Passage 1 Question 111 - 130

Google began in 1996 as a project by Larry Page and Sergey Brin. Larry and Sergey were both studying at
Stanford University California. In their research project they came up with a plan to make a search engine that ranked
websites according to the number of other websites that linked to that site (and ultimately came up with the Google
we have today). Before Google, search engines had ranked sites simply by the number of times the search term
searched for appeared on the webpage, and the duo set out to make a more “aware” search engine. The domain
google.com was registered on September 14th 1997 and Google Corporation was formed a year later in September
1998. Google started selling advertisements with its keyword searches in 2000, and so Google Adwords/Adsense
was born. These advertisements used a system based on the pretense that you only paid for your advertising if
some clicked on your ad link – hence the term Pay Per Click (PPC) was born. The term PageRank was patented in
September 2001 – this term is actually named after co-founder Larry Page and not, as some think, named because it is
the rank of a page (webpage). Also in 2001 co-founder Larry Page stood down as the CEO of Google and former CEO of
Novell Eric Schmidt was appointed as the new CEO of Google. Google moved its offices to its large Google
estate (nicknamed GooglePlex) in Mountain view California in 2003, and is still based there today. In 2004, Google
launched its own free web-based email service, known as Gmail. This service was made to rival the free online mail
services supplied by Yahoo and Microsoft (hotmail). This new free email service shook up the very foundation of free
email with its enormous 1 GB of email storage which dwarfed its rivals’ ten-fold. In 2004 Google launched Google
Earth. Google Earth is an amazing creation that is a map of the earth based on satellite imagery. Google also owns
storage services like Google drive. Google also has useful services like hangouts, docs, playstore, YouTube etc.

Passage 2 Question 131 - 150

Yoga’s history has many places of obscurity and uncertainty due to its oral transmission of sacred texts and the
secretive nature of its teachings. The early writings on yoga were transcribed on fragile palm leaves that were easily
damaged, destroyed or lost. The development of yoga can be traced back to over 5,000 years ago, but some
researchers think that yoga may be up to 10,000 years old. Yoga’s long rich history can be divided into few main
periods of innovation, practice and development.

Pre-Classical Yoga
the beginnings of Yoga was developed by the Indus-Sarasvati civilization in Northern India over 5,000 years ago.
The word yoga was first mentioned in the oldest sacred texts, the Rig Veda. The Vedas were a collection of texts
containing songs, mantras and rituals to be used by Brahmans, the Vedic priests. Yoga was slowly refined and
developed by the Brahmans and Rishis (mystic seers) who documented their practices and beliefs in the
Upanishads, a huge work containing over 200 scriptures. The most renowned of the Yogic scriptures is the
Bhagavad-Gîtâ, composed around 500 B.C.E.

Classical Yoga
In the pre-classical stage, yoga was a mishmash of various ideas, beliefs and techniques that often conflicted and
contradicted each other. The Classical period is defined by Patanjali’s Yoga-Sûtras, the first systematic presentation
of yoga. Written sometime in the second century, this text describes the path of Raja Yoga, often called
“classical yoga”. Patanjali organized the practice of yoga into an “eight limbed path” containing the steps and stages
towards obtaining Samadhi or enlightenment. Patanjali is often considered the father of yoga and his Yoga-Sûtras still
strongly influence most styles of modern yoga.

Post-Classical Yoga
A few centuries after Patanjali, yoga masters created a system of practices designed to rejuvenate the body and
prolong life. They rejected the teachings of the ancient Vedas and embraced the physical body as the means to
achieve enlightenment. They developed Tantra Yoga, with radical techniques to cleanse the body and mind to break
the knots that bind us to our physical existence. This exploration of these physical-spiritual connections and body
centered practices led to the creation of what we primarily think of yoga in the West: Hatha Yoga.
