Annual Exam Revision Sheet (2018-19)

Std. :IV English
Revision worksheet is as per the annual paper pattern.

SECTION A :READING

A1. Read the passage and answer the questions that follow.

The most beautiful humming birds are found in the West Indies and South America. The crest of the tiny head
of one of these shines like a sparkling crown of coloured light. The shades of colour that adorn its breast are
equally brilliant. As the bird flits from one object to another, it looks more like a bright flash of sunlight than it
does like a living being.

They are called humming birds. It is because they make a soft, humming noise by the rapid motion of their
wings—a motion so rapid, that as they fly, you can hardly see that they have wings.

One day when walking in the woods, I found the nest of one of the smallest humming birds. It was about half
the size of a very small hen's egg, and it was attached to a twig no thicker than a steel knitting needle. It seemed
to have been made of cotton fibers and was covered with the softest bits of leaf and bark. It had two eggs in it,
and each was about as large as a small sugarplum.

When you approach the spot where one of these birds has built its nest, it is necessary to be careful. The mother
bird will dart at you and try to peck your eyes. Its sharp beak may hurt your eyes most severely, and even
destroy your sight. The poor little thing knows no other way of defending its young, and instinct teaches it that
you might carry off its nest if you find it.

Now dogs pretend they like to fight;

They often bark, more seldom bite;
But yet a Dog is, on the whole,
What you would call a simple soul.

Of course I'm not including Pekes,

And such fantastic canine freaks.
The usual Dog about the Town

1
Is much inclined to play the clown

And far from showing too much pride

Is frequently undignified.
He's very easily taken in-
Just chuck him underneath the chin
Or slap his back or shake his paw,
And he will gambol and guffaw.
He's such an easy-going lout,
He'll answer any hail or shout.
