I am coming, little maiden,

And each small and waving shoot,

Has for thee sweet flowers or fruit.

Most of us like to eat potatoes. But most people do not know what part of the potato is best for food. Take a sharp knife and cut from the middle of the potato a slice as thin as paper. Hold the slice between your eyes and the light. You will see that the potato has a skin, an outside rim, and an inside part. The outside rim which is immediately beneath the skin of the potato is the most valuable part of all. This is often thrown away with the skin. Even the skin itself is better for food than the inside. When eating a baked potato, if you scoop out the inside and leave the outside you are wasting the best part of it. If you cannot eat the whole potato, eat the outside rim and leave the inside.

(A)

Have you ever seen a forest fire? It is a terrifying thing to see the flames run along the ground licking up the leaves and dead branches. No wonder those whose homes are near gather quickly to fight the fire. If the fire cannot be stopped, these people will lose everything. Water can seldom be used to put out a forest fore for most of the time water is not available. Instead of using water the men fight fire with fire. With hoes, shovels, and rakes they make a broad, chean path through the forest some distance ahead of the fire. Then they set “backfires” along that side of this

clean path which lies toward the coming fire. These backfires burn slowly toward the main fire. When they meet both must die out for lack of fuel.

(B)

Unlike the aeroplane, helicopter can fly straight up and down. It can hover and alight on the ground as gently as bird settles in a tree. An aeroplane travels very fast even when it is coming down, so it needs a very large field to land in. A helicopter cannot carry as many passengers, but it can land in a very small space. It can even land safely on the flat roofs of buildings.

Part IV Read the poem given below as: (5.5)

Bed in Summer

In winter I get up at night

And dress by yellow candle-light.

In summer, quite the other way,

I have to go to bed by day.

I have to go to bed and see

The birds still hopping on the tree,

Or hear the grown-up people’s feet

Still going past me in the street.

And does it not seem hard to you,

When all the sky is clear and blue,

And I should like so much to play,

To have to go to bed by day?

Part V Read the paragraphs given below as: (2X10=20)

(A)

An airport is a very busy place. Besides the long runways needed by planes when coming in to land or when taking off, there are many important buildings on it. These are all near on another, and the most important one is the control tower, from which signals by wireless are made to arriving and departing planes. There are also hangars where planes are kept until they are needed and where they can be overhauled and repaired, waiting rooms for passengers, customs offices, restaurants, and very

often a hotel. If the airport is some distance from a town or a railway station, buses may be provided for the convenience of passengers.

(B)

Much of the paper we use is made from trees. Woodsmen go into the forest and cut down the trees. Other men cut the trees into logs which are taken to the paper mill. There large saws cut the logs into small pieces about sixteen inches long. These are then cut into very small pieces by many sharp knives. Now large vats which look like big flat barrels receive the small pieces. In these vats the pieces are made into what is called pulp. This pulp is laid on copper nets and run between heavy hot rollers that press it into paper. At last, after going between many rollers, much of the paper is wound into rolls and placed in a storehouse ready to be used.
