Not really so

The real story behind that passage is the following:

scientists, studying the reflecting which is a squid protein that shields the animal making it almost invisible, would be able to mimic this process not only to create something useful through which we could reflect something else for the purpose but also the biomolecular engineering process behind all this stuff could help us to hack the cells for other broad purposes


Hope this helps

Hi Priyanka92

Appreciate your effort for trying and I encourage you to do so more often!!

I have made the above edits. As I don't have any official answer to these writeups, but this is my take. The article does not talk about the origin rather it gives a brief introduction about it. As for the removal the last para emphasis on the removal and how can it be useful and sustainable.

Let me know if I am wrong or you have any doubts!

Hope this helps!

Summary:

The passage is started with the importance of getting the right information through the Millenium Development Goals. And no big investment hasn't proceeded for making health information available for all. And then showed with statistics that because of the scarcity of healthcare information in different countries people aren't getting the proper care for severe diseases and many of them are dying when the cure is available. Govt. are also in lack of sharing the health information while analysts are suggesting to make this info sharing with mass people as political and civil rights.

Good job

NASA was an having an arbitrary motion in space which was unexpected so they turned to Roscosmos, Russia’s -space agency. NASA lost their communication but later on they found that it was another russian module. However, there was software glitch, the 7 astronauts from NASA were felt that they were absolutely fine. As it is said that astronauts are always in danger, they don't want to reveal any kind of information regarding ISS. So NASA manager giving an example of Roscosmos, when crew scoured the station they found a tiny hole in a Soyuz capsule in russian astronaut vehicle. In past years, astronaut was only the person to travel to space, now even billionaire person can visit the space. ISS has great technology and soon we can visit and explore the space.

Good but some detail more about the intervention.

Good

Hi There!

A good one! This is how I would try to summarize, this might help and let me know if I am wrong

P1: This para gives us a background about what happened and how did NASA try to find the issue by reaching out to Roscosmos.
P2: Gives us further details about the issue, and the cause. And gives an expert view on the danger experienced/not experienced by the astronaut
P3: Further delineates the danger astronauts are in, by giving an expert opinion and providing examples of past incidents.
P4 The author then discusses the autonomy of the space flights by giving examples that billionaires have already started flying and they made it look easy but it remains dangerous for professional astronauts and tourists
P5: Discusses about ISS, and how it is like a home, but this notion does not lasts long and a sudden fire can jolt the astronauts back in reality and lasts with them even after the go to space.

How does the above help?

If you focus on nouns, you are trying to remember the whole passage even the details, try to limit the use of nouns in the summary. Focus only on those which act important like NASA in some sentence and Roscosmos in other. Writing a paragraph summary also help you to quickly answer question based on a particular paragraph like what role does xyz paragraph play, so instead of looking at the whole para a summary gives you a concise picture and also to the main idea of the whole passage along with each paragraph's relation with the other.

Hope this helps!
