Our first human ancestors were a rare species. They lived under precarious conditions, exposes to rigorous of the weather, to the hostility of the wild beasts, and to the dangerous of famine that could be caused by the drought. They possessed no weapon, they probably had not mastered the use of fire and if they had language of any sort, it must have consisted of no more than a few cries. Their one weapon in the struggle for existence was intelligence and intelligence at first was very far from being so powerful a weapon as it has become. The biological usefulness of intelligence consists largely in the possibility of transmitting experience. An animal may learn from another animal what it actually sees done, but it cannot learn through narrative, a man, when he has acquired language, can do so and therefore the intelligence of each individual can become the property of the whole tribe and each generation can hand on to the next a multitude of skills which would be beyond the power of any animal species to transmit.

Questions:

1. Under what conditions did our ancestors live?

2. How would they possibly have expressed themselves?

3. What weapon did they use in their struggle for existence?

4. How can experience be transmitted without speech?

5. Suggest the suitable title of the passage?

Q3:Make a Precis of the passage and give a suitable title.25

Life is a big school, where we learn many new things every day. We suffer many misfortunes which teach us to discipline ourselves and follow a wise course of action. If we examine ourselves and search our thoughts, we find that we have many weaknesses and drawbacks. Our feelings are not true and sincere and our thoughts are not honourable and just. Our actions are false and dishonest. How can we blame others in such a case? Why should we not check ourselves in our wrong ways? Similarly, we can feel satisfied that others are also human beings and they have their own quota of faults and failures. The golden rule, therefore, is to cease lying and passing painful remarks on others. If we hear any backbiting or lose talk, we ought to turn deaf ear to it. If somebody asks us to do a wrong thing can desists from committing it with courage and apology. If we do anything wrong, we can repent and correct ourselves and keep away from it in future. Nobody asks us to do anything on pistol point. So, let us resolve to follow the right path-the path of those whom Allah Almighty has blesses and not of those whom His wrath has accursed. “Self-discipline, self –restraint and self-control” is the golden rule of life.
