Reality for human beings is not action or feeling but meaning. Humans are symbol using creatures; a
symbol is anything that carries a particular meaning recognised by the people who share culture. A
whistle, a wall of graffiti, a flashing red light, a fist raised in the air—all serve as symbols. We see the
human capacity to create and manipulate symbols in the various ways a simple wink of the eye can
convey interest, understanding, or insult. We are so dependent on our culture’s symbols that we take
them for granted. Often, however, we gain a heightened sense of the importance of a symbol when
someone uses it in an unconventional way. Entering an unfamiliar culture also reminds us of the power
of symbols; culture shock is nothing more than the inability to “read” meaning in one’s surroundings.
We feel lost, unsure of how to act, and sometimes frightened—a consequence of slipping outside the
symbolic web of culture. Culture shock is both what travellers experience and what they inflict on
others by acting in ways that may offend them.

In the context of the topic of the passage, when do we feel lost, or frightened ?

Light pollution is a growing problem worldwide. Like other forms of pollution, light pollution
degrades the quality of the environment. Where it was once possible to look up at the night sky
and see thousands of twinkling stars in the inky blackness, one now sees little more than the
yellow glare of urban sky-glow. When we lose the ability to connect visually with the vastness of
the universe by looking up at the night sky, we lose our connection with something profoundly
important to the human spirit, our sense of wonder.

The passage implies that the most serious damage done by light pollution is to our :

Read the following passage and answer the question that follow :
Today, bicycles are elegantly simple machines that are common around the world. Many people ride
bicycles for recreation, whereas others use them as a means of transportation. The first bicycle, called a
draisienne, was invented in Germany in 1818 by Baron Karl de Drais de Sauerbrun. Because it was made
of wood, the draisienne wasn’t very durable nor did it have pedals. Riders moved it by pushing their feet
against the ground.
In 1839, Kirkpatrick Macmillan, a Scottish blacksmith, invented a much better bicycle. Macmillan’s
machine had tyres with iron rims to keep them from getting worn down. He also used foot-operated
cranks, similar to pedals, so his bicycle could be ridden at a quick pace. It didn’t look much like the
modern bicycle, though, because its back wheel was substantially larger than its front wheel. Although
Macmillan’s bicycles could be ridden easily, they were never produced in large numbers.
In 1861, Frenchman Pierre Michaux and his brother Ernest invented a bicycle with an improved
crank mechanism. They called their bicycle a vélocipède, but most people called it a “bone shaker”
because of the jarring effect of the wood and iron frame. Despite the unflattering nickname, the vélocipède
was a hit. After a few years, the Michaux family was making hundreds of the machines annually,
mostly for fun-seeking young people. 

Ten years later, James Starley, an English inventor, made several innovations that revolutionized
bicycle design. He made the front wheel many times larger than the back wheel, put a gear on the
pedals to make the bicycle more efficient, and lightened the wheels by using wire spokes. Although this
bicycle was much lighter and less tiring to ride, it was still clumsy, extremely top-heavy, and ridden
mostly for entertainment.
It wasn’t until 1874 that the first truly modern bicycle appeared on the scene. Invented by another
Englishman, H.J. Lawson, the safety bicycle would look familiar to today’s cyclists. The safety bicycle
had equal-sized wheels, which made it much less prone to toppling over. Lawson also attached a chain
to the pedals to drive the rear wheel. By 1893, the safety bicycle had been further improved with airfilled rubber tyres, a diamond-shaped frame, and easy braking. With the improvements provided by
Lawson, bicycles became extremely popular and useful for transportation. Today, they are built, used,
and enjoyed all over the world.

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow :
The Okapi, a forest mammal of Central Africa, has presented zoologists with a number of difficult
questions since they first learned of its existence in 1900. The first was how to classify it. Because it was
horselike in dimension, and bore patches of striped hide similar to a zebra’s (a relative of the horse),
zoologists first classified it as a member of the horse family. But further studies showed that, despite
Okapis’ coloration and short necks, their closest relatives were giraffes. The Okapi’s rightful place within
the giraffe family is confirmed by its skin-covered horns (in males), two-lobed canine teeth, and long
prehensile tongue.
The vital question concerned the size of the Okapi population. Because Okapis were infrequently
captured by hunters, some zoologists believed that they were rare; however, others theorized that their
habits simply kept them out of sight. It was not until 1985, when zoologists started tracking Okapis by
affixing collars equipped with radio transmitters to briefly captured specimens, that reliable information
about Okapi numbers and habits began to be collected. It turns out that while Okapis are not as rare as
some zoologists suspected, their population is concentrated in an extremely limited chain of forestland
in north-eastern Central Africa, surrounded by savanna.
One reason for their seeming scarcity is that their coloration allows Okapis to camouflage themselves
even at close range. Another is that Okapis do not travel in groups or with other large forest mammals,
and neither frequent open riverbanks nor forage at the borders of clearings, choosing instead to keep to
the forest interior. This is because Okapis, unlike any other animal in the Central African forest, subsist
entirely on leaves: more than one hundred species of plants have been identified as part of their diet, and
about twenty of these are preferred. Okapis never eat one plant to the exclusion of others; even where
preferred foliage is abundant, Okapis will leave much of it uneaten, choosing to move on and sample
other leaves. Because of this, and because of the distribution of their food, Okapis engage in individual
rather than congregated foraging.
But other questions about Okapi behaviour arise. Why, for example, do they prefer to remain
within forested areas when many of their favourite plants are found in the open border between forest
and savanna ? One possibility is that this is a defence against predators; another is that the Okapi was
pushed into the forest by competition with other large, hoofed animals, such as the bushbuck and bongo,
that specialize on the forest edges and graze them more efficiently. Another question is why Okapis are
absent from other nearby forest regions that would seem hospitable to them. Zoologists theorize that
Okapis are relics of an era when forestland was scarce and that they continue to respect those borders
even though available forestland has long since expanded.
