Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: It is hard to predict how science is going to turn out , and if it is really good science, it is impossible to predict. If the things to be found are actually new, they must be unknown in advance You cannot make choices on this matter. You either have science or you don't and if you have it you have to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information, along with the neat and useful bits. The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we don't know enough about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, a clear piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century to be told by any of us how little we know and how strange seems the way ahead . In earlier times, they either pretended to understand how things worked or simply made up stones to give answers. Now that we have begun exploring seriously, we are catching sight of how huge the questions are, and how far from being answered. Because of this, we are sorry. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted. But we are making a beginning, and there ought to he some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can't he answered, sooner or later. Within our limits, we should be able to work our way through to all our answers, if we keep at it long enough, arid pay attention. Question: It can be inferred from the passage that scientists of the 18th century _ . - thought that they knew a great deal and could deal with most problems of science - knew that they were ignorant and wanted to know more about nature - were afraid of facing up to the realities of scientific research. - did more harm than good in man's understanding nature
Ans: thought that they knew a great deal and could deal with most problems of science

Actually, he has given us clues all along. The story of Steve Jobs boils down to this: Don't go with the flow. If Mr. Jobs saw something that could be made better, smarter or more beautiful, nothing else mattered. Apple has attained its current astonishing levels of influence and success because it is sensitive. It is incredibly focused. It has had amazingly few failures. And that is because Mr. Jobs didn't buy into focus groups, groupthink or decision by a committee. At its core ,Apple existed to carry out his vision. He focused on every button and every corner .He lost sleep over the cardboard of the packaging and the color1 of the power cord.

Eventually, of course, most people realized that he was just doing that Steve Jobs thing again: being ahead of his time. Mr. Jobs is gone. Everyone who knew him feels that sorrow. But the ripple of that loss will widen in the days, weeks and years to come: to the people in the industries he changed. Question: Apple has obtained great success because _ . - its staff must be much cleverer than others'. - it has been the focus of consumers worldwide. - it was under Steve Jobs' control - it takes the advantages of its failures

Ques: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Make your office space MANY of us spent our childhoods dreaming of becoming astronauts. However, the hard reality is that only a select few will make it. But does that mean you'll never get the chance to work in space? Not necessarily. Space X, a private space company based in California, US, published a list of job vacancies last month. These "open positions" are not only for astronauts, and they all sound just as cool. One of the most interesting space jobs that you may have never heard of is "chief sniffer" . NASA has already hired a chief sniffer named George Aldrich, whose job is to smell materials and components before they are used in spacecrafts. Using your nose at work might sound a little strange, but the job is actually crucial. A spacecraft is of limited size and ly high temperature, which makes smells stronger inside of it. And once a spacecraft is launched, astronauts "have no way of escaping" unpleasant smells, Aldrich told The Telegraph. More importantly, smelling objects can help identify dangerous chemicals that could threaten astronauts' health. Another job vacancy, the "space tour guide", may seem a little ahead of its time --after all, what's the point of hiring a tour guide when there aren't any tourists there? But in fact, many private companies are now providing space trips, and wealthy space enthusiasts such as Justin Bieber and Sarah Brightman have already signed up for tours. It may not be long before space becomes one of the top travel destinations for Earthlings. Being a space tour guide requires rich knowledge of astronomy , astrophysics geography and history to help passengers get the most out of their journey. Tour guides also need to be excellent storytellers so that passengers can experience the true awe of space travel. Astronauts often spend weeks or even months in a small capsule with the same group of people, which is why a "space psychologist" is also needed to help astronauts overcome mental challenges like feeling bored and lonely. "We're crossing... Question: We can conclude from the article that---------. - a space tour guide needs both a high level of space knowledge and strong social skills. - normal people will be able to afford space travels soon. - modern astronauts feel less lonely and helpless when they work as a group. - more varied jobs will be created as space trips become more popular.
Ans: a space tour guide needs both a high level of space knowledge and strong social skills.
