Unseen Passage 2 for Class 6 CBSE

At this stage of civilization, when many nations are brought in to close and vital contact for good and evil, it is essential, as never before, that their gross ignorance of one another should be diminished, that they should begin to understand a little of one another’s historical experience and resulting mentality. It is the fault of the English to expect the people of other countries to react as they do, to political and international situations.

Our genuine goodwill and good intentions are often brought to nothing because we expect other people to be like us.

Unseen Passage 3 for Class 6 CBSE

A homeopathy is a form of alternative medicine, first proposed by German physician Samuel Hahnemann in 1796 that attempts to treat patients with heavily diluted medicines. Homeopathic remedies are prepared by serial dilution with shaking by forceful striking, which homeopaths term succession after each dilution under the assumption that this increases the effect of the treatment. Homeopaths call this process potentization. Dilution often continues until none of the original substance remains.

Homeopathic reference books known as repertories are then consulted, and a remedy is selected based on the totality of symptoms. Homeopathic remedies are considered safe, but are criticized for putting patients at risk due to advice against conventional medicine such as vaccinations, anti-malarial drugs, and antibiotics. Depending on the dilution, homeopathic remedies may not contain any pharmacologically active molecules, and for such remedies to have pharmacological effect would violate fundamental principles of science.

Modern homeopaths have proposed that ‘water has a memory that allows homeopathic preparations to work without any of the original substance; however, there are no verified observations nor scientifically plausible physical mechanisms for such a phenomenon. The lack of convincing scientific evidence supporting homeopathy’s efficacy and its use of remedies lacking active ingredients have caused homeopathy to be described as pseudoscience.

Unseen Passage 4 for Class 6 CBSE

My next pet was a pigeon, the most revolting bird to look at, with his feathers pushing through the wrinkled scarlet skin, mixed with the horrible yellow down that covers baby pigeons and makes them look as though they have been peroxiding their hair. Because of his repulsive and obese appearance, we called him Quasimodo. Since he had an unorthodox upbringing, without parents to teach him, Quasimodo became convinced that he was not a bird at all, and refused to fly. He walked everywhere. He was always eager to join us in anything we did.

He would even try to come for walks with us. So you had to either carry him on your shoulder, which was risking an accident to your clothes, or else you let him walk behind. If you let him walk, then you had to slow down your own pace to suit his, for should you get too far ahead you would hear the most frantic and imploring coos and turn around to find Quasimodo running desperately after you.

Unseen Passage 5 for Class 6 CBSE

The idea of euthanasia, of hastening the death of someone from motives of compassion, covers two main situations. The first is where someone is close to death and can be kept alive briefly, with intensive medical care. The official reason for the use of every possible technique on patients, for whom there seems no hope, is that we never know that there is no hope of at least a brief recovery. The second situation, in which it is proposed to end the life of someone who is not expected to die at once from natural causes, is more morally doubtful.

In so far as the suggestion may be based on the notion of the ‘quality of life’ experienced by the patient, this is an inadequate approach to human beings. At one extreme we may be dealing with a birth that cannot be called ‘human’ at all: such a being likely to live at the most for only a few hours. Many feel that during this time it ought to be given ordinary nursing care. Bringing to an end of the life of say, a spastic child, by the deliberate refusal of the fullest medical care seems morally indefensible.

Question 1.
Euthanasia means
(a) a place in Asia
(b) bringing about gentle and easy death
(c) enthusiasm
(d) the youth in Asia
Answer:
(b) bringing about gentle and easy death

Question 2.
One reason for trying all possible measures to save a person is
(a) death is horrifying
(b) there is a possibility of recovery
(c) doctors need to be compassionate
(d) science may invent more sophisticated machines later
Answer:
(b) there is a possibility of recovery

Question 3.
The people who argue for euthanasia advocate it saying
(a) the patient is not living a qualitative life
(b) we must not spend quality resources on a sick person
(c) we should not bother about the ailing
(d) it can be defended morally
Answer:
(a) the patient is not living a qualitative life

