 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Australian Academy acknowledges the valuable contribution

of the individuals and organizations involved in the development
of book titled “CELPIP Reading Vol. 1” , authored by Ms.
Rachna Gupta.

The work on this book started in July 2019. Since then a large
number of teachers, students and English language lovers have
made valuable suggestions which we have incorporated in this
book. It is not possible for us to acknowledge all of them
individually. We take this opportunity to express our gratitude to
them.

However, to Mr. Amit Gupta, who took great pains in going

through the entire manuscript and made valuable comments, we
are especially indebted. We are also beholden to my colleagues
who have so largely assisted us in reading and correcting the
proof sheets; in particular we are grateful to Ms. Anu Gupta for
her kindness in revising the whole work and devoting enough
time for fruitful discussions.

The contributions of the publication department in bringing out

this book are also duly acknowledged.

The book is intended to make CELPIP preparation simple and

an enjoyable experience as the learners tune in and embark on
this academic journey.

Finally, we thank the members of our family for their constant

support and encouragement.

Dear Mom and Dad,
How do I put into words what my wedding day meant to me and
the enormous gratitude I have for everything you did! For so
long, I dreamt of the day when Aiden and I would say ―I doǁ
and then you made my dream come true. Your support,
financially and emotionally, has always been there for me.
I have so many fond memories of all of us working together for
the wedding. I will always remember how you focused on what
Aiden and I wanted. There were fun times, silly times, hard work
times and times of pure joy – and you were always there for me.
Mom, shopping with you for dresses was so special – where did
you get all your patience and energy! Dad, I‘ll always remember
what you said to me before we walked down the aisle. And there
are a hundred more memories, all because of you two.
Our wedding day was an unbelievable celebration with my family
and friends. What memories I will always have!
Thank you for the wedding and reception, and thank you for the
washer and dryer you gave us. Laundromat days are over –
hooray – because of your very generous and practical gift.
I love you and adore you for everything you did for October 29,
2011. Most of all, thank you for being the extraordinary example
of how rich and full married life can be. Your marriage has been
a rock in my life and I will work hard to create a marriage as

SECTION 3-
A. Canada's culture has historically been influenced by
European culture and traditions, especially British and French.
Canada's federal government has influenced Canadian culture
with programs, laws and institutions. In general, the way of life,
family structure, cuisine, and dress are closer to those of the
United States than to those of Britain or France.

B. Canada has become a cultural mosaic in which immigrant

groups have been able to retain much of their ethnic culture. The
major metropolitan centers have provided several focal points for
artistic activity stimulated by a rapidly urbanizing society. Like the
cultures and customs of other countries, culture and customs of
Canada are very distinctive and unique. Canada occupies a very
specific piece of the world's geography.

C. Food plays an inextricable role in our daily lives. Food is such

an
essential element of people's lives that many people think of
countries first and foremost in terms of their food and cuisine.
While Canada is not known internationally for its culinary
contributions or accomplishments the way China, India, France
and Italy are, it is known in many parts of the world for its diverse
foods and foodstuffs, as well as its regional specialties and
escalating gastronomic achievements. This is due to the
incredible diversity of the country's environment, its
multicultural character, and its rapidly growing coterie of
world-class chefs, cooks and culinary specialists.

D. Canada is well known throughout the world today for the

quantity
and
quality of its fresh-water fish, ocean fish, and shellfish and the
like. Many of these delicacies are packed up in fresh, frozen, or
smoked form and shipped off to destinations in other parts of the
world in response to the high demand for them. While drink is an
essential part of the food and cuisines of all peoples and
countries in the world - think of what tea means to China and
Japan and wine and beer mean to Germany, France, and other
European countries - Canada does not have a long tradition in
this area.
E. Not in any of the paragraphs.

QUESTIONS-

1. An idiosyncratic civilization prevails in the country.

2. Country is renowned for fish farming throughout the globe.
3. Lifestyles of other countries have a large effect on the
native land‘s grounding.
4. Natives follow a single culture all over the nation.
5. Comestible, an indispensable element recognized
worldwide and an essential element for existence.
6. Canada prides in the co-existence of different
ethnic groups, languages and culture.
7. Canada‘s history has always been intertwined with that of
USA.
8. Canada is the birthplace and largest producer of maple
syrup.
9. Beverage, an unrecognized custom in the homeland.
SECTION 4-
A huge Canadian study, the largest of its kind, tested employer
reactions to résumés with English-sounding names, and
compared them to Asian names (Indian, Chinese and Pakistani).
The study found that résumés with such names are 40% more
likely to receive call-backs than résumés with Indian, Pakistani
or Chinese names. The 2011 study, ―Why do some employers
prefer to interview Mathew but not Samir?ǁ was conducted
by an economist and University of Toronto's economics
professor, Philip Oreopoulos, who sent over 12,000 résumés to
employers from 3,225 job postings, in Canada's most diverse
cities - Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

