1. Read the passage given below and answer the question that follow: (Leson 10, The Price of Bananas)
I was on my way from Faizabad railway station to Lucknow. I had arrived at the station half an hour in advance of the time of the train’s departure.
I sat on a bench watching the monkeys frolicking on the trees and on the open platform. The monkeys descended now and then to collect half-sucked mango stones and remainders of food from the platform. The younger monkeys sat on the boughs of neem and tamarind trees, ready to jump after any food that may be visible.
Just then the train was announced by the ringing of the station bell. I concentrated on securing a seat for myself in the train. I got a window seat overlooking the platform. Some other passengers joined me in the compartment. We were all sweating from the rising heat of the summer.
Several passengers were busy filling up their small earthen pitchers from a water pump. I was struck by the genius of a monkey in snatching away the loin cloth of a pious person who was taking a bath under the pump.
A great deal of general amusement was caused by this incident. The bather then requested the monkey to return his loin cloth. The monkey was generous and threw it down from the neem tree at the man’s feet.

3. Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:
Isaac Newton, a name that may still be seen today cut into the wood of a windowsill at King’s School, Grantham, where he studied Grammar and Latin.
At first, Isaac Newton seemed to be rather a dull boy, and not very good at his lessons. But he used to use his hands, and used to make little machines such as windmills. He caught mice and compelled them to drive some of his little machines.
One day at school, Newton was kicked by a bigger boy who was higher up in the class than he was himself. The kicking made Newton very angry and he turned on the bigger boy and gave him a good beating. He also decided to beat him at lessons and this made him start to work harder.
After that, he improved at his studies and so perhaps the big boy who kicked Newton did a service to the world.
Newton went to Cambridge University where he studied Mathematics and Science.
He started to make discoveries in Mathematics while still at college. However, Newton did not confine his studies to Mathematics. He became very interested in the behaviour of light and he showed that sunlight, which appears to us as white light, can be split up into the colours of the rainbow.
One day Newton watched an apple as it fell from a tree to the ground. He began to wonder why it moved towards the earth, and not upwards the sky. After a great deal of thought on this subject he produced his theory of gravitation and published it in his great book ‘Principia’.
