*Comprehension of 2nd slot...*

Once upon a time, a merchant went to trade in the European countries. While wandering in the market, he came across a very beautiful and valuable crystal ball. The merchant was attracted by its dazzling brilliant light and so, he bought it. He made up his mind to gift the beautiful crystal ball to his king.
After trading, the merchant boarded a ship and set sail for his country. One night when the ship was nearing the coasta, violent storm hit the sea. The ship in which the merchant was traveling was wrecked and it sank into the coast and reached his country.
The merchant then met the king and told him about the wonderful crystal ball which had sunk into the see along with the ship. The king got curious and eager to know more the crystal ball. He made up his mind to get the crystal ball. So, he sent for his most efficient divers and ordered them to go to the bottom of the sea and get the valuable crystal ball.
The divers went to the bottom of the sea and searched for the crystal ball, but they could not find it. Soon the news of the crystal ball spread round the city. When a fisher man heard about it, he went to the royal count and said, "Your highness, I am prepared to go to the bottom of the sea and get the crystal ball for you."
When the fisherman said these words, some divers who were present in the court started laughing. They made fun of the poor fisherman's look and and his clothes. The king however asked the fisherman to get him crystal ball from the sea.
The fisherman and his wife sat in their boat and reached the place where the ship had sunk into the sea. He tied a thick and strong rope round his waist and jumped into the sea.
When the fisherman reached the bottom of the sea, he saw many small rocks there. He spotted a variety of fishes in the hollow of those rocks. After a long and tiring search, he suddenly saw the crystal ball in the hollow of rocks. He was thrilled. He immediately took the crystal ball out from the hollow and came back to the surface of the sea. His wife too, was delighted with her husband's success in getting the crystal ball.
The fisherman went to the king and gave it to him. The king was very happy to see the crystal ball. The merchant too, was equally happy. The king praised the courage and spirit of adventurous fisherman and gave him a handsome reward. Also the merchant gave a gift to the brave fisherman.

THE capital’s “airpocalypse”, the choking smog that descended on Beijing in the winter of 2012-13, galvanised public opinion and SPOOKED the government. The strange thing is, though, that information about air pollution—how extensive it is, how much damage it does—has long been sketchy, BASED mostly on satellite data or computer models. Until now.
RESPONDING to the outcry, the government set up a national air-reporting system which now has almost 1,000 monitoring stations, pumping out hourly reports on six pollutants, including sulphur dioxide, ozone and (the main CULPRIT) particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in diameter, or PM2.5. These are tiny particles which lodge in the lungs and CAUSE respiratory disease. The six are the main cause of local pollution but have little to do with climate change, since they do not include carbon dioxide, the main greenhouse gas. Scientists from Berkeley Earth, a not-for-profit foundation in America, have TRAWLED through this recent cloud of data for the four months to early August 2014, sieved out the bits that are manifestly wrong (readings where the dial seems to be stuck, for instance) and emerged with the most detailed and up-to-date picture of Chinese air pollution so far.
Pollution is sky-high EVERYWHERE in China. Some 83% of Chinese are EXPOSED to air that, in America, would be deemed by the Environmental Protection Agency either to be unhealthy or unhealthy for sensitive groups. Almost half the population of China experiences levels of PM2.5 that are ABOVE America’s highest threshold. That is even WORSE than the satellite data had suggested.
