Many organizations try to encourage people to do kind acts, wherever and whenever they can. The idea behind this is that it doesn't take any major plan to be kind, just a little bit of effort. Perhaps the strongest supporters of this idea are the Random Acts of Kindness (RAK) Foundation, who works with schools and companies to teach people kindness skills. They operate under the beliefs that kindness can be taught and that it is contagious. Their activities range from suggesting kind acts to allowing their website-users to become 'RAKtivists' (people who officially register themselves as activists of kindness)

Q.8 Unit 5, Section B teaches you how to do skimming. Read the following passage carefully, skim it and write the gist of the text in your own words.
Rhinos mind their own business. They like nothing better than to stand around and eat grass from the ground, or, depending on what kind of rhino, nip leaves off bushes. They love to roll in the mud, too. Mud keeps rhinos cool, and they use it for sunscreen. Then he rubbed his chin on the rock. And his stomach. And his hips. "Rock-rubber," I called him. Rhinos have marvelous ears. Have you ever looked at a rhino ear? It is somehow like a curled leaf, or flower petals, or a gracefully rolled paper cone for holding nuts. Rhinos seem mythical or magical to some people. Maybe that is because they have a horn. Actually, they have two horns, but one is more prominent. Maybe rhinos are behind the idea of the unicorn. When people see something near-magical in an animal, they want that thing. In the case of rhinos, it's the horn. So people kill the rhinos and cut off their horns, even though the horns are made of the same kind of protein that's in your hair or fingernails. But people who want magic horns don't like to hear that. They don't seem to care that there are only about 30,000 rhinos left in the world today. I wish they would mind their own business. Rhinos mind their own business. They eat grass. They lick rocks. They rub rocks. A living rhino
makes a fine acquaintance. Take time to get to know rhinos on World Rhino Day, celebrated every year on September 22.
Answer:
Gist of paragraph:
Rhinos are huge animals mostly found in Africa and South east Asia. They eat grass and leaves of bushes. Rhinos have very big ears like curled leaf or flower petals. Rhinos seem strange for their horns. People kill rhinos for their horns to be used in cosmetics. Rhinos must be save before they are wholly wiped out from the world.
