Hay fever can occur all year round but it is traditionally worse in the spring months
when the pollen count in the air is high. Hay fever is a common name for allergic
rhinitis – meaning an allergy in the nose. The allergic reaction causes the nasal

2: Smear Vaseline on the inside of your nose to help stop the air-borne pollen touching
the lining of your nose.
3: Splash your eyes often with cold water as this tries to flush out any pollen.
4: Try and reduce contact with known allergens. For example –pet fur, flowers, dust

Pied-Piper of Hamelin

The town of Hamelin was suffering from a terrible plague of rats. The town council
tried everything to get rid of them, but couldn’t. At last, the Mayor promised a big
reward to anybody who could put an end to the plague.
A stranger dressed in bright clothes arrived and said he could rid Hamelin of the rats.
At night, the stranger began playing a tune on his flute, drawing all the rats out of the
houses and barns and into the river, where they drowned.
The Mayor would not pay the piper because he said that playing a flute was not worth
the reward. He ordered the piper to leave Hamelin.
But the piper came back one day, and started to play his flute. This time, all the
children followed him, and he left the village towards the mountains. Suddenly, a cave
opened in the mountain and the piper and all the children went in. The cave closed

 The culture of Asia is human civilization in Asia. It features different kinds of
cultural heritage of many nationalities, societies, and ethnic groups in the region,
traditionally called a continent from a Western-centric perspective, of Asia. The region
or “continent” is more commonly divided into more natural geographic and cultural sub
regions, including Central Asia, East Asia, North Asia, South Asia, Southeast Asia and
West Asia. Although Asia is not a distinct continent geographically, there has been little
unity or common history for many of the cultures and peoples of Asia. Asian art, music,
and cuisine, as well as literature, are important parts of Asian culture. Eastern
philosophy and religion also plays a major role, with Hinduism, Taoism, Confucianism,
Buddhism, Judaism and Islam all playing major roles. One of the most complex parts of
Asian culture is the relationship between traditional cultures and the Western world.
Other cultural differences throughout Asia are Asian people’s adaptations to the
climate zones of Asia, subtropical or tropical. The ethnic groups have adapted to
mountains, deserts, grasslands, and forests. On the coasts of Asia, the ethnic groups have
adopted various methods of harvest and transport. Some groups are primarily hunter-
gatherers, some practice transhumance (nomadic lifestyle), others have been
agrarian/rural for millennia and others are becoming industrial/urban. Some
groups/countries of Asia are completely urban (Singapore and Hong Kong). The
colonization of Asia was largely ended in the twentieth century, with national drives for
independence and self-determination across the continent.
Adapted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Asia
28. What is the text about?

Hot Air Balloons

by Mark Marchant

People first experienced flying by using a hot air balloon. The first-ever recorded hot air balloon flight
was in France in the summer of 1783. Two brothers, Joseph and Etienne Montgolfer, experimented with
paper models heated by hot air at their family’s paper factory. On the day of their launch, thousands of
people turned out to watch the Montgolfer balloon take off. The French King Louis XVI was among the
crowd. The balloon’smaiden flight was a great success. Hot air ballooning became an instant national
triumph for France. The French nation loved the Montgolfers, who were seen as a shining example of the
country’s new age of adventure and invention.
However, the Montgolfer brothers were not on board their balloon. The passengers in the hot air
balloon included a duck, a sheep and a chicken! A couple of months later, on 21 November 1783, two
brave men called Marquis Francois d’Arlandes and Pilatre de Rozier entered the history books as the
world’s first people to take safely to the air.
The Montgolfer’s design of a hot air balloon is similar to the designs still in use today. Hot air balloons
work on a very basic scientific theory. Warm air rises up through cooler air. Warm air in the balloon
makes the hot air balloon rise up through the cooler air surrounding it. To stay airborne, the balloon needs
to remain hotter than the surrounding air. As the air inside the balloon cools, the balloon drops slowly
towards the ground. A gas-powered burner underneath the balloon warms up the air inside the balloon
and makes it rise again.

Firefly or Lightning Bug
Photinus pyralis

The Pyralis firefly (also known as the lightning bug) is a common firefly in North America. This partly nocturnal,
luminescent beetle is the most common firefly in the USA.
At night, the very end (the last abdominal segment) of the firefly glows a bright yellow- green color. The firefly can
control this glowing effect. The brightness of a single firefly is 1/40 of a candle. Fireflies use their glow to attract
other fireflies. Males flash about every five seconds; females flash about every two seconds. This firefly is
harvested by the biochemical industry for the organic compounds luciferin (which is the chemical the firefly uses
for its bioluminescence).
This flying insect is about 0.75 inch (2 cm) long. It is mostly black, with two red spots on the head cover; the wing
covers and head covers are lined in yellow. Like all insects, it has a hard exoskeleton, six jointed legs, two
antennae, compound eyes, and a body divided into three parts (the head, thorax, and abdomen).
Both the adults and the larvae are carnivores. They eat other insects (including other fireflies), insect larvae, and
snails.

Once upon a time, on the banks of a river, Turtle played her flute. When Turtle played, all the animals
listened. Lions, elephants, butterflies, snake and monkeys danced to Turtle’s music. One day a man heard
Turtle’s music. “Ahh,” he thought, “that must be Turtle making music. Turtle would taste very good right
now.” So he called out, “Turtle! Show me your beautiful flute.” Turtle slowly walked to him and held out her
flute. But the moment the man saw Turtle, he grabbed her by the neck and began to run. Turtle tried to cry for
help, but she couldn’t make a sound. She closed her eyes, holding tightly to her flute for good luck.
When the man reached his hut, he put Turtle into a cage and shut it. Then he turned to his children.
“Don’t let Turtle out of her cage.” And off he went to the fields. The children began to play outside. Turtle sat
very still inside her cage, thinking about the man’s words. She began to play a sweet tune on her flute, and the
children ran to the cage. “Is that you playing, Turtle?” they asked, their eyes wide with wonder. “Yes,” Turtle
said. She kept on playing, for she could see the children were delighted. At last she stopped. “I can dance even
better than I can play,” she said. “Would you like to see?” “Oh, please!” the little boy cried. “I’ll show you how
to dance and play at the same time,” said Turtle, “but you must open the cage. There is no room in here.”
So the little child opened the cage and Turtle began to dance and play. The children laughed and
clapped their hands, for never had they seen such a wonderful thing. Then Turtle stopped. “Don’t stop!” the
children cried. “Oh,” Turtle groaned, “my legs are stiff. If I could just walk a little bit to loosen them ...”
“Don’t go too far,” the little girl cautioned. “Come right back.” “Never fear,” said Turtle. “You wait right
here.” Turtle crawled off toward the jungle. The moment she was out of sight, she raced all the way back to her
house. Nobody ever found Turtle again. But to this day, if you stretch your ear, you can listen to the sweet
sound of a flute in the forest.