Question 4.
The words ….dealing with a birth that cannot be called ‘human at all implies
(a) humans have no control over birth and death
(b) the person may survive only for a very brief period
(c) doctors are incapable of saving people
(d) the patient may want to die
Answer:
(b) the person may survive only for a very brief period

Question 5.
The writer finds it unpardonable to
(a) end the life of someone who is not expected to die at once from natural causes.
(b) end the life of a spastic child
(c) end the life of an infant who is likely to live only for a few hours
(d) end the life of a human being
Answer:
(a) end the life of someone who is not expected to die at once from natural causes.

Unseen Passage 1 for Class 6 CBSE

Everything that is alive needs energy. All animals get the energy they need from food. People are animals.

Think about the human body as an amazing machine. It can do all kinds of things for us. Food is the fuel that helps keep the amazing machine running. Plants use sunlight to make their own food. Animals are not able to do that. Some animals eat plants. Some animals eat other animals as meat. Some animals, like people, eat both plants and animals. Since plants make their own food using sunlight, the sun’s energy is found in plants.

The sun’s energy is very strong. It loses a lot of its strength by the time it goes into a plant. When we eat plants, we get more of the sun’s energy than when we eat animals. That’s why it is good to eat fruits and vegetables. When an animal eats a plant, the energy is less strong. The animal also used its energy to find the plant to eat. When a second animal eats the first animal, it gets even less energy than the first animal got. The second animal used a lot of energy to chase its prey. Like a car that has to be filled with gasoline, living things have to eat again and again. Instead of gasoline, living things use food as fuel.

Questions
1. Where do all animals get their energy?
2. Where do plants get their energy?
3. If our bodies are amazing machines, then food is our
4. Why do we get more energy from eating vegetables than we get from eating meat?

(b) run after

Fuel is a material that is burned in order to get heat and light and also to generate power. The Process of burning is a chemical reaction. A material combines with oxygen from the air and gives off energy. The energy is given off in the form of heat and light. Fuels Deepak En can also be classified as solid, liquid and gaseous. Wood was one of the first fuels used by man. It was the easiest to get the cheapest.

After wood started becoming scarce it was replaced by coal. Coal contains a high percentage of carbon. Carbon is the most important ingredient in most fuels. Fuels with a high percentage of carbon burn evenly and with a hot flame. The most important liquid fuels come from petroleum.

Unseen Passage 6 for Class 6 CBSE

Once there were only a few million people living on Earth and it took a thousand years for that number to double. There are now 3,800 million Earth dwellers and the number doubles about every thirty-five years. Men have cleared away forests to make fields for growing crops. They have moved mountains to make room for roads and cities. They have built huge dams across rivers to turn valleys into lakes and they have built dykes to push back the sea and create more dry land to live on.

Once everyone cheered at the progress that man made in changing his environment like this, but now many people are worried by the problems that such changes can bring. When the Aswan Dam was built across the River Nile in Egypt, it was meant to help the farmers by giving them water when they needed it. Unfortunately, people did not realise that much of the nourishing food for plants in the river would be trapped by the dam so the farmers’ crops would suffer.

Also, hundreds of kilometres away at the mouth of the River Nile, less fresh water pours into the Mediterranean Sea. This means that the sea will become more salty and fewer fish will be able to live in it. When this happens, people who catch fish for their living will suffer. Problems like this are caused when men look at only one part of nature and do not realise that all nature is bound up together. If one part is changed, other parts may suffer.

