There are four main kinds of taste: sweet, sour, salty, and bitter. All other tastes are just
mixtures of two or more of these main types.
The surface of the tongue has more than fifteen thousand taste-buds (or cells). These are
connected to the brain by special nerves which send the so-called 'tastes messages.
When the tongue comes into contact with food of any kind, the taste-buds will pick up the
taste. The nerves then send a message to the brain. This will make us aware of the taste. All
this happens in just a few seconds.
There are four kinds of taste-buds, each of which is sensitive to only a particular taste. These
four groups are located in different parts of the tongue.
The taste-buds for salty and sweet tastes are found round the tip of the tongue and along its
sides. Sour tastes can be picked up only at the sides of the tongue. The taste-buds of the bitter
taste are found at the innermost edge of the tongue. There are taste-buds at the centre of the
tongue.
The senses of smell and sight can affect taste. The good smell of food increases its taste.
Similarly, attractive colours can make food appear tastier and more delicious. If food does not
smell good or is dull-coloured, it will look tasty and may not taste good at all.
Very hot or cold sensations can make the taste-buds insensitive. Food that is too hot or too
cold, when placed in the mouth, will have no tastes at all.
Silkworms
a. Silkworms live for only two or three days after laying eggs. About 36,000 to 50,000
eggs are laid, and these are carefully stored at the silkworm farm until they are ready
to hatch. The eggs hatch into caterpillars, which feed on mulberry leaves. Soon, the
caterpillars are ready to spin their cocoons. Not all caterpillars can spin silk cocoons.
Only the caterpillars of a silkworm moth known as ‘Bombyx mari’ can do such
spinning. This caterpillar has special glands which secrete liquid silk through its lower
lip. The liquid produced later hardens to form tine strands.
The caterpillar makes its cocoons using these strands. The threads on the outside of
the cocoon are rough, while those inside are soft and smooth.
Some fully-spun cocoons are heated. This kills the pupa inside. The cocoons are then
put into hot water to loosen the fine threads. Finally, these threads are reeled off the
cocoons.
The length of unbroken thread produced by a single cocoon measures about one-and-
a-half kilometers. Being twisted together several of these threads make single woven
materials.
24. How are the threads on the outside of the cocoon ……..
a. Fine.
b. Soft.
c. Rough.
d. Strong.
e. Smooth.
Natural Disaster
A natural disaster is a terrible accident, e.g. a great flood, a big fire or an earthquake. It
usually causes great suffering and loss of a large sum of money. The casualties are injured or
died. Some people are homeless and need medical care.
Floods occur when the water of rivers, lakes, or streams overflow their banks and pour onto
the surrounding land. Floods are caused by many different things. Often heavy rainstorms
that last for a brief can cause a flood. But not all heavy storms are followed by flooding. If
the surrounding land is flat and can absorb the water, no flooding will occur. If, however, the
land is hard and rocky, heavy rain cannot be absorbed. Where the banks are low, a river may
overflow and flood adjacent lowland.
In many part of the world flood are caused by tropical storms called hurricanes or typhoons.
They bring destructive winds of high speed, torrents of rain, and flooding. When a flood
occurs, the destruction to surrounding land can be severe. Whole villages and towns are
sometimes swept away by water pouring swiftly over the land. Railroad track blocked and
uprooted from their beds. Highways are washed away.
When a building caught fire, the firemen pitched in to help battle the blaze. Before the pumps
were invented, people formed bucket brigades to fight fires. Standing side by side, they
formed a human chain from the fire to nearby well or river. They passed buckets of water
from to hand to be poured on the flames.
The damage of the fire did depend a great deal on where it happened. In the country or a
small village, only a single house might burn down. But in crowded cities, fire often
destroyed whole blocks and neighborhoods before being controlled.

Adoption
Adoption is the process by which people take a child who was not born to them and raise him
or her as a member of their family. By law, adopted children differ from foster children. An
adopted child has all the legal rights of a member of the family that raises him or her. A foster
child does not.
Parents place their children up for adoptions for many reasons. Some parents feel they cannot
adequately care for their off springs because of health or economic conditions. Some others,
especially unwed parent, may not want to raise a child.
But there are couples who cannot have children of their own. Adoption gives them
opportunity to raise a family. They can get one from an adoption agency if they have all the
requirements asked.
State laws prohibited adoption agencies from revealing the identity of the natural parents to
the adoptive parents. These laws also forbid agencies from disclosing the identity of the
adoptive parents to the natural parents. In some states, the law permits adopted persons who
are at least 18 years old to see their birth certificates including the natural parents’ names.
On the contrary, many adopted people worked to change the laws. They argued that people
have a right to know their identity. They said that keeping secret their adoptions records
violate their right.
On the other hand, many people feel adoption records should be kept secret. If not, natural
parents might change their minds years later and take the child away from the parents who
raised him or her.
Some experts advise that a child should know of the adoptions by the age of 6 or 7. Surveys
have shown that most adopted children develop normally.
