Little Sasha and Misha the Bear 

"May I go and pick mushrooms, grandma?" asked Sasha. "Yes, but don't go too far into the forest. You may get lost." Looking for mushrooms, Sasha wandered deep into the forest, and could not find her way back. 

After a while, she saw a hut that belonged to the bear, Misha Ivanovich. Sasha told him that she was lost. “Very well then, stay here and help me,” said Misha. The bear made her work very hard. Sasha soon thought of a plan to escape. She baked some Russian cakes and asked Misha to take them to her grandparents. 

"Don't try eating any piroshky!" said Sasha. "I am going to climb a tall tree and watch you!" 

When the bear wasn't looking, Sasha hid under the piroshky in the basket. Misha picked up the basket and set off. Every time he stopped to rest and put a paw into the basket, Sasha would call out, “I can see you!” “What good eyes she has!” 

Soon he reached Sasha's grandparents' house. "Is anyone home?" he shouted. The dogs in the village barked at him. As he ran away, Misha dropped the basket. Sasha's grandparents saw her. They were very happy.

BERRIES FOR GOPALGopal paused to take in the smell and scene around him as he walked down the street. He often took this route after school, but did not remember seeing the creepers that covered the bushes near the road.He supposed they might have always been there, but the recent rains had probably made them bigger and healthier for they had grown larger and longer. Now, the creepers seemed to cover everything and bunches of dark berries could be seen among the deep green leaves. The berries looked delicious, small and red though some were larger and yellowish.Gopal watched the creepers spread and grow everyday on his way to and back from school andfinally one day he decided totastetheabundanttinyfruit.However,firsthe wanted to be sure they were edible and took some home to his grandmother who said they were a kind of gooseberry. Later that day, Gopal checked on the internet to correctly identify the plant. He found that there were whole pages dedicated to edible wild fruits and plants, as well as imposter plants that looked similar but were actually bad for you.

After much research, he decided the berries were safe to eat. He put one into his mouth and tasted the sharp, tangy flesh. Little black seeds were at the centre of the fruit. He carefully, savoured the tartness of the wild gooseberry.

Then he began waiting an hour to see if there was any sort of reaction, just in case he’d made a mistake. After a while, when he found that he had no stomach pains or any other reaction, he ate a few more and then got a bag and collected all the berries he could find.He rinsed them and ate afew more, but he crushed most of them to make juice. The juice did not need sugar and tasted sweet and natural. This is how Gopal became interested in plants and learned about them from school and on the internet.

22. What did Gopal see as he walked along the road?

A. Flowers B. Vegetables C. Money plants D. Wild vines

23. Why was Gopal careful about picking and eating the wild fruit?

TINA OF TECMACMost of the robots in the Tecmac exhibition inBangalorecantalk,climbstairsorpickupobjects but Tina, the little girl robot, doesn’t doanyofthesethings.Sheisdesignedtolooklovable. Tina is one of a new generation of robots and their designers don’t want them to seem threatening to human beings.Many technological problems need to be resolved before people start buying robots for their homes, and scientists also realise that there are deep psychological issues involved.‘The concept of Bio Imaging robotics is that robots can co-exist with humans’, says VC Ravi Chandran, the designer of Tina, the robot ‘friend’ and Rama, a singing, dancing machine and one of the most impressive robots at the show.

Another is Microman’s new robot called Moman and the company hopes it will one daybeabletodohouseholdtasks.Japan is already home to half of the world’s industrial robots and 90% of robot pets. ‘Idon’t thinkwe feeluncomfortablewithrobots and we also love technology’, said Kazuo Hirai of Honda.The robots that appeal most to humans at the moment, however, are those that don’t have a human form. Paro, a furry creature a bitlikeaseal,isusedinchildren’shospitalsall over the world because the pleasant sensation of holding him helps the children recovermorequickly.Not all robots are designed to be appealing however. For example, there’s the robot guard dog Mata 2. He has a camera and a mobile phone and can be guided by voice commands so that if you are away on a holiday, you can phone him and tell him what to do.

23. Why is Tina different from other robots? A. She can climb stairs. B. She doesn’t do anything. C. Shecantalk. D. Sheislikeable.

IndIan RhInocERosThe Indian rhinoceros lives primarily in northern India and Nepal. These massive beasts have some noticeable physical dif-ferences from their African relatives. Their segmented hide looks like a formidable coat of natural body armor. It functions a bit like one also: Flexible skin between the thicker hide "plates" allows them to shift as the rhinoceros moves.As their Latin name Rhinoceros unicornis suggests, Indian rhinos have only one horn.Like other rhinos, these animals have sharp hearing and a keen sense of smell. They may find one another by following the trail of scent each enormous animal leaves behind on the landscape. An Indian rhino can move very quickly when aroused. Their charges have been clocked at 30 miles (48 kilometers) an hour. They can weigh up to 2000 kg. Despite their bulk, they are nimble and can jump or change direction quickly.The Indian rhino is a grazer that travels established, tunnel-like paths through its tall grass habitat. It grasps tall grasses with its prehensile (gripping) lip. In addition to grass, rhinos eat fruit, leaves, and sometimes farm crops. They are often around water and sometimes consume aquatic plants. These herbivorous mammals and their average life span in the wild is about 40 years. These animals forage in the cooler temperatures of morning and afternoon to avoid exerting themselves in the unbearable mid-day heat. When the sun is high, they often wallow or submerge themselves in water.

They can grow to a length of about 12.5 feet (3.8 m) and height at shoulders, up to 6 feet (1.8 m).The prominent horn for which these rhinos are so well-known has also been their downfall. Many animals have been killed for this hard, hair-like growth, which is revered for medicinal use in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The horn is also valued in North Africa and the Middle East as an ornamental dagger handle. There are only about 2,000 Indian rhinos left in the wild. They are an endangered species.

20. How long can the rhinos live?

A. 12.5 years B. Many years C. Thirty years D. Forty years

21. Rhinos graze through _________.

A. tunnels B. tall grass C. water D. aquatic plants

22. They can find each other by _________.

A. trails B. hearing C. scent D. listening

SAVING THE TIGERIndia’s national animal, the tiger, remains under severe threat. More than a year after the disappearance of the tigers from Sariska became public, the lord of the jungle has vanished from 50% of its historical habitats in Bihar and Rajasthan. This report on the Tiger tragedy was provided by Wildlife Institute of India (WII). Even in the Shivalik, the tigers have vanished from 30% of their areas.This threat to the tiger arises both from poaching, as well as loss of habitat and prey species. The tiger is a species most endangered by illegal International trade. The World Wide Fund for Nature has released its list of the world’s ten most in-demand species which are bought, sold, smuggled, killed or captured for trade purposes. The list includes tiger, Asian rhino, elephant, sawfish, porbeagle shark, spiny dogfish and European eel. A surge in rhino poaching over the last few years is also taking its toll on their population, while rampant ivory sales in Asia and Africa pose a threat to elephants.The only positive story to emerge was that of the Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve in India, where tiger population has been found at a healthy 112 in just 500 square kilometres. While, the Jim Corbett remains safe, elsewhere, the situation looks dismal.
