First reactions to Thailand's giant new opium museum in the Golden Triangle are confused: pleasant
surprise at cool air after the intense tropical heat, but then disorientation, shock, even fear. Visitors
enter the 100-acre complex through a long, dark, mist-filled tunnel, which winds into the base of a hill
past bas-reliefs of distorted human figures before emerging suddenly into bright sunlight in front of a
field of poppies. "This is the mystery, the contradiction of opium," says Charles Mehl, "Opium is one
of the very best drugs we have for treating chronic pain and bringing relief from suffering. But it can
also be one of the worst, destroying lives if it is used for recreation or exploited for commercial gain.

Q.8 Unit 5, Section B teaches you how to do skimming. Read the following passage carefully, skim it and

The history of progress of the human race is the history of education. Hence it is necessary for every
person, man or woman, to be educated. Women should be educated like men, otherwise there can be
no real progress and half of the population will remain illiterate.
Napoleon was once asked what the greatest need of France was. He answered, “Motherland’s National
progress is impossible without trained and educated mothers”. If the women in any country are not
educated,
about half the people in that country will be ignorant. The result is that such a country will not be able
to go along with other nations in development and progress. Education teaches a woman what she
should be.There is a saying in English, “the hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world”. The meaning
in this is that the mother exercises a very great influence over the lines of her children and is able to
mould their thoughts
and characters. If she is educated, she will make such an impression on the mind of her child, that
will enable him in later life to grow into a good and great man.
|
Ans: The history of quite old as human being education is necessary for everyone.Women should be
educated too; otherwise half population will be remained illeterate
The famous king Nepolion was once asked about the greatest need of France. He answered trained and educated mothers .If women of any country are illeterate .It means the half of the population is ignoreant,then how can be that country able to get development and progress.Education tells women they way of life.
An English saying "the hand that rocks the cradle,rules the world .It means that every mother has great influence on her child's life .Her upbringing would the thought and character of children,Her education make such impression on his mind and he grows uo into a good and great person.
