The term ‘dietary fibres’ refers collectively to indigestible carbohydrates present in plant foods. The importance of these dietary fibres
came into the picture when it was observed that the people taking a diet rich in these fibres had low incidence of coronary heart
disease, irritable bowel syndrome, dental caries and gall stones.
The foodstuffs rich in these dietary fibres are cereals and grains, legumes, fruits with seeds, citrus fruits, carrots, cabbage, green leafy
vegetables, apples, melons, peaches, pears etc. These dietary fibres are not digested by the enzymes of the stomach and the small
intestine. They have the property of holding water and because of it, these get swollen and behave like a sponge as these pass through
the gastrointestinal tract. The fibres add bulk to the diet and increase transit time in the gut and decrease the time of release of
ingested food in the colon. These fibres hold water so the stools are soft, bulky and readily eliminated.
In recent years, it has been considered essential to have some amount of fibres in the diet. Their beneficial effects lie in preventing
heart disease and decreasing cholesterol level. The fibres like gum and pectin are reported to decrease post prandial (after meals)
glucose level in blood. They are also recommended for the management of certain types of diabetes. The fibres increase motility of the
small intestine and the colon and so there is less time for exposure of the mucosa to harmful toxic substances. Therefore, there is a
less desire to eat and the energy intake can be maintained within the range of requirement. This phenomenon helps in keeping a check
on obesity.
The dietary fibres may have some adverse effects on nutrition by binding some trace metals like calcium, magnesium, phosphorus,
zinc and others and therefore preventing their proper absorption. This may pose a possibility of nutritional deficiency especially when
diets contain marginal levels of mineral elements. This may put constraints on increasing dietary fibres. It is suggested that an intake
of 40 gram dietary fibres per day is desirable.

The methods of embalming, or treating the dead body, that the ancient Egyptians used is called ‘mummification’. Using special
processes, the Egyptians removed all moisture from the body, leaving only a dried form that would not easily decay. It was important in
their religion to preserve the dead body in as life-like a manner as possible. The mummification process took seventy days. Special
priests worked as embalmers, treating and wrapping the body. Beyond knowing the correct rituals and prayers to be performed at
various stages, the priests also needed a detailed knowledge of human anatomy. The first step in the process was the removal of all
internal parts that might decay rapidly. The brain was removed by carefully inserting special hooked instruments up through the
nostrils in order to pull out bits of brain tissue. The embalmers then removed the organs of the abdomen and chest through a cut
usually made on the left side of the abdomen. They left only the heart in place, believing it to be the center of a person's being and
intelligence. The other organs were preserved separately, with the stomach, liver, lungs and intestines placed in special boxes or jars,
today called ‘canopic jars’. These were buried with the mummy.
The embalmers next removed all moisture from the body. This they did by covering the body with ‘natron’, a type of salt which has great
drying properties, and by placing additional natron packets inside the body. When the body had dried out completely, embalmers
removed the internal packets and lightly washed the natron off the body. The result was a very dried-out but recognizable human form.
To make the mummy seem even more life-like, sunken areas of the body were filled out with linen and other materials and false eyes
were added. Next the wrapping began. Each mummy needed hundreds of yards of linen. The priests carefully wound the long strips of
linen around the body, sometimes even wrapping each finger and toe separately before wrapping the entire hand or foot. In order to
protect the dead
from mishap in after life, amulets were placed among the wrappings and prayers and magical words written on some of the linen
strips. Often the priests placed a mask of the person's face between the layers of head bandages. At last, the priests wrapped the final
cloth or shroud in place and secured it with linen strips. The mummy was complete. It was then placed in the tomb along with food,
furniture, vessels, perfumes, jewels and other things required in the after life.