As a part of the study, two sets of identical résumés with identical

Canadian qualifications and Canadian work experience were
sent to potential employers. The only difference was that one set
had Anglophone names, while the other had Asian names. The
English- sounding résumé candidates got a substantially higher
call-backs from employers for that first crucial, foot-in-the door
interview, in all the cities that claim to be the most ‗multicultural‘!

―The study is important because it actually shows the behavior

of employers engaged in the act of discriminating, and it's like a
smoking gun and very difficult to deny the evidence of
widespread discrimination," says Jeffrey Reitz, director of ethnic
immigration and pluralism studies at the Munk School of Global
Affairs and Public Policy.

Mr. Reitz, who's worked with Professor Oreopoulos on a related

follow- up study, says that when employers were asked about
this behavior, some responded and said they were worried about
their language skills or the accent of those Asian candidates.
―So they put it down to skill deficiencies - but those skills were
visible in the resume, which showed the applicant had a
Canadian degree and had jobs in Canada, indicating that
language skills was not an issue,ǁ he points out.
QUESTIONS-

TEST 2
SECTION 1-
To Whom It May Concern:
I am writing to enthusiastically support the application of Betty
Triton as a lecturer. Betty is currently a senior graduate student
in my laboratory. She joined my group five years ago, and will
defend her thesis in about a month, March 2014. Betty has
successfully tackled all aspects of her thesis work, whether
technical or intellectual, with great determination. She has been
recognized with numerous awards and scholarships. A
manuscript on her main project will be submitted this coming
month. She is an exceptional student, among the best I have
seen in many Universities and Institutes where I have been, and
I am confident that she will excel as a scientist, teacher, and
mentor.
During her Ph.D. thesis, Betty was also a Teaching Assistant for
three graduate courses and participated in mentoring programs
for high school students. She engaged the students, directed
work and/or class, and had great insights into what worked well
in teaching. While doing this teaching or mentoring , which was
her own calling and not required by our institute, she never let
such activities keep her away from the bench, a testament to her
ability to work hard and multitask. Moreover, at a personal level,
Betty is a delight to work with. She is mature, independent, and
resourceful, knowing when and where to seek advice and help.
She is full of enthusiasm, has the right drive, and genuine
interest in teaching and in science, an analytical and keen mind,
creativity and perseverance. She multitasks with ease and does
not lose her focus on the goals she sets.
In summary, I have no doubt that Betty will be an outstanding
teacher. Please so not hesitate to call or email me if you have
any further questions.
Yours
sincerely, Lisa
Scholar

SECTION 3-
A. Montreal has had three distinct decades of rapid growth
since the mid-19th century: 1851–61, 1901–11 and 1951–61.
Demographic growth has largely been the result of an influx of
people from outside the city, as the periods of rapid growth
coincided with the arrival of large numbers of immigrants. The
most significant growth, however, was a result of internal
migration, as a significant number of French Canadians and
smaller numbers of English-speaking Canadians living in
Quebec rural areas moved to the city. Natural growth was also
a major contributing factor after the Second World War.

B. Between 1966 and 1981 the number of city inhabitants

declined, then rose slightly to stabilize at just over one million.
During that period most of the population increase occurred
in the suburban cities. In 1996, 31 per cent of the
metropolitan area population lived in Montreal proper, down
from 80 per cent in 1931. The 2002 amalgamation of the
island of Montreal altered that trend as the city population
rose to 1.8 million and to 53 per cent of the metropolitan total.

C. For most of the 19th century 98 per cent of Montreal's

population was of French or British descent. The British were
in the majority between 1831 and 1865, when French
Canadians regained first place. At the turn of the 20th century
JEWS from Eastern Europe began to
 arrive, starting the process of ethnic diversification that
accelerated during the 20th century.

D. Natural growth and overseas immigration increased

Montreal‘s population between 2006 and 2011. By 2011
francophone formed about 63 per cent of the census
metropolitan area (CMA) population; Anglophones accounted
for 12 per cent, and people whose mother tongue was
another language for 22 per cent. A further 5 per cent of the
population gave multiple responses. While most of Montreal‘s
population is made up of people from North America and
Canadians, people of French and European origins make up
a significant sector of the population. People of Southern
European, British, Italian, Irish, and Arab origins round out the
top 10 ethnic origins found in Montreal.

