A variety of factors affect the cli- mate one of the main factors is the way the forest is shaped. A large part of the forest is shaped like a shallow dish. The shape is like this because a large number of tributaries to the main river (estimated to be 1100) drain the forest into such depression. Another fac- tor is the amount of water in the forest. The river along with its 1100 tributaries makes a massive lot of water. Other factors to consider include its proximity to the equator and the vast canopy of trees covering the en- tire forest. The climate is like that of any other typical tropical rainforest. It is hot and humid. The temperature is 79º F for the entire year which gets compounded due to the heavy humidity. There are not many seasonal changes in the climate and the temperature too remains the same for pretty much of the year. In fact, the difference between the day and night tempera- tures is greater than the difference between any two seasons. The weather remains the same all year long.

    PASSAGE-2The universe of ours is full of mysteries andin this mystery the rotation of earth alongwith its revolution around the sun is no morea mystery. But along with the rotation andrevolution of the earth, the same activity ofother planets and satellites is still a matterof great research and adventure. Among thenatural satellites, the study of moon is alwaysa subject of great interest. The moon orbits(travels in a circle around) the earth and themoon called gravity. Because of gravity, largerobjects naturally pull smaller ones towardthemselves. Since the earth is larger thanthe moon, the earth pulls the moon. At thesame time, the earth is being pulled by thesun, because the sun is larger than the earth.The balance between these two pulls is whatkeeps the moon in orbit around the earth.Although you hear people all the time sayingthe moon was shining, the moon does notactually have any light of its own. What weseen as its light is really the suns light re-flecting off of the moons surface. As the moonorbits the earth and the earth orbits the sun,we see different amounts of lights reflectingon the moon depending on its position. We callthe changes in the moons appearance lunarphases. From one new moon to the next newmoon is one complete lunar cycle.It takes the moon between 27 and 28 days tocompletely the orbit around the earth. Themoons orbit is measured from one new moonto the next new moon, starting in the westand moving counter-clockwise toward theeast. To complete one full orbit, the moon hasto travel about 1,423,000 miles. Believe it ornot, the moon travels at an average speed of2,288 miles per hour! The force of gravityhelps keep us grounded as the moon rotatesaround us, and we spin and rotate around thesun.10. Which two spheres are being pulled by

    the force of gravity?(a) The earth and the sun

    PASSAGE-3Why is it that in every other sector India is inpar with global standards but not in sports?The answer is both simple and complex. It isonly after the power hungry individuals usetheir might to grab the hot seat that they be-come aware of the enormity of the positionand demands come aware of the enormity ofthe position and demands associated with it.Though it presents them with an opportunityto do same credible work and earn some muchneeded goodwill points yet very soon the real-ization sets in that like any other product orservice administrating and marketing sportsis not a lets-catch-up-over-coffee session buta task requiring full time commitment forwhich they are clearly short on either time orskills or both. They also realize that handlingplayers is a far more challenging man-man-agement exercise than the truckload of sup-porters who are ferried into big cities fromsmall towns for innumerable rallies at the costof a days meal and some country liquor. Theego and the greed of these honorary membersdisallows them to own up to their incapaci-

    ties and that is precisely the point where thecomplications commence and then tricklesdown as a byproduct to the field of play in vari-ous shapes and sizes.To get rid of these pseudo mentality adminis-trators is impossible for that is one of the in-tricacies of Indian market dynamics that canbe a good dissertation topic but what is pos-sible on their part is to separate politics fromoperations. By recruiting professionals underthem who see sport as a product and not as apower flaunting stage and work behind thescenes, the administrators can add a stand-ing to their vision which more often than notcomes under the firing line every time a teamfails and also add some value to the nation.It will enable Indian sports to get rid of themaladies and see a new Sun rise but if themaladies are got rid off will there be any scopefor the power game and its ancillary benefits?The irony will never cease and the youngsports marketing professionals can only livein hope that in the future when this currentbatch of so called caretakers of Indian sportsget wiped off due to still-to-be-forecasted rea-sons then sports can finally prosper just likethe way the current generation has seen iton the television from the clubs of Europe andAmerica.24. The primary purpose of the passage is to

    highlight(i) Enormity of the position of power hun-

    gry individuals and the demands as-sociated with sports.

    (ii)The ego and the greed of these honor-ary members.

    (iii)Sports in India are not at par with glo-bal standards.

    25. What kind of enormity of position anddemands associated with sports is real-ized by the power hungry individuals whouse their might to grab not seat?i. That like any other product or service,

    administering and marketing sportsis not a lets-catch up over coffee ses-sion.

    ii. Its a task requiring full time commit-ment for which they are clearly shorton either time or skills or both.

    PASSAGE-4I am normally said to be free to the degree towhich no human being interferes with myactivity. Political liberty in this sense issimply the area within which a man can actunobstructed by others. If I am prevented byother persons from doing what I couldotherwise do, I am to that degree unfree; andif this area is contracted by other men beyonda certain minimum, can be described by othermen beyond, a certain minimum, can bedescribed as being coerced, or, it may be,enslaved. Coercion is not, however, a termthat covers every form of inability. If I say thatI am unable to jump more than 10 feet in theair, or cannot read because I am blind, orcannot understand the darker pages of Hegel,it would be eccentric to say that I am to thatdegree enslaved or coerced. Coercion impliesthe deliberate interference of other human

    beings within the area in which I couldotherwise act. You lack political liberty orfreedom only if you are prevented fromobtaining a goal by human beings. Mereincapacity to attain a goal is not lack ofpolitical freedom. This is brought out by theuse of such modern expressions as economicfreedom and its counterpart, economicslavery.28.

    crimes, and crimes against humanity (in con-nection with aggression or war crimes). TheNuremberg Tribunal sentenced 12 defendantsto death and five defendants to long sentencesof imprisonment.
