Seen Passage for Class Seven Final Term

Model Question_1

1. Read the following text and answer the question that follows:

One morning the Giant was lying awake in bed when he heard some lovely music. It was so sweet to his ears that he thought it must be the King's musicians passing by. But in fact, it was only a little bird singing outside his window. Then the north wind stopped and a delicious Perfume came to him through the open window. "I believe the spring has come at last,” said the Giant. He jumped out of bed and looked out. What did he see?

He saw the most wonderful sight. Through a little hole in the wall the children crept in and they were sitting in the branches of the trees. In every tree there was a little child. And the trees were so delighted to have the children back again that they covered themselves with blossoms. They were waving their arms gently above the children's heads. The birds were flying about and twittering delightfully. The flowers were looking up through the green grass and laughing.

But only in one corner of the garden it was still winter. There under a tree a little boy was standing alone crying. He was so small that he could not reach up to the branches of the tree. The poor tree was still covered with snow, and the north wind was blowing above it. [C7-U6-L10]

The Giant felt sorry as he looked out. "How selfish I have been!" he said to himself. "Now I know why the spring would not come here."

So, he quickly went out into the garden. But when the children saw him they were so frightened that they all ran away and the garden became winter again. Only the little boy did not run, for his eyes were so full of tears that he did not see the Giant coming. The giant quietly came behind him, took him gently in his hands and put him up into the tree. And the tree at once broke into blossom, and the birds came and sang on it. The little boy stretched out his two arms, flung them round the Giant’s neck and kissed him.

Model Question_4

Read the following text and answer the question that follows:

It is easy to understand now that the global warming and climate change are caused by humans on earth. If we make least use of energy, the earth the earth will be least polluted. The golden rule is, ‘Avoid machines as much as possible’. If your family has a car, use it less and walk to the shops. Walking and running are much more fun than sitting in a car. You may use bicycle too. You can save energy by changing your lifestyle. For example, you can often avoid the air-conditioning in summer and use hand fans instead.

You can also use solar energy. It is free and more environment friendly. You can use energy-saving bulbs in your room. If you make a garden, you can grow much of your own food. Do you know that if you eat fewer meat and dairy products, you can reduce greenhouse gas output? You can also save the environment by reducing, reusing and recycling the things you use. The most important idea is if you don't buy so many things in the first place, you don't need to reuse or recycle them.

You can also save energy by turning things off when you don't use them. People often leave lights, heating, air-conditioning, computers, TVs and gas burners on when they do not use them. Thus, they waste a lot of energy. Turning them off saves money too!

So, you can tackle climate change and live comfortably. There is plenty you can do. If we all work sensibly, we can save our lovely planet. [C7—U9—L6]
