2. Read the following passage and answer the questions given at the end. (The answer must be in your own words.
Space travel is by far the most expensive type of exploration ever
undertaken by man. The vast expenditure of money and human effort now
being devoted to projects for putting man into space might well be
applied to ends more practically useful and more conducive to human
happiness. It is a strange world in which tens of millions of pounds are
spent to give one man a ride round the earth at thousands of miles an
hour, while beneath him in his orbit live millions for whom life is a
daily struggle to win a few coins to buy their daily bread. The money
and effort that go into the development and construction of a single
type of space-rocket would more than suffice to rid several countries of
such scourge as malaria or typhoid fever, to name only two of
the diseases that medical science has conquered but still persist in the
world simply because not enough money and effort are devoted to their eradication.Why
should the richer countries of the world be pouring their resources
into space when poverty and disease on the earth are crying out of
relief? One could give a cynical answer to this question and assert that
man's expensive adventures into space are merely the by-products of the
struggle between great powers for prestige and possible military
advantage.
Questions:
(i) Why is it a strange world?
(ii) Why do malaria and typhoid still exist in the world?
