Reading a short passage
The Right Way to Brush Not many of us know how to brush out teeth properly. Proper burshing takes at least two minutes twice a day. Brushing should be gentle. Use small headed tooth brush beacuse it can reach all the areas of the mouth. You must clean the outer surfaces of your upper teeth and then your lower teeth. You must clean the inner surfaces of your upper teeth and then your lower teeth. Also clean the chewing surfaces. You must not forget to brush your tongue too. Brushing of tongue removes bacteria and freshens the breath. You must replace your toothbrush every three months.

The Farmhouse Cows Summary in Hindi
Rajinder got very ………………………. simply delicious !”
राजिन्दर के माता पिता ने शहर से गांव में जाने के लिए गांव में एक खेत (फार्म) खरीदा था, इसलिए वह बहुत खुश था। यहाँ सब कुछ भिन्न था। यहाँ पर व्यस्त सड़कों के विपरीत छोटी-छोटी हरी-भरी गलियां (सड़कें), ऊँची इमारतों के विपरीत बड़े-बड़े पेड़ और ढेर सारे पशु-पक्षी थे।
राजिन्दर ने जानवरों को गिना और अपनी माता से कहा, “माँ, खेतों में बत्तीस बकरियां और छ: छोटे-छोटे बच्चे हैं। खेत पर नौ घोड़े हैं और मैंने सुबह दो खरगोश तथा लगभग बारह बत्तखें भी देखी हैं। मैं उन्हें ठीक ढंग से नहीं गिन पाया क्योंकि वे एक स्थान पर नहीं टिक पा रही थीं। मुर्गियां भी नहीं टिक रही थीं।” माता ने पूछा, “गायों के बारे में क्या?” “क्या तुमने उन्हें गिना है?”
राजिन्दर ने कहा, “मुझे गाय पसन्द नहीं हैं। उनके सींग बड़े-बड़े होते हैं और वे मुझ पर गरजती (गुस्सा करती) हैं। माता ने कहा, “अरे, नहीं। शेर गरजते हैं। गाय तो केवल भाएं-भाएं (Moo) करती हैं।” राजिन्दर ने कहा, “ठीक है, मुझे तो यह शेर की आवाज जैसी लगती है।” “मैं गायों को बिल्कुल भी पसंद नहीं करता ।
वे बुरी होती हैं।” माता ने कहा, ” नहीं, वे बहुत अच्छी मित्र होती हैं। वे हमें स्वादिष्ट उपहार देती हैं।” उन्होंने एक दूध का जग नीचे उतारा। उन्होंने उसे एक प्याले में डालकर राजिन्दर को दिया। वह उसे पी गया। उसने सिर हिलाकर मां से पूछा, “तो, क्या यह गाय से मिला है? अच्छा, पर यह तो स्वादिष्ट था।”
At lunch time …………………………. out of it.
दोपहर के भोजन के सश्चश्चमय माता जी ने राजिन्दर को सेब वाला एक मीठा पकवान खाने को दिया। उसने कसटर्ड के लिए, इधर-उधर देखा जो साधारणतया उसकी माँ उसके लिए इस पकवान के साथ बनाती थी। वह नहीं था। माता ने राजिन्दर को मोटी गाढ़ी मलाई से भरा एक छोटा सा जग दिया और कहा, “गाय ने तुम्हारे लिए यह उपहार भेजा है।” कितना प्यारा था यह। राजिन्दर ने इसे अपने सेबों पर डाल लिया।
ये पहले से अधिक स्वादिष्ट लग रहे थे। छोटे बच्चे ने कहा, “तो ये भी गाय से मिलती है! अच्छा, तो यह एक दयालु जानवर होगा।” माता जी ने कहा, “हाँ, यह तो है। ये सभी चीजें गाय के दूध से बनती हैं।” राजिन्दर यह जानकर हैरान था कि गाय हमें इतना सारा दूध देती है जिससे उसकी मां इतनी सारी चीजें बना लेती है। चाय के समय माता जी ने ब्रैड के एक पीस घर का बना जैम लगाकर मेज़ पर परोसा। सामान्यत: यहाँ पर ब्रेड के स्लाइस (टुकड़े) और मक्खन होता था। राजिन्दर देखो, “गाय ने मेरे लिए भी एक उपहार भेजा है।”
माता जी ने यह कहते हुए पनीर वाले बर्तन का ढक्कन उठाया। राजिन्दर ने उसके अंदर घर में बने पनीर का बड़ा सा ढेर देखा। माँ ने अपने लिए पनीर का एक टुकड़ा काटा और कहा यह बहुत स्वादिष्ट है। राजिन्दर ने कहा, “क्या मैं अपने ब्रेड पर भी थोड़ा सा लगा सकता हूँ।” राजिन्दर ने कहा, “ओह! मेरे भगवान ! कितना अच्छा मित्रों जैसा जीव है गाय ! अब न तो मैं इससे घृणा करूँगा और न ही इससे डरूँगा।”
माँ ने कहा, “इसका कोई कारण भी नहीं है।” राजिन्दर ने कहा, “मैं गायों के खेतों की ओर जाने वाले गेट पर जाऊँगा और वहाँ खड़े होकर गायों का धन्यवाद करूँगा। मैं नहीं जानता था कि वे इतनी दयालु होती हैं !” और अब राजिन्दर गायों से बिल्कुल भी भयभीत नहीं है और वह उन्हें बहुत पसंद करता है। वह कहता है कि ये उसकी मित्र हैं। आप क्या कहते हैं ?
