THE INVENTION OF BANKING

provided secure places for the safekeeping for grain and other commodities Receipts came to

be used for transfers not only to the original depositors but also to third parties Eventually, private houses in Mesopotamia also got involved in these banking operations, and laws regulating them were included in code of Hammurabi, the legal code developed not long afterwards

In Ancient Egypt too, the centralization of harvests in state warehouses led to the development of a system of banking Written orders for the withdrawal of separate lots of grain

by owners whose crops had been deposited there for safety and convenience, or which had been compulsorily deposited to the credit of the king, soon became used as a more general method of payment of debts to other people, including tax gatherers, priests and traders Even after the introduction of the coinage, these Egyptian grain banks served to reduce the need for precious metals, which tended to be served for foreign purchases, particularly in connection with military activities

The air above our head is becoming cleaner A breath of fresh air has been running right round the planet for the past five years The planet is apparently purging itself of pollution

Paul Novell of the University of Colorado, the co-author of a report on this phenomenon says,

“It seems as if the planet’s own cleaning service has suddenly got a new lease of life

Suddenly, there are a lot of changes going on up there”

Estimates of the death toll from urban smog have been steadily rising, so the new cleaner

trend could have significant consequences for lifespan in cities as well as for the planet itself The sudden and unexpected reversal of several decades of worsening pollution extends from the air in city streets to the remotest mid-Pacific Ocean and Antarctica

Among the pollutants which have begun to disappear from the atmosphere are carbon monoxide, from car exhaust and burning rain forests, and methane from the guts of cattle, paddy fields, and gas fields Even carbon dioxide, the main gas behind global warming, has fallen marginally

There are two theories about why pollution is vanishing First that there is less pollution to start with by dint of regulations to cut down urban smogs and acid rain starting to have a comprehensive impact Second, that the planet may be becoming more lucrative at cleaning

up

The main planetary clean-up agent is a chemical called hydroxyl It is present throughout the atmosphere in tiny quantities and removes most pollutants from the air by oxidizing them The amount of hydroxyl in the air has fallen by a quarter in 1980s Now it may be reviving for

two reasons: ironically, because the ozone hole has expanded, letting in more ultraviolet

radiation into the lower atmosphere, where it manufactures hydroxyl Then the stricter controls on vehicle exhausts in America and Europe may have cut global carbon monoxide emissions, thereby allowing more hydroxyl to clean up other pollutants

Question 36: Which of the following sentences is NOT true?

A Ultraviolet radiation increases production of hydroxyl

B There is a difficulty in destroying carbon dioxide by hydroxyl

C The reduction in the ozone layer is beneficial to hydroxyl

D Oxidization of pollutants is carried out by hydroxyl