The methods of embalming, or treating the dead body, that the ancient Egyptians used is called ‘mummification’. Using special
processes, the Egyptians removed all moisture from the body, leaving only a dried form that would not easily decay. It was important in
their religion to preserve the dead body in as life-like a manner as possible. The mummification process took seventy days. Special
priests worked as embalmers, treating and wrapping the body. Beyond knowing the correct rituals and prayers to be performed at
various stages, the priests also needed a detailed knowledge of human anatomy. The first step in the process was the removal of all
internal parts that might decay rapidly. The brain was removed by carefully inserting special hooked instruments up through the
nostrils in order to pull out bits of brain tissue. The embalmers then removed the organs of the abdomen and chest through a cut
usually made on the left side of the abdomen. They left only the heart in place, believing it to be the center of a person's being and
intelligence. The other organs were preserved separately, with the stomach, liver, lungs and intestines placed in special boxes or jars,
today called ‘canopic jars’. These were buried with the mummy.
The embalmers next removed all moisture from the body. This they did by covering the body with ‘natron’, a type of salt which has great
drying properties, and by placing additional natron packets inside the body. When the body had dried out completely, embalmers
removed the internal packets and lightly washed the natron off the body. The result was a very dried-out but recognizable human form.
To make the mummy seem even more life-like, sunken areas of the body were filled out with linen and other materials and false eyes
were added. Next the wrapping began. Each mummy needed hundreds of yards of linen. The priests carefully wound the long strips of
linen around the body, sometimes even wrapping each finger and toe separately before wrapping the entire hand or foot. In order to
protect the dead
from mishap in after life, amulets were placed among the wrappings and prayers and magical words written on some of the linen
strips. Often the priests placed a mask of the person's face between the layers of head bandages. At last, the priests wrapped the final
cloth or shroud in place and secured it with linen strips. The mummy was complete. It was then placed in the tomb along with food,
furniture, vessels, perfumes, jewels and other things required in the after life.
Question:
Why was the knowledge of anatomy important for the priests?
To delay the decay of the body for seventy days
To wrap each part of the body
To remove internal organs from the body
To place natron packets in the body

When Tao Ying rides on the bus alone, quite often she does not bother to buy a ticket. Why should she? Without her, the bus would still
be stopping at every stop, a driver and a conductor would still have to be employed, and the same amount of petrol used. Clearly Tao
Ying has to be astute. When the bus conductor looked like the responsible type, she would buy a ticket as soon as she got on board.
But if he appeared to be casual and careless, she would not dream of paying, considering it a small punishment for him and a little
saving for herself.
Today she is with her son Xiao Ye. She follows him onto the bus. As the doors shut her jacket is caught, ballooning up like a tent behind
her. She twists this way and that, finally wrenching herself free. ‘Mama, tickets!’ Xiao Ye says. Children are often more conscious of
rituals than adults. Without a ticket in his hand, the ride doesn’t count as a proper ride. On the peeling paint of the door somebody has
painted the shape of a pale finger. It points at a number: 1.10 m. Between Xiao Ye ’s round head and the tip of the painted digit setting
out the height requirement for a ticket rests the beautiful slender fingers of Tao Ying. ‘Xiao Ye, you are not quite tall enough, still one
centimetre away,’ she tells him softly.
‘Mama! I’m tall enough, I’m tall enough!’ Xiao Ye shouts at the top of his voice, stamping on the floor as if it were a tin drum. ‘You told
me the last time I could have a ticket the next time, this is the next time. You don’t keep your word!’ He looks up at his mother angrily.
Tao Ying looks down at her son. A ticket costs twenty cents. Twenty cents is not to be scoffed at. It can buy a cucumber, two tomatoes
or, at a reduced price, three bunches of radishes or enough spinach to last four days. But Xiao Ye’s face is raised up like a half-open
blossom, waiting to receive his promise from the sun. She says, ‘Two tickets, please.’ The fierce conductor has beady eyes. ‘This child
is one centimetre short of requiring a ticket.’
Xiao Ye shrinks, not just one but several centimetres— the need for a ticket has all of a sudden become interwoven with the pride of a
small child. To be able to purchase self-esteem with twenty cents is something that can only happen in childhood and certainly no
mother can resist an opportunity to make her son happy. ‘I would like to buy two tickets,’ she says politely.
Question:

