Directions for the following three questions (Q.
65 to 67) :
Read the passage and answer the questions that
follow. Your answers to these questions should
be based on the passage only.
Like many people I was convinced that the broad
range of health benefits that physical activity
offers including weight loss, lower blood pressure
and cholesterol levels and hardier immune
system. So three times a week I sweated on a
treadmill and exercise bicycle at my local gym.
At the end of two months, I was trimmer, more
energetic, and felt fitter. If I could accomplish
this by working three times a week, I reasoned,
the more exercise should bring me even greater
benefits.
In the next six months, I included an hour long
running six times a week and initially felt an
improved fitness level. However, soon I was
plagued by muscular soreness and aching knees.
I felt fatigued rather than fresher after a work
out. What is more? I found myself suffering from
frequent colds. Wasn't the exercise meant to
protect me from all this?
Exercise only up to a point. A prescription of
exercise does not mean running to the point
of lameness or swimming endless laps until
your arms cramp. So, forget 'no pain, no gain'.
The key to maximizing the benefits of exercise
is a safe and sensible programme. Choose exercises
that are safe and enjoyable and will
stay with you a life time. The initial enthusiasm
of high impact exercises gives way to
diminishing enjoyment.
65. To get maximum benefits of exercise one must
(a) follow a rigid fitness routine
(b) do high impact exercises
(c) exercise infrequently
(d) follow a guided exercise schedule
66. 'Work out' in this passage means
(a) a cessation of physical exercise
(b) to work outdoors
(c) a session of physical exercise
(d) anything that works eventually
67. One feels fatigued because of
(a) over-exercising
(b) long working hours
(c) poor diet
(d) lack of exercise
68. Give the correct meaning of the word 'osmosis'.
(a) Burning off of impurities
(b) Movement of underground water in an
oasis
(c) Movement of liquid through a membrane
(d) Lowering of the freezing point
69. Transform the following sentence without a
change of meaning.
"Besides being poor he is in debt"
Choose your answer from the following:
(a) He is poor inspite of his debt
(b) He is poor so he is in debt
(c) He is poor yet he is in debt
