Every second, 1 hectare of the world's rainforest is destroyed. That's
equivalent to two football fields. An area the size of New York City is lost
every day. In a year, that adds up to 31 million hectares more than the
land area of Poland. This alanning rate of destruction has serious
consequences for the environment; scientists estimate, for example, that
137 species of plant, insect or animal become extinct every day due to
logging. In British Columbia, where, since 1990, thirteen rainforest
valleys have been clear-cut, 142 species of salmon have already become
extinct, and the habitats of grizzly bears, wolves and many other creatures
are threatened. Logging, however, provides jobs, profits, taxes for the
government and cheap products of all kinds for consumers, so the
- government is reluctant to restrict or control it.
Much of Canada's forestry production goes towards making pulp and
paper. If these paper products could be produced in some other way,
Canadian forests could be preserved.

1. What are the consequences of logging on environment?

People do not think critically nowadays. They are easily swayed by
propaganda and emotionalism. They also do not know what it means
to argue. An argument occurs when we draw conclusion from various
premises. There are certain indicators for premises and for conclusions.
When we use because, for, based on the fact that, we are indicating a
premise. On demonstrating a conclusion, we use therefore. In order to
detect an argument, it is good to keep these indications in mind.
The foundation for all logical thinking is the law of non-contradiction
which simply means that a statement can not be true and not true at the
same time. For example, it cannot be both raining and not raining at the
same time. That law is fundamental to any kind of distinctions:
right and wrong, good and bad, true and false. Difficulties of
communication arise from differing culture age groups, races and
especially from differing worldviews.
A .. Answer the following questions:

In order to think properly, one must not jump at hasty generalization.
When you wish to make an argument for a certain position, you need
to gather information for support. In doing this. you must be very
careful to gather sufficient evidence to support your conclusion. When
a person gathers too little information to support the conclusion being
argued, it can not be a right one. Just because one or two taxi drivers
are rude does not mean that you can generalize that all taxi drivers
behave this way. However, you can say that the particular taxi drivers
you have encountered were rude .Thus. it is clear that people build
their prejudices on a very small sampling and then generalize and
apply them to an entire group of people or things.

"Back to nature" is a slogan adopted by the whole world nowadays.
Natural remedy is highly required by pharmaceutical companies. They

Herbs have healing powers, some herbs are used to heal rheumatism,
and others are boiled to organize digestion. These problems were dealt
with by using chemicals before. But now, thanks to biological
resources, things have changed a lot. "Back to nature" is not only
adopted in the field of medicine but it is also called for in the field of
nutrition. Raw fruit and Vegetables are regaining their lost appeal.
Scientists and experts warn people against fast food and ready made
meals. Parents and teachers have a role to play. They should raise the
awareness of their children to know what to eat and what to avoid
eating. Every one of us should adopt that slogan in his own life .

machines. Today, A. I has become on essential part of the technology
industry.Thinking machines and artificial beings appear in Greek.
Human likenesses, believing to have intelligence, were built in every
major civilization. Stories of these creatures and their fates discuss
many of the same hopes, fears and ethical concerns that are presented
by artificial intelligence. The study of logic led directly to the
invention of the programmable digital electronic computer based on
the work of mathematician Alan Turing and others.
Turing's theory of computation suggested that a machine could
stimulate any conceivable act of mathematical deduction.
This, along with recent discoverers in neurology, information theory
and cybernetics inspired small groups of researching to begin
seriously; considering the possibility of building an electronic brain.

There are many kinds of avian influenza. The one that has many

virus has killed birds in about forty countries. It is highly deadly to
chickens, turkeys and other pOUltry. But birds are not the only ones at
risk.
Experts still do not know exactly how the virus spread from Asia to
Europe and Africa. Migratory birds fly long distances between a
winter home and a summer home. Some researchers say these birds
are getting too much blame. But scientists believe ducks are a big part
of the problem. TI1ey say ducks might not get sick from bird flu but
spread the disease easily to chickens.
Animal health experts say people who want to protect chickens and
other birds should keep them in closed areas, away from wild birds.
Also, fann birds should not drink from water used by wild birds. If
the virus appears, people with special training and protective clothing
should kill all the birds on the farm. The farm must be cleaned
completely.

