Compulsory English NEEMA SEE Model Question Set 6

Haggis, Scotland: Oddly enough, when you take all of the parts of a sheep that no one else wants—the heart, the liver, and the lungs—grind it and mix it with mutton fat, oatmeal, and spices. Then pack it into a sheep’s stomach and boil it for a few hours. It tastes really good. Scotland is not exactly known for its cooking and eating skills but, give me “haggis, neeps and tatties” (haggis with turnips and potatoes) any day for a week.

Shiokara, Japan: Most Japanese food is simple: it sounds delicious, and it is delicious. But how about raw squid mixed with salted fermented squid belly? This is shiokara, a Japanese staple, and one I used to hate. However, I am slowly coming around. Once you get used to it and you have it with good conversation, this food takes on a whole new beauty.

The promise of driverless technology has long been enticing. It has the potential to transform our experience of commuting and long journeys, take people out of high-risk working environments, and streamline our industries. It’s key to helping us build the cities of the future, where our reliance and relationship with cars are redefined—lowering carbon emissions and paving the way for more sustainable ways of living. And it could make our travel safer. The World Health Organization estimates that more than 1.3 million people die each year as a result of road traffic crashes. “We want safer roads and fewer fatalities. Automation ultimately could provide that,” says Camilla Fowler, head of automated transport for the UK’s Transport Research Laboratory (TRL).

But in order for driverless technology to become mainstream, much still needs to change. “Driverless vehicles should be a very calm and serene way of getting from A to B. But not every human driver around it will be behaving in that way,” says David Hynd, chief scientist for safety and investigations at TRL.

“It’s got to be able to cope with human drivers speeding, for instance, or breaking the rules of the road.” And that’s not the only challenge. There’s regulation, rethinking the Highway Code, public perception, improving the infrastructure of our streets, towns, and cities, and the big question of ultimate liability for road accidents.

Gregor Johann Mendel, born on July 12, 1822, was an abbot at the Augustinian St. Thomas’s Abbey. Because of his pioneering contribution to Genetics, he is considered the father of Genetics. In 1856, Mendel began a decade-long research project to investigate patterns of inheritance. Although he began his research using mice, he later switched to honeybees and plants such as fruit trees, flowers, and vegetables and ultimately, he selected garden peas as an experimental material to test his hypothesis on inheritance.

In 1865, Mendel presented the result of his experiment with nearly 30,000 pea plants to the local natural history society. He demonstrated that traits are transmitted faithfully from parents to offspring in a specific pattern. In 1866, he published his work, Experiments in Plant Hybridization in the proceedings of the Natural History Society of Brunn. Although his findings were neglected by the then-scientific committee, based on his findings, he formulated three laws to explain the pattern of trait inheritance from parents to descendants. Later in the early 1900s, his scientific contributions were recognized by the scientific community following the rediscovery of Mendel’s findings by Hugo de Vries and other scientists. Mendel found the pea plant has various contrasting characteristics among its different varieties. Moreover, due to the specific floral features such as self-compatible bisexual flowers that can undergo self-pollination without interference from other plants, he found pea plants as the best material for his hybridization experiments.
