All spiders are carnivorous Spiders eat insects including other spiders Scientist often divide Spiders into two groups- Web spiders produce webs to capture prey while ground spiders hunt prey directly without using a web. Almost all spiders use poison glands to kill or parlayze their prey or to defend themselves.

Contrary to popular belief most spider bites are not dangerous to humans; of the 40,000 species of Spiders only about 30 species produce bites that may cause illness. Spiders rarely attack humans they feel threatened and if they do bite, the wound is rarely serious. There is absolutely no reason to kill any spider or to call an exterminator if you have spiders in your house, as an old English saying goes, if you want to live and thrive let a spider run alive.

Q.2 Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given.
Under the present system of mass education too much stress is laid on teaching and too little on active learning. The child is not encouraged to discover things on his account. He learns to rely on outside help not on his own powers, thus losing intellectual independence and all capacity to judge for himself.

Moreover lessons in class have him mainly unoccupied and therefore bored. He has to be coerced into learning what does not interest him and the information acquired mechanically and reluctantly by dint of brute repetition is rapidly forgotten. Quite naturally the child being bored and unoccupied is also mischievous. A strict external discipline becomes necessary when there is chaos and pandemonium. The child learns to obey but not to control himself. He loses moral as well as intellectual independence.

Such are the main defects in the current system of mass education. Many other could be mentioned but there are defects in detail and can be classified under one or other of the three main categories of defects, sacrifice of the individual to the system, psychologically unsound methods of teaching and irrational methods of imposing discipline. We need a new system of universal education of the same kind as that which has proved itself so successful in the training of defectives and infants but modified so as to be suitable for older boys and girls. We need a system of individual, education.
