JAM AND JELLY

There is a difference between jam and jelly.Jam contains pieces

fo fruit while jelly is made strained fruit juice only. Any fruit can be
made into delicious jam or jelly. Jams are also made by boiling fruit
with sugar.The fruit is crushed and cooked but the fruit juice and
the pulp are kept together. Jelly is made by boiling the fruit until
tender and juicy. The hot,cooked fruit is put into a cloth bag. Jiuce
is strained off,mixed with sugar and boiled until it is ready to jell.
When it cools, the juice will stiffen into a thivk jelly. The substance
that makes the jelly “jell”,instead of remaining thin syrupy when
cooked, is called pectin. Pectin is found in most fruits. Some fruits,
such as apples, grapes, plums are high in natural pectin and jell
easily when cooked. Others, such as cherries, peaches and very
ripe fruit, do not have enough pectin to make them jell easily.It is
then necessary to add pectin, made from other fuits.

 GERMS
Men believed that evil spirits inside the body made people
sick. This is not so. Infectious diseases are caused by many
kinds of germs. Germs are very tiny simple plants and animals;
so small that they can be seen through a microscope. Germs
which cause diseases can live and grow very rapidly inside our
bodies. They multiply by splitting in halves. Soon there are
millions of germs. These million of germs may produce
poisonous chemicals that make us sick. Some bacteria germs
cause diseases such as scarlet fever whooping cough. Virus
and germ disease is caused by a certain kind of germ. The
germ that causes measles cannot cause chicken pox or any
other kind of disease. Wonder drugs have been discovered to
keep some kinds of germs from harming us. Our bodies
manufacture chemicals too, that can kill many kinds of germs.

 WHERE DUST COME FROM

Dust can be tiny specks of dirt and bits of rock worn off by rain
and wind. It can also be tiny pieces of plants such as pollen grains
and spores. It can be small pieces of salt from a faraway sea or
cinders and soot from chimneys. If you look at dust through a
microscope, you will see that is a mixture of many things. Dust is
usually picked up by the wind and finally settles because of gravity
or washed down by the rain. The tiny specks may be picked up
again and may end up thousands of miles from their starting place.
Dust, in the form of pollution, may cause a very serious health
problem. In a dustless world, there would be no clouds and rain.
Water vapor collects the tiny bits of dust to form water droplets.
These from the clouds from which rain and snow fall. Do you know
that dust helps make the sky look blue? When sunlight hits the
small bits of dust in the air, the blue light waves are scattered and
the sky looks blue.
1. Dust is a mixture of ______.
a. Gases b. many things c. dirty things
2. It is usually carried by ______
a. The wind b. people c. birds
3. If there is too much dust in a place, the air is likely to be______
a. Clean b. pure c. polluted
4. Dust may settle down because of __________
a. Air pressure b. gravity c. weightlessness
5. Dust may be washed away by __________
a. Rain b. tears c. rivers
6. In forming rain ________
a. Useful b. useless c. harmful
7. Dust in the air makes the sky look ________
a. Blue b. bright c. dark
8. Dust helps to form ___________
a. Clouds b. rainbow c. brighter
9. Sunlight hitting the small bits of dust becomes _____
a. Scattered b. dimmed c. brighter
10. The more dust there is in the air, the more _______
a. The sky will look blue
b. There will be clouds
c. Rain there will be.
