Read the following passage and make notes (or) write a summary:



Ants are among a few kinds of animals that divide up their work. Ants are of innumerable kinds. They are scattered wide over the world. Ants are called social insects because of the way they live. They live in groups or colonies. An ant colony is mostly made up of worker ants. The workers are female ants but they do not lay eggs. Only queen ants lay eggs. The young queens and the male ants have wings. Some of the worker ants of a colony gather food. Some do the house keeping and take care of the queen and baby ants. Some guard the nest. The workers that guard the nest may be bigger and have stronger jaws than the other workers. So they are called soldiers. Army ants march from place to place and they even build bridges and rope ways with their bodies by holding on one another. These ants are very fierce. Even elephants will try to get out of the way of an ant army. An ant colony is often marked by an ant hill. To make rooms underground to line in, the workers carry sand up to the surface and dump it. But not all ants live underground. Carpenter ants live in dead wood. Some ants live inside people’s houses. All ants have four stages in their life history. First, they are eggs, then tiny worm like larvae, next pupae and finally full grown ants.

She was simple, not being able to adorn herself; but she was unhappy, as one out of her class; for women belong to no caste, no race; their grace, their beauty, and their charm serving them in the place of birth and family. Their inborn fineness, their instinctive elegance, their suppleness of wit are their only aristocracy, making some daughters of the people the equal of great ladies.



She suffered incessantly, feeling herself born for all delicacies and luxuries. She suffered from the poverty of her apartment, the shabby walls, the worn chairs, and the faded stuff. All these things, which another woman of her station would not have noticed, tortured and angered her.

Compared to a motorbike or car, the bicycle is a slow moving vehicle but its popularity has been on the increase in recent years. There are many reasons for this. Firstly, the bicycle does not require petrol or diesel as a car or motorbike does. In these days of fuel shortage this is a definite advantage; it draws power from the rider. The bicycle, moreover, is small, light and convenient. There are no parking problems. Another reason for its popularity is that it takes one, to one’s des¬tination with more certainty that cars or large motorbikes which are often held up in traffic jams. Then, there is the fact that the bicycle causes absolutely no pollution. It produces no noise and no smoke. Finally, it is now known that riding a bicycle is a good exercise which tones up one’s muscles. No wonder, more and more people prefer a bicycle to other modes of transport.

Compared to a motorbike or car, the bicycle is a slow moving vehicle but its popularity has been on the increase in recent years. There are many reasons for this. Firstly, the bicycle does not require petrol or diesel as a car or motorbike does. In these days of fuel shortage this is a definite advantage; it draws power from the rider. The bicycle, moreover, is small, light and convenient. There are no parking problems. Another reason for its popularity is that it takes one, to one’s destination with more certainty that cars or large motorbikes which are often held up in traffic jams. Then, there is the fact that the bicycle causes absolutely no pollution. It produces no noise and no smoke. Finally, it is now known that riding a bicycle is a good exercise which tones up one’s muscles. No wonder, more and more people prefer a bicycle to other modes of transport.
