugar. Hawaii was pretty

much the only place in America where one could

grow sugarcane. But those filthy vermin were

tearing up the fields. Black rats were destroying

entire crops. What's a plantation owner to do? The

answer is simple. Import an animal known to kill

rats. What could go wrong with that? In 1883

plantation owners imported 72 mongooses and

began breeding them.

People revere the mongoose in its homeland of

India. They are often kept tame in Indian

households. Mongooses feed on snakes, rats, and

lizards, creatures that most people dislike. They

are also cute and furry. And they kill deadly

cobras. What's not to love? Sadly, India is a much

different place than Hawaii.

When the mongooses got to Hawaii, they did not

wipe out the rats as plantation owners hoped.

Instead, they joined them in ravaging the birds,

lizards, and small plants that were native to

Hawaii. It's not that the mongooses became friends

with the rats. They still ate a bunch of them. But

mongooses are not too different from most other

animals: they go for the easy meal. In Hawaii they

had a choice. Pursue the elusive black rat or

munch on turtle eggs while tanning on the beach.

Most took the easy route.

Now Hawaii has two unwanted guests defacing the

natural beauty. The Hawaiians have learned their

lesson. Talks of bringing in mongoose-eating

gorillas have been tabled. So don't get uptight

when they don't welcome your cat Mittens wiopen

arms. They're trying to maintain a delicate

ecosystem here.
