Much before medical science discovered it, Reader's Digest came out with the prescription - laughter is the best medicine. Newspapers and magazines which regularly run humour columns are, therefore, doing their bit to keep the readers in good health. Reading light articles, whether they be satirical, comic or just humorous, relieves the tedium of the work-a-day world. Some pieces may even tickle one's grey matter. It is said that if you laugh for ten minutes, you will be in a better position to put up with pain for two hours. According to US researchers, laughter is a good antidote to stress that tones up the system. Facial laugh muscles instruct the brain to 'feel good' regardless of how you feel. According to a French doctor, laughter deepens breathing, improves blood circulation, speeds up the process of tissue healing, and stabilises many body functions. In short, it acts as a powerful drug with no side effects. Researchers state that laughter stimulates the production of beta-endorphins, natural painkillers in the body, and improves digestion. Those who laugh are less prone to digestive disorders and ulcers. Some people in France have made it a career. You can hire a 'jovialist' who cracks jokes and laughs, and promises to make you dissolve your worries in helpless laughter. A word of caution: although laughing is a good exercise for toning up the facial muscles, laughing at others' expense - particularly at their disabilities - is in bad taste and should be avoided. Secondly, laughing with food in the mouth is dangerous, as the foodstuff can get into the windpipe and may choke the respiratory system. Eating, anyway, is a serious business not to be trifled with by any jocular diversion. Laughter comes best when it is free of encumbrances - whether it is constricting food or the need to humour the boss. 23. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a benefit of laughter? A. Better blood circulation B. Stress reduction C. Improved digestion D. Vision enhancement

Read the following passage about TYPES OF CONSERVATIONS and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the best answer to each of the following questions from 31 to 40. [I] Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, encompassing all plants, animals, and microorganisms. [II] It exists at genetic, species, and ecosystem levels, providing essential services like clean air, water, and food production. [III] Two primary strategies for protecting biodiversity are in-situ and ex-situ conservation, each playing a distinct role in preserving species and ecosystems. [IV] In-situ conservation focuses on protecting species within their natural habitats, preserving entire ecosystems to ensure species thrive where they naturally belong. For example, to save tigers, their forest habitats are protected, benefiting other species in the ecosystem. In-situ conservation occurs in protected areas like national parks, wildlife sanctuaries, and biosphere reserves. In India, the Gir Forest serves as a sanctuary for Asiatic lions, where poaching is prohibited, though limited human activities, like collecting firewood, may be permitted. Another example is the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, which protects diverse wildlife, including elephants and zebras, maintaining their natural ecosystem. This method is cost- effective, supports large populations, and allows species to adapt naturally. However, challenges like habitat fragmentation and climate change can reduce its effectiveness. Ex-situ conservation involves protecting species outside their natural habitats in controlled environments. Threatened plants and animals are relocated to places like zoological parks, botanical gardens, or seed banks, where they receive specialized care. For example, the Taronga Zoo in Australia conserves endangered species like the Tasmanian devil. Similarly, the Chengdu Research Base in China focuses on breeding pandas, helping to increase their population through careful management and reintroduction programs. Ex-situ methods are crucial when habitats are destroyed or species face extinction, enabling captive breeding and potential reintroduction. However, this approach is costly, and species may struggle to adapt to artificial settings or face reduced genetic diversity. Both in-situ and ex-situ conservation are vital for safeguarding biodiversity. In-situ methods protect natural ecosystems, while ex-situ efforts provide a backup for critically endangered species. Combining these strategies ensures the survival of Earth's diverse life forms for future generations. 31. Where in paragraph 1 does the following sentence best fit? However, human activities such as deforestation, pollution, and overexploitation threaten biodiversity, making conservation critical. A. [IV] B. [I] C. [III] D. [II]
