The third great defect of our civilisation is that it does not know what to do with its knowledge. Science has given us powers fit for the gods, yet we use them like small children. For examples, we do not know how to manage our machines. Machines were made to be man's servants; yet he has grown so dependent on them that they are in a fair way to become his masters. Already most men spend most of their lives looking after and waiting upon machines and the machines are very stern masters. They must be fed with coal and given petrol to drink and oil to wash with and they must be kept at the right temperature. If they do not get their meals when they expect them, they grow sulky and refuse to work or burst with rage and blow up and spread ruin and destruction all round them. So we have to wait upon them very attentively and do all that we can to keep them in a good temper. Already, we find it difficult either to work or play without the machines and a time may come when they will rule us altogether just as we rule the animals.

Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow.

Louis Pasteur, a French chemist and microbiologist, was one of the most important founders of medical microbiology. He was born on 27th December in 1822, in France. Pasteur's contributions to science , technology and medicine are nearly without precedent. He poineered the study of molecular asymmetry; discovered that microorganism cause fermentation and disease; originated the process of pasteurisation: saved the beer, wine and silk industries in France; and developed vaccines against anthrax and rabies.

Pasteur's academic positions were numerous, and his scientific accomplishments earned him France's highest decoration, the Legion of Honour, as well as election to the Academie des Sciences and many other distinctions. The theoretical implications and practical importance of Pasteur's work were immense. Pasteur once said,  "There are no such things as pure and applied science; there are only science and the application of science. "Thus, once he established the theoretical basis of a given process, he investigated ways to further develop industrial applications. However, Pasteur did not have enough time to explore all the practical aspects of his numerous theories. One of the most important theoretical implications of his later research, which emerged form his attenuation procedure for vaccines, is the concept that virulence is not a constant attribute but a variable property - a property that can be lost and later recovered.