In many countries around the world, women are entering the work
force in great numbers for the first time. It is true that more women
are cUlTently employed than ever before. However, the goals of
equal work opportunity for women have not been fully realized.
For a number of reasons; they held low-ranking positions, the last to
be employed and the first to be fired when employment drops off.
They usually got lower-paying positions than men; even they were
doing the same work. Certainly, great efforts have been made
towards equality, but the problem of reaching this goal is becoming
increasingly clear all the time. Although women have come a long
way, they still have a long way to go for equal opportunity.
Women in China now receive equal pay for equal work, therefore,
they are not dependent on their families as they once were. In the
field of medicine ,they are nearly half of all the doctors, there.
On the other hand in many countries, women now work as
scientists, medical workers, welders, electrical workers, oil-well
operators, vegetable growers and members of the Armed forces.

6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Sport is an important part of today's society and plays a
large role in people's lives. Now more than ever sport
events dominate headlines and athletes have become
national heroes.
From a social standpoint, sport plays a positive role in
uniting people from different social backgrounds in
support of their favourite team. However, just as sport
unites people so it can divide them, as is often
demonstrated by crowd violence at football matches.
Sport is also an important part of every child's schooling,
as it plays a big role in their physical and mental
development. It teaches children how to work as part of a
team and co-operate with others, while at the same time, it
improves their physical condition. The only drawback to
this is that children who are less able to perform well in
sports are likely to feel inadequate in comparison to their
more gifted classmates, which may affect their self-
confidence. From an economic point of view, sports can
be very profitable, as it attracts a lot of advertising. On one
hand, this creates profit for the sporting industry which
allows for improvement and expansion. On the other hand,
large sums of money are often paid to event organizers to
promote products such as cigarettes, which are harmful to
one's health.
A. Answer the following questions:
1. According to the passage, sport has two social effects on
people, what are they?
2. In what way can sport be profitable?
3. How does sport play an important part in education?
B. Choose the correct answer from a, b. c or d:

5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
The village seems almost unchanged. A large area of green
vegetation surrounds the villagers' homes. Through the trees, you
can still see in the main street the same shops that were there when
you and I went away. There is no change in the shapes of the
fields. But you will notice some difference in the village school. It
is being added to, though you can still make out the lines of the old
buildings that we knew when we were.pupils there. Most of older
villagers have been happy enough to spend their whole lives here.
Now, of course, they are used to the place so that they do not want
to live away or travel far.
But for many young people, life here is not varied enough to
satisfy them. Their parents tell them that city life is very hard and
too competitive to suit them, but the young men and women
answer that conditions in the country are too
limited to offer them opportunities for making a good living. Their
parents naturally want to keep them. They say work on the land is
peaceful .They are very friendly with their neighbours. They share
their joys and sorrows. They help each other in misfortune. They
are never lonely. Very often the young men and women do not
listen to them. The city has too many attractions to offer, with its
busy streets, fine shops, bright lights, cinemas and other
entertainments. Many young villagers earn quite enough money in
the city to have a comfortable life. But they don't know how
difficult it is to get to work, and what temptations await them.
Some succeed, but many more fail.
A. Answer the following questions:
1. Why do many young villagers leave their villages?
2. What do parents in the village try to do?
3. What are the difficulties faced in a city?
B. Choose the correct answer from a , b , c or d:

6- R e a ~ the following passage, then answer the questions:
With the march of time, people and their customs change. In
China, before 1949, women were considered second class people.
Girls had to bind their feet to stop them from growing because
small feet were considered a sign of beauty. They suffered much
and couldn't stay on a job for a long time. After the 1949
revolution, Maozedong, who had done much to make China better,
said, "Women hold up half the sky." And from that time, women
were treated as men's equals. Many women have become business
owners and managers. New mothers are now allowed to take two
years out of work to look after their babies. All this looks good but
there is another side of the picture. Farm wives do most of the
donkey work in their fields and spend about 12 hours a day
working. Most are illiterate; they know nothing about reading or
writing. Moreover, if a working woman had a baby and stayed at
home to look after it for two years, she was not allowed to go back
to her previous job.
In the late seventies, a law came out and was obeyed by all. It
ordered each family to have one child only, and in case parents had
a second child, they had to get rid of it or lose their jobs. Many
families wished to have a son. People, then, believed that girls
were a shame. Therefore, if they had a baby girl, they drowned her
in the river or just threw her away. About half a million female
babies were killed ,each year. Nowadays, there are 118 males for
each 100 females. In spite of this, husbands treat their wives badly
and beat them. Di vorce has become quite frequent.
A. Answer the following questions:
1. Why do women consider Maozedong the greatest Chinese leader?
2. Account for the fact that Chinese men today are more in number than
women.
3. How did China solve the problem of overpopulation?
B. Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4. The Chinese government made the people obey the law by ........... .
a- allowing all working women to stay at home for two years.
b- making those who had a second child lose their jobs.
c- allowing parents to drown the baby girl.
d- doing an these things.
5. Chinese couples prefelTed to have a son because ............ .
a- sons love their parents more.
b- sons have a much better future since women are treated as men's
equals.
c- girls are still considered a shame.
d- an the above reasons.

