Q1. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow :-
Have you ever walked through cloud of gnats on a hot summer, only to have them follow you? No matter how you swat at them, or even if you run, they won’t leave you alone. If so, then you have something in common with an atom. Atoms are the building blocks of molecules, which when combined, make up everything. Technically we can’t see individual atoms, since there are no microscopes powerful enough. Even though scientists cannot see atoms with microscopes, then have developed ways to detect them and learn about them. Atoms are made up of three basic parts; protons, neutrons and electrons. The study of atoms and tiny particles that are even smaller is called quantum mechanics. Scientists still have much to learn about atoms.
A. Tick the most appropriate options:-
(a) Atoms are:
(i) cloud of gnats
(ii) building blocks of molecules
(iii) tiny Particles
(iv) none of the above.
(b) Study of atoms is called:
(i) electrons
(ii) Physics
(iii) quantum mechanics
(iv) all the Above
B. Complete the sentences:-
(i) Study of atoms is called________________________
(ii) Protons are one of the ___________________ of Atoms.
C. Answer the following question in 15 to 20 words.
(i) Why it is not possible to see individual atoms?
Q2:- Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:-
What Australian mammal can leap 25 feet in one hop and move for short periods at 35 miles an hour? The red kangaroo. A full grown male stands as tall as foot person and weighs 200 pounds. This is slightly bigger than the grey kangaroo, making it the world’s largest marsupial. A mammal where the mother has a pouch for carrying, feeding and protecting her young, is marsupial. While a red kangaroo may be the largest marsupial, the newborn baby is tiny, under an inch long. After a few months of sleeping, nursing and growing in mom’s stomach pouch the young kangaroo (joey) begins to come out. But it hurries back to the pouch fast when frightened, hungry or cold. Eventually, the joey gets
so big it hangs out of the pouch. Then, at eight months old, it stays out. But the joey remains close to mom until ready to live on its own.
Red kangaroos are good swimmers . However, they are best known for their hopping abilities. Their long, powerful hind legs have big feet. Hopping moves them quickly over their grassy, shrubby and desert habitats. Meanwhile, a thick tail helps them balance and steer. Red kangaroos eat grass, leaves and other vegetation. And guess what- they often regurgitate food and chew their cud just like a cow.
The red kangaroo’s vegetarian diet provides much of its water. It can also go long periods without drinking. Staying in the shade, panting and limiting most activity to night time helps the red kangaroo conserve water and stay cool.
A. Tick the most appropriate options:-
(a) Red Kangaroos are:
(i) mammal
(ii) world’s largest marsupial
(iii) herbivores
(iv) all of the above.
(b) Study of atoms is called:
(i) electrons
(ii) Physics
(iii) quantum mechanics
(iv) all the Above
B. Complete the sentences:-
(i) A baby kangaroo is called a________________________.
(ii) Red kangaroos, after eating_________________________________.
C. Answer the following question in 15 to 20 words.
(i) When does a baby kangaroo come out of its mother’s pouch for the first time?

A REMARKABLE ADVENTURE
I was at my bedroom table I was rescued by an eagle
With a notebook open wide, that descended from the skies
when a giant anaconda to embrace me with its talons,
started winding up my side, to my terror and surprise,
I was filled with apprehension but that raptor lost its purchase
and retreated down the stairs, when a blizzard made me sneeze,
to be greeted at the bottom and it dropped me in a thicket,
by a dozen grizzly bears. Where I battered both my knees.
We tumultuously tussled I was suddenly surrounded
till I managed to get free, by a troop of savage trolls,
then I saw, with trepidation, who maliciously informed me
there were tigers after me, they would toast me over coals,
I could feel them growing close, I was lucky to elude them
I was quivering with fear, when they briefly looked away--
then I blundered into quicksand that’s the reason why my homework
and began to disappear. isn’t here with me today.

The Sun descending in the West; Unseen they pour blessing
The evening star does shine; And joy without ceasing

And I must seek for mine. And each sleeping bosom.
The moon, like a flower They look in every thoughtless nest
In heaven’s high bower, Where birds are covered warm;
With silent delight They visit caves of every beast
Sits and similes on the night To keep them all from harm.
Farewell, green fields and happy grove, If they see any weeping
Where flocks have took delight: That should have been sleeping,
Where lambs have nibbled, silent move They pour sleep on their head,
The feet of angels bright And sit down by their bed.
