Response sheet

1.Listen to the passage and type the correct word in the blanks:

The Taj Mahal of Agra is one of the Seven Wonders of the World, for reasons more

than just looking magnificent. It's the history of Taj Mahal that adds a soul to its

magnificence: a soul that is filled with love, loss, remorse, and love again. Because if it was

not for love, the world would have been robbed of a fine example upon which people base

their relationships. An example of how deeply a man loved his wife, that even after she

remained but a memory, he made sure that this memory would never fade away. This man

was the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan, who was head-over-heels in love with Mumtaz

Mahal, his dear wife. She was a Muslim Persian princess (her name Arjumand Banu Begum

before marriage) and he was the son of the Mughal Emperor Jehangir and grandson of

Akbar the Great. It was at the age of 14 that he met Mumtaz and fell in love with her. Five

years later in the year 1612, they got married.

Mumtaz Mahal, an inseparable companion of Shah Jahan, died in 1631, while giving

birth to their 14th child. It was in the memory of his beloved wife that Shah Jahan built a

magnificent monument as a tribute to her, which we today know as the "Taj Mahal". The

construction of Taj Mahal started in the year 1631. Masons, stonecutters, inlayers, carvers,

painters, calligraphers, dome-builders and other artisans were requisitioned from the whole

of the empire and also from Central Asia and Iran, and it took approximately 22 years to

build what we see today. An epitome of love, it made use of the services of 22,000 laborers

and 1,000 elephants. The monument was built entirely out of white marble, which was

brought in from all over India and central Asia. After an expenditure of approximately 32

million rupees (approx US $68000), Taj Mahal was finally completed in the year 1653.

It was soon after the completion of Taj Mahal that Shah Jahan was deposed by his

own son Aurangzeb and was put under house arrest at nearby Agra Fort. Shah Jahan, himself

also, lies entombed in this mausoleum along with his wife. Moving further down the history,

it was at the end of the 19th century that British Viceroy Lord Curzon ordered a sweeping

restoration project, which was completed in 1908, as a measure to restore what was lost

during the Indian rebellion of 1857: Taj being blemished by British soldiers and government

officials who also deprived the monument of its immaculate beauty by chiseling out precious

stones and lapis lazuli from its walls. Also, the British style lawns that we see today adding

on to the beauty of Taj were remodeled around the same time. Despite prevailing

controversies, past and present threats from Indo-Pak war and environmental pollution, this

epitome of love continuous to shine and attract people from all over the world.

Professor Gavraud is an engineer who almost gave up his post at an institute in Marseilles because he always felt ill at work. He decided against leaving when he discovered that the recurrent attacks of nausea only worried him when he was in his office at tha top of the building. Thinking that there must be something in the room that disturbed him, he tried to track it down with devices sensitive to various chemicals, and even with a Geiger counter, but he found nothing until one day, just as he was about to give up, he leaned back against the wall. The whole room was vibrating at a low frequency. The source of this energy turned out to be an air-conditioning plant on the roof of the building across the way, and his office was the right shape and the right distance from the machine to resonate in sympathy with it. It was this rhythm, at seven cycles per second,that made him sick.

Fascinated by the phenomenon, Gavraud decided to build machines to produce infrasound so that he could investigate it further. In casting around for likely designs, he discovered that the whistle with a pea in it issued to all French gendarmes produced a whole range of low-frequency sounds. So he built a police-whisle six feet long and powered it with compressed air. The technician who gave the giant whistle its first trial fell down dead on the spot. A post-mortem revealed that all his internal organs had been mashed into a jelly by the vibrations.

Gavraud went ahead with his work more carefully and did the next test out of doors, with all observers screened from the machine in a concrete shelter. When all was ready, they turned the air on slowly-and broke the windows of every building whithin a half mile of the test sit. Later they learnt to control the strength of the infrasound generator more effectively and desighned a series of smaller machines for experimental work. One of the most interesting discoveries to date is that waves of low-frequency can be aimed and that two generators focused on a particular point even five miles away produce a resonance that can knock a building down as effectively as a major earthquake. These frequency-7 machines can be built very cheaply.