There is no doubt that Egypt has every reason to be proud of its
ancient civilization that has yielded wonderful remains and
monuments. These have captured people's admiration and high
appreciation everywhere allover the world.
When tourists have been very well treated, satisfied and pleased with
th.eir visits in Egypt,' they will, no doubt, speak well of Egypt with
the good result that more and more tourists will come to our
country; so tourists themselves can be good propaganda.
Moreover, tourism is one of the main sources of income and hard
currency money that is badly needed to carry out investment
projects.
In order to attract tourists to Egypt, tourist offices in our embassies
in Europe, America and Asia should distribute well prepared
booklets and brochures that contain full and exciting information
about the old Egyptian legacy and its effects on other civilizations,
besides the places of interest and services that could be offered to
help tourists enjoy their tour.
Ancient remains as well as new discoveries of antiquities should
be described in an attractive manner. Moreover, art history
museums as well as Egyptian Civilization Museums should be set
up in the capitals of European and American countries.
More important still is the necessity of affording all possible
facilities to tourists as soon as they set foot in Egypt. We have to be
sure that tourists fe,el that their stay is enjoyable, comfortable and
without any troubles. Tourist police should stop any nuisance
committed that would spoil enjoyment and safety.
A. Answer the following questions: .

6- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Would you like to be a "teleworker"? Teleworkers are people who
work for companies, but not in companies. That is to say, they do
company work at home, usually on computers.
Teleworkers communicate with their bosses by telephone or fax.
They usually transfer information from their own computer to the
office computer by electronic means. Some companies also give video
phones to their teleworkers so that they can see their work colleagues
when they speak to them.
"Teleworking" is becoming more and more popular in Britain and in
USA. There are many reasons for this increase. The ~ i g g e s t advantage
for companies is that teleworking reduces the companies' running
costs. Having fewer employees at work means having less office
space. Also, comp1lters are now quicker and easier to use, and the
price keepS going down. For a company, it is cheaper to train
employees in computer skills and give them a personal computer to
use at home.
However, before you apply for a job as a teleworker, you should ask
yourself if it is really the best situation for you. Bill Smith, who works
for a big company, hasn't enjoyed his last three months at home. He
often falls asleep at the computer because he doesn't have anybody to
talk to. Next Week, he is starting a new job in a company where there
are five people in one small office." I can't wait", he says.
A. Answer the following questions:
1. Give two reasons why some companies like to employ teleworkers.
2. What enables teleworkers to see their work colleagues when they
speaktbem?
3. If you get the chance, would you like to work as a teleworker? Why?
Why not?

5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
. What sort of food are we likely to be eating in the year 2020? Most
people, when you ask them a question like that, either say: "There
won't be any left "or" whatever it is, there won't be much taste in
it". Of course there are good reasons for being pessimistic about
the world's food supplies in the future.
Nevertheless, not all experts share the general despondency:
For one thing, although the world's population is rising fast,
food production is keeping pace with it, even in developing
countries. It is therefore argued that the main reason why people
are hungry is not that there is a food shortage but that methods of
cultivation are not sufficiently advanced in some areas and the
food is not fairly distributed to all tnose that need it.
Moreover in most industrialized countries, one important cause of
trouble is our conservative preference for meat. After all, we are
already in a situation where we feed animals with grain to produce
high-quality beef, even though the grain would feed the human
population.
By the time our grandchildren have grown up, it seems likely that
many of these problems will have been resolved. Scientists are
already capable of constructing steaks from vegetable ingredients
like Soya beans. However skeptical we may be about their claim
that they can reproduce the substance, taste and colour of meat by
~ means, the fact is that the most common complaint about
such "steaks" is that we will no doubt have discovered a way of
including artificial bones, skin and fat!
A. Answer the following questions: .
1. What are the main reasons for food shortage at the present time?
2. Is our diet going to be the same or different in the future? Why?
3. Who can solve the problem of our preference for meat?
B. Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4. The underlined word "pessimistic" in the first paragraph