Questions
1. How many years did it take for the number of people to double?
2. What were the changes made in nature?
3. What did the men not realise when a dam was built across the River Nile?
4. (a) Write 2 pairs of homophones.
(b) Write 2 sets of collocation.
5. What are the earth’s resources used by you?
Answer:
1. It took a thousand years for a few million people living on Earth to double.
2. Forests were cleared, mountains were moved and rivers, valleys and the sea was also disturbed in the environment.
3. The people did not realise that much of the nourishing food for plants in the river would be trapped by the dam and the farmers’ crops would suffer.
4. (a) sea – see, by – buy.
(b) Earth dwellers, nourishing food. 5. Solar energy, land, wind, water are the earth’s resources used by me

Unseen Passage 7 for Class 6 CBSE

The Ajanta caves, we were told, lay in the side of a ravine in wild and desolate country some 350 miles to the northwest, at the extreme tip of Hyderabad state where it touches the Bombay Province. Properly speaking they were not caves at all, but temples which had been excavated from the living rock by Buddhist monks. These monks had first come to the ravine somewhere in the second century before Christ and they had begun by hacking out the rock by hand and hurling it down into the river below.

Then, probably with large mirrors to reflect the sunshine from the ravine outside, they set about the decoration of the walls, the doorways and the ceilings. They continued for the next eight hundred years, always painting and sculpturing Lord Buddha, but setting him against an idyllic background of folk tales and the everyday life of their own time. In much the same way as in the Italian Renaissance which over a thousand years later, the work was subsidised by the wealthy merchants and the princes of the surrounding countryside.

Questions
1. Who came to the ravines in the second century before Christ?
2. What did the monks use to reflect light into the caves?

Unseen Passage 8 for Class 6 CBSE

“Look after my son, while I am away,” Prince Llewellyn simply said and left for his hunt. Not long after, the hound’s fine nostrils quivered. He could catch the scent of an enemy. Indeed, there was a wolf nosing in at the doorway. Gelert, quick as lightning, leapt at the beast and the next moment the two were locked in a life and death struggle. The baby went on sleeping peacefully, unaware of any danger. But the two creatures fought savagely, Gelert to protect the infant and the wolf to devour it, for it was ravenously hungry after days of futile roaming in the hills and forests.

As they fought, blood splattered all over the walls and floor, and the wolf, getting nearer the scent of its intended prey, pushed the brave dog closer to the cradle. Panting furiously, the wolf thrust Gelert right at its base and overturned it, splattering the baby’s coverlets with blood in the process. Miraculously, the baby continued to sleep soundly, ignorant of the mortal danger it was in. But Gelert, now sensing the imminent danger to his ward, fought back, drove his opponent to the opposite corner and Csank his teeth into the wolf’s throat.

With a last dying snarl, the wolf fell back and drew its last breath. The faithful Gelert lay down, triumphant but exhausted, next to the sleeping child, now untidily covered by blood-stained blankets and coverlets. About half an hour later, Prince Llewellyn returned from his hunt and Gelert dragged himself to his feet and went to meet him. The prince was horrified at the sight that met his eyes, but most of all by the blood on Gelert’s mouth and feet. He drew his sword and in a moment of blind fury he plunged it into the heart of his faithful hound.

The dog (gave a piteous and puzzled) look at his beloved master and sank back dead with a final wailing breath. The prince heard a lusty cry from the direction of the cradle. He picked up the child and found it safe and sound. His eye then fell on the torn and bloody carcass of the wolf in the corner. In a flash, everything became clear. The prince’s grief was beyond control and for many years he could not erase the memory of that awful day from his guilty mind. Thereafter, he erected a tomb – To the Memory of a Brave Dog.

Questions
1. Why did Gelert leap at the wolf?
2. What does the word “prey” in refer to?
3. Why was it a miracle for the baby to be able to continue sleeping soundly?
4. Which word in the passage has the same meaning as the phrase ‘swallow voraciously’?
5. How was the wolf killed eventually?
Answer:
1. He wanted to prevent the wolf from going near the baby.
2. It refers to the sleeping baby
3. The fight between the dog and wolf was noisy yet the baby was unaware of what was happening.
4. The word is “devour”
5. Gelert sank his teeth into the wolfs throat Unseen

Unseen Passage 9 for Class 6 CBSE

The natural life span of a domesticated horse is about 25–30 years, 10 years down from what it was in the wild. You can tell a horse’s age from the number of teeth he has, They get all their teeth by the age of 5, after which those teeth just get longer. Horses have close to 360 degree all round vision.

