READING COMPREHENSION
Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follow:
Achoo!
Achoo! We all sneeze sometimes. Sneezing is a reflex that your body does automatically. That means you
cannot make yourself sneeze or stop one once it has started. When you sneeze, your body is trying to get
rid of bad things in your nose, such as bacteria. You have extra germs when you have a cold, so you sneeze
a lot more. You might also sneeze when you smell pepper! Inside our nose, we have hundreds of tiny hair.
The hair filters the air you breathe. Sometimes dust and pollen find their way through the hair and bother
your nasal passages. The nerves in the lining of your nose tell your brain that something is invading your
body. Your brain, lungs, nose, mouth and the muscles of your upper body work together blow away the
invaders with a sneeze. When you sneeze, germs from your nose get blown into the air. Using a tissue or
“sneezing into your sleeve” captures most of these germs. It is very important to wash your hands after
you sneeze into them, especially during cold and flu season. Do you ever sneeze when you walk into bright
sunlight? Some people say that happens to them often. Scientists believe the UV rays of the sun irritate the
nose lining of these people, so they sneeze. If someone nearby sneezes, remember to tell them
“Gesundheit!” That is a funny-looking word which is pronounced “gezz-oont-hite.” It is the German word
that wishes someone good health after sneezing.
1. Which parts of your body work together when you sneeze? 2. What does the German word ‘Gesundheit’ mean?
a. I wish you good health. b. I wish you God's blessings. c. I wish you a good day.
d. I wish you would stop sneezing.
3. Why do people sneeze when they walk into bright sunlight?

Nothing was in my head
Except two heavy eyes
Like balls of burning lead.
And when it grew so black That I could know no place I lost all judgment then, Of distance or of space.
The street lamps, and the lights
Upon the halted cars,
WORKSHEET-13
I saw the fog grow thick
Which soon made blind my ken?
It made tall men of boys,
And giants of tall men.
A man passed by me close, I asked my way, he said,
"Come, follow me, my friend " -
I followed where he led.

Worksheet -6 (Story Building)
Once there was a scientist. His name was Charles. He created a robot and named it Jim. It
was an automatic robot and performed all operations. He followed the commands through
various signals. The scientist had an assistant. His name was Bob. He was not a good man.
He planned to steal the robot to misuse its powers. He also wanted to give it some
supernatural powers. He stole the password to start the robot. While he was trying to take
away the robot, an engineer from the scientist’s lab saw him and informed Charles. He
caught his assistant and handed him to the police. Charles, the scientist not only thanked the
engineer for his courage but also rewarded him with a good amount of money.

4. Long Answer Questions:
(a) All those things which are useful to us are called resources. Air, water, land etc. all are
resources. Air, water, plants, forests, land, soil, etc. are natural resources. They are all gifts
from nature which help us to fulfill our daily needs.
(b) -Plants provide food to humans and animals. Trees provide shelter to animals and birds.
Tree wood is used as fuel. It is also used for making houses.
-Roots, leaves, barks and stems of some plants are used for making medicines.
-Plants are renewable resources.
Animals give us milk, eggs and meat. They are used as transport to carry goods and people.
They are also used to work in the fields. Like plants, animals are also renewable resources.
(c) Resources which are not easy to replenish or renew are non-renewable resources. These
resources are available in limited quantity and take thousands of years to be renewed by
nature.
-Minerals, coal and petroleum are such examples of non-renewable resources.
5. Beyond the text (HOTS Question):
Page 12 of 12
(a) Large wind farms are required for setting up windmills. These farms need vast areas
which do not have trees and buildings. The ideal place for windmills is where constant and
non-turbulent wind flows throughout the year. Places near the sea are considered to be the
most ideal places for setting up windmills.
(b) Solar energy is not used extensively in our lives because:-
The Sun’s energy is not available at all the places and in all the seasons.
It is more expensive to produce electricity from the Sun as compared to coal or water
sources.