a- caring

5. The underlined

b- uncaring
d- hopeless
word "these" in the last paragraph refers to
b- vegetable ingredients
d- substance, taste and colour of meat.

When most children and older people- who should know better-
think of pirates, they think of storybook characters. The most
famous of these are Long John Silver in 'Treasure Island' and
Captain Hook in 'Peter pant. These and other pirates sailed the seas
in sailing ships. Their flag was skull and crossbones. They robbed
other ships and led exciting and adventurous lives. They lived over
a hundred years ago and although they were bad men, they. were
not completely wicked. This is the romantic idea of pirates. The
truth is very different. Firstly, most pirates were not and are not
like the storybook characters. They are not just men who robbed
other ships; they were and are murderers of the worst kind. They
killed and kill people for their money and goods.
Secondly, there are probably as many, if not even more, pirates on
the seas today than there were a hundred or m o r ~ years ago.
Nowadays, however, they do not sail in sailing ships and they do
not have swords. Modern pirates use fast motorboats. They have
machine guns and other weapons which they use to kill the sailors
and passengers on the ships they attack. Whereas pirates in history
were usually caught and punished. most modern pirates are never
caught. They move too quickly and there are too many of them.
Piracy is so serious that American sailing magazines tell their
readers to take weapons with them- the bigger the better. They also
advise having the most modern. So many people have had
problems with pirates that they don't talk about the fish they have
caught or the excitement of saiUng any more. They talk about
machine guns and bullets, and their escapes from pirate attacks.
When we think of pirates, therefore,' we should not have romantic
ideas, we should remember that they are really some. of the most
dangerous and wicked men in the history of sea travel.

5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Hockey is a very old team sport which is popular all over the world.
Hockey is normally played on grass, but there is also ice hockey.
Men and women can play hockey, and in some countries they play
together in mixed teams. Like footbal1, there are eleven players in a
hockey team. Players carry sticks which they use to control the ball -
either to pass it to other players on their team, or to hit it into a net
72
and score goals. The goalkeeper is the only player who can kick the
ball.
Hockey can be a dangerous game. The ball, which is small and very
hard, can break bones if it hits a player, and players can hurt each
other with their sticks. One of the important rules of the sport is that
players cannot lift their sticks above their shoulders.
a. Answer the following questions:
1. On what surfaces is hockey played?
2. What do hockey players use to hit the ball?
3. What can goalkeepers do that ordinary players cannot do?

5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
'Over the past twenty years, computers and the internet have
become more and more important to us. In fact, depending on
computer technology continues to grow everyday. We seem to use
computers for almost everything these days; in shopping, driving
our car, or communicating with relatives and colleagues.
This explosion in computer technology has resulted in a rush to
install computers in every classroom and to "wire" every school to
the Internet. In USA, between 1984 and 1997 alone, the number of
computers in secondary schools increased to more than 8 million
units. Both educators and students alike have been forced to keep
up with this new wave of technology. Teachers have found that
even though they themselves are still trying to learn the most basic
of computer skills, they are expected to teach students about
computer know-how.
Few people would question the role that computers could play in
education. Some educators claim that students given the
opportunity to use them in a classroom setting will get better grades
than those who learn without having had any computer experience.
These people say that just as computer technology has improved
the way cars work, computers will make the classroom a better
place to teach concepts and ideas that students need to become
brighter, more successful adults.
a. Answer the following questions:
1. How could computers help students become more successful?
2. Give an example from the passage that shows that computers have
been widely used in secondary education.
3. Give some examples of everyday uses of computers in our lives.

although ........... .
a- they know how to use computers.
b- they are still learning how to use computers.
c- they know all the basics of computer skills.
d- they are forced to use computers.
5. "Few people would question the role that computers could play"
means .......... ?
a- many people are certain about the importance of computers.
b- some people ask questions about computers.
c- not many people doubt the importance of computers.
d- some people want more computers.

