1. Read the passage given below and do the exercises that follow.

Beating off aggressors, whether among animals or men is not enough. Everyone
must have food to live. Here too one finds that from the tiny ants at one end of
the scale to the wolves at the other end, almost all living creatures hunt or gather
food in co-operation. Not only do wolves hunt in packs, but so do many birds.
Vultures send some of their number high up on a reconnaissance flights, just as the
air forces of both sides do in a war. When any of them spots a carcass, it acts as a
signal to the others and soon the whole flock descends on it. Pelicans go fishing
together in groups. They form a half- circle facing the shore and then close in on
the surrounded fish, very much as we sometimes see fishermen with nets do in a
creek.

One of the main reasons why so many children start smoking is that they see their
seniors smoking. They think that it’s a ‘grown-up’ thing to do. Moreover, they
smoke in order to impress their friends. Quite judiciously, they are not ready to ac-
cept it when their seniors warn them about the dangers of smoking. They think if
smoking is dangerous, why do so many adults do it?

Smoking can cause cancer, bronchitis and heart disease. The nicotine inhaled from
cigarettes makes the heart beat faster and makes the arteries contract: this can

253
Dynamic English Grammar & Composition Book-6

lead to blockages in the arteries, particularly in the legs. Cancer and bronchitis are
caused by the tar and carbon monoxide taken into the lungs. Although these harm-
ful effects are well known, people continue to smoke. Some people carry on even
after having a heart attack or a leg amputated.
