Direction : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.
Certain words /phrases have been printed in bold to help you locate them while answering
some of the questions.

Some inventions, like some species, seem to make periodic leaps in progress. The car
is one of them. Twenty-five years elapsed between Kari Benz beginning small-scale
production of his original Motorwagen and the breakthrough, by Henry Ford and his

engineers in 1913, that turned the car into the ubiquitous, mass-market item that has defined
the modem urban landscape. By putting production of the Model T on moving assembly lines
set into the floor of his factory in Detroit, Ford drastically cut the time needed to build it, and
hence its cost. Thus began a revolution in personal mobility. Almost a billion cars now roll
along the world's highways.

Today the car seems poised for another burst of evolution. One way in which it is
changing relates to its emissions. As emerging markets grow richer, legions of new
consumers are clamouring for their first set of wheels. For the whole world to catch up with
American levels of car ownership, the global fleet would have to quadruple. Even a fraction
of that growth would present fearsome challenges, from congestion and the price of fuel to
pollution and global warming.

Yet, as our special report this week argues, stricter regulations and smarter technology
are making cars cleaner, more fuel- efficient and safer than ever before. China, its cities
choked in smog, is following Europe in imposing curbs on emissions of noxious nitrogen
oxides and fine soot particles. Regulators in most big car markets are demanding deep cuts in
the carbon dioxide emitted from car exhausts. And carmakers are being remarkably inventive
in finding ways to comply.

Granted, battery-powered cars have disappointed. They remain expensive, lack range
and are sometimes dirtier than they look-for example, if they run on electricity from coal-
fired power stations. But car companies are investing heavily in other clean technologies.
Future motorists will have a widening choice of super-efficient petrol and diesel cars, hybrids
(which switch between batteries and an internal-combustion engine) and models that run on
natural gas or hydrogen. As for the purely electric car, its time will doubtless come.

Meanwhile, a variety of "driver assistance" technologies are appearing on new cars,
which will not only take a lot of the stress out of driving in traffic but also prevent many
accidents. More and more new cars can reverse-park, read traffic signs, maintain a safe
distance in steady traffic and brake automatically to avoid crashes. Some carmakers are
promising technology that detects pedestrians and cyclists, again overruling the driver and
stopping the vehicle before it hits them. A number of firms, including Google, are busy trying
to take driver assistance to its logical conclusion by creating cars that drive themselves to a
chosen destination without a human at the controls. This is where it gets exciting.

Sergey Brin, a co-founder of Google, predicts that driverless cars will be ready for
sale to customers within five years. That may be optimistic, but the prototypes that Google
already uses to ferry its staff (and a recent visitor from The Economist) along Californian
freeways are impressive. Google is seeking to offer the world a driverless car built from
scratch, but it is more likely to evolve, and be accepted by drivers, in stages.

If and when cars go completely driverless, the benefits will be enormous. Huge
numbers of elderly and disabled people could regain their personal mobility. The young will
not have to pay crippling motor insurance, because their reckless hands and feet will no

longer touch the wheel or the accelerator. Driverless cars should also ease congestion and
save fuel. Computers brake faster than humans.

If the notion that the driverless car is round the corner sounds far-fetched, remember
that TV and heavier-than-air flying machines once did, too. One day people may wonder why
earlier generations ever entrusted machines as dangerous as cars to operators as fallible as
humans.

Direction : Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below it.

For too long, humankind has taken for granted the antibiotics that have held dangerous germs
at bay. It was only about 70 years ago that penicillin, the world's first antibiotic, came into
widespread use and revolutionised medicine. Its discoverer, Alexander Fleming, who won the
Nobel Prize for his work, presciently warned that disease-causing organisms would become
resistant if the drug was improperly used. And that is just what has transpired. Although more
antibiotics were subsequently discovered, these drugs have been given with such profligacy
that pathogens resistant to them have evolved and spread with alarming rapidity. 'Superbugs'
resistant to almost all antibiotics have become a problem, raising worries of a return to the
bad old days if much greater care was not exercised when prescribing existing drugs and
sufficient encouragement for finding new ones was lacking. Now, with its first global report
on antimicrobial resistance, the World Health Organization has added its voice to the chorus
of concern. The report has documented how bacterial resistance to antibiotics, including those
of last resort, is a major health issue confronting all regions of the world. Without urgent,
coordinated action, "the world is headed for a post-antibiotic era in which common infections
and minor injuries, which have been treatable for decades, can once again kill.

For India preventing antibiotic resistance from spiraling has to be a matter of urgency.
Halting the indiscriminate use of antibiotics is vital. The Union Government has taken an
important first step in that direction by introducing a stringent rule that prohibits medical
stores from selling 24 key antibiotics without a doctor's prescription. Much more needs to be
done, including getting doctors to prescribe antibiotics only when essential. Hospitals must
pay attention to proper infection control. In a country so large and populous, with widely
differing levels of healthcare reach, curbing the rise of antibiotic resistance is not easy. But it
must be done.
