Read the passage and answer the following questions.
"There is always someone worse off than you."
Once upon a time, the rabbits of Jim Corbett were so terrorised by the other animals, they did not know where to go. As soon as they saw a single animal approach them, off they used to run. One day, they saw a troop of wild horses stampeding about and in quite a panic all the rabbits scuttled off to a lake close by, determined to drown themselves rather than live in a continual state of fear. But just as they got near the bank of the lake, a troop of frogs frightened in their turn by the approach of the rabbits, scuttled off and jumped into the water.
"Truly," said one of the rabbits, "things are not so bad as they seem." There is always someone worse off than you.

Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow.

Once upon a time, everybody "did" science, for their own amusement and excitement. All of us, as children, are scientists too - testing substances on our tongues, discovering gravity, peering under rocks, seeing patterns in the stars, wondering what makes the night scary and the sky blue.

Partly because the educational system has taught science only in a reductionist, left-brain style and partly because of society's demands for practical applications of technology, the love of science fades quickly for most youngsters. Those who love nature but dislike dissecting small animals soon learn to avoid high-school biology. Students who enroll in psychology courses, hoping to learn something about how people think and feel, find themselves learning more about rats and statistics than they ever wanted to know.

According to the author, all children are scientists because they __________.

Aare amused and excited by science
Bare curious about some things
Care taught science in school
Denjoy peeping into things, tasting and wondering
