Alexander Graham Bell (March 3, 1847 – August 2, 1922) was an eminent scientist,
inventor, engineer and innovator who is credited with inventing the first practical telephone.
Bell’s father, grandfather, and brother had all been associated with work on elocution and
speech, and both his mother and wife were deaf, profoundly influencing Bell’s life’s work. His
research on hearing and speech further led him to experiment with hearing devices which
eventually culminated in Bell being awarded the first US patent for the telephone in 1876. In
retrospect, Bell considered his most famous invention an intrusion on his real work as a scientist
and refused to have a telephone in his study.
Many other inventions marked Bell’s later life, including groundbreaking work in optical
telecom- munications, hydrofoils and aeronautics. In 1888, Bell became one of the founding
members of the National Geographic Society. He has been described as one of the most
influential figures in human history.
As a young child, Bell, like his brothers, received his early schooling at home from his
father. At an early age, however, he was enrolled at the Royal High School, Edinburgh, Scotland,
which he left at age 15, completing only the first four forms. His school record was
undistinguished, marked by absenteeism and lackluster grades. His main interest remained in
the sciences, especially biology, while he treated other school subjects with indifference, to the
dismay of his demanding father. Upon leaving school, Bell travelled to London to live with his
grandfather, Alexander Bell. During the year he spent with his grandfather, a love of learning
was born, with long hours spent in serious discussion and study.

This following text is for question number 28-30

Long ago, there lived three brothers. They had a small firm and little cottage, in which they
lived. The eldest brother, Tanyen, worked hard in the firm while his lazy and selfish brothers,
Zhoshu and Penhun, ate and slept all day. It was difficult to meet the needs of the family with
the meager income that Tanyen said to his brothers, 'It's not possible to carry on like this,
brothers! I will go out, seek my fortune, and become rich so I can provide for both of you."
Zhoshu and Penhun didn't like the idea. "Why should Tanyen become rich?" they said each
other, "We should go out and seek our fortune too!"

So, the selfish brothers devised a plan and went to Tanyen. "Brother! I have realized my
responsibilities," said Zhoshu. three brothers"I will go out, seek my fortune and become rich
so I can share your burden." "As you wish, dear Zhoshu!" smiled Tanyen. That day at
breakfast, Zhoshu pretended to be very loving and caring. "Eat well, Penhun," he said, "and
don't worry; I shall soon return rich!" He then took leave of his brothers and started on his
journey. He kept walking throughout the day. By late evening, hungry and tired, he reached
another village. He went up to a hut and knocked at the door. An old woman answered,
"Who's there?"

"I'm a traveler," Zhoshu replied. "Can I stay here for the night?" "Only if you remove all the
stars from that pool!" said the old woman, pointing to a pool of water.

Zhoshu thought, "How can I remove those stars? They are nothing but a reflection of the
sky!" Puzzled and exhausted, he returned home and said to his family, "I couldn't find my
fortune anywhere!"

Next, Penhun decided to try his luck and left home. Wandering, he too reached the old
woman's hut and was asked to fish out the stars from the pool. "How is that possible?" he
thought and returned home. "Nowhere could I find my fortune!" he said sadly.

Now it was Tenyan's turn. When he reached the old woman's hut, he too was asked to perform
the same task. He humbly asked for a bucket, which the old woman gave him. Tanyen waded
into the pool and began to throw out bucketfuls of water. He worked hard all night, until the
pool was completely dry.

In the morning when the old woman came out of her hut, Tanyen showed her the dry pit and
said, "I have removed all the stars, O good mother!" The old woman was pleased. She led
him to a huge farm and said, "This is your reward. From today, you are the owner of this
farm!" Tanyen thanked the old woman and returned home a rich man.

"I have found my fortune!" he announced." But where?" asked his brother's. "I found it in my
own hands!" replied Tanyen. He then told them all that had happened. His lazy brothers
resolved to work hard from that day. And they lived happily for the rest of their lives.

