Q. 1. Read the following passage and do the activities :

A1. Simple Factual Activity:

Complete the following sentences:

The incident in the story has taken place on …………….
Their television screen must have had ………………..
Margie’s great grandfather told that in old times all stories were ………………...
According to Margie, ‘a real book’ means ………………….

Answer:

The incident in the story has taken place on 17 May 2157.
Their television screen must have had a million books on it.
Margie’s great grandfather told that in old times all stories were printed on paper.
According to Margie, ‘a real book’ means a printed book.

Margie even wrote about it that night in her diary. On the page headed 17 May 2157, she wrote, “Today Tommy found a real book!”

It was a very old book. Margie’s grandfather once said that when he was a little boy his grandfather told him that there was a time when all stories were printed on paper.

They turned the pages, which were yellow and crinkly, and it was awfully funny to read words that stood still instead of moving the way they were supposed to – on a screen, you know. And then when they turned back to the page before, it had the same words on it that it had when they read it the first time.

“Gee,” said Tommy, “what a waste! When you’re through with the book, you just throw it away, I guess. Our television screen must have had a million books on it and it’s good for plenty more. I wouldn’t throw it away.”

A5. Personal Response:

About what did Tommy say, “What a waste!” Why do you think, did he say so?
Answer:

Tommy said it about the old, printed book. I think he said so because he thought that it is a waste of paper. After reading the book, its purpose is lost, and it becomes useless. He did not think of its importance and thought of throwing it away.

Q. 2. Read the following passage and do the activities:

A1. Simple Factual Activity:

Read the sentences and fill in the blanks with correct alternatives:

1. ………………….. was a round little man with a red face.

(a) The teacher (b) The County Inspector

Margie hated most was …………. where she had to put homework and test papers.

(a) the teacher (b) the slot

Large and black and ugly is the description of ……………….

(a) the teacher (b) the Inspector

4. Margie had hoped the Inspector wouldn’t know how to ………………….

(a) take the teacher apart (b) put the teacher together

Answer:

The County Inspector was a round little man with a red face.
Margie hated most was the slot where she had to put homework and test papers.
Large and black and ugly is the description of the teacher.
Margie had hoped the Inspector wouldn’t know how to put the teacher together.

He was a round little man with a red face and a whole box of tools with dials and wires. He smiled at Margie and gave her an apple, then took the teacher apart. Margie had hoped he wouldn’t know how to put it together again, but he knew how all right, and, after an hour or so, there it was again, large and black and ugly, with a big screen on which all the lessons were shown and the questions were asked. That wasn’t so bad. The part Margie hated most was the slot where she had to put homework and test papers. She always had to write them out in a punch code they made her learn when she was six years old, and the mechanical teacher calculated the marks in no time.

The Inspector had smiled after he was finished and patted Margie’s head. He said to her mother, “It’s not the little girl’s fault, Mrs Jones. I think the geography sector was geared a little too quick. Those things happen sometimes. I’ve slowed it up to an average ten-year level. Actually, the overall pattern of her progress is quite satisfactory.” And he patted Margie’s head again.

Margie was disappointed. She had been hoping they would take the teacher away altogether. They had once taken Tommy’s teacher away for nearly a month because the history sector had blanked out completely
