Unseen Passage-1 Today perhaps your only association with the word ‘polio’ is the Sabin Oral Vaccine that pro- tects children from the disease. Fifty-five years ago, this was not so. The dreaded disease, which mainly affects the brain and the spinal cord, causes stiffening and weakening of the muscles, crip- pling and paralysis — which is why I am in a wheelchair today. If somebody had predicted, when I was born, that this would happen to me, no one would have believed it. I was the seventh child in a family of four pairs of brothers and sisters, with a huge 23-year gap between the first and the last. I was told that, unlike the others, I was so fair and brown-haired that I looked more like a foreigner than a Dawood Bohri. I was also considered to be the healthiest of the brood. Question: Q i. The narrator of the passage is a patient of (a) cerebral attack. (b) polio (c) diabetes (d) heart disease. Q ii. To say something about the future is to (a) verdict (b) predict. (c) addict. (d) protect. Q iii. The narrator was the seventh child in a family that had (a) one score children (b) eight children (c) nine children (d) twenty-three children Q iv. Polio, the dreaded disease, mainly affects the (a) brain and spinal cord. (b) brain and nerves. (c) heart and spinal cord. (d) brain and heart. Q v. What made the narrator look like a foreigner? (a) He was fair and brown-haired. (b) He was fair with red hair. (c) He was fair and skinny. (d) He was dark and blonde Ans. i. (b) polio ii. (b) predict iii. (b) eight children iv.(a) brain and spinal cord v.(a) He was fair and brown-haired Unseen Passage-2 There are three main groups of oils-animal, vegetable and mineral. Great quantities of an- imal oil come from whales, those enormous creatures of the sea, which are the largest of the animals remaining in the world. To protect the whales from the cold of the Arctic seas, nature has provided them with a thick covering of fat, called blubber. When the whale is killed, the blubber is stripped off and boiled down. It produces a great quantity of oil which can be made into food for human consumption. A few other creatures yield oil, but none so much as the whale. The livers of the cod and halibut, two kinds of fish, yield nourishing oil. Both cod liver oil and halibut oil are given to sick children and other invalids who need certain vitamins. Vegeta- ble oil has been known from very old times. No household can get on without it, for it is used in cooking. Perfumes may be made from the oils of certain flowers. Soaps are made from vegetable and animal product and the oils of certain flowers. 2  MODULE FOR REMEDIAL CLASSES Question: Q. i The main source of animal oil is____.

He played so sweetly that a lovely fairy came and listened to him. “Will you marry me, and play to me in my cas- tle?” she said. “Yes, yes, lovely lady!” said the shepherd. The fairy put a ring on his finger. At once he became a handsome young man dressed in princely robes. “But I must first go to Rome and bid farewell to my friends”, he said. The fairy gave him a golden coach with twelve white horses. As he rode in State to Rome, he met the young Queen of Italy, who invited him to her palace. The shep- herd saw that he had won the Queen’s heart. He resolved to marry her and become the King of Italy and let the fairy go. So, when he and the Queen were alone together, he knelt down and took her hand, saying: “Marry me, dearest and I will help you to govern Italy.” But as soon as he spoke, he turned into an old and rugged shepherd. “What is this horrible beggar doing here?” cried the Queen. “Whip him out of the palace.” Question: Q. i The fairy wanted to marry the shepherd because (a) he had saved her life. (b) he could play sweetly on his flute. (c) he was very handsome. (d) the shepherd loved her. Q. ii When the fairy put a ring on his finger, the shepherd_______.

(d) revealed his plan to marry the fairy. Answers - (i)-b,(ii)- d,( iii)-d,( iv)- c,(v)-a Unseen Passage-4 The Wright brothers did not have to look far for ideas when building their airplane, they studied birds. The act of copying from nature to address a design problem is not new, but over the last decade the practice has moved from obscure scientific journals to the mainstream. The term ‘biomimicry’, popularized by American natural-sciences writer Janine Benyus in the late 1990s, re- fers to innovation that take their inspiration from flora and fauna. Biomimicry advocates argue that with 3.8 billion years of research and development, evolution has already solved many of the chal- lenges humans now encounter. Although we often see nature as something we mine for resources, biomimicry views nature as a mentor. From all around the globe, there are countless instances where natural sources have served as inspiration for inventions that promise to transform every sector of society. One such instance occurred in 1941 when Swiss engineer, George de Mestral was out hunting with his dog one day when he noticed sticky burrs, with their hundred tiny hooks, had attached themselves to his pants and his dog’s fur. These were his inspiration for Velcro. Question: Q i. The airplane was inspired by (a) plants (b) birds (c) animals (d) flies Q ii. Biomimicry refers to designs that (a) transformed society (b) are based on scientific engineering (c) are inspired by natural things (d) arise out of man’s creativity Q iii. Biomimicry views the natural world as a (a) mine field of ideas (b) mentor (c) mine for resources (d) source of inspiration Q iv. What has helped solve many of the challenges encountered by man? (a) Evolution (b) Innovation (c) Biomimicry (d) Invention Q v. The two instances of biomimicry mentioned in the passage are (a) birds and burrs (b) copying and innovating (c) flora and fauna (d) airplane and Velcro Answers - (i)-b, (ii)-c, (iii)-b, (iv)-a , (v)- a 4  MODULE FOR REMEDIAL CLASSES Writing Ekk-f’k- e.My }kjk fu/kkZfjr Blue Print ds vuqlkj bl Section ds fy;s 16 vad fu/kkZfjr gS bu 16 vadks dk foHkktu 4 iz’uksa ds :Ik esa fd;k x;k gSA Note making with Title 04 Marks Formal/informal letter 04 marks Essay 05 Marks Picture guided composition 03 Marks Note Making :- 4×1=4 marks lcls igys passage dks de ls de rhu ckj idj mudks fy[kukA ;s gekjs points gksaxsA Writing : - zz vc gekjs }kjk passage esa fpfUgr fd, x, main points dks logical sequence esa fu/kkZfjr format esa fy[ksaxsA Main points ls related details dks point esa fy[kuk gSA Main points ,oa points dks margin ls ,d leku nwjh ij fy[ksA zz Notes cukrs le; abbreviations dk ç;ksx djsaA Format of note making Title............ 1.

Diwali is a great Indian festival. It is the festival of light; we celebrate Diwali in the month of October or November on the Amavasya of Kartik month every year. Reason of Celebration: It is believed that on this day Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya from his fourteen years exile. People of Ayodhya gave him a warm welcome. They decorated their houses with earthen lamps and distribute sweets. So we celebrate this day in his memory. Preparations: People clean and white wash their houses. The shops are painted and reset. Dec- orative items make the market look very beautiful. The Celebration: Diwali starts with Dhanteras. On this day, people buy new clothes, utensils and crackers. They buy sweets, fruits, crackers and gifts to present their friends and relatives. On the day of Amavasya, people worship Goddess Lakshmi. They pray to her to shower her blessings and wealth upon them. The Diwali night becomes the brightest night because of electric series, earthen lamps, decorative lightings etc. Children burst crackers. Advantages: Diwali is enjoyed by all the people of every caste and religion. It strengthens the national unity. People in foreign countries also remember their motherland by celebrating Diwali. Disadvantages: Some people gamble and drink on this day. This certainly is a bad practice. Like- wise bursting crackers carelessly causes great damage and loss of property and environment. Conclusion: Diwali is a festival of national importance. It brings happiness for both the rich and the poor. We should be careful in planning the expenditure for it to make it memorable. Practice: The teacher will ask the students to write other essays on the same pattern.
