Our body is a wondrous mechanism and when subjected to unusual stress over a period of time, it adapts itself to deal more effectively with that stress. Therefore, when you exert your muscles against resistance, they forced to adapt and deal with this extraordinary workload, This is the principle of weight training, Strands of muscle fibres become thicker and stronger in response to the demands placed on them. One of the great merits of weight training is the strength of your heart.

In time, your heart, like your body, will adapt to this extra-workload by becoming stronger and more efficient. Since your body needs a given amount of blood to perform its daily tasks, your heart will now need fewer beats to pump the same quantity of blood. Sounds good ? There's more. Your entire circulatory system is given a thorough workout every time you exercise, which increases its overall efficiency. Even the neural paths from your brain's command centers to each individual muscle become more effective , enabling easier recruitment of muscle fibres for carrying out physical tasks.

61. Directions - Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow ( Q. No. 1 to 9 ) by selection the most appropriate option.

Anaesthesia in any part of the body means a loss of sensation, either permanent or temporary. The term is usually used to describe the artificially produced loss of sensation which makes a surgical operation painless. There are four main types of anaesthesia : general , spinal , regional , and local. Anaesthetics may be given as gases , by inhalation; or as drugs injected into a vein, A patient given general anaesthesia loses consciousness. Anaesthesia of a fairly large area

of the body results from injecting the anaesthetic drug into the spinal canal : all that portion of the body below the level at which the drug is injected is anaesthetized. Regional anaesthesia is the injecting of the nerves as they emerge from the spinal column : the anaesthesia induced by this method affects only that area of the body supplied by those nerves , In local anaesthesia, the drug is injected directly at the site of the operative incision and sometimes also into the nearby surrounding tissues . Formerly the most commonly used local anaesthetic was cocaine, a drug extracted from the leaves of the coca bush and introduced in 1879. But cocaine has some disadvantages and, sometimes, undesirable side-effects. For spinal, regional and local anaesthesia, procaine, or one of the several modifications of procaine, is now widely used instead of cocaine, for very limited and short operations., such as opening a small abscess, local anaesthesia may be induced by spraying (rather than injecting) a chemical, ethyl chloride, on a small area of the skin; in changing from the liquid to the gaseous state, this drug freezes the area sprayed, and permits painless incision.

70. Directions - Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow ( Q. No. 10 to

The farmer is up before dawn on shearing-day, driving his flock into pens. By eight

o'clock the shearers arrive and, after a hearty breakfast, they take their places on long

benches that the farmer has improvised in the pens. Shears are taken from leather cases

and sharpened with whetstones; a fire is lighted to heat pitch for the making; and the

work begins

Soon the shearers fall into their routine. A lad seizes a sheep from the pen and ties its

feet - not with a cord, because that might injure it, but with a strip of sacking. The sheep

is carried to the benches, and the shearer begins to slice off the wool. First he shears the

coarse wool from the sheep's belly, then lays the animal on its side on the bench

between his legs while he snips at the curly wool round the neck. He works to and fro

along the ribs, peeling the wool back until it hangs like a cloak doubled back over the

animal. Then he turns the sheep over and begins on the unclipped side. In a few

moments the whole fleece falls away in one piece, looking like a dirty grey rug. A few

more snips from the shears and the wool is cut from either side of the sheep's tail,

leaving the animal white and naked. The shearer pushes the sheep to the ground and

immediately calls for another animal. Meanwhile the lad daubs the farmer's mark in

pitch on the newly shorn sheep, unties her legs, and drives her out of the shearing pens.

A second lad - the farmer's son - seizes the fleece as it is tossed aside, rolls it up , tucking

the tail-wool in first, and secures the bundle by knotting the neck. Any loose clippings

are gathered separately.

The work continues till one o'clock, when the farmer's wife summons the men to dinner,

each man finishes the sheep that is beside him, then the whole party goes back to the

farm house, The men troop into the farm kitchen, leaving their dogs to scuffle in the

yard. After the shortest if dinner-breaks - for there is much to be done - the shearing

continues, and the pile of fleeces mounts

John Ruskin says, “All books are divisible into two classes, the books of the hour and the

books of all time.”

virtually forgotten. Take for example, ‘detective’ novels. We may not have heard about

which people praise but don’t read.”

Books are good companions and good counsellors. They are like good friends. As a good

friend walks in when others walk out, books also walk in to console you. They offer the