E. Not in any of the paragraphs.

QUESTIONS-
Q1. Anglophones dominate the Francophones by a large
difference. Q2. JEWS were the major group found in
Montreal and British.
Q3. The French speakers occupied for about 63 per cent of the
CMA population.
Q4. After the battle, natural development became the preeminent
component, partly responsible for the increase in population.
Q5. Multiculturalism increased during the 20th Centurial.
Q6. Inrush of mankind from the outskirts has affected the
statistics to flourish.
Q7.In the mid-twentieth Century, around 100 thousand of the
interurban dwellers existed.
Q8. Montreal's population declined in the 21st Century to 1.8
million. Q9. North America and Canadians occupy the major part
in Montreal.

SECTION-4
Despite this acceptance for different beliefs in Canada, some
say religion can still potentially act as a barrier that prevents
some immigrants from better integrating into Canadian society.
Not long ago, federal Minister Jason Kenney created an
unseemly stir when he justified his statement that the oath for
citizenship should not be taken wearing a niqab. The minister
said, ―To segregate one group of Canadians or allow them to
hide their faces, to hide their identity from us precisely when they
are joining our community is contrary to Canada‘s proud
commitment to openness and to social cohesion.ǁ Zunera Ishaq,
a Pakistani-born woman living in Mississauga, sued against the
ban claiming that it violated her Charter rights and didn‘t
accommodate her beliefs.
Tahir Gora, CEO and director general, Canadian Thinkers‘
Forum, says,
―There are many people who when they arrive here suddenly
turn deeply religious, even when they were totally secular in their
practices in their homeland. Many newcomers and immigrants
continue to practice voluntary segregation. They don‘t wish to
get integrated into the mainstream and this causes innumerable
problems in these communities such as gender segregation,
adherence to untenable dietary restrictions, rigid orthodoxy in
sexual mores, and a view that the rest of the world is sinful.ǁ
Gora is leading a vocal movement within Canada to highlight the
adverse effects — both sociopolitical and cultural — of orthodox
religious practices amongst immigrants to Canada. He is a
leading proponent of Canadian values, and has fearlessly raised
his voice against the radicalization of the practice of Islam in
Canada. Dr. Jagessar Das, the head of Kabir Society of Canada,
and an ardent interfaith proponent, has the best insight into the
evolving Canadian society and how
immigrants can integrate. He says, ―It doesn‘t matter which
religion one belongs to, as long as one learns acceptance of
difference. And I use the word acceptance and not tolerance
advisedly.ǁ
Che Merville, vice-president, Ontario National Democratic Party,
says,
―The amazing thing about Canada is its commitment to
inclusivity and acceptance. I think we can be secular, inclusive
and respect the human right to believe or not believe in
something greater than ourselves.ǁ Das, a previous recipient of
Canadian Immigrant‘s RBC Top 25 Canadian Immigrants Award,
quotes the 16th-century Indian spiritual seer Kabir to illustrate
this message: ―Let‘s aspire to be humans, and if we succeed in
that endeavor, we could even be divine.ǁ

PART 2-
Very fascinating article! Quite accurate knowledge has been
provided about the present scenario in Canada. However, the
influx of people from different nations has helped the country to
obtain a (Q6). Being a citizen, the benefits associated with the
beliefs of other religions are immense. In a recent survey, natives
who liked the concept of (Q7) were much more than who disliked
it. Merely, the problem arises when immigrants isolate
themselves in their own communities, (Q8), ghettos or parallel
societies where they live according to their own culture, rather
than assimilating to the native culture. Such ethnic enclaves can
be the result of (Q9). They might not learn the local language
and might eventually undermine the national unity, as well as the
cultural and religious unity of the native country. Research by
Jennifer Neal of
Michigan State University suggests that ethnic enclaves promote
(Q10) between groups and that their size, autonomy and
proximity are factors.

conversation regarding Fitness club Hey
Parry,
I just had a conversation with the YMCA general secretary Mr.
Lobson regarding the monthly and yearlong membership

The package includes one-time processing cost on all fresh

SECTION 3-
A. In the 1890s Canada began inviting settlers from all over
the world. This early understanding that welcoming
immigrants from various cultures would benefit Canada and
help the nation grow has created a culturally diverse and
welcoming home for Canadians from any background. In fact,
people who come to Canada are generally encouraged to
maintain their cultural identity, traditions, and languages. This
accounts for Canadians being famously tolerant, polite and
curious about different cultures.

