SECTION : A (Reading) -10 Marks

Q. Read the following passage and answer the questions given below.

What does the word 'summer' bring to our minds? Something juicy and yellow, something sweet

and delicious, something we all love to eat. The mango! The mango is called the King of Fruits. It is

the National Fruit of India. Thousands of years ago, mangoes grew only in Eastern India and

Burma. Now mangoes are grown in many hot countries. In India, the Mughals were the first to

grow the mango as a crop. They grew many kinds of tasty mangoes. Babur, the first Mughal

emperor, said it was the best fruit of India. Akbar planted an orchard of one lakh trees in Bihar.

Shah Jahan kept soldiers to guard his favourite mango tree in the Deccan! The emperors and nobles

of those days presented each other with the best mangoes in their groves. The Jesuit priests of Goa

also developed many new varieties of mangoes. They were the ones to grow the wonderful

Alphonso that we enjoy today. Do you know where mangoes grow? Do they grow on trees or on

bushes? Mangoes grow on trees. Mango trees are evergreen trees. A mango tree can grow up to 60

feet. Mango trees need hot, dry periods to give a good crop. In India you get the best varieties in

summer. Some varieties ripen just after summer, during the monsoons. The mango tree bears fruit

in four to six years after planting. The fruit can be golden yellow, green or deep red. The flesh of the

fruit is usually a deep orangish yellow. It is sweet and juicy with the most delicious flavour. The

fruit has a single large seed inside it. When spring comes, the mango tree bursts into flower. The

pale yellow blossoms cover the branches of the trees. They look so pretty! In early summer, tiny raw

mangoes appear. They are dark green and very sour. As it grows hotter, the mangoes begin to

ripen. When it gets really hot the mangoes ripen into golden yellow, juicy fruit. People eat more

mangoes than any other fresh fruit in the world! Pickles, jams, juices and candies are made from

mangoes. Mangoes are rich in vitamins and minerals. Aren't we lucky to be living in a hot country!

The mango has a beautiful shape. We see this shape on old paintings, sculptures, saris and other

cloth.

Subject: EVS Model Question Answer:

1. In chapter 1 you read that snakes do not have external ears. Can the snake hear the been or does it

dance when the been moves? What do you think?

Ans. Snakes cannot hear the been. They dance when the been moves.

2.Have you ever seen animals being used for entertainment of people? When and where did you see this?

Ans. Yes, In circus, parks, roadside and sometimes in our colony, I have seen many animals being used for

entertainment of people.

5. The government has made a law that no one can catch and keep snakes. What do you think about this law?

Give reasons for your answer and write in your own words.

Ans. I think this law is in the interest of animals. I have seen many animals being used for entertainment and as

means for earning livelihood, such as in circus, with snake charmers, etc. Of course they take care of these

animals because they earn their livelihood from them, but I think the animals would be happy only if they are

allowed to live freely in their natural habitat. Nobody wants slavery.