6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Antarctica is the continent surrounding the South Pole. It has an
area of over 15 million square kilometers, about the size of the
USA and Mexico put together. With an average temperature at the
South Pole of 50C, it is the coldest continent. It is so cold that a
thick sheet of ice always lies over the land. Pack ice surrounds the
shore of Antarctica and cliffs of ice from the coast. The mountain
ranges which lie along the shore and inland are always covered in
snow. In fact, contains 90% of all the snow and ice in
the world.
However, Antarctica is not just a large, cold desert. It is rich in
mineral deposits; ,coal and minerals such as copper, iron, uranium,
gold and platinum have found there. Many oil companies have
carried out surveys in the area for oil and it is not clear whether
they have found any there, and whether it could be successfully
exploited in the conditions in and around the continent.
Cold as it is, Antarctica is also rich in animal life, but because of
the temperature, the animals and birds found there are aquatic, e.g.
seals and penguins. The sea is also particularly rich in Krill which
are small shrimp-like creatures that whales, seals' and penguins
feed on.
At the end of the nineteenth century, interest in Antarctica grew,
so that an increasing number of explores came from many
countries to explore the continent. They were from Sweden,
Belgium, Australia and New Zealand. They crossed the coast by
sledges pulled by dogs. That means of transport proved more
reliable than the motorized means which a British team was using
at that time.

5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
, Ecotourism is traveling to protected areas where human rights are
respected. Ecotourism is important as we want the future
generations to enjoy the same wonderful environment we have
today. Individuals who are ecological and socially conscious have
a role to play in that respect. They greatly appreciate the natural
beauty of nature.
Governments are trying all the time to help local communities and
local people to keep their heritage. Ecotourism also calls for
promotion of recycling and energy and water conservation.
Ecotourism is facing a great conflict between making money and
keeping away from the negative impact of tourism. The more
pressure on local environment is put, the more necessary the
development of infrastructure is needed. Places where wildlife
viewing is involved, animals can be scared away.
a. Answer the following questions:
1. What is ecotourism as you understood from the passage?
2. Why is it important for future generation that we keep nature as it
is today?
3. What is the role of individual in ecotourism?

6- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
The ancient Greeks always asserted that a healthy mind in a
healthy body is the key to a well-balanced life. Nowadays many
schools are decreasing the amount of time given to sports, and
some sehools are removing it altogether. Although academic
subjects are certainly a very important part of the school
curriculum, I am strongly opposed to the complete removal of
sports.
Firstly, schools have a responsibility to educate children in all
areas. For that reason, it is just as important to provide sports
practice for the professional sportsmen and women of the future,
as it is to provide academic training to those who will go on to
university.
90
In addition. students these days spend long hours studying or
working at their computers. Therefore, they need the opportunity
to do some physical activity during the school day. This will not
only help to increase their level of fitness and make them
healthier, it will also mean that they develop better social skills
and are able to concentrate on their studies for longer, and thus
achieve better result.
In conclusion, I strongly believe that sports should remain a key
part of the school curriculum. All children have the right to get a
balanced education . and they should not be deprived of the
opportunity to learn how to play sports.
a. Answer the following questions:
1. Does the writer support or oppose the issue of increasing sport time at
schools?
2. In your opinion, how could practising sports at schools help students
later in university and at work?
3. Why is it important to practise sports during the school day?
b. Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4. Which statement is not true?
a- Sports encourage team spirit.
b- Sports give the chance to be physically fit.
c- Sports help students become more successful.
d- Sports lead to overweight.

Computers are a major technological breakthrough of the twenty-

against them.
The main disadvantage of a computer is that staring at a screen for
long periods of time can be damaging to the eyes, and sitting for
hours at a time is certainly not healthy. Secondly. computers
distract from social interactions such as conversation. People can
be inclined to become anti-social, and stay at home to use their

computers is that the more jobs which are done by computers, the
fewer are done by people.

