PROSE I, Read the following passages and select the correct answer, for the questions after it., When Anne reached the school that morning for the, first time in her life she had traversed the Birch Path deaf and, blind to its beauties all was quiet and still. The Preceding, teacher had trained the children to be in their places at her, arrival, and when Anne entered the schoolroom she was, confronted by prim rows of “shining morning faces” and bright,, inquisitive eyes. She hung up her hat and faced her pupils,, hoping that she did not look as frightened and foolish as she, felt and that they would not perceive how she was trembling., She had sat up until nearly twelve the preceding night, composing a speech she meant to make to her pupils upon, opening the school. She had revised and improved it, painstakingly,and then she had learned it off by heart. It was a, very good speech and had some very fine ideas in it, especially, about mutual help and earnest striving after knowledge. The, only trouble was that she could not now remember a word of it., After what seemed to her a year about ten seconds in reality., She said faintly, “Take your Testaments, please,” and sank, breathlessly into her chair under cover of the rustle and clatter, of desk lids that followed.

PROSE II, Honey, Honey has been used to treat wounds for millennia., Researchers have found that honey has out performed, antibiotics in treating wounds and even Caesarian section and, burns. Worker bees gather nectar from flowers during spring, and summer and regurgitate into the mouths of waiting hive, mates. They spit it out into the honey comb and fan it with their, wings until most of the water in the nectar has evaporated. At, the same time their enzyme -rich saliva turns the sucros into, glucose and fructose, which bind to the remaining water leaving, a desert in which bacterias cannot survive. While the honey is, ripening, though, there is ample opportunity for pathogens to, invade. But protection comes in the form of the bees prime, enzyme, glucose oxidase, which makes the brew acidic and, hostile to most bacteria by converting glucose into gluconic, acid., Honey has a secret weapon that makes it deadly to, microbes even in a diluted form : hydrogen peroxide. As it, breaks down hydroxyl radicals are formed that damage, bacteria. Some experts in wound care around the world have, adopted honey as a standard dressing for wounds., , DIET ALAPPUZHA, Page 81
