English FAL/P2 3 NW/November 2024 Grade 6 QUESTION 1: COMPREHENSION Read the passage below (Text 1) and answer questions 1.1 to 1.14 TEXT 1 THE CROW AND THE PEACOCK 1. A crow lived in the forest and was absolutely satisfied in life. But one day he saw a swan. “This swan is so white,” he thought, “and I am so black.” This swan must be the happiest bird in the world.” 2. He expressed his thoughts to the swan. “Actually,” the swan replied, “I was feeling that I was the happiest bird around until I saw a parrot, which has two colours. I now think the parrot is the happiest bird in creation.” The crow then approached the parrot. The parrot explained, “I lived a very happy life until I saw a peacock. I have only two colours, but the peacock has multiple colours.” 3. The crow then visited a peacock in the zoo and saw that hundreds of people had gathered to see him. After the people had left, the crow approached the peacock. “Dear peacock,” the crow said, “you are so beautiful. Every day thousands of people come to see you. When people see me, they immediately shoo me away. I think you are the happiest bird on the planet.” 4. The peacock replied, “I always thought that I was the most beautiful and happy bird on the planet. But because of my beauty, I am entrapped in this zoo. I have examined the zoo very carefully, and I have realised that the crow is the only bird not kept in a cage. So for past few days I have been thinking that if I were a crow, I could happily roam everywhere.” [Adapted from: 22 Best Moral Stories] GLOSSARY: Entrapped – catch in a trap Roam – move about 1.1 Match the words in column A with their meaning in column B.

Clocks also make it possible for people to agree on time. 2. Clocks measure shorter units of time than natural units. Natural units of time are the day, the month and the year. The sun rises at the beginning of each day. Sundials were used in ancient times. Sundials work by measuring shadows that are cast by the sun. 3. Candle clocks were used a long time ago. Candle clocks work by measuring the time it takes for the wax to melt. Hourglasses are similar to candle clocks, because they also measure the time it takes for something to happen. Hourglasses work by measuring the time it takes for sand to pour through a small opening into a glass. 4. Now people use digital clocks. Digital clocks show numbers on a screen. The numbers represent the time. 5. In today's world, clocks are everywhere – in homes, schools, offices and public places. Many people live their lives according to the time. People go to work and return home, school days start and end, and airplanes take off and land according to the time. [Author unknown] Copyright reserved Please turn over
