C- Reading

5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Every second, 1 hectare of the world's rainforest is destroyed. That's
*****alent 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.

5- Read the following passage, then answer the 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.

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.

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 currently 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.

1. According to the passage, sport has two social effects on people, what are they?
2. In what way can sport be profitable?

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.

6- Read 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, Mao Zedong, 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

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 feel that their stay is enjoyable, comfortable and
without any troubles. Tourist police should stop any nuisance
committed that would spoil enjoyment and safety.

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 biggest 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 teleworkers, 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:

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
means ............. .
a- caring c- hopeful b- uncaring d- hopeless
5.word "these" in the last paragraph refers to
b- vegetable ingredients
d- substance, taste and colour of meat.
6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
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 mor~ 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.
A. Answer the following questions:
1. How do children usually think of pirates?
2. Why has piracy become a very serious problem?
3. Make a comparison between pirates in the past and modem pirates.
B. Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4. American sailing magazines advise readers to take weapons so as to ........ .
a- kill each other b- hunt animals
c- defend themselves d- kill captain
5. Captain Hook is a ............................. .

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
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

other with their sticks. One of the important rules of the sport is that
players cannot lift their sticks above their shoulders.

Switzerland last year. They had climbing lessons for six months
before they left and took ropes and other important equipment.

wind.
During the night, it became very cold and started to snow.
