Make a precis of the following passage :
(15)
To most people a long journey by car is exhausting and

disagreeable. After the first hundred miles, all except the
enthusiastic driver and the hardiest of passengers begin
to find that the heaviest and largest car is small and
inclined to bounce, the smoothest road is rougher than
the well-metalled track and forty miles an hour a more
alarming speed than sixty miles an hour in the train. The
longest non-stop run to Devon or to Scotland is made easy
by the smoothness of the track and the solidity of the
coaches, the comfort of the seats and still more by the
lulling effect of continuous motion, of which the senses
are aware though the bones and the muscles are not.
Few things are more restful at the beginning of a holiday
than a long journey in a swift train, during which the
traveler in his corner seat facing the engine and
controlling the window does not read, nor even think, but
watches the country unroll itself, mile after mile, a
moving panorama. And the lulling effect is almost as
great by night as by day. A man must be bored indeed by
travel if lie does not feel the thrill of adventure in
reaching the station at bedtime and settling into his tiny,
cosy bedroom; the strangeness of going to bed in London
to wake in Scotland. After the adventure, if his nerves be
sound and his conscience clear, come hours of carefree

sleep, broken perhaps by delightful moments of waking,

when, without getting up he can move the blind aside and
look out into the unknown night. Now that we take the
train from choice, not as a few years back from necessity,
the comfort and delight of railway traveling are
impressed anew upon consciousness; and not the engine
only, but the whole train is seen in the glow of childish
memory and of mature love of ease.

(a)
Benefits of Space Research.
(b)
The Attractions of Foreign Travel.
Read the following passage and answer the questions

that follow :
(15)
From the very beginning Man has attempted what has
seemed impossible. Man is different from the rest of the
creation in this respect. He has an eternal thirst for
adventure. This has led to countless new discoveries and
inventions. Human curiosity is limitless. It is responsible
for space flights and moon landings.
The desire to know what lies beyond the visible world
takes many forms. The Everest hero Tenzing and the
hero of the Seven Seas, Mihir Sen, were inspired by the
same restless spirit. Astronauts Armstrong., Collins and
Aldrin, who were the first humans to set foot on the soil
of the moon, have proved beyond doubt that Man shall
not rest until he has conquered the entire universe.
Now the question arises : Is it enough to know and
master nature? To answer It one should first answer a
more basic question : which is more important knowing
and understanding the world around you or knowing and
understanding yourself? Everyone will agree that in the
absence of self-knowledge, even the most advanced
knowledge of the universe will be not only useless but
also dangerous.

Here it stands for
(i)

(ii)
The difference between Man and the rest of

(iii) human curiosity

(iv)
(d)

other things are built up