This following text is for question number 31-33


Lemurs are mammals known for their large eyes and monkey-like bodies. They
belong to the group of animals called primates, along with lorises, tarsiers, monkeys, apes
and humans. There are about 18 species, or types, of animal in the lemur family. The name
lemur comes from the Latin word lemures, meaning ‘ghosts', because of the silent, ghost-
like way they move.
Lemurs are found only on Madagascar and the Comoro Islands off the east coast of
Africa. About 15 types of lemur live in Madagascar. Most lemurs live in trees in forests. But
the ring-tailed lemur lives in rocky desert areas.
Most lemurs have fox-like faces and long back legs. They range in length
(excluding the tail) from about 5 inches in the dwarf lemur to about 27.5 inches in the
indris. The bushy tails of lemurs may be longer than their bodies. But the indri has a very
short tail. The ring-tailed lemur is the only lemur with a striped tail. The tails are not
prehensile, meaning that the lemurs cannot use them to hang from trees as some monkeys
can. Most lemurs have a woolly coat that is mainly reddish, gray, brown or black.
Most lemurs live in groups. Their diet includes fruits, leaves, buds, insects and
small birds and birds' eggs. Mouse and dwarf lemurs store fat in their rump and tail and
sleep during the dry season.
Lemurs are less intelligent than monkeys, but they have a better sense of smell.
They are gentle, friendly animals. Some species live in groups of ten or more. Most are
active at night and sleep during the day. Lemurs usually give birth to a single young one.
The baby lemur clings to its mother's underside until it is old enough to ride on her back.
Loggers and farmers have cut down many trees where lemurs lived. Several
species are now endangered, or at risk of dying out completely.

This following text is for question number 44-46

Aloe arborescens is a multi-stemmed aloe with thick, yellow-green leaves. The leaves are
usually sharply toothed on the margins and are very juicy with a yellowish, slimy sap. The sap has
been used to treat stomach ailments for many centuries.
The leaves also store water to enable the plant to survive drought. One to four dense spikes of
coral red flowers appear from May to July. The flowers are carried on stout stems and are more or
less tubular in shape. Most aloes are important foodplants for sunbirds which visit the flowers in
search of nectar and in the process pollinate them.
As the name implies the Krantz Aloe grows mostly on cliffs and rocks – but it is also found
in dense bush areas. It is one of the few Aloe species that is found on the coast and in the mountains
and is widely distributed across South Africa into Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi.
The bitter juice of the Aloe leaf was only used by tribal people to cure a variety of ills, but
over the past decades western medicine is discovering the healing properties of the Aloe plant.
The healing powers of the plant really came to the fore after the atomic bombs of WWII
when burn victims were treated with Aloe concoctions.

Gedung Sate is the popular name for the governor's office of West Java province. It
is one of the landmark buildings of Bandung and has become an icon for the city. It was
designed by Dutch architect J.Gerber. Work on the building was began in 1920 and it was
completed in 1922. This massive structure is still an imposing sight today. It is the
centrepiece of a large complex of government buildings set on a public square. It is one of
the most magnificent colonial buildings in all Indonesia.
Gedung Sate literally means 'Satay Building'. The name is a reference to the metal
spike on the roof which reminded locals of a satay skewer. For anyone interested in
architecture, it is one of the most unmissable sights in Java. It was an innovative design in
1920 for a number of reasons. It was the first building in Indonesia to use reinforced
concrete technology. Artistically, it was even more significant. It was one of the first
buildings to combine Indonesian and European styles of architecture to create the 'Indo-
Deutsch' style. It has a tiered, wooden roof, like a Javanese mosque. The main motif on the
front of the building is a stylised Javanese temple. The extensive use of dark timber for the
roofing is a conscious reference to local architectural styles. Yet the brilliant white of the
main structure with its bold arches mark it out as very much a Dutch building. Gedung Sate
is impressive in both its huge scale and also in its attention to small details. The window
niches and the wooden eaves both feature beautiful and intricate decoration. Any lover of
architecture should not miss this building.