My grandmother and I were good friends. My parents left me with her when they went to live in the city and we were constantly
together. She used to wake me up in the morning and get me ready for school. She said her morning prayer in a monotonous sing-song
while she bathed and dressed me in the hope that I would listen and get to know it by heart; I listened because I loved her voice but
never bothered to learn it. Then she would fetch my wooden slate which she had already washed and plastered with yellow chalk, a tiny
earthen ink-pot and a red pen, tie them all in a bundle and hand it to me. After a breakfast of a thick, stale chapatti with a little butter
and sugar spread on it, we went to school. She carried several stale chapattis with her for the village dogs.
My grandmother always went to school with me because the school was attached to the temple. The priest taught us the alphabet and
the morning prayer. While the children sat in rows on either side of the verandah singing the alphabet or the prayer in a chorus, my
grandmother sat inside reading the scriptures. When we had both finished, we would walk back together. This time the village dogs
would meet us at the temple door. They followed us to our home growling and fighting with each other for the chapattis we threw to
them. When my parents were comfortably settled in the city, they sent for us. That was a turning-point in our friendship. Although we
shared the same room, my grandmother no longer came to school with me. I used to go to an English school in a motor bus. There
were no dogs in the
streets and she took to feeding sparrows in the courtyard of our city house. As the years rolled by we saw less of each other. For some
time she continued to wake me up and get me ready for school. When I came back she would ask me what the teacher had taught me.
I would tell her English words and little things of western science and learning, the law of gravity, Archimedes’ Principle, the world being
round, etc. This made her unhappy. She could not help me with my lessons. She did not believe in the things they taught at the English
school and was distressed that there was no teaching about God and the scriptures.

would meet us at the temple door. They followed us to our home growling and fighting with each other for the chapattis we threw to
them. When my parents were comfortably settled in the city, they sent for us. That was a turning-point in our friendship. Although we
shared the same room, my grandmother no longer came to school with me. I used to go to an English school in a motor bus. There
were no dogs in the
streets and she took to feeding sparrows in the courtyard of our city house. As the years rolled by we saw less of each other. For some
time she continued to wake me up and get me ready for school. When I came back she would ask me what the teacher had taught me.
I would tell her English words and little things of western science and learning, the law of gravity, Archimedes’ Principle, the world being
round, etc. This made her unhappy. She could not help me with my lessons. She did not believe in the things they taught at the English
school and was distressed that there was no teaching about God and the scriptures.
Question:
What kind of woman was the grandmother?
Illiterate
Modern
Self-centred
Religious

Vasco Da Gama was the first European to find an ocean trading route to India. He accomplished what many explorers before him could
not do. His discovery of this sea route helped the Portuguese establish a long-lasting colonial empire in Asia and Africa. The new
ocean route around Africa allowed Portuguese sailors to avoid the Arab trading hold in the Mediterranean and Middle East. Vasco da
Gama opened a new world of riches by opening up an Indian Ocean route. His voyage and explorations helped change the world for
Europeans. Vasco da Gama’s maritime career was during the period when Portugal was searching for a trade route around Africa to
India. The Ottoman Empire controlled almost all European trade routes to Asia. This meant they could, and did, charge high prices for
ships passing through
ports. When Manuel I became King of Portugal in 1495, he continued efforts to open a trade route to India by going around Africa.
Although other people were considered for the job, Manuel I finally chose 37-year-old Vasco da Gama for this task.
On 8 July 1497, Vasco da Gama sailed from Lisbon with a fleet of four ships and a crew of 170 men. Da Gama commanded the Sao
Gabriel. Paulo da Gama - brother to Vasco - commanded the São Rafael, a three mast ship. They sailed past the Canary Islands, and
reached the Cape Verde islands and then continued sailing, though storms still delayed them for a while. They rounded the cape of
Good Hope on 22 November and anchored at Mossel Bay, South Africa. They began sailing again and continued until they reached the
Rio dos Bons Sinais (River of Good Omens). Here they erected a statue in the name of Portugal. They stayed here for a month because
much of the crew were sick from scurvy - a disease caused by lack of Vitamin C. Da Gama’s fleet eventually began sailing again.
Finally, on 20 May 1498 they reached India. They headed for Kappad, near the large city of Calicut. In Calicut, da Gama met with the
king. But the king of Calicut was not impressed with da Gama, and the gifts he brought as offering. They spent several months trading
in India, and studying their customs. They left India at the end of August.
Question:
In which month did Vasco da Gama’s ship reach the Cape of Good Hope?
