Read the following passage and answer the questions.

Passage:
As a toddler growing up in the 1950s. Richard Wawro threw violent tantnuns. Often, he would tap the same piano key
for long stretches of time. When he was three, his parents took him for testing at a nearby hospital. They were told
that he was moderately to severely retarded. His family, however, never believed that his IQ was as low as the experts
claimed. A special education teacher began working with Richard when he was six She introduced him to drawing with
crayons, which he took to quickly. He began filling sketchbooks (and the wallpaper of his Scotland home) with
startlingly accurate depictions of cartoon characters like Yogi Bear. When Richard was 12. his artwork astounded a

visiting artist who said that his drawings were created "with the precision of a mechanic and the vision of a poet."
Richard could never read or write well. His speech remained limited. But his involvement with the art world spurred his
social development. He participated in dozens of exhibitions and became a well-known artist. His artwork was
celebrated by the media and in a documentary. "With Eyes Wide Open." Both Margaret Thatcher and Pope John Paul II
owned Wawro's oritaials.
Richard was a savant, an individual with a spike in a particular ability combined with an impairment or disability. In
Richard's case, that underlying condition was autism. Autism is a condition characterized by social and conununication
challenges, like difficulty making eye contact or making conversation, along with repetitive behaviors or intense
interests. It turns out that many savants have autism. But when the astounding abilities are there. they are often
rooted in extreme memory, excellent attention to detail and passionate interests — traits also linked to autism. In
many ways, prodigies look a lot like savants. They have the same preternatural abilities. They have the same prolific
output. But there's a key difference between the two. While in savants, these extreme abilities are paired with an
underlying impairment or disability, prodigies don't typically have any such disability. Even though prodigies are not
typically autistic, they have the same excellent memories, extreme attention to detail, and passionate interests linked
to autism and autistic savants.

Passage:
A new paper published by Rochman and her colleagues in February, in the journal Ecology, sifts through past research
on marine debris to assess the true extent of the environmental threat. Plenty of studies have sounded alarm bells
about the state of marine debris: Rochman and her colleagues set out to determine how many of those perceived risks
are real Often. Rochman says, scientists will wrap up a paper by speculating about the broader impacts of what
they've found. Maybe their study has shown that certain seabirds eat plastic bags, for example, and the paper goes on
to warn that whole bird populations are at risk of dying out. "But the truth was that nobody had yet tested those
perceived threats." Rochman says. "There wasn't a lot of information." Rochman and her colleagues examined more
than a hundred papers on the impacts of marine debris that were published through 2013. Within each paper. they
asked what threats scientists had studied-366 perceived threats in all and what they'd actually found. In 83 percent of
cases, the perceived dangers of ocean trash were proven true. In most of the remaining cases. the working group
found the studies too shoddy to draw conclusions from—they lacked a control group, for example. or used faulty
statistics.
Strikingly. Rochman says, only one well-designed study failed to find the effect it was looking for, an investigation of
m
mussels ingesting microscopic plastic bits. The plastic moved from the mussels' stomachs to their b oodstreams.
scientists found. and stayed there for weeks—but didn't seem to stress out the shellfish. A lot of oce n deb is is
"microplastic," or pieces smaller than five millimetres. These may be the beads from a facial scrub fibres shed by
synthetic clothing in the wash. or eroded remnants of larger debris. Compared to the number of stu ies investigating
co
large-scale debris. Roclunan's group found little research on the effects of these tiny bit . There are also, she adds, a
lot of open questions about the ways that ocean debris can lead to sea-creature death. Many studies have looked at
how plastic affects an individual animal or that animal's tissues or cells, rather than whole populations. And in the lab,
scientists often use higher concentrations of plastic than what's really in the ocea None of that tells us how many
e.
birds or fish or sea turtles could die form plastic pollution or how deaths in on species could affect that animal's
predators, or the rest of the ecosystem. "We need to be asking more ecologica y rel vant questions." Rothman says.
Usually, scientists don't know how disasters like oil spills or nuclear meltdowns will affect the environment until after
m
they've happened. she says. "We don't ask the right questions early enough." But if ecologists can understand how the
slow-moving disaster of ocean garbage is affecting ecosystems. they might be able to prevent things from getting
worse.

Passage:
Where is this going?' That is the question at the heart of River of Life River of Death, as author Victor Mallet travels
ro
the length of the Ganges. Beginning at its ice cave source n the Himalayan foothills. he follows the water through the
holy confluence at Allahabad. the spindly banks of Var asi city and onwards to the delta in Bangladesh. where 'in its
parting gift to the land. the river spews millions of t ns of f rtile silt on to the rice fields of Bengal and the mangroves
ch
of the Sundarbans.'
It is the same question he asks about the treatment of the Ganges. both good and bad. The river leads a double life.
being the most worshipped waterway in the wo ld an also one of the most polluted. The Ganges and its tributaries
are now subject to sewage pollution tha is half a million times over the Indian recommended limit for bathing' in
.jk
places. not to mention the unchecked runo f from heavy metals, fertilizers. carcinogens and the occasional corpse.
As Mallet observes. the danger of contaminat on does not put off the millions of revellers at Kuinbh Mela. It is a Hindu
pilgrimage 'thought to be the largest gathe ing of people anywhere'. described to him as 'a spiritual expo... where you
will be talking one moment to a visiting Mumbai businessman and the next to a marijuana-stoned yogi. He suggests
the pollution might never dete th m. He is told by one bather: 'we do believe that anyone who takes in this water. he
w
becomes pure also. because i i always pure.' There is a collective sense that the spirit of the Ganges is so sacred that
she can never be spo led.
w
He informs the reader n th preface — 'almost everyone knows the problems are real'. His journey down the Ganges is
one of investigat on rather than discovery. Mallet investigates the potential of the river to become a cradle for
antibiotic-res tan infections — or superbugs' — that could be exported to other regions by global travel. He points out
w
that some 450 mill n people depend on the Ganges water basin for survival, and many more for its religious and
cultural impor ance. The Ganges is a goddess and a mother to everyone from the politician in the north, to the
humblest Hindu living in the far south or running a motel in the United States.
There is hope. Mallet draws some parallels to clean-ups of the Rhine and the Thames. He points to the design feat of
Ktunbh Mela, which as 'a pop-up megacity' for two million pilgrims has better infrastructure and waste treatment than
many Indian cities. 'In the minds of both Indians and foreigners. this raises important questions... if the authorities can
