Winter Sleep
If you live in northern Europe, you will share your garden with all sorts of birds, animals and insects. Some of the birds will fly away when the weather turns cold. The swallow will travel 8,000 kilometers or more to southern Africa. They will come back in the spring. Some of the birds and all the animals stay with you, but you will not see all the animals all through the winter. In the cold weather some of them hibernate, that is, they go into a state of deep sleep in winter.
In warm countries, where the winters are not very long or very cold, hibernation is not necessary. In very cold parts of the world, like the far north of Russia, not many animals hibernate. The ground is so hard that they cannot make a deep hole to spend the winter in. But animals in a large part of the northern hemisphere spend every winter fast asleep.
(1*8=8)
VI. Frame eight comprehension questions based on the following poem:-
ONCE UPON A TIME
Once upon a time, son,
They used to laugh with their hearts
And laugh with their eyes;
But now they only laugh with their teeth,
While their ice-block-cold eyes
Search behind my shadow.
There was a time indeed
They used to shake hands with their hearts;
But that’s gone son.
Now they shake hands without hearts
While their left hands search
My empty pockets.
But believe me, son.
I want to be what I used to be
When I was like you. I want
To unlearn all these muting things.
Most of all, I want to relearn
How to laugh, for my laugh in the mirror
Shows only my teeth like a snake’s barefangs!
So show me, son,
How to laugh: show me how
I used to laugh and smile
Once upon a time when I was like you.
(1*8=8 marks)
