Unit III
Paraphrase the paragraphs:                                                                                    5 marks each
1.      The koala bear of Australia is a living “Teddy Bear.” Its thick coat of gray fur is just as soft as the beloved toy. The koala has a large head, big ears and small, dark eyes that look at you without expression. Its nose, as black as patent leather, seems too big for the rest of its face. The koala is a gentle little animal. It is almost defenseless. Only its color protects it from enemies. The koala makes no nest. It just sits in the forked branches of a tree. Unlike a bird, it cannot balance itself with its tail—because it has no tail. It likes gum trees the best because it loves entirely on the leaves of the tree. Sometimes the supply of its special diet is used up. The koala, rather than seek food elsewhere, will stay in its own area and starve to death.

2.      In 1610, Galileo Galilei published a small book describing astronomical observations that he had made of the skies above Padua. His homemade telescopes had less magnifying and resolving power than most beginners’ telescopes sold today, yet with them he made astonishing discoveries: that the moon has mountains and other topographical features; that Jupiter is orbited by satellites, which he called planets; and that the Milky Way is made up of individual stars.
3.      Language is the main means of communication between peoples. But so many different
languages have developed that language has often been a barrier rather than an aid to understanding among peoples. For many years, people have dreamed of setting up an international universal language which all people are simple and obvious. If all people spoke the same tongue, cultural and economic ties might be much closer, and good will increase between countries.
4.      New oil supplies need to be found to replace those that have been used up. There is a constant search for new oil fields. Oil hunters sink their wells wherever there are signs of oil. Each of these drillings costs thousands and thousands of dollars, and often there is not enough oil to make it profitable. Nevertheless, the search for new oil never ends.
5.      India may not be in a position to expand the bus fleet to prevent over-crowding. However, in principle, it may be possible to design buses to carry 100 persons safely instead of the present 55 and design them in such a way that people can buy tickets and move through the bus much faster than they do now. Some good designers and operations research experts should be able to come up with a novel design within a period of two or three years if given a proper encouragement.
6.      Australia is a land of contrasts. It is geologically one of the oldest of land masses, yet it ranks as one of the youngest of nations. It is half a world away from Europe, but its people are largely of European descent and they follow a Western lifestyle. One of the most sparsely populated of nations, it is also one of the most highly urbanized with 85% of its people living in cities.