The only place they cannot see is directly behind or right in front of them, which is why it’s dangerous to stand behind a horse. If they feel something behind them, they may kick first and ask questions later! It also means that they cannot see a jump once they are about four feet from it, and have to rely on memory as to its height and shape! Each of the horse’s two eyes works independently wherever a horse’s ear point is where the horse is looking.

A horse is able to sleep standing up as he is able to lock his leg muscles so that he doesn’t fall asleep. Nor do all horses in the same field ever lie down at once-one animal always stands “on look out” duty.

Questions
1. What is the life span of a wild horse?
2. Why do the horse owners cover their horse’s eyes with blinkers?
3. What prevents a horse from falling while asleep?
4. (a) They get all their teeth by the age of five. (Pick out the prepositions)
(b) If they feel something behind them they may kick. (Rewrite using ‘unless)
5. How have horses helped man through the ages?
Answer:
1. The life span of a wild horse is about 35 – 40 years.
2. The horse owners cover their horse’s eyes with blinkers since the horses have a 360 degree vision and the blinkers limit their vision only to the road ahead.
3. A horse is able to sleep standing up as he is able to lock his leg muscles so that he doesn’t fall while asleep.
4. (a) of, by- preposition
(b) Unless they feel something behind them, they may not kick.
5. The earliest mode of transport was a chariot drawn by a horse. Ever since then horses have helped man in transport. They have also played a major role in migration when there were no vehicles. Even in wars, horses were preferred to elephants due do their agility and swiftness. Though in modern times the Depend ability on horses for transport has reduced, horses are still in use for the sake of entertainment e.g. horse racing, polo.

Unseen Passage 10 for Class 6 CBSE

He was a funny-looking man with a high, bald, dome-shaped head, a face very small in comparison, a round upturned nose and a long wavy beard that didn’t seem to belong to such a perky face. His ugliness was a standing joke among his friends and he helped them to enjoy the joke. He was a poor man and something of an idler – a stone-cutter by trade, a sort of semi-skilled sculptor. But he didn’t work anymore than was necessary to keep his wife and three boys alive. He preferred to talk.

And since his wife was a complaining woman who used her tongue as an irate wagon driver uses a horse-whip, he loved above all things to be away from home. He would get up before dawn, eat a hasty breakfast of bread dipped in wine, slip on a tunic and throw a coarse mantle over it, and be off in search of a shop, or a temple, or a friends’ house, or the public baths, or perhaps just a familiar street corner, where he could get into an argument. The whole city he lived in was seething with argumentation. The city was Athens, and the man we are talking about was Socrates.

Questions
1. What was Socrates’ profession?
2. Where would Socrates go to get into an argument?
3. What evoked a sense of joy in the people?
4. (a) Fill in the blank with a modal auxiliary ‘indicating habitual past’: He……………….. get up before dawn.
(b) He was a funny-looking man. .
(Rewrite as an exclamatory sentence)
5. Have you met people who are argumentive or funny-looking? Where?
Answer:
1. Socrates was a stone cutter and a semi-skilled sculptor by profession. .
2. Socrates would go to a shop, temple, a friend’s house, a public bath or a street corner to get into an argument. .
3. Joking on Socrates’ ugliness evoked a sense of joy in the people.
4. (a) He used to get up before dawn.
(b) What a funny-looking man he was!
5. Yes, I have met argumentative people on train or bus

Unseen Passage 13 for Class 6 CBSE

The wishes were expressed in a variety of forms – in the red and glit lettering on the banner in the background of the Hotel Grande’s Orchid Room, in the loud chorus of the birthday guests as they crowded round to see the boy and on the cake itself. As the cameras popped, Angela and Boon walked up to kiss their son, their pride on each cheek. The boy looked down self-consciously, blushing, but there was no doubt he relished being the focus of attention in the large crowded room. “I must congratulate you, Mrs. Toh,” said Mark’s class teacher who, together with the Principal, the Vice principal and a number of his favourite teachers, had been invited for the occasion.

