Read the passage below. Answer the questions :

Once it's 9:30 p.m., all is quiet at Mayas house . Maya and her brother Kishan are sleeping soundly. "My husband and I sleep-trained them at an early age, and our routine will not change" says Deepali, who works as a teacher. "They have a bath, brush their teeth, say a prayer, and get a story. Then it's lights-out. I'm convinced that's why they have fewer health problems. They also don't get as many colds as other kids in their class."

Parents have always felt that sleep directly affects a child's mood, and most would agree it's got a big impact on learning and behavior. But pediatric researchers' latest findings suggest that sleep is also essential to good health. When kids get the sleep they need, they may have a lower risk of becoming overweight and developing diabetes as well as fewer learning problems and attention issues. Sleep is as important as nutrition and exercise. It's when the body repackages neurotransmitters, chemicals that enable brain cells to communicate. And experts have recently been able to demonstrate that sleep allows brain cells to "take out the trash" each night, flushing out disease-causing toxins.

(a) When does Maya and her brother go to sleep? Why ?

(b) What does her mother believe?

(c) Make a of list of at least five benefits of a good nights sleep.

Ghosts in the Verandah

Ruskin Bond

Bibiji, my neighbour, a warm, attractive woman in her early thirties, is fond of odd, scary stories, most of which have their setting in her village near Mathura.

The other night Bibiji launched into an account of various types of ghosts she had known - the ghosts of wicked women -churels-who appeared with their feet facing backwards; ghosts with long front teeth who sucked human blood and ghosts who take the form of snakes and animals.

One species that I found particularly fascinating was themunjia(supposedly the disembodied spirit of a Brahmin youth who died before his marriage) which is said to take up its abode in the branches of a lonely peepul tree. When the spirit is annoyed, it rushes out from the tree and upsetstongas, bullock carts and bicycles; even a bus is known to have been overturned by amunjia. According to Bibiji, should anyone be passing beneath a peepul tree at night, he must be careful not to yawn without covering his mouth or snapping his fingers in front of it. If he doesn't remember to do this, themunjiawill dash down his throat and completely ruin his digestive system.

Among other things, Bibiji told us of the night she had seen the ghost of her husband's first wife. The ghost had lifted Bibiji's baby, then a few months old, out of its cradle, rocked it in her arms for a little while, and announced she was glad the child was a good boy- a sentiment which is not shared by those who know him, for Bibiji's son, now ten, is th
