ENGLISH HOLIDAY HOMEWORK
Note: Write all the English work on A4 size sheets and attach in your portfolio.
I. Read the following passage carefully:
These days, it is not unusual to see people listening to music or using their electronic gadgets
while crossing busy roads or travelling on public transports, regardless of the risks involved. I
have often wondered why they take such risks: is it because they want to exude a sense of
independence, or is it that they want to tell the world to stop bothering them? Or is it that they
just want to show how cool they are? Whether it is a workman or an executive, earphones
have become an inseparable part of our lives, sometimes even leading to tragicomic
situations.
The other day, an electrician had come to our house to fix something. We told him in detail
what needed to be done. But after he left, I found that the man had done almost nothing. It
later turned out that he could not hear our directions clearly because he had an earphone on.
Hundreds of such earphone’s addicts commute by the Delhi Metro every day. While one
should not begrudge anyone their moments of privacy or their love for music, the fact is
‘iPod oblivion’ can sometimes be very dangerous.
Recently, I was travelling with my wife on the Delhi Metro. Since the train was approaching
the last station, there weren’t too many passengers. In our compartment, other than us, there
were only two women sitting cm the other side of the aisle. And then suddenly, I spotted a
duffel bag. The bomb scare lasted for several minutes. Then suddenly, a youth emerged from
nowhere and picked up the bag. When we tried to stop him, he looked at us, surprised. Then
he took off his earpieces, lifted the bag, and told us that the bag belonged to him and that he
was going to get off at the next station.
We were stunned but recovered in time to ask him where he was all this while. His answer:
he was in the compartment, leaning against the door totally immersed in the music. He had no
clue about what was going on around him. When he got off, earplugs in his hand, we could
hear strains of the song.
(A) Read the above passage and answer the questions that follow:
(i) What reasons does the author offer for the people taking risks on the road ?
(ii) Why didn’t the electrician carry out the work properly ?
(iii) Why were the people in the Metro doubtful about the bag ?
(iv) Why were the passengers stunned ?
(v) Explain the term ‘earphone addicts’?
(B) Find words from the paragraph indicated which are similar in meaning to the
words given below:
(i) inspite of (para 1)
(ii) absorbed (para 4)
(iii) picked (para 3)
II. The following paragraphs have not been edited. There is one error in each marked
line. Write the error and its correction as shown in the example.

WORKSHEET 1
1. Organisms break down large food molecules to small molecules. How does this breakdown

B. It ensures that there are enough raw materials to produce and supply oxygen to the cells.
C. It converts the large molecules to small molecules that can pass through the cell
membrane.
D. It makes sure that the liberation of heat by the breakdown of large molecules does not
occur inside the cell.

- 180 litres per day whereas the amount of urine flowing out of all the nephrons is only 1.5 to
1.8 litres per day. Explain the values of glomerular filtrate and urine flowing is different.
WORKSHEET 2
1. Some adults have a defective heart since birth. They are born with a hole between the left
atrium and right atrium, this defect is called the Atrial Septal Defect (ASD). Due to the hole
between the atria, oxygenated blood gets mixed with deoxygenated blood. A symptom of this
disease is to feel tired easily. What will likely happen in people with ASD in a single cycle of
blood flow, explain?
2. A person can choke when a piece of food becomes lodged in the windpipe, blocking the
flow of air. A first aid procedure to remove the blockage is the Heimlich manoeuvre described
below: By performing this procedure, the piece of food is pushed out of the windpipe. Which
of the following causes this to happen?
A. the expansion of the chest B. the air pressed out of the lungs
C. the food pressed out of the stomach D. the upward movement of the wall of
the food pipe
3. The diagram below shows a leaf that was covered by piece of black paper for a period of 3
days. After 3 days the paper was removed. On testing, it was found that the area under the
black paper tested negative for starch and the rest tested positive for starch. Why?
4. William Harvey (1578–1657) was one of the early biologists who studied the bodies of
humans and animals. He even dissected the bodies and did experiments with the heart and
blood vessels. He concluded from his experiments that the blood leaves the heart through the
arteries and returns via the veins. However, he could not explain how blood left the arteries to
enter the veins. He said there must be some structure between arteries and veins but he could
not find them. Marcello Malphigi (1628–1694) later discovered these structures while
studying a dead frog's lungs under a microscope.
i. Which of the following structures did Malphigi find in the frog? What are the functions
performed by the structure?
ii. Which of the following statements about arteries and veins is TRUE?
A. Arteries have thicker walls than veins. B. Veins have thicker walls
than arteries.
C. All arteries carry only oxygenated blood. D. All veins carry only
deoxygenated blood.
iii. Which two chambers of the human heart have arteries connected to them? State the role of
these arteries.
5. Assertion (A): Capillaries have walls that are just one cell thick.
Reason (R): Exchange of material between the blood and surrounding cells takes place across
the capillaries.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true and R is not the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true but R is false
(d) A is False but R is true
WORKSHEET 3
1. Look at the diagram below carefully. Identify the process taking place at Z. Write any 2
functions performed by this process.
2. A person suffering from liver disease is advised to avoid fatty and highly acidic foods.
Give a reason why each of the foods mentioned should be avoided by a person suffering from
liver disease.
3. Oxygen, mostly, is carried by a pigment in our blood whereas carbon dioxide is transported
in dissolved form in our blood. Give TWO reasons that make the above statement correct.
4. Given below is a table representing the characteristics of two fluids involved in the
transportation of substances in the human body.
WORKSHEET 4
1. If you compare your rate of breathing by feeling your chest movement with the number of
times a fish opens and closes its mouth. Which will be higher and why?
2. Why is it necessary to separate oxygenated & deoxygenated blood in mammals & birds?
Veins and arteries carry blood. Which of these carry blood? a. Away from the heart? b. Back
to the heart?
3. In the process of Photosynthesis food A is prepared which gets converted into food B.
What are A and B? Why is A converted to B?
4. Due to the availability of less water, how does the plant cope with the lack of water in
desert conditions?
5. The two openings of the pharynx, one leading to trachea and the other leading to
oesophagus, lie very close to each other. Yet food we swallow normally does not enter into
our trachea. Why?
