Read the passage to answer the question:The names of three men - an Englishman, a German, and an Italian stand out from the many who have opened up for us this new path of progress: James Clerk Maxwell, Heinrich Hertz, and Guglielmo Marconi Maxwell prophesied wireless, discovering its principles. Hertz discovered and demonstrated those waves which are its secret, and Marconi invented the instruments which put these ideas to practical use. A crowd of other brilliant men have made their different contributions. Sir Oliver Lodge came very near to doing what Marconi did; indeed, a year before Marconi invented his instrument, Lodge demonstrated the possibility of sending a signal by these Hertzian waves but turned aside under pressure from other work. Professor Righi, Marconi's science master, experimented in the laboratory and showed young Marconi the potentialities Oliver Heaviside, the English telegraphic engineer, subsequently revealed to us the amazing fact that these wireless waves are thrown back to the earth from the two curious 'mirrors' which, moving in the depth of the sky hundreds of miles from the surface of the earth, act as a kind of double sounding board. These are but a few of the men whose work all over the earth has brought the miracle of wireless to its present stage. But the three names stand pre-eminent.Which of the following could be the best title of the paragraph?

Read the passage to answer the question:What is life? A little scum of no importance on the surface of an unimportant globe circling round a second-rate star? An accidental conglomeration of atoms which have come together by an odd chance, the result of an exceedingly improbable happening? That is what some astronomers would have us think. Looking out into the depth of space, they have discovered a universe of unthinkable dimensions. A billion suns in our own galaxy, beyond it perhaps a billion galaxies, only revealed to us as tiny smudges on a photographic plate. No wonder they are impressed by the enormous disparity between the scaffolding and the result. Life seemed to be, as Jeans said, 'an utterly unimportant by-product' in a universe which was clearly not designed for life, and which, to all appearances, is either totally indifferent or definitely hostile to it'. It seemed 'incredible that the universe can have been designed primarily to produce life like our own; had it been so, surely we have might expected to find a a better proportion between the magnitude of the mechanism and the amount of the product.According to the author if the universe had been designed primarily to produce life like our own then:

Questions 9-10 are based on the following passage. However, it must be recognized that science has its limitations. Its methods apply only to those things which can be observed, measured, and treated mathematically. It has nothing to do with values- save those of truth and accuracy. It has nothing to do with happiness, goodness, beauty, courage, adventure, justice, altruism, friendship, love of family, and love of country. Yet all these values enter into a man's conception of what is a good personal life within a good society. Honest and intelligent men can differ profoundly on the nature of these values and their respective degrees of importance. Hence the contrast between the modern world's command of material things and its tragic failure to organize a harmonious world society.According to the paragraph, science applies certain values, which of the following describes these values?

Read the passage and answer the following question:"What a silly boy you are!" cried the miller. "I really don't know what is the use of sending you to school. You seem not to learn anything. If little Hans came up here and saw our warm fire, our good supper, and our great cask of red wine, he might get envious. Envy is the most terrible thing and would spoil anybody's nature. I certainly will not allow Hans's nature to be spoiled. I am his best friend, and I will always watch over him, and see that he is not led into any temptations. Besides, if Hans came here, he might ask me to let him have some flour on credit, and that I could not do. Flour is one thing and friendship is another and they should not be confused. Why? The words are spelled differently and mean quite different things. Everybody can see that." What does the statement " Flour is one thing, and friendship is another" tell about the nature of Miller?
