BERRIES FOR GOPAL
Gopal paused to take in the smell and scene around him as he walked down the street.
He often took this route after school, but did not remember seeing the creepers that covered the bushes near the road.
He supposed they might have always been there, but the recent rains had probably made them bigger and healthier for they had grown larger and longer. Now, the creepers seemed to cover everything and bunches of dark berries could be seen among the deep green leaves. The berries looked delicious, small and red though some were larger and yellowish.
Gopal watched the creepers spread and grow everyday on his way to and back from school and finally one day he decided to taste the abundant tiny fruit. However, first he wanted to be sure they were edible and took some home to his grandmother who said they were a kind of gooseberry. Later that day, Gopal checked on the internet to correctly identify the plant. He found that there were whole pages dedicated to edible wild fruits and plants, as well as imposter plants that looked similar but were actually bad for you.
After much research, he decided the berries were safe to eat. He put one into his mouth and tasted the sharp, tangy flesh. Little black seeds were at the centre of the fruit.
He carefully, savoured the tartness of the wild gooseberry.
Then he began waiting an hour to see if there was any sort of reaction, just in case he’d made a mistake. After a while, when he found that he had no stomach pains or any other reaction, he ate a few more and then got a bag and collected all the berries he could find. He rinsed them and ate a few more, but he crushed most of them to make juice. The juice did not need sugar and tasted sweet and natural. This is how Gopal became interested in plants and eating the wild fruit?
A. They might be poisonous.
B. They might make him fat.
C. They might not be delicious.
D. They might cause infections.
24. How did Gopal decide that the fruit was safe?
A. They looked delicious.
B. He did a lot of research.
C. He watched a programme on TV.
D. He consulted a doctor.
25. Why did Gopal wait after eating some of the fruit?
A. He was letting them react.
B. He was making sure he didn’t get sick.
C. He was making juice.
D. He was collecting more berries.
26. How did finding the wild fruit change Gopal?
A. He started appreciating nature more.
B. He ate more healthily.
C. He got bitten by a snake.
D. He stopped buying store food.

IndIan RhInocERos
The Indian rhinoceros lives primarily in northern India and Nepal. These massive beasts have some noticeable physical dif-ferences from their African relatives. Their segmented hide looks like a formidable coat of natural body armor. It functions a bit like one also: Flexible skin between the thicker hide "plates" allows them to shift as the rhinoceros moves.
As their Latin name Rhinoceros unicornis suggests, Indian rhinos have only one horn.
Like other rhinos, these animals have sharp hearing and a keen sense of smell. They may find one another by following the trail of scent each enormous animal leaves behind on the landscape. An Indian rhino can move very quickly when aroused. Their charges have been clocked at 30 miles (48 kilometers) an hour. They can weigh up to 2000 kg. Despite their bulk, they are nimble and can jump or change direction quickly.
The Indian rhino is a grazer that travels established, tunnel-like paths through its tall grass habitat. It grasps tall grasses with its prehensile (gripping) lip. In addition to grass, rhinos eat fruit, leaves, and sometimes farm crops. They are often around water and sometimes consume aquatic plants.
These herbivorous mammals and their average life span in the wild is about 40 years. These animals forage in the cooler temperatures of morning and afternoon to avoid exerting themselves in the unbearable mid-day heat. When the sun is high, they often wallow or submerge themselves in water.
They can grow to a length of about 12.5 feet (3.8 m) and height at shoulders, up to 6 feet (1.8 m).
The prominent horn for which these rhinos are so well-known has also been their downfall. Many animals have been killed for this hard, hair-like growth, which is revered for medicinal use in China, Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Singapore. The horn is also valued in North Africa and the Middle East as an ornamental dagger handle. There are only about 2,000 Indian rhinos left in the wild. They are an endangered species.
20. How long can the rhinos live?
A. 12.5 years B. Many years C. Thirty years D. Forty years
