Read the selection and answer the question.

Good manners can be seen at home, at school, on the playground, and at the dining table where we eat out meals. A well mannered person is polite and gentle when he talks.


Everyone likes a person who is polite and good mannered. Good manners are always liked by everyone and bring good rewards.


All that is right pleases everyone. Therefore we should do what is right always. We should always remember to do what is right.


All that is wrong displeases everyone. Therefore, we should not do what is wrong. We will be rewarded for our good actions.


A boy or girl who constantly comes late for any work cannot be depended upon. People do not give him any important work for they do not know whether he will come on time or not. A person who is always late loses his friends.


All of us make mistakes. When we make a mistake we do not like to be punished for it. We like to be forgiven. Therefore, we too should forgive the mistakes of others. Forgiveness is a great virtue.


It is easy to make a mistake, but it is not easy to forget that mistake. If we make some mistake, we should feel sorry for it. We should also apologize to the person whom we have hurt.


We should not cheat in an examination. Cheating always does more harm than good. We should not keep bad company.

What does this selection talk about?

Read the passage and answer the question.

Everything in nature follows a pattern. Circles, lines, spirals, and angles are repeated to make a design or a pattern. Patterns in nature are not just pretty adornments. They serve a purpose that has helped nature survive and flourish.
Have you ever taken a close look at a beehive? Well, not too close or you might get stung! The natural pattern in beehives is so perfect that it seems to be computer designed. The hives are made up of layers and layers of cells. Each cell has six perfectly equal sides or hexagons. Why would bees build six-sided cells, instead of round, or box shaped ones? The reason is that the bee is a genius at geometry and architecture! Six-sided cells use up every bit of space and allow bees to get the maximum area for storing honey. Also, Hexagons use the least honeycomb wax because all six sides are identical in length. The bees don’t waste space, material, or effort. Aren’t they smart insects?
