1.   Read the following poem and do the activities that follow:                                5

Where the Rainbow Ends!

Where the rainbow ends

There’s going to be a place, brother,

Where the world can sing all sorts of songs

And we’re going to sing together, brother,

You and I, though you’re white and I’m not.

It’s going to be a sad song, brother,

Because we don’t know the tune,

And it’s a difficult tune to learn.

But we can learn, brother, you and I.

There’s no such tune as a black tune.

There’s no such tune as a white tune.

There’s only music, brother,

And its music we’re going to sing

Where the rainbow ends.

-Richard Rime

I was growing handsome, with a fine black coat, one white foot and a white star on my forehead. My master would not let me work until I was four when he would sell me. When I was four, Squire Gordon came, carefully examined me and said I would do very well after I had been well broken in. My master loved me and said he would break me in himself. 'Breaking in' means to teach a horse to wear a saddle and bridle and to carry on his back the rider quietly, according to his wish. He must not bite or kick or jump for joy or lie down for weariness. My master got the bite into my mouth and the bridle fixed. It was a nasty thing. He then put a saddle on my back and made the girths fast under my body and rode me round the meadow. I felt proud to carry him. Then I was taken to the blacksmith for my shoes. He took my feet in his hands one after the other, cut away some of the hoof and nailed the iron shoe to it. In time I got used to it. Next I had to wear a collar, bridle and blinkers so that I could see only straight in front of me. But I hated the crupper right under my tail.

5. A Letter to the Editor:

Sanepa, Lalitpur

March 2, 2005

The Editor,

The Kathmandu Post,

Kathmandu,

Dear Sir,

Motor car accidents are on the increase in our city these days. Every day one gets to read in the papers people being run over by cars or hit by motorcycles. They are either being killed or seriously injured. This is most depressing.

It was only yesterday I saw an old lady, trying to cross the road, very narrowly escape being run over by a speeding car. It must have been running at a speed of 60 mph. Such reckless driving in the city is a hazard. It causes fatal accidents to pedestrians trying to cross the road.

Although there are speed limits, drivers do not seem to care and the traffic authorities are not strict in enforcing the regulation. What use is the rule if it is not enforced or followed?

I hope your newspaper will publish this letter and raise public awareness to the hazards of reckless driving. Everyone must work together to bring pressure on the traffic police and local authorities to check reckless driving and make roads safe for the people.

Yours faithfully,

Ramesh Kattel

6. Story:

An old lady and clever doctor

There was an old lady who became blind. She called in a doctor for treatment. He examined her and demanded large amount of money for curing her eye-sight. She agreed to pay that large fee to the doctor if her eye-sight became all right. But she said she would not pay anything if she was not cured. The doctor accepted the term of payment. He was called upon to treat her everyday. The doctor was lured looking at the valuable furniture in the lady's room. He began to take away the furniture thinking that the lady couldn't see. He delayed his treatment to take all the furniture. After some days, she was cured and the doctor demanded the money. She refused to pay saying her eye-sight had not been restored yet. She told like that because she didn't find her valuable furniture in her home and she knew all was taken by the doctor. The doctor brought the case into the court. He told all his plaint to the judge. Then the judge asked the lady why she would not pay. She replied that her eye-sight was not properly restored because she couldn't see her all valuable furniture. The judge understood everything and gave verdict in the favour of the old lady.

Moral: If you try to deceive others, you will be deceived.

Where the Mind is Without Fear

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high;

Where knowledge is free;

Where the word is not broken up into figments by narrow domestic walls:

Where words come out from the depth of truth;

Where tireles striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its wary into the dreary desert sand of dead       habit;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action............

Into that heaven of freedom, my Father.

Let my country awake.

-Rabindranath Tagore

Human milk contains enzymes, hermones, and immunoglobulin that simply can't be   duplicated in formula, although formula manufacturers keep trying. They advertise that their brand is " most like mother's milk" but even they agree that bresat milk is the best. Look on the can of formula- it says so right on the label. Since bresat milk is always raw and fresh, you don't loose any of the nutrients that are destroesd in formula processing.

Bresat milk is living tissue that changes to meet your baby's nutritional needs, and to protect him against disease, The fat content of human milk varies month to month, day to day, even hour to hour, For example, the milk produced for premature infant is higher is protein and calories than milk produced for a full term infant, giving the tiny baby what he needs to catch up on growth. In cold climate, human milk contains more fat and  in warm climate, more water. If your baby is very hungry, he nurses more vigorously and receives more fatty hind milk. If he is just thirsty, he feeds more leisurely and receives lower calorie milk. As he gets older, the fat content of the milk will gradually decrease because his growth will slow, and he will need fewer calories per pound of weight. Standards for formula are based an data about pooled human milk, so every  serving of formula is the same. Human milk constantly adjusts during the whole time your baby is nursing.

The Egyptians were an industrious, highly civilized and deeply religious people, who obediently accepted the supreme authority of their pharaohs. The people were content to serve and work for the state in return for a secure livelihood. They considered this earthly life to be segment in a great cycle, at the end of which everything would be returned to its original form. The richer and more important the person, the more careful and elaborate would be his or her burial, and the stronger and safer the tomb in which they would be buried.

The burial of the dead in the ground was not considered sufficiently safe for kings, queens and court officials, so sunken, sealed tombs were ingeniously constructed to protect personal treasures, food and instructions for the safe conduct of the soul after death. The design of these tombs developed into the stepped pyramid, and finally into the square pyramid that we know today.

There are about 80 ancient pyramids in Egypt. The Great Pyramid at Gizeh, which King Cheops built as his tomb 5000 years ago, holds most interest. It stands   with two other pyramids on a slight rise overlooking the River Nile. At the centre of the pyramid is the King's Chamber and leading down from there is a long narrow area known as the Grand Gallery. The pyramid covers 13 acres and contains 2,300,000 blocks of limestone, each weighing an average of 1.5 tons. Its pyramidal form has a perfectly square base with sides of 756 feet and a height of 481 feet. Situated directly below the King's Chamber is the Queen's Chamber and there are two air channels leading upwards from the centre of the pyramid to the outside.
