Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow.

Don't let the past shape your future. Most of the events of your life have been shaped by your thoughts, attitude and expectations. If your life doesn't change and doesn't improve, it means that you are not changing your thoughts, attitude and expectations. It is like playing the same movie in your mind, over and again, and enacting it in your real life, time and again. There is no reason to cling to thoughts, beliefs, attitude and expectations. You can change them if you really want. If you change them, you will start seeing life in a different way, acting in a different way, and consequently, changing the events and situations in your life. Even if circumstances do not change, or cannot be changed, your attitude would be different, and therefore, the impact of circumstances on you would be different, milder, or even non-existent.

If your thoughts have always been negative, and you keep repeating them, how do you expect to improve your life? If you start thinking about success, instead of thinking about failure, and keep this way of thinking, in time, these thoughts would affect your life. Learn to be peaceful inside you, and you won't be troubled by external situations or circumstances, even if you cannot change them.

Have faith in yourself, and you will be in a better position to handle the affairs of your life. Positive thoughts, about a better life, will sooner or later start affecting the present circumstances and situations of your life, and shape for you, a different, better future. Live in the present moment, not in the past. The past is past. Don't let it affect your present thoughts and feelings and the situations of your future. Live in the present moment, creating new thoughts about health, happiness, and spirituality.

The greatest advantage of thinking about success is that:

Students are increasingly turning to online courses because they have become a better way to learn. Online courses offer students greater control over their own learning by enabling them to work at their own pace.Some other benefits are the engaging multimedia content, greater access to the instructor and the stimulating online interactions with other students and the teachers. All these can add to enhanced learning and improved retention.Another key feature is that online courses tend to include more frequent assessments. The more often students are assessed, the better their instructors can track progress and intervene when needed.I experienced all this myself when I completed a six-week online program through Columbia Business School. As a busy executive, the only way I was able to take such a course was online. And it proved to be an incredibly valuable and timely experience - highly relevant to my new job. I was able to do many of the lecture portions from my iPhone while sitting on a plane. I did coursework during the week and turned in weekly assignments on Sunday evening. And each Wednesday, I attended live online sessions with professors and students from around the world.Many students who have taken both face-to-face and online courses now rank their online experiences equal to or better than their more traditional classroom courses. We have reached a watershed moment when the discussion will no longer be about the relative merits of online learning, but how best to implement online programmes for maximum effect on student enrollment and success. Many students who have taken online courses feel that ______.

Maybe you're bored of bananas, apples and grapes and need a fresh produce pick. A nutrient-rich serving of kiwi fruit may be just what you need. A serving of kiwi fruit (2 kiwis) has twice the vitamin C of an orange, as much potassium as a banana and the fibre of a bowl of whole grain cereal-all for less than 100 calories! The fuzzy fruit is sky-high in both soluble and insoluble fibre, both of which are essential for promoting heart health, regulating digestion, and lowering cholesterol levels-that's a winning trifecta. Kiwi fruit has also been considered a 'nutritional all-star', as Rutgers University researchers found that kiwi fruit has the best nutrient density of 21 commonly consumed fruits.
Along with vitamin C, kiwi fruits are rich in many bioactive compounds that have antioxidant capacity to help to protect against free radicals, harmful by-products produced in the body. If you want clean energy, think of kiwi fruit because they're rich in magnesium, a nutrient essential to convert food into energy.

A kiwi fruit also doubles as a peeper-keeper by supplying your eyes with protective lutein, a carotenoid that's concentrated in eye tissues and helps protect against harmful free radicals. Kiwi fruit is also packed with blood pressure-lowering potassium. In fact, a 100-gram serving of kiwi fruit-that's about one large kiwi-provides 15% of the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of potassium.

Kiwi fruit has been growing in New Zealand for over 100 years. Once the fruit gained in popularity, other countries started to grow them including Italy, France, Chile, Japan, South Korea and Spain. At first, kiwis were referred to as 'Yang Tao' or 'Chinese Gooseberry', but the name was ultimately changed to kiwi fruit so that everyone would know where the fruit came from.

A ripe kiwi fruit will be plump and smooth-skinned, and free of wrinkles, bruise, and punctures. If you find that your kiwi is a little too firm after buying it, simply let it ripen at room temperature for three to five days. The firmer the fruit, the more tart it will taste. To speed up the ripening process, you can also place kiwis in a paper bag with an apple or banana. The kiwi will ripen in a day! If you want to store the fruit longer, you should keep it in a plastic bag in the refrigerator.

What has been referred to as a triple achievement (winning trifecta) of the kiwi fruit?

Read the following passage and answer the questions given after it.

Homeschooling, an alternative approach to education, is a way of learning outside the defined parameters of school education. It puts the parents/guardians in charge of their child's all-round development. What and how to teach is determined by the parents who might not follow the curriculum of any education board. Parents either choose not to enrol their children in schools or-as is most prevalent in India-when a school's approach doesn't align with a child's needs, they pull their children out of school.
While there are no estimates of the number of homeschooled children in India, the cities of Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru and Hyderabad seem to have most of the homeschooling communities.
In India, the concept initially catered to specially-abled children who needed more parental support. But with the rise of concerns over a stringent education system, some parents started experimenting with the approach. Other reasons include concerns about bullying, child abuse, inefficient teaching practices and children wanting to build careers outside of academics.
"Ever since I was a child, like many other parents today, I have always questioned traditional schooling. But back then people didn't pay heed to my concerns. The questions resurged when I had children; they were curious about the world around them, and we noticed that even after enrolling them in the best of schools, their emotional intelligence wasn't being acknowledged," says Sharadha Gerg (36), who has been homeschooling her two daughters since 2015. She soon realized that they wanted to be in charge of their own learning. Like many other parents, she felt that pulling them out of school and giving them an all-round education through home schooling, was the ideal way for them to grow and learn.

Many parents today, like Sharadha Gerg, believe that the education system must ___________.
