Read the following passage carefully and answer the following questions (186-190)
Why do most people heat their food and eat it while it is still hot? There may be a
number ofexplanations for this. One is that man, who once a hunting animal, likes his
food to be at the temperature ofa freshly killed prey. Although we no longer eat freshly
killed meat, we still eat it at much the same temperature as other carnivorous animals.
Their food is hot because it has not yet cooled down, ours is hot because we have reo
heated it. Another explanation may be that since we have weak teeth, we are forced to
cook the meat to make it tender. But this does not explain why we should want to eat it
while it is still hot or why we should heat up many kinds of food that do not need
tenderizing. The third explanation is that by increasing the temperature ofthe food we
improve its flavour or taste.
In fact, we do many things to improve the flavour of our food. This goes back not to
our carnivorous nature, which is an adopted thing, but to our more ancient links with
the apes. The foods of the apes have a much wider variety of flavours than those of
carnivorous. Although a carnivore goes through a rather complex process in hunting
and killing its food, the manner in which it actually eats the food is simple and crude. It
quickly chews or swallows the food. Monkeys and apes, onthe other hand, are extremely
sensitiveto thedifferentflavoursoffood. Theyenjoy themandliketo tryoutfoodswith
different flavours. When we heat our food and put spices in it, we may be going back to
the same love of tasty food that is found in the apes. Perhaps this is why man never
became completely carnivorous.
In this connection, there is something else about man's taste for food which needs to
be considered. Why do most people have a sweet tooth -that is· why are they specially
fond ofsweetthings? This is something unknownin carnivorous animals, but typical of
the apes. AB the natural food of the apes becomes riper and more suitable for eating, it
becomes sweeter. Monkeys and apes are very sensitive to a sweet taste. Like other
membersofthe apefamily, we find ithardto resistsweetthings. Ourrelationshipto the
apes shows itselfin spite of the fact that we have a strongly carnivorous nature in our
seeking out specially sweetened substances. We have 'sweet shops' but no 'sour shops'.
We usually end a meal with something sweet, so that this is the taste which remains in
our mouths for a long time afterwards. Also when we feel the desire to eat something
betweenmeals-andthisisanotherreminderofourlinkswiththeapeworld-weusually
choose something sweet: chocolates, ice cream or sweet drinks.
186. In what manner do carnivorous animals eat their food?
By hunting and killing their food.
By using their sweet teeth.
By quickly chewing and swallowing the food.
They enjoy eating their food.

As Shanta stood absorbed in thought, the squat school peon bustled up to her, settling
his shoulder-belt that hung the opposite way to his sacred thread. He salammed Shanta
and said, "The big Bai-Sahib wants you".
"Big Bai-Sahib wants me " said Shanta to herself. Why was she being sent for?
Shantahadfinallyescapedthe clutchesofannualexaminations;butallforms ofschool
mechanics, from the annual inspections to summons from the "Big Bai-Sahib," she found
as burdensome as the big examinations, She had never quite recovered from the giddy
sensation it had given her to be caught up in the whirl ofan educational machine from
which not only spontaneous vocation but even sincere cordiality was wholly absent. As a
pupil she had been on the first floor ofthis factory, now that she had taken her degree
and attained to teacherhood, she was on the second floor; but that was all The same
harsh, inharmonious clanging continued there; same life impelled by forces
extraneous. Nowheredidthislifecontain thejoyofcreation. Therewasnothinginitto
make her inward life bloom.
Shanta's inner faculties were drying up. They were becoming dry twigs that came
near snapping at every strong gust of air. Being sent for by the Headmistress was an
occasionofthatsort. Bleakly, Shantawalkedtowardsthe schooloffice.
Cautiously she pushed open the spring half-door of the Headmistress's office and
entered. The Headmistress sat at her desk, signing routine papers. A clerk stood by,
bent deferentially, turning papers and indicating places for signature. As Shanta
appeared at the door, she spoke loudly in an extremely artificial voice: "Come in, come
in, Shantabai. Sit down here. I have almost finished. Well, no, quite a few papers yet.
Mr. Kulkarni, will you wait awhile, please?"
Kulkarni respectfully stepped away from the desk and stood staring in another
direction.
"Big Bai" delicately removed her glasses and held them by an earpiece in one hand
as she spoke. "I wanted to say to you, Shantabai, that you musthave your girls do a little
morewrittenwork. I havebeenreviewing theworkofthewholeschoolfor thelastmonth,
and that is what I think. Your class seems to be behind the others in written work. As a
matter offaet, you have plenty offree time. No distractions at home. No pulls onyou but
school work. And can it be that you still think it tiresome to examine notebooks ?... No,
no... You mustn't do that. It would be very bad for the class. The girls never get a firm
grasp of any subject till they have written the thing out. One really must have them
write out at least one question in each subject every week".