1. Professor Gavraud left his job because he felt sick.(True/False)

2. The cause of the sickness was not in his room.(True/False)

3. The air-conditioning plant had nothing to do with his sickness.(True/False)

a. On the roof of the building

Earth Species

Global warming Crop yields

Greenhouse gases Permafrost

Deforestation Glaciers

Fossil fuels Precipitation

Emissions Scenario

Global warming refers to the rising average temperature of Earth's atmosphere and oceans, which started to increase in the late 19th century and is projected to keep going up. Since the early 20th century, Earth's average surface temperature has increased by about 0.8 °C (1.4 °F), with about two thirds of the increase occurring since 1980.Warming of the climate system is unequivocal, and scientists are more than 90% certain that most of it is caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases produced by human activities such as deforestation and burning fossil fuels. These findings are recognized by the national science academies of all the major industrialized nations.

During the 21st century the global surface temperature is likely to rise a further 1.1 to 2.9 °C (2 to 5.2 °F) for their lowest emissions scenario and 2.4 to 6.4 °C (4.3 to 11.5 °F) for their highest. The ranges of these estimates arise from the use of models with differing sensitivity to greenhouse gas concentrations.

An increase in global temperature will cause sea levels to rise and will change the amount and pattern of precipitation, and a probable expansion of subtropical deserts.Warming is expected to be strongest in the Arctic and would be associated with continuing retreat of glaciers, permafrost and sea ice. Other likely effects of the warming include more frequent occurrence of extreme-weather events including heat waves, droughts and heavy rainfall, species extinctions due to shifting temperature regimes, and changes in crop yields. future global warming should be limited to below 2.0 °C (3.6 °F) relative to the pre-industrial level.

It can be hard to decide which foods to buy in an American grocery stores these days.

The information on many products makes different claims. These labels suggest that the food

is safe, pure or kind to animals.

The label "organic" guarantees that the United States Department of Agriculture

recognizes the product was grown under special conditions. The department says foods that

meet requirements of its National Organic Program can use an official label. It shows the

words "USDA Organic" inside a circle. For example, U.S.D.A. organic food does not contain

genes that have been scientifically changed. The food is grown without chemical treatments

against insects or disease. It is grown without chemical fertilizers.

The U.S.D.A. organic label on meat and dairy products guarantees that they are from

animals that live much of the time outdoors. The animals have been fed only organic food.

The animals have not received antibiotic drugs. And they have not had hormone substances

to make them grow bigger.Organic meat and dairy products usually cost more than other

products. But many people buy them because they believe they are more healthful.

The U.S.D.A. is trying to decide if fish can be labeled "organic." A decision is not

expected for many months. However, the Marine Stewardship Council says its label promises

that fish are not endangered and were caught without harming the local ecosystem.

There are also labels on coffee. Some coffee growers plant their crops on land with no

natural plants to provide shade from the sun. Other coffee is grown under trees that provide

shade for the coffee and homes for birds. This coffee is labeled "Bird Friendly." The

Smithsonian Migratory Bird Council of the National Zoo in Washington, D.C., guarantees

coffee with the "Bird Friendly" label.

Other food labels include "natural," "cage-free" and "free-range." Experts say it may

be harder for the food buyer to decide what these mean. For example, chickens may not have

been raised in a cage. Still, they may have been in overcrowded conditions inside a building.

The Department of Agriculture will be holding meetings with food producers and the

public to try to develop requirements for labels.



1. The label "organic" guarantees that the United States Department of Agriculture

recognizes the product was grown under ordinary conditions (True / False)

2. Organic meat and dairy products usually cost more than other products.(True/False)

investment for the average households. Especially in India-world’s largest consumer of

Gold-gold is considered as one of the safest investments bets for the following reasons:

Firstly, the world is witnessing a sudden spurt in gold prices following the United states war

against Iraq and the rise in price of the crude oil in the International market. Since then, there

has been a sharp rise in the global prices in the global market. The sharp fluctuations from

2003 to the present day has motivated many Indian household make money on their gold.

Secondly, gold is a unique metal with near indestructibility. So, it is safe to invest our money

ornaments and jewellery are exempted from wealth tax and gift tax. Gold ornaments

upto500 grams, in case of a married lady and 100 grams, in case of a male member of the

family are not liable to wealth tax. Even where the jewellery and ornaments are in excess of

limit i.e. Rs.15 lakhs, they will not be seized by the IT department, if they are reasonable

keeping in view the social status of the family and the customs and the practice of the

community. Gold remains an integral of our social and religious customs. Its ductility and

malleability have helped craftsmen to carve exquisite piece of ornaments that ladies prefer to

wear it at functions and social gatherings. So we can safely conclude that gold is apreferable

investment option and it is wise to invest in this unique metal.