“Mark has been doing very well. I’m entering him for the National Speech contest, the biggest event for schools this year. Mark reads so well, he has so much confidence.” “Thank you, thank you. Mark would never have done so well without the help and guidance of his teachers,” said Angela. Three or four times, when a friend or relative remarked on the magnificence of the affair, Angela has occasion to say, with an apologetic laugh, “Really, Boon and I never intended anything like this.

Our place is too small for all the teachers and friends he wants to invite. When the new house is ready, we’ll have a much bigger garden and there’ll be a special barbeque pit. Right now, there’s just no space. But we’ve told Mark, “That’s all! No more birthdays like this! Daddy and Mummy can’t afford more of this!“ The children were hustled into another room for the magic show. Mark had indicated, in the course of planning the celebrations, that he did not want anything childish.

He had been to children’s parties where there were magic shows with half-baked magicians who did silly tricks, spoke broken English and resorted to all sorts of cheap antics to make the children laugh. The magician for his birthday was different. He was professional and almost as good as the magicians Mark had seen in some television shows.

Questions
1. Where was the birthday held?
2. How were the birthday wishes expressed?
3. Mark was slightly embarrassed by his parents’ attention. Which word tells you so?
4. According to the writer, what were the two qualities Mark had that made him suitable for the National Speech contest?
5. Why do you think Angela invited Mark’s teachers to the party?
Answer:
1. It was held in Hotel Grande’s Orchid Room.
2. They were expressed in the red and gilt lettering on the banner in the loud chorus of the birthday guests and on the cake itself.
3. It is “blushing”.
4. He read very well and had a lot of confidence.
5. They were Mark’s favorite teachers so Mark asked his mother, Angela, to invite them to his party.

Subject Verb Agreement Exercise For Class 7

1. Transitive verbs:
Examples:
Mr. Hales takes the class today morning.
By this sentences, Mr. Hales takes the class.
Here…
The word “Mr. Hales” is the noun.
The word “the class” is the object.
The word “takes” is the verb.
Only when all the three words are there, the whole sentences becomes complete and meaningful.
In case the object word is not there, the sentence “Mr. Hales takes” conveys no meaning and the sentences does not become complete. In that case “what does Mr. Hales take?” is not clear.
So only when the verb “takes” gets an object, the meaning behind the verb “takes” becomes complete.
That means the verb “takes” needs an object to make itself complete.
Such a verb which needs an object is called transitive verb.
That means the action of the verb is transmitted to another noun or another thing.

They brought the suitcase two days back.
Here the verb “brought” (bring) needs an object to become meaningful.
What was brought?
The suitcase was brought by them.
So the verb “bring” (brought) is a transitive verb.
My father has written a book which may interest you.
We are crossing the river by a boat.
The child is reading English poems clearly,
An uncivilized man killed John Kennedy.
She created this structure for our proposed–house.
My teacher gave me a pen before I entered the exam–hall.
They sell their properties.

In all the seven sentences give above, the respective verbs “write”, “cross”, “read”, “kill”, “create”, “gave” and “sell” need their respective objects to make the sentences meaningful.
So, all these verbs are transitive verbs.

• I daily wake up at 5 am.
  Here the verb “wake” does not need an object for completing itself.
  So the verb “wake” is an intransitive verb.
• The ball fell down.

• They are sitting on their cars.
  The verb “sitting” (sit) is an intransitive verb.
• The river is winding through the forest.
