READING
Buying a house is the single largest financial investment an individual makes. Yet, in India this act is fraught
with risk and individuals depend on weak laws for justice. Occasionally, deviant promoters are called to account
as was the case in the detention of Unitech's promoters. This incident shows up the fallout of an absence of
proper regulation to cover contracts between buyers and real estate promoters. A real estate bill, which is
presently pending in Rajya Sabha, seeks to fill this gap. It has been debated for over two years and should be
passed by Parliament in the budget session.
India is in the midst of rapid urbanization and urban population is expected to more than double to about 900
million over the next three decades. Unfortunately, even the current population does not have adequate housing.
A government estimate in 2012 put the shortage at nearly 19 million units. If this shortage is to be alleviated
quickly, India's messy real estate sector needs reforms.
The real estate bill seeks to set standards for contracts between buyers and sellers. Transparency, a rare
commodity in real estate, is enforced as promoters have to upload project details on the regulators' website.
Importantly, standard definitions of terms mean that buyers will not feel cheated after taking possession of a
house. In order to protect buyers who pay upfront, a part of the money collected for a real estate project is ring-
fenced in a separate bank account. Also, given the uncertainty, which exists in India on land titles, the real estate
bill provides title insurance. This bill has been scrutinized by two parliamentary committees and its passage now
brooks no delay.
This bill is an important step in cleaning up the real estate market, but the journey should not end with it. State
governments play a significant role in real estate and they are often the source of problems. Some estimates
suggest that real estate developers have to seek approvals of as many as 40 central and state departments, which
lead to delays and an escalation in the cost of houses. Sensibly, NDA government's project to provide universal
urban housing forces states to institute reforms to access central funding. Without real estate reforms at the level
of states, it will not be possible to
meet the ambition of making housing accessible for all urban dwellers.
1.According to the passage, which of the following is the pending in Rajya Sabha?
A. NDA government's new scheme B. Universal rural housing programme
C. Real estate bill D. Universal urban housing programme
2.According to the passage, what is the source of problem in real estate?
A. Buyers and sellers B. Central governments
C. Market money makers D. State governments
3.The word possession in the third paragraph refers to.....
A. lease B. need C. proprietary rights D. renting
4.The word escalation in the forth paragraph refers to.....
A. decrease B. growth C. reduction D. sustainability
5. It is impossible to meet the ambition of making housing accessible for urban dwellers.....
A. with real estate reforms at state level
B. without support of central government
C. without passing the bill in Rajya Sabha
D. without real estate reforms at the level of states

Coral reefs are the most diverse of all marine ecosystems. They are full of life, with perhaps one quarter of all
ocean species depending on reefs for food and shelter. This is a remarkable statistic when you consider that reefs
cover just a tiny fraction of the earth's surface and less than two per cent of the ocean bottom. Because they are
so diverse, coral reefs are often called the rainforests of the ocean. Coral reefs are very important to people. They
even provide seventy per cent of the food demands for some marine species, protection of shorelines, jobs based
on tourism (nine out of twelve activities for tourists in Nha Trang, for example, involve the coral reefs), and even
medicines.
Unfortunately, climate change is the greatest global threat to coral reef ecosystems. Scientific evidence now
clearly indicates that the Earth's atmosphere and ocean are warming, and that these changes are primarily due to
greenhouse gases derived from human activities.
As temperatures rise, mass coral bleaching events and infectious disease outbreaks are becoming more frequent.
Additionally, carbon dioxide absorbed into the ocean from the atmosphere has already begun to reduce
calcification rates in reef-building and reef-associated organisms by altering seawater chemistry through
decreases in pH. This process is called ocean acidification.
Climate change will affect coral reef ecosystems, through sea level rise, changes to the frequency and intensity
of tropical storms, and altered ocean circulation patterns. When combined, all of these impacts dramatically alter
ecosystem function, as well as the goods and services coral reef ecosystems provide to people around the globe.
There are also many things you can do to ensure that you are environmentally conscious when you visit coral
reefs or coastal areas. These include things such as hiring local guides to support the economy, removing all
trash from an area, never touching or harassing wildlife in reef areas, and avoiding dropping your boat anchor or
chain nearby a coral reef.
Finally, stay informed and spread the word! Educate yourself about why healthy coral reefs are valuable to the
people, fish, plants, and animals that depend on them. Your excitement will help others get involved.
1.Though the coverage of coral reefs on the sea bed is...., its vital role is undeniable.
A. remarkable B. small C. diverse D. huge
2.......of all the ocean species find food and home in the coral reefs.
A. Two per cent B. Seventy per cent
C. Twenty-five per cent D. Nine per cent
3.Carbon dioxide from the atmosphere directly caused.....
A. infectious disease outbreaks B. reef-building
C. sea level rise D. ocean acidification
4.Which of the following statement is NOT true?
A. Coral reefs can be compared to rainforests due to its diversity.
B. The effects of global warming are only on the ecosystems themselves.
C. You can help the coral reefs by educating not only yourself but people around you.
D. Human activities which cause greenhouse gases are major reasons for the climate change.
5.The word conscious in paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to.....
A. knowledgeable B. curious C. aware D. acknowledgeable
Rapid urbanization can (1)....long-term economic, social and environmental promise for developing countries

unprecedented (4)....from rural areas to pursue hopes and aspirations in cities. More than 90 (5)....of this urban

Every night, almost one billion people go to bed hungry. How can we feed all these (1)....people? Farmers all
over the world have to content with weather, insects, and natural disasters, which are capable of (2)....crops and
ruining years of hard work. And the population is set to rise to nine billion by 2050. Here are four possible
solutions.
GM crops
Proponents of genetically modified crops (GM crops) claim that they will hugely (3)....food production.
Scientists have developed drought-resistant and disease-resistant crops, more productive crops, and crops with
increased vitamins. Anti-GM protesters worry (4)....health risks and damage to other plants that grow near the
GM crops.
Vertical farming
Another answer could be to grow food in buildings. (5)....of vertical farming are suggesting we construct
multistory, climate-controlled farm buildings in the heart of our cities. One indoor hectare of land would be
equivalent to above five hectares outdoors, so we could grow year-round crops that would easily feed whole
cities. Opponents point to the cost, the increased energy used and the effect on farmers.
