Answer the following questions :
( a) How does spending lead to psychological problems? Spending money does the same psychological problems at all times?
(b) What are the prevailing behaviour traits of salespersons? How do they induce the consumers?
(c) Why should customers be aware? What is the best way to manage the habit of spending?
(d) What are the attributes of overspending people? Why do children insist on buying things?
(e) Why does the author discourage buying with credit cards? What lesson can young people learn?
a.) Spending leads to psychological problems when it becomes addictivE- People who overspend may never feel satisfied and always seek more, leading to stress and unhappiness, potentially causing financial crisis and debt. However, spending money doesn't always create psychological problems; it depends on how and why we spend.
b). Nowadays, salespersons are persuasive and tactful, using flattering language and creating a sense of urgency to provoke customers into making immediate purchases. They do this to sell, more and make more
money. However, it's important for customers to remember that these compliments are often used on many customers to increase profits.
c). Customers should be careful as they can easily be influenced by persuasive sales tactics or flashy advertisements, causing them to spend too much on things they don't really need. The best way to control spending is to ask themselves if the item is truly necessary and if they can do without it.
d.) Characteristics of overspending people include a constant lack of satisfaction, an ongoing pursuit of brand names, and the habit of purchasing items beyond their financial abilities. Children might demand something for them because their friends have it too, putting unfair pressure on their parents.
E- )The author discourages buying with credit cards because it can lead to accumulating debt, particularly for young people who may not fully comprehend the consequences. Using credit cards can result in a a debt trap if not managed carefully. Young people can practice responsible spending by knowing that using credit cards is like borrowing money; they should be careful not to overspend and get into debt

He was credited with many miracles. For example, he could supposedly calm dangerous animals and make them docilE- He is usually depicted in paats or scroll paintings riding a fierce-looking Bengal tiger, a snake in his hand, but in no apparent danger. According to some stories, he also fought crocodiles who threatened the people of a region full of canals and creeks, indeed, a kind of watery jungle bordering the Bay of Bengal. Because of his alert and vigilant presence, all predatory animals were said to have been kept within bounds. It was also believed that he enabled villagers to live close to forests and jungles and cultivate their lands. Consequently, people of these regions would pray to him for protection. The story of Gazi Pir has been preserved in folk literature as well as art and has been performed in indigenous theatrE- In fact, some Gazir paat scrolls are part of the collection of the British Museum..

- Read the passage and answer the questions A and B.Adolescents constitute a nation's core resource for national renewal and growth. Adolescence is a period in life when transition from childhood to adulthood takes place and behaviours and life styles are shaped. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), adolescence is the period which shapes the future of girls' and boys' lives. There are 28 million adolescents in Bangladesh; 13.7 million of them are girls and 14.3 million boys. The situation of adolescent girls in Bangladesh is characterised by inequality and subordination within the family and society. This inequality leads to widespread practice of child marriage, marginalisation or exclusion from health, education and economic opportunities, and vulnerability to violence and sexual abusE- In Bangladesh, the legal age of marriage is 18 for girls and 21 for boys. However, 33 percent of adolescent girls are married before the age of 15 and 60 percent become mothers by the age of 19. Research finds that adolescents with higher level of education and from more affluent families tend to marry at a later agE- Boys, however, become ready for marriage only after several years of adolescence and young adulthood.
- Read the passage and answer the questions A and B.I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justicE- I have a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. I have a dream that one day in Alabama, with its vicious racists, with its governor having his lips dripping with the words of 'interposition' and 'nullification', that one day right down in Alabama little black boys and black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers. I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made plain, and the crooked places will be made straight, “and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together”. With this faith we will be able to hew out of the mountain of despair a stone of hopE- With this faith we will be able to transform the jangling discords of our nation into a beautiful symphony of brotherhood. With this faith we will be able to work together, to pray together, to struggle together, to go to jail together, to stand up for freedom together, knowing that we will be free one day ...... So, let freedom ring from the prodigious hilltops of New HampshirE- Let freedom ring from the mighty mountains of New York, Let freedom ring from the heightening Alleghenies of Pennsylvania........ . Let freedom ring from every hill and molehill of Mississippi. From every mountainside, let freedom ring. When we allow freedom ring, when we let it ring from every village and every hamlet, from every state and every city, we will be able to speed up that day when all of God’s children, black men and white men Jews and Gentiles, Protestants and Catholics, will be able to join hands and sing in the words of the old Negro spiritual, “Free at last! Free at last! Thank God Almighty, we are free at last!”

- Read the passage and answer the questions A and B.When adolescent girls are pulled out of school, either for marriage or work, they often lose their mobility, their friends and social status. The lack of mobility among adolescent girls also curtails their economic and non-formal educational opportunities. Moreover, they lack information about health issues. According to a study, only about three in five adolescents have even heard of HIV. It is also reported that more than 50 percent of adolescent girls are undernourished and suffer from anaemia. Adolescent fertility is also high in Bangladesh. The contribution of the adolescent fertility rate to the total fertility rate increased from 20.3% in 1993 to 24.4% in 2007. Moreover, neonatal mortality is another concern for younger mothers. While the situation for adolescent boys is somewhat better, many are vulnerable and lack the power to make decisions about their own lives. Many boys who are unable to go to school, or are unemployed, remain unaware of social or health issues. They are at considerable risk of being drawn into criminal activities. They are also more likely to get exposed to drugs and alcohol causing irreparable damage to their health and lifE-
