Passage 2 Read the passage and answer the questions given below. India was celebrating Republic Day on the 26th of January. It was a national holiday. Mr Gupta was very annoyed and in a bad mood. He had had to close his factory and give the workers time off from work. A lot of work was incomplete and left undone. His profits would suffer. Mr Gupta was driving his luxury car with the air conditioner on full blast. At the traffic light, he slowed down and then stopped as the light turned red. His mood became worse. Just then, he happened to look out of the window and see a boy selling Indian flags. The boy was dressed in torn clothes, but his smile was infectious and lit up his face. On a whim, Mr Gupta rolled the window down and called out to him, 'I want two flags'. The boy immediately ran over to him and handed him the flags, saying 'Please give me change.' Mr Gupta took out ` 20 and held it out. 'No, change please', repeated the boy. Mr Gupta was surprised. 'I am giving change', he said. 'The flags are for ` 1 each, please give me ` 2 only', said the boy. Mr Gupta was amazed. 'How can you sell them for so less?' he asked. 'Today is Republic Day. Today, we are not doing business. We do that every other day. We are doing our bit for our country. The flags actually cost one rupee, so we are selling at that rate', the boy answered. Mr Gupta was taken aback. The poor, uneducated, street boy valued his country more than him. He felt terribly ashamed. – Manjula Shukla 1) Why did Mr Gupta have to give his workers time off from work?

Reading the Text Nowadays, we live a life full of comfort. Technology and information are easily available whenever we need them. However, a lot of things that we take for granted were carefully thought out, discovered and invented by thinkers, scientists and discoverers of previous generations. One such person was Isaac Newton. It was the year 1665 when a young mathematician and physicist named physicist Isaac Newton was sitting in his living room, drinking a cup of tea. It was a beautiful day, warm and sunny. Isaac was relaxing in his chair and thinking about the forces of nature. As he sipped his tea, he saw an apple fall to the ground. This sight started a chain of thought in his mind. ‘What caused the apple to fall?’ He knew that nothing could move from its place without some force applied to it. ‘What was this force?’ he wondered. Isaac was an intelligent man with a questioning mind. He thought very deeply about the matter and figured that there was a force deep within the Earth that made the objects stay on it. Isaac thus discovered the force of gravity. This was a very important discovery in the field of science. Let us now read about another scientist who is gravity remembered the world over. His name is Alfred Nobel. He was born in Sweden and grew up excelling in studies. He showed a deep interest in developing explosives dynamite and later invented dynamite. Again, this was a very important invention. It was extensively used in the mining and building of roads. Unfortunately, it was also misused and caused destruction and death. However, an incident changed Alfred’s life forever. His brother died, and newspapers wrongly printed the news as Alfred’s death, with the headlines saying that devastated the ‘Merchant of Death’ had passed away. He was fortune devastated at the thought that his invention was being used to kill people. He decided to put his entire fortune into a trust that was used to fund international prizes for peace. These became the famous ‘Nobel’ prizes. Have you ever thought of how our lives would be without electricity? Let’s read about the great mind behind the invention of the electric bulb. Thomas Alva Edison was possibly America’s greatest inventor. He invented nearly a thousand things and, most importantly, the light bulb. Scientists and Inventors Who Changed the World 101 181010043-Alpine-G5-Textbook-English-FY.pdf 105 03-Feb-18 2:26:23 PM

When Edison displayed his electrical bulb for the first time, one of the guests remarked that the idea was good, but he doubted whether anyone would want to light up their homes with such bulbs. How wrong he was! There is an interesting story surrounding Edison. Many people used to visit Edison’s office every day to meet him and take his advice. One day, a gentleman remarked that his office door was very heavy and difficult to push open. He advised Edison to replace the door with a lighter one. Edison answered that he had fixed a small pump to the door. It pumped a gallon of water into the overhead tank every time the door was pushed open. This was an extremely creative way of generating free power, wasn’t it? Another great inventor, Alexander Graham Bell, invented the telephone. Can you imagine what it would be like if there were no phones or mobile phones? The first words were spoken on the phone in the year 1876 by Alexander to his assistant Thomas Watson: ‘Mr Watson, come here, I want to see you’. Sadly, Alexander’s wife was deaf and was never able to use the telephone. indebted These early scientists and inventors made very valuable discoveries and inventions. We are truly indebted to them. Let Us Discuss 1) What did Isaac Newton notice as he sipped his tea? 2) What did Alfred Nobel invent? 3) Who invented the light bulb? 4) What did Alexander Graham Bell invent?

