READ THE PASSAGE AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS THAT FOLLOW.

The going was not easy for Taro. Orphaned at a young age, he travelled from village to village, doing odd jobs for a living.
One hot afternoon, he came to a riverbank and sat down under a shady tree. As he looked around, he saw a monk sitting in deep meditation. A serene smile rested on the lips of the wizened and wrinkled face. He seemed unperturbed by the heat or the flies buzzing around him. Taro gazed in awe as he thought, "That monk is so much at peace. He has no worries. I want to be like that."
When the monk opened his eyes, his amused glance fell upon the curious young man. Taro folded his hands in greeting and said, "Revered teacher, I want to become a monk. Please accept me as your disciple."
The monk simply asked, "Why?" Taro replied, "Because I want to find God." In a flash, the monk leapt up from where he was sitting and grabbed Taro by the scruff of his neck. He dragged the youth to the river and plunged his head into the water, holding it there. Taro flailed his arms and legs to no avail. The monk was surprisingly strong.
After a minute, the monk released him. Taro's body contorted with pain as he coughed up water and desperately gasped for air. After he quietened down, the monk asked, "Tell me, what did you want most of all when you were under water?"
Taro answered, "Air!" "Very well," said the monk, "When you want God as much as you wanted air, come to me then."

Read the passage and answer the question that follow.


1. There are many reasons why you would not want a pet, fr om the environmental to some health concerns, however, there is a growing argument that having a dog might remedy many of the modern world’s health issues. From the emotional and social impact of their presence to the physical and mental benefits, having a dog or cat apparently makes quite a difference.
2. Some pets such as dogs need regular activity, so you’ll also be signing up for brisk daily walks to help your furry friend keep in shape. According to a recent survey, 36 per cent of pet owners said that having a pet has helped them lose weight through doing more exercise. All this walking also means that having an animal can even have an impact on your social life.
3. Just having a pet around the home can boost your mood, especially after a busy day or even following a difficult conversation. It’s easy to relax as you walk through the front door and see your beloved pet, desperate for your affection. They are also reported to boost the immune system and as a strange twist improve your gut health too. There are surveys that suggest that children who lived with dogs in the house were less likely to suffer from hay fever and were less allergy prone in general.
4. This doesn’t mean everybody should own a pet and to be fair the research has mostly been done with dogs. The environmental impact of owning a dog is quite shocking and it would be highly capricious and harmful to the environment. In response to the positive impact animals have on people there are more petting zoos sometimes known as city zoos opening up to the public in large urban areas. There are also organisations that take dogs and cats to hospitals, schools, and care homes.