B. While Canadians are patriotic to their country, and

community- minded in generally, they are also fiercely
regional in their personal lives. The province in which they
were born is usually the province they consider to define their
home. Because each region has specific geographic,
economic, political and cultural personalities the individuals
raised in each region have specific values that relate to each.
For example, in Eastern Canada people are seen as more
reserved, with old-fashioned values; in Ontario, the hub for
business in Canada, the vibe is conservative with an eye to
capitalism; in Quebec the people view themselves as a
separate cultural identity within Canada and are proud of their
French culture and heritage; in British Columbia the attitudes
are distinctly liberal and, in general, considered more
modern.
 C. Canadians are a very informal people. It is common for
people to ask, ―How are you?ǁ as a form of Hello. This
question doesn‘t require a great deal of detail and the usual
response is, ―I‘m well, and you?ǁ In Canada it‘s
acceptable to use the first name of an individual to whom
you‘ve been introduced after being invited to do so, this
usually happens shortly after the first introduction. French-
Canadians may greet with a quick kiss on each cheek,
although that is usually reserved for closer acquaintances
and friends.

D. When invited to someone‘s home for dinner it‘s customary

to bring a bottle of wine or box of chocolate. If sending flowers,
be sure to consult the florist on what is in season and
appropriate for the situation; certain flowers have specific
meaning or are used only under certain circumstances.
Canadians exchange gifts for Christmas, birthdays and gifts
are given at weddings. Although cash may be acceptable at
weddings, most other gift exchanges should not be monetary.

E. Not in any of the paragraphs.

QUESTIONS-
Q1. In the year 1890, Canada hosted an immigrant seminar for
the non- native people.
Q2. The aborigines acknowledge each other in a colloquial way.
Q3. The colonists started inhabiting during the 20th Century in
Canada.
Q4. Mostly Canadians prefer to interchange money on weddings
and Christmas Eve.
Q5. Merchandise is the focal point in Ontario, a territory of
Canada.
Q6. The expatriates are usually stimulated to escort their
lifestyles, folklore and dialects.
Q7. Canadians' are very formal with their way of interaction.
Q8. Blossoms associate a unique significance and purpose for
different occasions.
Q9. Every province has distinct moral principles which relates to
each other.

SECTION 4-
A study to be released next week by Toronto's public health
department says that air pollution kills roughly 1,000 people a
year in Canada's largest city and puts another 5,500 in hospital.
Many of the deaths and illnesses result from pollution levels
far below legislated targets, the
study says, especially in the case of nitrogen dioxide (NO 2),
much of it from car exhaust. Nitrogen dioxide is blamed for
nearly 40 per cent of the deaths and many breathing-related
hospitals stays. The study, an eight-month effort by five
researchers, says that this harm occurs
"despite the fact that NO 2 levels are many times lower than the
existing air-quality criterion." It urges that nitrogen dioxide "be
given higher priority for regulatory review and exposure-
reduction measures." Co- author Monica Campbell, who heads
the department's environmental protection office, said last night
that people killed by air pollution typically die "at least months
and possibly years" before their time. "
Using various assumptions, the researchers came up with
estimates of 730 to 1,400 deaths a year and 3,300 to 7,600
hospital admissions in Toronto. Splitting the difference, they
settled on about 1,000 deaths and about 5,500 hospital stays in
a population of 2.4 million." Although the calculations are based
on 1995 data, air quality in Toronto has not shown any
significant improvement since then, so it is reasonable to expect
these illness rates to reflect the current situation as well," they
say.
They stress that many people suffer pollution-related asthma
symptoms,
respiratory infections and other ills not counted by them. "The
premature deaths and hospitalizations documented in this study
represent only the peak of the pyramid of health effects related
to poor air quality in Toronto." According to the study, the
second-deadliest pollutant is carbon monoxide, another product
of motor exhaust.

