S1: | Since the sixties there has been an increasing interest in neurophysiology, which deals with the neural bases of mental activity and behaviour. |
P : | It has format which is very similar to that of Brain and Language, a sister journal. |
Q : | Since then, a number of journals devoted entirely to this area of research have appeared. |
R : | Before the 1960's when this field was the concern of a small number of investigators, research articles were scattered in various neurological journals. |
S : | Brain and cognition is one such journal. |
S6: | So far the journal has published the mixture of articles including reports and investigations. |
S1: | Metals are today being replaced by polymers in many applications. |
P : | Above all, they are cheaper and easier to process making them a viable alternative to metals. |
Q : | Polymers are essentially a long chains of hydrocarbon molecules. |
R : | Today polymers as strong as metals have been developed. |
S : | These have replaced the traditional chromium-plated metallic bumpers in cars. |
S6: | Many Indian Institutes of science and Technology run special programmes on polymer science. |
S1: | Once upon atime there lived three young men in a certain town of Hindustan. |
P : | All the people of the neighbourhood were mortally afraid of them. |
Q : | They were so powerful that they could catch growing lions and tear them to pieces. |
R : | Someone told them that they would become immortal if they killed Death. |
S : | The young men believed themselves to be very good friends. |
S6: | All of them set out in search of their foe called Death. |
S1: | A man can be physically confined within stone walls. |
P : | But his mind and spirit will still be free. |
Q : | Thus his freedom of action may be restricted. |
R : | His hopes and aspiration still remain with him. |
S : | Hence, he will be free spiritually if not physically. |
S6: | No tyranny can intimidate a lover of liberty. |
S1: | There is only one monkey we can thoroughly recommend as an indoor pet. |
P : | They quickly die from colds and coughs after the first winter fogs. |
Q : | It is beautiful and intelligent Capuchin monkey. |
R : | The lively little Capuchins, however, may be left for years in an English house without the least danger to their health. |
S : | The Marmosets, it is true, are more beautiful than a Capuchins and just as pleasing, but they are too delicate for the English climate |
S6: | Finally let me say that no other monkey has a better temper or winning ways. |
S1: | I had halted on the road. |
P : | As soon as I saw the elephant I knew I should not shoot him. |
Q : | It is a serious matter to shoot a working elephant. |

P : | To find for these growing new millions is desperate task. |
Q : | every year, we add more than a crore of persons to our population. |
R : | Despite stupendous efforts by our government, the population is growing unabated. |
S : | The chief cause is the population explosion. |
S6: | This unprecedented growth can drag us to the doors of starvation very soon. |
S1: | Our ancestors thought that anything which moved itself was alive. |
P : | The philosopher Descartes thought that both men and animals were machines. |
Q : | But a machine such as a motorcar or a steamship moves itself, as soon as machines which moved themselves had been made, people asked "Is man a machine?" |
R : | And before the days of machinery that was a good definition. |
S : | He also thought that the human machine was partly controlled by the soul action on a certain part of the brain, while animals had no souls. |
S6: | Therefore some scientists think that life is just a very complicated mechanism. |
S1: | Payment for imports and exports is made through a system called foreign exchange. |
P : | The value of the money of one country in relation to the money of other countries is agreed upon. |
Q : | These rates of exchange vary from time to time. |