Many writers have called Fayoum "a paradise" or a "jewel" or "a
gift of the Nile". The oasis of Fayoum is surrounded by desert and
fed by water from the Nile. The result is a green place with rich
earth and there is even a lake called Birket Qarun. Fayoum covers
an area of 2.000 square kilometres and is only a 2 hour drive from
Cairo. It was formed about 70.000 years ago when water from
the Nile broke through the Lahun Gap and made a large lake.
The lake measures about 240 square kilometres. The deepest place
is 8 metres. Today the lake is salty, like the sea, and contains many
fish.
All kinds of fruit are grown in Fayoum - oranges, apples, apricots.
Many people go to Fayoum to hunt birds, just as the Pharaohs did.
Other people prefer to go and watch the birds through binoculars.
Fayoum is also the home of some of Egypt's famous pyramids and
temples.
The pyramid of Amenehat III was made of thousands of mud bricks
and was covered with limestone. Bricks and pots are still made
today in Fayoum. So if you want to relax and see old buildings, or
go fishing or escape from the noise of Cairo, then Fayoum is the
place to visit.

For most of us, the idea of soup, which stops us getting ill or crisps
which relax us, seems like something from a science-fiction film.
However, these are not foods of the future. In fact, they are part of a
new group of food products known as 'functional foods', and they
may already be on your supermarket's shelves.
In today's world, we all know that our diet affects our health and
more people are watching what they eat. Food companies are taking
advantage of this fact. They have already started to use ingredients
102
in their products which will offer extra health benefits to their
customers. For example, orange juice already contains vitamin C,
but now you can buy orange juice with added calcium to strengthen
your bones and teeth, so it is even better for you than ever before.
Of course, there are people who believe that functional foods are a
bad idea. They claim that products such as these can be dangerous,
as people may end up taking more vitamins than they need and may
damage their bodies as a result. Nevertheless, functional foods are
becoming increasingly popular, and supporters feel that it won't be
long before there are foods which prevent cancer, protect eyesight
and much more.

2. What are the advantages of functional foods?

5- ~ e a d the following passage, then answer the questions:
Many people think that the dinosaur is the biggest animal that ever
lived. They are wrong. The world's biggest animal is still living and
it lives in the sea. It is called the Blue Whale. Blue Whales can be
as long as 30 meters and weigh as much as 1.000 kilos. The largest
dinosaurs weighed only 500 kilos.
The Whale is not only the world's biggest animal, it is also one of
the cleverest. We know that whales can talk to each other, though
we do not know what they are saying. We do not yet know how to
"speak" to whales! One day, perhaps we shall learn to speak to
whales and then they will be able to tell us about themselves.
Whales are part of a family of animals called "cetaceans". These are
animals that live in the sea but unlike fish, do not lay eggs. They
have babies in the same way that cows and cats do, and give their
babies milk. There is a famous White Whale called Moby Dick. He
was in a story by The American writer, Herman Melville. In this
story, a sailor called Captain Ahab spends a lot of time trying to
find and kill Moby Dick. Sadly, there are not many kinds of whales
left. Men have killed them for thousands of years for food and other
things. However, there are now laws to stop people killing most
kinds of whales, so perhaps there will be more of them in the years
to come.

1. In what way are whales different from fish?
2. Why aren't there many whales left?
3. Do you think there will be more whales in the sea in the future?

6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
,It has become clear in the last decade that in Egypt, the tourism
iridustry has come to hold a position of great importance. It is felt
that it could help increase the national income and open chances
of work before youth.
In some European countries, tourism has brought in millions of
dollars yearly, although they lack the natural and historical
attraction we have in Egypt, the land of glorious past civilization.
We could, for instance, establish tourist villages for children on
the Red Sea. We could teach fishing, swimming, diving and
sailing there. Another good idea would be a village near the
pyramids or in the New Valley for horse riding, and what about
villages for people with health problems like rheumatism? The
warm dry climate of Aswan and Helwan would certainly help
them get better and this is called curative tourism.
Our tourist today wants efficient and friendly service. He would
probably prefer to try out samples of our local food than to the
international meals which are served in some places of
specialities. This would be more interesting than having the same
things he always eats in his country.
It must also be remembered that most tourists nowadays are
seldom rich.
Many of them are students or hardworking employees. So what is
needed is not expensive hotels but clean comfortable places to
sleep and eat in at reasonable prices. This, too, would encourage
Egyptians to travel more and more around their lovely county
having home tourism.
a. Answer the following questions:
1 - Why is tourism important?
2 - Why is Egypt supposed to have flourished and successful tourism?
3 - What is curative tourism?
h. Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4 - Home tourism means .............................. .
a- people travelling around their own country.
b- serving international meals in our restaurants.
c- establishing expensive hotels.
d- establishing new tourist villages at cheap prices.
5 - To attract more tourists, we should ................................................ .
a- try samples oflocal food.
b- serve international meals in our restaurants.