QUESTIONS-
Q1. According to the community health department
a. Canada's population is effected by diseases every year.
b. pollution kills approximately 1,000 bodies every year.
c. NO2 is not blamed for 60% of the deaths.
d. air pollution is not a serious issue to be looked at.
Q2. This article is about
a. the provinces Europe, the United States and Canada.
b. the proportion of people who died because of unhealthy air.
c. the number of admissions in the hospital till present.
d. the consequences of miasma on the human health.
Q3. Monica Campbell reported that
a. the five researchers have not completed the survey properly.
b. NO2 is given more weightage for regulatory check.
c. humans predecease owing to the fact of pollution of the
atmosphere.
d. the data for the deaths caused due to pollution is incorrect.
Q4. Air quality calculations in Toronto
a. has not shown any significant improvement.
b. has improved since 1995 as depicted by the study.
c. has reported around 40 percent of the deaths.
d. is many time lower than the existing Nitrogen dioxide criterion.

A. Good topics of conversation are: work, studies, the weather
(a good opener), one‘s house, vacations, sports (especially
hockey, American football, baseball, water sports and,
increasingly, soccer/football) and other leisure activities.
Generally, Canadians are not comfortable talking about
salaries or personal finances and tend to steer away from
discussing emotions. Asking questions about marriage or
children can be interpreted as too personal by some.

B. Appropriate topics of discussion will depend a lot on the

crowd. Most Canadians know something about local or
national politics, but many do not concern themselves with
such issues. In any case, you will hear Canadians complain
about politics and politicians but they are also very sensitive to
how they are perceived by outsiders, so it is best to refrain
from criticizing. Many Canadians have travelled abroad and
have differing degrees of exposure to the ways of other
countries. The more they have travelled, the more curious
they are likely to be about the perceptions of foreigners; I
would not recommend making this a main topic of
conversation, however.

C. Canadians are often very proud of their natural

surroundings, Canadian weather and their heartiness with
respect to enduring the weather. Canadian musicians, writers,
film producers and actors (comedians especially) are also a
great source of pride. Men in particular are proud of Canadian
beer and hockey, although women are increasingly a part of
this sub-culture. Virtually all Canadians are eager to
distinguish themselves from Americans.
D. The best way to impress most Canadians is to show what
you have noticed is different from the United States, as there
is a great deal of sensitivity and concern about being lumped
in with our powerful
neighbour. Most Canadians see themselves as humbler,
funnier, more tolerant and/or less aggressive than Americans.
I would not recommend overly criticizing the US, however.
Canada depends on its neighbour and has strong cultural and
historical ties. Many Canadians have relatives who live in the
US.

E. Not in any of the paragraphs.

QUESTIONS-
1. Physical activities, meteorology and beverages have
been the favorite amongst different genders.
2. Discussions on remuneration is least liked by the
inhabitants, discovering a moment to abscond.
3. Canadians' persist an extrovert personality very much
alike to the Americans.
4. Status-conscious dwellers abstain from indicating the
faults of the leaders.
5. The temperament differs between the two adjoining
realm's denizens, however, both are contingent on
each other.
6. Canadians have attained a colossal amount of
cognizance about various homelands.
7. Almost all métiers are country's dignity, primarily humorists.
8. Numerous Canadian's kinsfolk have resided in adjacent

protocols of the country.
SECTION 4-
The 2018 labour shortage survey of 1,200 companies in the
small and medium sector, by the BDC Bank, shows that a mere
18% said they would use immigrants for labour shortages,
compared to 57% who disagreed with that approach. Hiring less
qualified persons, or even younger staff and retirees, were
suggested as more likely strategies that would be used to
overcome labour shortages. ―It's not that they don't want to, it's
just that it's not on their radar and not traditionally in the network
of places they would look at (and that is true), especially for
smaller companies," says Pierre Cléroux, vice-president,
research and chief economist at BDC. Mr. Cléroux says 40% of
companies in the SME (small and medium enterprise) sector are
facing labour shortages and the BDC report suggests hiring
immigrants as one of the solutions.

But Ms Sandy, an award winning professional in her field, says

that a cohesive effort to acknowledge the real reasons behind
the problems faced by newcomers is paramount. ―I can
prepare the immigrants for success, but if the broader
community isn't interested, and there's still racism and Islam
phobia, which aren't openly discussed, it doesn't matter how
much money is pumped into the programmesǁ. The government
needs to do more by way of awareness campaigns that openly
talk of the pervasiveness of racism and the way it impacts
immigrants, the value they bring to the economy and the cost to
the economy when immigrants are deskilled.

