Questions 8190 are based on the following passage

Though pinioned swans generally seem happy under proper care by hatching and rearing their young without any trouble at migration time things become different they repeatedly swim to the lee side of the pond in order to have the whole extent of its surface at their disposal trying to take off Again and again the grand preparations end in a pathetic flutter of their half wings a truly sorry picture
This however rarely awakens the pity of the zoo visitor least of all when such an originally highly intelligent and mentally alert animal has deteriorated in confinement into a crazy idiot a very caricature of its former self Sentimental old ladies the fanatical sponsors of the societies for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals have no compunction in keeping a grey parrot in a relatively small cage or even chained to a perch Together with the large corvines the parrots are probably the only birds which suffer from that state of mind common to prisoners namely boredom

Questions 8190 are based on the following passage
what does the middleman do but add to the price of goods in the shops Such remarks are aimed at the intermediate operations between manufacturers and final customers This practice usually attracts a lot of attention from the public and the press and the operation most talked about is what is often called wholesaling
The wholesaler buys goods in large quantities from the manufacturers and sells them in smaller parcels to retailers and for this service his selling price to the retailer is raised several percent higher But his job is made more difficult by retail demand not necessarily running level with manufacturer to some extent from the effect on production of changing demand and having to bear the whole risk
The manufacturer can then keep up a steady production flow and the retailer has no need to hold heavy stocks who can call on the wholesaler for supplies any time This wholesale function is like that of a valve in a water pipe The middleman also bears part of the risk that would otherwise fall on the manufacturer and also the retailer
The wholesaler provides a purely commercial service for which he is too well rewarded But the point that is missed by many people is that the wholesaler is not just someone adding to the cost of goods It is true one could eliminate the wholesaler but one would still be left with his function that of making sure that goods find their way to the people who want them
