PART-A

Multiple Choice Questions

(Questions No. 1-3) Read the following passage carefully and choose the correct option to answer the questions that follow:

A few years ago, most people were happy using earphones to listen to music on their portable cassette players or listening to CDs on their Discmans. However, both of these now seem pretty cumbersome gadgets to use while jogging, exercising or cycling.

Recently, especially in big cities, all this has changed. The techno-battle raging today is not between bulky cassette players and Discmans, anymore. Now, it is between light and tiny gadgets called iPods and MP3 players. One of the reasons for their popularity is the technology they are based on, which allows one to store lots of songs on such small devices.    The main difference between iPods and MP3 players is the technoloy they use to compress audio files. Digital audio and video compression standards were formed by the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG). MP3 is a part of this standard. Therefore, what we popularly know as MP3 is not actually a type of a file, but a technology for compressing sound files into smaller ones.

PART-B Reading

  1. The drink of Asia for hundreds of years, tea is believed to have been brought to Europe by the Dutch. Today, from the remotest corner of Ladakh to Buckingham Palace, tea is synonymous with cheer.

It is rightly said that there will be no agreement on a perfect cup of tea. Though for tea drinkers the brew is addictive, the preferred method of preparation and taste differs from person to person and region to region.

Today many varieties of tea and tea brands are available in the market. An innovation is the tea-bag that is easy, quick and less messy than traditional ways of brewing tea. Green tea is popular in China and the Far East. In Japan, the tea ceremony is a traditional way of greeting guests and is a social occasion. Unlike the tea, we are familiar with, green tea is not drunk with sugar or milk.

Some scientists believe tea prevents tooth decay because it is a rich source of flouride. Tea is also a folk remedy for stomach upsets, flu and diarrhoea. Research suggests that drinking tea reduces the risk of heart disease and cancer and lowers cholesterol levels in the blood.

a) What is the innovation in the tea market according to the passage?

b) According to the passage, how is green tea drunk?

c) How do you say that tea is a former drink of Asia?