Being underemployed or unemployed results in wage losses that

run into billions of dollars, says a 2016 study by The Conference
Board of Canada, a research and policy think tank. Kareem El-
Assal, senior research associate of immigration at the Board,
says that 844,000 Canadians face a host of employment
barriers.
―Regardless of inflation, the size of growth is exponential and it
just goes to show that we really need employers and regulatory
bodies to
tackle the challenge,ǁ says Mr El-Assal. In Canada, it‘s not
uncommon for skilled immigrants to get tired, disillusioned and
not have the finances or inclination to retrain and re-certify
themselves. And, if they do have the time and money, they are
still not sure of getting a job in their chosen field of expertise.

Hi Janice,
I am at the pink of my health and hope you are also sailing in the
same boat. I recently visited the Gymboree as per your wish and
got some information for Jack and Joseph. The membership
details have been attached to the email as well but in my
opinion, their (Q1) is worth considering as they have reduced the
amount to some extent. The major advantage is that they have
special offers (Q2) offering a discount up to 50%. This means
we‘d just have to pay half the amount for Joseph. If in case, you
want to extend the classes then they have special offers to
double the class duration even. Plus, if they want to take a trial
class, it would (Q3) instead of €15 for siblings with an option of

SECTION 3-
A. The role of governments in environmental management is
difficult but inescapable. Sometimes, the state tries to manage
the resources it owns, and does so badly. Often, however,
governments act in an even more harmful way. They actually
subsidize the exploitation and consumption of natural
resources. A whole range of policies, from farm-price support
to protection for coal-mining, do environmental damage and
(often) make no economic
sense. Scrapping them offers a two-fold bonus: a cleaner
environment and a more efficient economy. Growth and
environmentalism can actually go hand in hand, if politicians
have the courage to confront the vested interest that subsidies
create.

B. No activity affects more of the earth's surface than

farming. It shapes a third of the planet's land area, not
counting Antarctica, and the proportion is rising. World food
output per head has risen by 4 per cent between the 1970s
and 1980s mainly as a result of increases in yields from land
already in cultivation, but also because more land has been
brought under the plough. Higher yields have been achieved
by increased irrigation, better crop breeding, and a doubling in
the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers in the 1970s and
1980s.

C. All these activities may have damaging environmental

impacts. For example, land clearing for agriculture is the
largest single cause of deforestation; chemical fertilizers and
pesticides may contaminate water supplies; more intensive
farming and the abandonment of fallow periods tend to
exacerbate soil erosion; and the spread of monoculture and
use of high-yielding varieties of crops have been
accompanied by the disappearance of old varieties of food
plants which might have provided some insurance against
pests or diseases in future. Soil erosion threatens the
productivity of land in both rich and poor countries. The United
States, where the most careful measurements have been
done, discovered in 1982 that about one- fifth of its farmland
was losing topsoil at a rate likely to diminish the soil's
productivity. The country subsequently embarked upon a
program to convert 11 per cent of its cropped land to meadow
or forest. Topsoil in India and China is vanishing much faster
than in America.

D. Government policies have frequently compounded the

environmental damage that farming can cause. In the rich
countries,
 subsidies for growing crops and price supports for farm output
drive up the price of land. The annual value of these subsidies
is immense: about $250 billion, or more than all World Bank
lending in the 1980s. To increase the output of crops per acre,
a farmer's easiest option is to use more of the most readily
available inputs: fertilizers and pesticides. Fertilizer use
doubled in Denmark in the period 1960-1985 and increased in
The Netherlands by 150 per cent. The quantity of pesticides
applied has risen too: by 69 per cent in 1975-1984 in
Denmark, for example, with a rise of 115 per cent in the
frequency of application in the three years from 1981. E. Not
in any of the paragraphs.

SECTION 4-
If a person suddenly encounters any terrible danger, the change
of nature one undergoes is equally great. Sometimes fear
numbs our senses. Like animals, one stands still, powerless to
move a step in fright or to lift a hand in defense of our lives, and
sometimes one is seized with panic, and again, act more like the
inferior animals than rational beings. On the other hand,
frequently in cases of sudden extreme peril, which cannot be
escaped by flight, and must be instantly faced, even the most
timid men at once as if by miracle, become possessed of the
necessary courage, sharp quick apprehension and swift
decision. This is a miracle very common in nature. Man and the
inferior animals alike, when confronted with almost certain death
‗ gather resolution from despair‘ but there can really be no trace
of so debilitating a feeling in the person fighting, or prepared to
fight for dear life. At such times the mind is clearer than it has
ever been; the nerves are steel, there is nothing felt but a
wonderful strength and daring. Looking back at certain perilous
moments in my own life, I remember them with a kind of joy, not
that there was any joyful excitement then, but because they
broadened my horizon, lifted me for a time above myself.