Ruth Becker was twelve years old in March 1912 when she
travelled from India to England with her little brother, R.ichard,
aged one, her sister, Marion, aged four, and their mother. They were
on their way home to the USA. After travelling by boat through the
Suez Canal and across the Mediterranean Sea, they arrived in
England. They planned to cross the Atlantic Ocean to the USA in a
famous new ship. the Titanic.
The Titanic was the biggest and most modern ship in the world, and
this was its first voyage. It was as long as three football fields and
eleven storeys high. The newspapers said the Titanic was like a
palace. They also said it could not sink.
When the Titanic left England, the weather was good. For the first
four days, the passengers enjoyed life on the ship. Then, on Sunday,
April 14, the weather turned cold. The nOlihem part of the Atlantic
is near the Arctic Circle, so there were icebergs in the water. At
11.40 p.m. a lookout saw a big iceberg 500 metres ahead. An
officer tried to tum the ship, but it was going too fast. and the
Titanic hit the iceberg.
At first, nobody was worried. Just after midnight, Ruth and her
mother woke up. There was a strange silence because the ship's
engines had stopped. Ruth's mother got up and spoke to a steward
outside her cabin. He said, "Don't won)'. It's only a small problem'.
She went back to bed, but sometime later a steward knocked on
their door and said. "Put your life jackets on and go up to the
lifeboat deck." Do we have time to dress? she asked. "No, Madam,
you have time for nothing. The ship is sinking", the steward said.

6- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
With the introduction of the Internet into our daily lives, we have
changed from a society of eight to two (that works from 8 am to 2
pm) into a twenty four-hour society. Everything in this lifestyle is
open all hours. You can buy your grocery at midnight, book your
holiday on the Internet at 3 am and do business online at dawn.
Before you join the 24-hour revolution, take a minute to listen to
what your body is trying to tell you. This "round the clock" lifestyle
is not what the Great Creator intended for us.
In an area of our brains, we have a "body clock" that controls our
body's natural rhythms. It tells us when it is the right time to eat,
sleep, work or play. It plays an important part in our physical and
psychological well-being. It is, in fact, what makes us control many
things including our hormones, temperatures, immune system and
activity. It regulates the tempo and brings in all the different
instruments on time to make music rather than noise. If we try to
ignore our body clocks, or even to switch them off for a while, we
not only deprive ourselves of much needed rest, but we also run the
risk of seriously damaging our health. Accordingly, we need to
have a daily routine.
a. Answer the following questions:
1- Which lifestyle does the writer prefer?
2 - Are you for or against the daily routine? Why?

5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
The people who live in the far north of Canada used to build their
homes out of large blocks of ice. Because these were hard and thick,
their houses were well insulated and so the people were warm and
comfortable. In the hotter climate of North Africa, the Bedouin made
their homes from animal skins. This made it easy for them to move
their home when looking for food. These are two examples of people
who adapt their homes to fit their lives. .
Birds do this, too. Some types of birds, which spend their lives in the
air looking for food, do not make new nests every year. but return to
the same nest again and again. And one particular type of bird does
not build a nest at all. but lays its eggs in the nest of another bird and
leaves these birds to look after its young.
3. Answer the following questions:
1. Why do homes which are made of ice stay warm?
2. What does the word "these" refer to in "Because these were hard and
thick"?

I never did cooking at school. I learned everything I know from my
mother. She decided to teach me because when she and my father got
married, she did not know how to cook even the simplest meals. This
was because her mother (my grandmother) had refused to let her in
the kitchen while she was cooking. This meant that she had to begin
cooking lessons at the age of 23.
So, when I was only five years old, my mother started. teaching me.
We began with simple things like eggs and soup, then we moved on to
chicken, meat and fish and finally bread and cakes. I particularly
loved making bread: when a new loaf comes out of the oven, it has a
fantastic smell. I am really glad my mother taught me to cook. If I
have a child, I will do the same for him or her.
