Study this diagram which shows the parts of a hot air bollon. Complete the description of its parts given below .
The largest and most colourful part
of the balloon is called the 1 Envelope. The topmost part of
the balloon has a large hole which is used to deflate the balloon on landing.
This is called the 2 Parachute valve. The valve seals the
hole. The lowest end of the envelope is the 3 Skirt made of
flame-resistant material. It helps keep the flame directed straight up into the
envelope.
To pull the parachute down out of the
hole via pulleys, the pilot uses the 4 parachute valve cord
that helps the pilot deflate the balloon. 5 Gores are panels
of fabric sewn together to form the shape of the balloon.
During the fight, the passengers and
the pilot stand in the 6 Wicker Basket made from woven willow
branches for lightness, strength and flexibility. The 7 Burners,
usually made of stainless steel, are connected to the basket with steel cords.
It is fuelled by 8 Propane Tanks as propane as gas is an
efficient fuel and creates a stronger flame.

10. The Stars and Stripes
Thirteen American colonies went to
war on 4 July, 1776. They wanted the right to run their own country. They knew
they needed a flag of their own, but they did not have time to think about one.
A year later, the war had not ended.
Yet, people began to design a new flag anyway. Part of it would be blue with
thirteen white stars. The rest of the flag would be even more striking. It
would have thirteen red and white stripes. Each star and each stripe
represented a colony.
Finally, the war ended. A new country
was beginning to take shape and grow. The first official national flag, also
known as the Stars and Stripes, was approved by the Congress in 1777. After
Vermont and Kentucky were admitted to the Union in the 1790s, two more stars
and two more stripes were added in 1795. The fifteen-star, fifteen-stripe flag
was the “stars-spangled banner” that inspired lawyer Francis Scott Key to write
the poem that later became the US national anthem.
More states were formed. So, more
stars and stripes were included into the flag that could hardly find room for
these additions. In 1818, Congress passed a new law. It was decided that the
flag would have only thirteen stripes but the number of stars could be
increased according to the number of states.
The flag of the United States has
changed several times since 1777. The last new star, bringing the total to
fifty, was added after Hawai became a state. But the colours remain the same
now as they were then-red, white and blue.

9. The Harry Potter Story
The Harry Potter books are a series
of seven fantasy novels by British writer J.K. Rowing. The books depict a world
of witches and wizards with the central character being the young wizard, Harry
Potter. Most of the action takes place in the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizard and focuses on Harry Potter’s struggle against the evil wizard, Lord
Voldemort. The books deal with the themes of friendship, ambition, choice,
courage, growing up, love and death.
In 1990, J.K. Rowing was on a crowed
train from Manchester to London when the idea for Harry simply walked into her
head. But she took almost six years to finish her first novel - Harry Potter
and the Philosopher’s Stone- which was published in the United Kingdom in
July 1997. The book was renamed Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone
for the American market. The last book - Harry Potter and the Deathly
Hallows- was released on July 2007.
Each book describes one year in
Harry’s life at Hogwarts, where he learns to use magic and brew potions. The
wizarding world in which Harry finds himself is a collection of hidden streets,
lonely country manors and castles that remain invisible to the large
non-magical population known as “Muggles”. It is also a world of elves and
ghosts, dragons and monsters, owls and flying broomsticks, a world where the
Hogwarts Express departs from Platform 9 ¾.
J.K. Rowling’s series of books has
won many awards including the Hugo Award for the Best Novel. The seven books
released have collectively sold more than 300 million copies and been
translated into ninety three languages. The last book Deathy Hallows alone
broke sales records as the fastest-selling book ever, selling more than 11
million copies in the first twenty-four hours following its release.

1.7 Reading
Comprehension
Who is
more powerful ?
There was a Traveller who set out on
a long journey to a distant land.
He marched along deserted roads,
whistling a tune to himself. He wore a thick, brown cloak and a black scarf. He
looked up at early morning sky. The sun’s pink radiance seemed to smile down at
him. He felt a gentle wind against his cheeks and it ruffled his hair.
“What a beautiful morning!” he said
to himself and walked on cheerily.
The north Wind shook the heads of
wayside bluebells and daisies. He was in very good mood that morning too. He
blew out a greeting to the sun, “Hello Sunshine! How are you doing this fine
day?”
Was fine as the day I am painting
with my pretty rainbow rays!”
The North Wind drew his breath in
sharply. He whistled up the sloping road and shock the silver birches that
lined the path.
“Hmmm. It is obvious you have not
noted my presence. Today is such a fine day because I fan the leaves and stroke
the blades of grass with my feather light touch,” He declared.
The Sun snorted aloud. “What’s the
world without the Sun? There will be no day or night without me. In fact, there
will be no life itself if I go away.” The wind was annoyed. He did not want to be
surpassed in his actions. “Not so fast. Without me, there will be no movement.
All life will come to standstill. Without me, no one can even breathe, “he
argued in a loud, harsh voice. Their conversation got hotter and shriller.
Neither of them wanted to surrender their importance. Their quarrel over who
was more powerful, soon took an unpleasant turn. A challenge was thrown. Each
had to prove who was more powerful. Nothing less would solve the matter.
Meanwhile the Traveller had stopped
under the shade of a tree for a bit of rest. The Sun and the Wind looked down
at him.
“Let us test our strength on him.”
suggested the Sun. “He is the stronger who can strip the Traveler of his cloak,
“he challenged with a wink of a sparking eye.
“Very well,” growled the North Wing,
and at once sent a cold, howling blast against the Traveler.
He blew up a storm of dry leaves from
under the shade of the tree. The tree swayed furiously and the dust in the air
stung the eyes of the Traveler.
He got up and brushed off the dry
leaves stuck to his cloak. He did not know he was shortly to become the centre
of a mighty storm.
The North Wind began to blow stronger
and harder. He rushed and pushed, roared and howled. The Traveler began to feel
cold. He gathered the ends of his cloak and drew it close to his body. He tied
the scarf tightly around his neck and trudged on. The North Wind grew red in
the face as he whistled and shrieked around the Traveler. All his efforts went
in vain. The Traveller only hunched his body up against the wind and dragged
himself forward. He just would not take off the cloak. “Oh, alright, alright!
This Traveler is too stubborn for comfort. You try if you want, “said the Wind
to the Sun and he took himself up to the skies.
The Sun pushed through the dark
clouds and shone down at the Traveller. He began to glow brighter and hotter.
Everything shimmered around the Traveller. Even the road seemed to shine like a
mirror.
The searing heat began to trouble the
Traveller. Beads of perspiration stood out on his forehead. It trickled down
his neck and wet his scarf. The Traveller loosened the knots and tugged off his
scarf. Soon he felt the sweat running down his back. He untied his cloak and
threw himself down another tree.
“Ah, much better!” he said to himself
as he wiped his forehead. “Aha!” laughed the Sun. “What do you say to that, my
friend?” he said the Wind. “The cloak has been removed!” he chuckled loudly.
The Wind grew quiet. He knew the
right strategy had worked.
“I accept, O Sun, that you are more
powerful,” he said in a controlled voice. Once again, the sun shone with
comfortable warmth and the wind blew gently about. The Traveller whistled a
merry tune and continued on his journey.
