SECTION A READING (20 MARKS) _5t- Read the passage and answer the questions that follow: (110210) 1. Economists, ethicists and business experts persuade us that honesty is the best policy, but their evidence is weak. We hoped to find data that would support their theories and thus, Perhaps, encourage higher standards of business behaviour. To our surprise, their pet theories failed to stand up. Treachery, we found, can pay. There is no compellifig economic Feason to tell the truth or keep one’s word. Punishment for the treacherous in the real world is neither swift nor sure. Honesty is, in fact, primarily a moral choice. Business people do tell themselves that, in the Jong run, they will do well by doing good. But there is little factual or logical basis for this ‘conviction. Without values, without a basic preference of right over wrong, trust based on such delusion would crumble in the face of temptation. Most of us choose virtue because We want to believe in ourselves and because others respect and believe us. 3. And due to this, we should be happy. We can be proud of a system in which people are honest because they want to be, not because they have to be. Materially, too, trust based on morality provides great advantages. It allows us to join in great and exciting enterprises that ‘we could never undertake if we relied on economic incentives alone. 4. Economists tell us that trust is enforced in the market place through retaliation and reputation. If you violate a trust, your victim is apt to seek revenge and others are likely to stop doing business with you, at least under favourable terms. A man or woman with a reputation for fair dealing will prosper. Therefore, profit maximisers are honest. This sounds plausible enough until you look for concrete examples. Cases that apparently demonstrate the awful consequences of trust turn out to be few and weak, while evidence that treachery can pay seems compelling. Based on your understanding of the passage, answer the questions given below. _ © Aecordlng tothe passage, what do economists and ethicists, want us to believe? (a) Businessmen should always be honest (b) Businessmen cannot always be honest (©) Businessmen tum dishonest at times (¢) Businessmen are honest only at timesRead the passage and answor the questions that follow: aie tom0) Scientists understand some of the reasons for sleep. But they do not understand everything about it. There are two kinds of sleep in mammals and birds. One is Rapid Eye Boee we sleep, which we call REM sleep. The other is Non-Rapid Eye Movernent ch ane call NREM or non-REM sleep. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine divides zs sleep into three stages: N1, N2, and N3 sleep. When people first go to sleep, they are in NREM sleep. The sleep. During N1 sleep, people get very drowsy. Some peop! this part of sleep. People are not very conscious of, or aware of this stage of sleep. Brain monitors identify small, slow, and irregular brain sleep. first stage of NREM sleep is N1 le have muscle twitches during f, their surroundings during waves during N1 3. The second stage of sleep is N2 sleep. People are not at all conscious of their Bee during N2 sleep. About 45%-55% of total adult sleep is N2 sleep. Brain monitors identify large brain waves with quick bursts of activity during N2 sleep. -—_ 4. The third stage of sleep is N3 sleep. It is very deep sleep. Brain monitors identify very slow brain waves during N3 sleep. Therefore, N3 sleep is called slow-wave sleep (SWS.) After NB sleep, people cycle back to lighter N2 sleep before going into REM sleep. People cycle through the stages of NREM sleep 4 or 5 times each night and enter REM sleep several times during one night. 5. Scientists are not sure of all the reasons for sleep. They know that sleep helps the body heal and grow. Sleep helps the immune system — which helps people fight disease. Sleep helps the infant brain grow. It seems that REM sleep is especially important for babies’ brain growth. It also seems that sleep is a time for processing memories. The National Sleep Foundation in the United States says that 7-9 hours of sleep daily is best for an adult. Seven to nine hours of sleep is good for memory, alertness, problem-solving, and health. Less than six hours of sleep affects the ability to think. Getting too much sleep may not be good for people either. Too much sleep is linked to sickness and depression.
