1. Read the following passage carefully.
Sheila loved to hear her older sister, Emma, play the piano. Listening to the notes and watching Emma’s fingers press the keys made Sheila want to play the piano too. Sheila was sure she could learn to play even though she was a few years younger, so asked her mother, “Mom, can I start taking piano lessons?” “Sheila, as long as you understand that you have to practise every day, you can take piano lessons,” her mom said. Sheila was so excited. She could not wait to play ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’, one of her favourite songs. In no time, she thought, she would play as well as Emma! Sheila was excited and nervous for her first piano lesson. When she got there, she was surprised; her teacher had flashcards and a book for her. Emma just had music notes in her piano books. Sheila did not know there were so many other things to know about the piano first. She had to learn each of the notes, or the sounds, that the piano makes. Then, she had to learn which key on the piano made each note. Her teacher showed her everything she had to practice and learn before the next lesson. During that first lesson, Sheila never even got to touch a key on the piano. “Don’t people get to play the piano at piano lessons?” she wondered. The next day, when Sheila got home from school, she ate her snacks fast and started to run outside. “Where are you going?” her mom asked. “Outside to play ball,” Sheila said. “Bye mom!” “Not so fast, you must study your piano flashcards,” her mom said. “Then, you can play.”

2. Read the following passage carefully.
The River Ganga, also known as the River Ganges has a significant influence on the life of the Indians. It is one of the longest rivers of the world and is the longest river in India. It has the largest river-basin in India. The river rises in the western Himalayas, in Uttarakhand, and flows south and east through the Gangetic Plain of North India into Bangladesh, where it empties into the Bay of Bengal. It has a number of tributaries like Gomti, Ghaghara, Gandaki, Kosi, Yamuna, Son, and Damodar. The Ganga is a perennial river which means that its water is available throughout the year. The water supply of the Ganga system depends partly on the rains brought by the monsoon from July to October. Melting Himalayan snow in the hot season, from April to June, also contribute to the water supply. The river has formed one of the most fertile flood plains in the world. The water from the river is widely used for agricultural purposes. We get golden crops from the fertile lands on its banks. Irrigation has increased the production of food and cash crops such as wheat, sugarcane, cotton and oilseeds. The Ganga has been made into a national waterway. It is navigable up to Haridwar. Our Government has started projects for the wider usage of the its water. This would bring enormous prosperity and economic development in our country. Many people go on pilgrimages to holy sites along the Ganga, especially at the point where it merges with other rivers. The Ganga was ranked as the fifth most polluted river of the world in 2007. Pollution threatens not only humans, but also more than 140 fish species, 90 amphibian species and the endangered Ganges river dolphin.

2.1 Choose the correct option:
(a) The River Ganga has ________________ influence on the life of the Indians. (i) an excellent (ii) a powerful (iii) a significant (iv) the best

Once, a villager owned a donkey and a goat. He used the donkey to carry loads of articles from the village to the city where he would roam around the whole day selling his articles. Sometime he could lend his donkey to others on hire when they needed it. As the donkey worked hard the whole day, the villager used to feed the donkey more food than he gave to the goat. The goat felt jealous of the donkey. He advised the donkey, "You work all day long and hardly get any rest. You must act that you are ill and fall down unconscious. This way, you'll get rest for a few days." The donkey agreed to this and acted as if he was ill. The villager called the doctor. The doctor said, ''Your donkey has a strange illness. To cure him, you must feed him the soup made of a goat's lungs." The villager at once killed the goat and cooked soup of its lungs. Then he fed the soup to the donkey. The goat had tried to harm the donkey out of jealousy but he had been killed for his evil nature.

Section A (Reading Comprehension)
1. Read the following passage carefully.
Sheila loved to hear her older sister, Emma, play the piano. Listening to the notes and watching Emma’s fingers press the keys made Sheila want to play the piano too. Sheila was sure she could learn to play even though she was a few years younger, so asked her mother, “Mom, can I start taking piano lessons?” “Sheila, as long as you understand that you have to practise every day, you can take piano lessons,” her mom said. Sheila was so excited. She could not wait to play ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star’, one of her favourite songs. In no time, she thought, she would play as well as Emma! Sheila was excited and nervous for her first piano lesson. When she got there, she was surprised; her teacher had flashcards and a book for her. Emma just had music notes in her piano books. Sheila did not know there were so many other things to know about the piano first. She had to learn each of the notes, or the sounds, that the piano makes. Then, she had to learn which key on the piano made each note. Her teacher showed her everything she had to practice and learn before the next lesson. During that first lesson, Sheila never even got to touch a key on the piano. “Don’t people get to play the piano at piano lessons?” she wondered. The next day, when Sheila got home from school, she ate her snacks fast and started to run outside. “Where are you going?” her mom asked. “Outside to play ball,” Sheila said. “Bye mom!” “Not so fast, you must study your piano flashcards,” her mom said. “Then, you can play.”

2. Read the following passage carefully.
The River Ganga, also known as the River Ganges has a significant influence on the life of the Indians. It is one of the longest rivers of the world and is the longest river in India. It has the largest river-basin in India. The river rises in the western Himalayas, in Uttarakhand, and flows south and east through the Gangetic Plain of North India into Bangladesh, where it empties into the Bay of Bengal. It has a number of tributaries like Gomti, Ghaghara, Gandaki, Kosi, Yamuna, Son, and Damodar. The Ganga is a perennial river which means that its water is available throughout the year. The water supply of the Ganga system depends partly on the rains brought by the monsoon from July to October. Melting Himalayan snow in the hot season, from April to June, also contribute to the water supply. The river has formed one of the most fertile flood plains in the world. The water from the river is widely used for agricultural purposes. We get golden crops from the fertile lands on its banks. Irrigation has increased the production of food and cash crops such as wheat, sugarcane, cotton and oilseeds. The Ganga has been made into a national waterway. It is navigable up to Haridwar. Our Government has started projects for the wider usage of the its water. This would bring enormous prosperity and economic development in our country. Many people go on pilgrimages to holy sites along the Ganga, especially at the point where it merges with other rivers. The Ganga was ranked as the fifth most polluted river of the world in 2007. Pollution threatens not only humans, but also more than 140 fish species, 90 amphibian species and the endangered Ganges river dolphin.

Once, a villager owned a donkey and a goat. He used the donkey to carry loads of articles from the village to the city where he would roam around the whole day selling his articles. Sometime he could lend his donkey to others on hire when they needed it. As the donkey worked hard the whole day, the villager used to feed the donkey more food than he gave to the goat. The goat felt jealous of the donkey. He advised the donkey, "You work all day long and hardly get any rest. You must act that you are ill and fall down unconscious. This way, you'll get rest for a few days." The donkey agreed to this and acted as if he was ill. The villager called the doctor. The doctor said, ''Your donkey has a strange illness. To cure him, you must feed him the soup made of a goat's lungs." The villager at once killed the goat and cooked soup of its lungs. Then he fed the soup to the donkey. The goat had tried to harm the donkey out of jealousy but he had been killed for his evil nature.
