Channapatna is a city in Ramanagara District, Karnataka, India and is noted for its famous handmade
lacquer wooden toys all over the world. It’s popularly known as “Gombegala Ooru” or the “Toy City” of
Karnataka.
The origin of the wooden toys dates back to the period of Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore who was a
great admirer of wooden toys. He took the initiative to invite artisans from Persia and train the local artists
to learn the process of making wooden toys. The artisans still follow the traditional method of making the
toys for nearly two centuries. They are only using ivory wood for making the toys and very rarely rosewood
and sandalwood are used. But slowly the artisans have also started to use other woods like teak, pine, rubber
and cedar wood.
Manufacturing stages include procuring the wood, seasoning the wood, cutting the wood into the desired
shapes, pruning and carving the toys, applying the colours and finally polishing the finished product.
Vegetable dyes are used in the colouring process to ensure that the toys and dolls are safe for use by children.
More than 6,000 people in Channapatna, working in 254 home manufacturing units and 50 small factories,
were engaged in the making of these toys.

IX. Read the text carefully, then do the tasks.
The earth is warming at an alarming rate, and humans are running out of nonrenewable resources. As an
individual, you’ve become increasingly aware of the impact your life has on the planet. Even if you make
every effort to live sustainably, you likely won’t do much to help the planet. However, if you take the
concept of green living beyond a personal approach and into the community, your collective effort will make
a huge difference.
One way you can inspire your community to go green is by shopping locally. That means frequenting
local farmers’ markets and small family-owned businesses, as well as farm-to-table restaurants. The goal is to
reduce food miles while supporting the local economy. This local shopping time can allow you to get to
know your community.
 You might also make occasional trips to the local thrift shop or charity organization to donate food or
unwanted, lightly used items. Ask your neighbors if they have anything they’d like to donate, and offer to
take it for them. Better yet, you could even host a community clothing or food drive to collect items. Doing
this will inspire your community to think twice before tossing unwanted items in the trash, and maybe even
encourage your neighbors to purchase used items instead of heading to the store first.
A. Find the word in bold from the passage that means:
1. often visiting ____________
2. done sometimes but not often ____________

4. in a way that causes little or no damage to the environment ____________

a. can help much more than we expected.

c. will sufficiently save the earth from global warming.
d. will make a huge difference to the planet.
2. What is another word for thrift shop?
a. sale shop b. corner shop c. craft shop d. charity shop
3. What is one benefit of shopping locally?
a. You can get to know your community.
b. You can own a small business or a farm-to-table restaurant.
c. You can give yourself more local shopping time.
d. You can help to keep your community clean.
4. By encouraging people to donate used items, __________
