APRIL 5 COMPREHENSION PASSAGE

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

1. Fifty years ago people ate ice cream only in the summer. Now it is eaten all the year-round. It originated
in the Orient, centuries before English schoolboys first tasted it. Marco Polo saw people eating it there and
brought back the idea to Italy. From Italy, the idea was carried to France. It became very popular with the
rich, in France, and an effort was even made to keep the recipes a secret from the common people. But, of
course, they soon learned about this delicious new food and ice cream became popular with everyone.
Soon, it spread all over the world.

2. The first factory to manufacture ice cream was started in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1851. However, the
real development of ice cream and the ice cream business didn’t take place until after 1900 with new
developments in refrigeration. 3. The basis of all ice cream is cream, milk or milk solids, sugar and
sometimes eggs.

Vanilla, chocolate, berries, fruit ingredients and nuts are added as flavours. This is the usual proportion of
ingredients in ice cream: about eighty to eighty – five per cent cream and milk products, fifteen per cent
sugar, half to four – and – a – half per cent flavouring and three – tenths of one per cent stabilizer. A small
amount of gelatin is used in order to retain the smoothness of the ice cream by preventing the formation of
ice crystals. When you eat a third of a pint of vanilla ice cream, you are getting about as much calcium,
protein and vitamin B as are in half a cup of whole milk, and as much vitamin A and calories as are in one
cup of milk.

E.1. Answer the following questions very briefly.

1. Where was ice cream first made in?

………………………………………………………………………………………………………
2. In which country did it become very popular?

………………………………………………………………………………………………………3. Why
did the manufacture of ice cream increase after 1900?

4. What is ice cream made from?

1. What is fraction? A fraction is a numerical quantity that is not a whole number.

2. Fraction whose numerator is less than the denominator is called proper fraction.
For example,
8/9, 7/8, 6/7, 5/6
are all proper fractions.
3. A fraction whose numerator is greater than the denominator is called improper fraction.
For example,
3/2, 4/3, 5/4, 6/5
are all improper fractions.
4. A fraction represented with its quotient and remainder is a mixed fraction. For example, 2
1/3 is a mixed fraction, where 2 is the quotient, 1 is the remainder. So, a mixed fraction is
a combination of a whole number and a proper fraction.

Addition of unlike fractions:

Add 7/10 + 2/15

LCM of 10 and 15 is (5 × 2 × 3) = 30.

So, we convert the given fractions into equivalent fractions with denominator 30.

7/10 = (7× 3)/(10 × 3) = 21/30 , and 2/15 = (2 × 2)/(15 × 2) = 4/30

Therefore, 7/10 + 2/15

= 21/30 + 4/30

= (21 + 4)/30

= 25/30

= 5/6

Subtract 15/16 – 11/12

Least common multiple (LCM) of 16 and 12 = (4 × 4 × 3) = 48.

= (15 × 3)/(16 × 3) – (11 × 4)/(12 × 4)

[Converting each fraction to an equivalent fraction with denominator 48]
= 45/48 – 44/48
= (45 – 44)/48
= 1/48

1. Add 5/6 and 3/4

Find the value x:

Find the number if 18 is taken away from the 6 times of a number is 30.
Solution:
Let ‘a ‘ be the number.
Given: 18 is taken away from the 6 times of a number is 30.
6a – 18 = 30
Adding 18 on both sides,
6a = 30 + 18
6a = 48
Dividing by 6 on both sides,
6a/6 = 48 / 6
a=8
Therefore, the number is 8.

 DAY 1 ADAPTATION IN PLANTS
INTRODUCTION

A place where a plant lives is called its habitat.

 All plants have to adjust themselves to their surroundings to live and reproduce.This process of adjustment in a particul
environment is called adaptation.
 Plants are classified into TERRESTRIAL PLANTS(that grow on land) & AQUATIC PLANTS(that grow in water).
 Plants are used as food,as cloth material,as furniture,medicinal plants.Plants provide rubber,oil,gums,resins etc.
 Aquatic plants are of three types-Floating plants,Fixed plants and Submerged plants.
 Some trees have leaves all through the year,such trees are called evergreen trees.
 Te fungus which grows on bread is also a plant.It is commonly known as bread mould.It Is not a photosynthetic plant.
The algae which covers the unclean surface is also a plant.It is green in colour and can perform photosynthesis.

RIVERS

A river is a natural watercourse,[7] usually freshwater, flowing toward

an ocean, a lake, a sea or another river. A few rivers simply flow into the ground
and dry up completely without reaching another body of water.
 Rivers are a part of the hydrological cycle. Water within a river is generally
collected from precipitation through surface runoff, groundwater recharge, springs,
and the release of water stored in glaciers and snowpacks.

Small rivers may also be called by several other names, including stream,
creek and brook. Their current is confined within a bed and stream banks. Streams
play an important corridor role in connecting fragmented habitats and thus in
conserving biodiversity.
