A glacier is a huge block of ice that flows very slowly over land. Glaciers are formed in the North Pole and South Pole and in high mountains. The cold climate and low temperatures in these areas help large amounts of ice to collect and turn into ice blocks. Glaciers begin to form when snow falls during the winter months. The snow builds up in layers and these layers get heavy because of their weight. Gradually, the ice becomes so thick that it begins to move because of its own weight and starts moving down the mountains. This happens due to the Law7 of Gravity. As the ice moves down the slopes mountains, it start melting slowly due to the heat of the Earth. As glaciers move downwards, they also change the shape of the land they move on. Most glaciers flow very slowly and move less than 30 centimetres a day. The various parts of a glacier move at different speeds. The central and upper part of a glacier flow the fastest. The sides and bottom move more slowly because they rub against the walls and floor of the valley. The world's most famous glaciers are in Europe. They lie in the French and Swiss Alps. They are Mer de Glace and the Aletsch Glacier. There are glaciers in North America as well, such as the Malaspina Glacier in Alaska. Glaciers begin to form when:

Read the following passages carefully and answer the questions that follow: No one knows for sure when the use of hats originated. But we do know why people wore them and still do. Hats are worn for two primary reasons. One, for protection, and two, for decoration. In parts of the world where the weather is hot and sunny, people protect their heads from the sun with wide-brimmed hats. Mexicans wear one such hat called the sombrero. Indians wear a topi, pagdee or a cloth roughly tied around the head. A particular kind of pagdee or the turban is worn by the Sikhs for religious reasons. Farmers in Rajasthan and some other states wear a pagdee for traditional reasons as well as for protection from the Sun. In other parts of the world where the climate is cold, people often wear woollen hats and some of them even have earflaps. Then there are decorative hats worn as an accessory to a person's clothing like a harlequin hat. A South American cowboy wears a hat, which is part of his traditional costume, while a North American cowboy wears a wide-brimmed hat, which protects him from the Sun. A hat can also tell us about the occupation of its wearer. Fire-fighters, coal-miners, nurses and policemen wear special hats which look very common to their profession. Fire-fighters, coal-miners, policemen and nurses ____.
The great ship Titanic sailed for New York from South Hampton on April 10th, 1912. It was carrying 1316 passengers and a crew of 891. Even by modern standards, the Titanic was a colossal ship. In speed, in comfort, in beauty, in equipment, it was a masterpiece. At that time, however, it was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinkable, for it had sixteen water-tight compartments. Even if two of these were flooded, it would still be able to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for it went down on her maiden voyage with a heavy loss of life.Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted. After the alarm had been given, the great ship turned sharply to avoid a direct collision. The Titanic just turned in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice which rose over 100 feet out of the water besides it. Suddenly, there was a slight trembling sound from below. The noise had been so faint that no one thought that the ship had been damaged. The captain went down to see what had happened. He realised to his horror that the Titanic was smoking rapidly. Five of her sixteen water-light compartments had already been flooded. The order to abandon the ship was given and hundreds of people plunged into the icy water. As there Were not enough lifeboats for everybody, 1500 lives were lost.1500 people lost their lives when the Titanic sank mamly because:

Human beings who get irritated by other people or situations around them only manage to make themselves angry. But oysters produce one of the most valuable gems when they get irritated. Oysters are a kind of shellfish found mostly at the bottom of the sea. There are many kinds of oysters like calms, conchs, mussels, scallops and others. An oyster is shaped like an oval box with a lid. Usually the oyster keeps its lid slightly open. Some kinds of oysters are edible and considered to be a delicacy.A fleshy layer of the skin lines the inner side of the oyster and is called the mantle. Sometimes a grain of sand or some other object gets in through the open space and irritates the mantle. The mantle tries to stop this irritation by making layers and layers of shell inside it. The layers cover the irritating grain of sand or object till it is covered. This process takes several years and it eventually produces one of the most valuable gems - the PEARL.Pearls come in many different colours like pink, orange, gold, cream, white or dark grey They also come in varied shapes like round, button-shaped and drop-shaped. Based on shapes, round pearls, which are used for necklaces, are the most valuable. Among colours, the dark grey pearls are the ones that fetch the maximum price.So, the next time you find yourself getting irritated by someone or something, ask yourself if getting angry adds to your value!Oysters produce pearls when they:
