Passage:
When Virender Sehwag turned up at the Vikaspuri Cricket Coaching Centre as a young lad, Coach A.N Sharma did not let him bat in the nets for six months. The idea was to test the boy's patience and find out if he was serious about taking up the sport. As the days went by, Sharma was convinced that Sehwag meant business.
"Dilli mein khelte hain unki khelai (you call someone special when he is one). What I realised after giving him time was simple: he was cut out for big time cricket," Sharma told DNA on Monday. A couple of decades later, Sharma is a satisfied man. His prodigy amassed more than 8,000 runs in both forms of the game. "As far as I am concerned, I am more than satisfied with what he has done. Nobody has played like that," said Sharma. "Sehwag always had the ability and he always played the game like what you all have seen on television. I never altered his style of play; never made anybody follow that typical cricket manual. I prefer to see a player play his natural game. Yes, there were minor corrections that I made here and there. The rest was Sehwag and his natural ability," he added. Sharma gave an example of Sehwag's hunger for runs and his skill to score them quickly. "In Delhi, we played a lot of cricket in the summer because our winters are cold and foggy. We had a good side. To make it tough for us, the organisers would give us two matches a day. One at 6.30 am and the other at 2 pm. We had to finish the first match by noon, so I would tell Viru to finish the game fast and come to the next ground for our second game. He would do as instructed. Such was his hunger," said Sharma.
The coach is, however, unhappy with the BCCI for not giving his boy a proper farewell. "It is just like using him. He deserved better treatment and credit to sign off from the game," said an emotional Sharma.

Passage:
Varicocele may be defined as diffuse dilation of the pampiniform plexus (the venous drainage of the scrotum). Generally, the venous drainage of the scrotum begins with multiple scrotal veins that coalesce with the plexus. This drainage ascends along the cord structure and ultimately forms a single testicular vein, draining on the right into the vena cava and on the left into the left renal vein. Although the main symptom of admission is dilated veins observed in the scrotum, patients with especially high-grade varicocele suffer from chronic groin pain. This may limit the physical performance.
The etiology remains unclear. Most theories have as a common thread an increased venous backpressure with subsequent venous varicosity. These theories are based on insufficient venous valves anatomical angle of venous drainage, external compression of the drainage system and backflow of metabolites from left renal vein onto the subjacent testis. Although varicocele can appear at any pediatric age, the incidence peaks near mid-puberty and catches the incidence of adult population. Overall, varicocele are estimated to occur in 15% of the adolescent population. They are almost all left-sided and rarely bilateral. Right-sided varicocele has been reported with situs inversus, adding to the emphasis on anatomic etiology. Most adolescents who have varicocele are asymptomatic and discovered on routine examination. There may be some mild discomfort. Although the mechanism is unclear, there is general agreement that larger varicoceles are more likely to result in testicular injury than smaller ones, and that this injury appears to be a function of increasing time.
Most cases of childhood varicocele require no treatment, but because of the gross appearance of varicocele, parents need to be well counseled. Generally a larger scrotum than normal is observed during physical examination when the boy stands upright. Palpation of the scrotum is like feeling “a bag of worms”. The mass of veins often disappear when the child lies down. Adolescents who have pain, large varicoceles, or loss of ipsilateral testicular volume over time should undergo surgical therapy. Prior surgical therapies focusing on mass ligation of the internal spermatic vessels have had good results, but a significant incidence of postoperative hydrocele is reported.

Read the passage and answer the following question.
Mindless television can have negative impact. The term ‘couch potato’ is used for people who spend most of their time in front of a television set. Too much television can distract people from other activities, like reading, sports, or helping others.
Since television viewing is a sedentary activity, it can also lead to obesity. Catchy advertisements on TV can tempt people to buy various products. Television viewing has also been linked with the creation of stereotypes. Watching violent programmes have been linked with violent behaviour in both adults and children.
TV in itself is neither good nor bad. It is just another medium of communication. The positive and negative effects depend upon how we use the medium.

Read the passage and answer the following question.
Layout is a double edged sword: on the one hand, it is the expression of a framework that actively shapes the web designer. On the other hand, as the designer adapts that framework to projects, layout is the means of content delivery. Publishing a web engages communication throughout the production process as well as within the product created. Publication implies adaptation of culture and content standards. Web design incorporates multiple intersections between many layers of technical and social understanding, demanding creative direction, design element structure, and some form of social organization. Differing goals and methods resolve effectively in successful deployment of education, software and team management during the design process. However, many competing and evolving platforms and environments challenge acceptance, completion and continuity of every design product.

Read the following passage and answer the question:
Lakes and river systems are separated from each other by barriers of land. It might have been thought that fresh water productions would not have ranged widely within the same country, and as the sea is apparently a still more impassable barrier, that they never would have extended to distant countries. But the case is exactly the reverse. Not only have fresh-water species, belonging to quite different classes, an enormous range, but allied species have also prevailed in a remarkable manner throughout the world. I well remember, while first collecting the fresh-waters of Brazil, feeling much surprise at the similarity of the fresh-water insects, shells, etc. and at the dissimilarity of the surrounding terrestrial beings, compared with those of Britain.

Read the following passage and answer the question:
The global average surface temperature has increased by approximately 0.8° C over the last century. Many countries have experienced increase in rainfall, particularly in those situated in the mid to high latitudes. In some regions, the frequency and intensity of droughts have increased in recent decades. All these are signs of climate change, which making it more difficult for mankind survival. Projections of future climate change have predicted that the global mean surface temperature will rise by 1.4° C to 5.8° C. The frequency of weather extremes is likely to increase. Global mean sea level is projected to rise by 9 to 88 cm by the year 2100. Changes in climate may affect the distribution of vector species which in turn will increase the spread of diseases, such as malaria and filariasis, to new areas which lack a strong public health infrastructure.
