SECOND SEMESTER
Grade-10 ENGLISH Time Allowed (2) hours.
I. Read the following passage.
Fresh fruits and vegetables are good for us because they contain vitamins and minerals.
Eggs, milk, cheese, fish, chicken, beef and mutton are good for us because they contain proteins.
Rice, bread, and potatoes give us carbohydrate for the starch and sugar we need for our daily
activities. One thing we need to be careful about is that we should never eat more than we need.
After all, too much of anything is not good. All doctors advise us to have a “balanced diet”. A
“balanced diet” is “a combination of the correct types and amounts of food”. If we have a
balanced diet, we will get the right amount of vitamins and minerals for each day.

Millions of people drive to work every day. It is simply unavoidable in our modern

our atmosphere. Vehicle emissions are a close second when it comes to the top causes of climate
change. There are always other options that you can utilize to make your commute to work eco-
friendly. For starters, taking public transportation to work is a great way to cut out emissions.
Riding your bike to work is also incredibly helpful to the environment and is a great method to get
exercise.
Becoming more energy efficient is a great way to prevent pollution. It causes the power
plants to expend less energy that can lead to the production of greenhouse gases. This means that
