Reading Comprehension (10 Marks)

Read the following passage and answer the questions that follow:

Trees are plants that live for a long time, sometimes for hundreds of years. They are everywhere—in parks, next to roads, and of course, near your home. There are trees that grow in forests and those that grow in the sandy soil of the desert.

Trees come in every shape and size. Look around your classroom. Trees provide wood for furniture—doors and tables, cupboards, and chairs. Look into your school bag. The paper and the pencils you use come from trees. All the fruits you love to eat—bananas, apples, mangoes, guavas—grow on trees. Even the chocolate you eat comes from trees! Not only that, trees help you to clean your teeth too!

Loving and caring for trees is both essential and rewarding. So, let us learn about a few common trees.

The Tamarind Tree

The tamarind tree is very large and shady. The special sour taste that you get in South Indian curries comes from the tamarind. The pod is brown, with sour pulp and seeds inside. The pulp is used in curries. The powder from the seeds is used in some medicines. The tamarind is found all over India, but it does not grow so well in the north. Birds, squirrels, and monkeys love to eat the tamarind.

The Neem Tree

You must have seen a neem tree near your house, or near the school, or beside the road. Almost everyone can recognise a neem tree. The neem is a magic medicine tree because almost every part of the tree is used for medicine. Sometimes, sick people are given neem juice to drink. People use the twigs of the neem tree like a toothbrush to clean their teeth. Burn some dry neem leaves inside the house—see the mosquitoes disappear! When you store winter clothing or blankets, keep dry neem leaves between them. This helps keep away insects. When you store rice, keep dry neem leaves at the bottom of the rice bin. This keeps pests away.
