Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 15 to 22 Globalization - a topic of heated argument - has as many likes as dislikes. Globalization has its own importance in terms of economic development and race for power. But it's not always welcomed by those who love to keep up their culture and identity. Talking of the positive attitudes for the globalization, it has a deep rooted stand in economic growth of the nation. Tele- communications in different ways like Internet, emails, calls and video-calling or chats, along with advancement in various routes of transportation have made the world come closer. Families could easily interact and converse with their children abroad. We can know the latest day-to-day advancements in technology and keep up with the pace of the world. Also, our inter-personal skills can develop, which makes us more confident to go hand-in-hand with anyone from any part of the world. Still, when we go to the dark aspect of this globalization, it has blinded our youth regarding our own richness of culture. Our nation which had always been an ever- shining star for its rich culture and civilization, is now facing a downfall due to the import of westernization into our culture. Globalization has helped us to cope with the advancing science, but our emotions and bonding are at risk. Youth today is just concentrating to top the financial market; they don't have time to spend with their family and kids, for whom they are striving hard day and night. We have forgotten that money can get us anything, but not the true love and innocence. We have engaged ourselves in the technology to the extent that we are failing to respect the relationship. Charm of glittering gadgets has faded the importance of the elders in the family. We don't realize dis-respecting elderly people in the fake prestige of technology. All this is nothing but the blackened gift to us by the globalization. These aspects of globalization definitely need to be realized at the earliest. We need to start educating our children right from the childhood values of our culture, thereby maintaining our own uniqueness. Let's join hands to save our nation and culture from getting destructed. Question 15: Which of the following is not the reason why the world has become smaller and closer to many people? A.

The Chinese emperor Shen Nung in 2737 B.C introduced the drink. Chinese writer Lu Yu wrote in A.D. 780 that there were “tens of thousands” of teas. Chinese tea was introduced to Japan in A.D. 800. It was then introduced to Europe in the early 1600s, when trade began between Europe and the Far East. At that time, China was the main supplier of tea to the world. Then in 1834, tea cultivation began in India and spread to Sri Lanka, Thailand, Burma, and other areas of Southeast Asia. Today, Java, South Africa, South America, and areas of the Caucasus also produce tea. There are three kinds of tea: black, green, and oolong. Most international tea trading is in black tea. Black tea preparation consists mainly of picking young leaves and leaf buds on a clear sunny day and letting the leaves dry for about an hour in the sun. Then, they are lightly rolled and left in a fermentation room to develop scent and a red color. Next, they are heated several more times. Finally, the leaves are dried in a basket over a charcoal fire. Green tea leaves are heated in steam, rolled, and dried. Oolong tea is prepared similarly to black tea, but without the fermentation time. Three main varieties of tea-Chinese, Assamese, and Cambodian-have distinct characteristics. The Chinese variety, a strong plant that can grow to be 2.75 meters high, can live to be 100 years old and survives cold winters. The Assamese variety can grow 18 meters high and lives about 40 years. The Cambodian tea tree grows five meters tall. Tea is enjoyed worldwide as a refreshing and stimulating drink. Because so many people continue to drink the many varieties of tea, it will probably continue as the world's most popular drink. Question 25: In the early 1600s, tea was introduced to Europe due to .