Lesson Eureka! Eureka! 17 Let Us Start Listen and say aloud eureka Greek Words philosopher scientist disperse displace Syracuse weight aluminium volume Warm Up Activity • Imagine that you are a scientist and you suddenly discover something. What would your first words be? • Have you heard the phrase ‘Eureka! Eureka!’? Do you know what it means and who said it? Let us read a story about the person who said ‘Eureka! Eureka!’ when he discovered something important. 181010043-Alpine-G5-Textbook-English-FY.pdf 109 105 03-Feb-18 2:26:23 PM

Reading the Text Archimedes was a Greek scientist in the king’s court. He lived in Syracuse nearly 2000 years ago. The king of the land wanted to wear a golden crown. He gave some gold to a goldsmith to make a suitable crown. After a few days, the goldsmith brought the finished crown to the king. The crown was weighed. The weight Archimedes of the crown was equal to the gold given to the scientist goldsmith by the king. The king looked at the colour of the crown. He had a suspicion. The goldsmith could have stolen some from the gold handed over to him. The king wanted to find out the truth. The king said to Archimedes, ‘Find out how much gold has been stolen.’ But how was Archimedes to do that? Archimedes thought about the problem day and night! One day, Archimedes suspicion was about to take his bath. He was busy thinking about the problem and did not notice that the bathtub was already full to the brim. As he slid into the bathtub, a large quantity of water flowed over the brim of the bathtub. He noticed this and suddenly realised that he had the answer to his problem. He jumped out of the bathtub, brim shouting ‘Eureka! Eureka!’ ‘Eureka’ in Greek means ‘I have found it’. Do you know that different metals of the same weight have different volumes? Objects, when put in water, displace water. The volume of the water displaced by the object is equal to the volume of the object. For example, an iron cube weighing a kilogram will displace some water. However, an aluminium cube of the same weight will displace more water than the iron cube. Archimedes knew all these theories. Using this knowledge, Archimedes worked out a plan to find out the purity of the gold in the crown. Archimedes took two bowls. He filled both the bowls with water to the brim. Then, he placed each bowl separately in the middle of a large vessel. He placed the crown in a bowl. Water overflowed and collected at the bottom of the outer vessel. Then, he took a cube of pure gold. This cube was equal in weight to the crown. He kept this gold cube in the middle of the second bowl. Again, water overflowed and got collected at the bottom of the outer bowl. Archimedes then measured the quantities of water in these two outer vessels. He found out the difference between the two quantities. The crown had displaced more water, while the 106 03-Feb-18 2:26:23 PM 181010043-Alpine-G5-Textbook-English-FY.pdf 110

gold cube displaced less. However, since both the crown and the gold cube were of the same weight, they should have displaced the same amount of water. Therefore, it became clear that the crown had other metals mixed in it. These metals took up more space in water than pure gold. Archimedes reported these findings to the king. The king demanded the truth from the goldsmith, who then confessed. He had stolen some gold. He had in fact added other metals as a replacement. T hus, due to Archimedes’ clever principle, the king could discover the truth. This principle became famous as the ‘Archimedes principle’ and is studied even today! confessed Let Us Discuss 1) What did the king ask the goldsmith to make? 2) What suspicion did the king have? 3) What words did Archimedes shout when he found the solution to the king’s problem? 4) When Archimedes conducted his experiment with the gold crown and the solid gold cube, what were the results?

R6 Reading Comprehension Passage 1 Read the passage and answer the questions given below. In the evening, the priest kept a light behind the curtain and stood there with his puppet. When he moved the puppet behind the curtain, it cast a dancing shadow on it that was clearly visible to the emperor on the other side. As the emperor sat in front of the curtain and watched the dancing shadow, he listened to the stories narrated by the priest. The stories were about the queen. They were simply wonderful and brought back many of the emperor’s wonderful memories. The emperor clapped his hands with joy and said, ‘I would like to watch the puppet show every evening. I am delighted.’ Every day, the emperor attended court, talked to his ministers and courtiers and then watched the puppet show in the evening. He started taking great interest in his people. He built schools and hospitals in the name of the departed queen. He felt very happy when crowds of people gathered around him and praised him wherever he went. They would cheerfully shout, ‘Hail the Emperor! Hail the mighty one!’ The priest spoke to him one day, ‘Your Majesty, joys and sorrows are part of life. Whenever a person faces sorrow, they should always think of the good things and happy moments in life. They act as a source of joy that drives away all the sadness and cheers one up. They teach us to live happily and do good deeds to make others happy while remembering those who are no longer with us.’ The emperor smiled and nodded. ‘I thank you for guiding me and for such wise words’, he said. 1) What stories did the priest narrate in the puppet show?
