C- Reading
5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
The village seems almost unchanged. A large area of green vegetation surrounds the villagerst 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- 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, 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. Divorce 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 all these things.
5. Chinese couples preferred 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.

When tourists have been very well treated, satisfied and pleased with their 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.

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, computers 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.

c. for a company at home d. alone in an office in a company

colleagues and bosses by means of…………………….

1-Teleworking reduces the companies' running costs. It is cheaper to train employees in computer skills and give them a personal computer to use at home.
2-Video phones enable teleworkers to see their work colleagues.
3-No, because I don't like working alone. It's boring.

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 those 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 these 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 b- uncaring c- hopeful d- hopeless
5. The underlined word “these” in the last paragraph refers to ……………….. .
a- steaks b- vegetable ingredients
c- scientists d- substance, taste and colour of meat.
1-Methods of cultivation are not sufficiently advanced in some areas and food is not fairly distributed to all those who need it.
2-It is going to be different in the future as there won't be much taste in it.
3-Scientists can solve the problem of our preference for meat.
4-d) hopeless 5-b) vegetable ingredients

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 pan’. 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 more 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 sailing 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 …………..…….
a- policeman b- romantic person c- story pirate d- writer
1-Children usually think of pirates as storybook characters.
2-It has become a serious problem because pirates attack and rob ships and kill people. Pirates are dangerous and wicked men.
3-In the past, pirates used swords and sailing ships. Now pirates use fast motorboats, machine guns and other weapons. Pirates in the past were caught and punished, but most modern pirates are never caught.
4-c) defend themselves. 5-c) story pirate

5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
The village seems almost unchanged. A large area of green vegetation surrounds the villagerst 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?

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, 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. Divorce 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 all these things.
5. Chinese couples preferred 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 all over the world.
When tourists have been very well treated, satisfied and pleased with their 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, computers 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.

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 those 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 these 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 b- uncaring c- hopeful d- hopeless
5. The underlined word “these” in the last paragraph refers to ……………….. .
a- steaks b- vegetable ingredients
c- scientists d- substance, taste and colour of meat.
1-Methods of cultivation are not sufficiently advanced in some areas and food is not fairly distributed to all those who need it.
2-It is going to be different in the future as there won't be much taste in it.
3-Scientists can solve the problem of our preference for meat.
4-d) hopeless 5-b) vegetable ingredients

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 pan’. 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 more 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 sailing 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 …………..…….
a- policeman b- romantic person c- story pirate d- writer
1-Children usually think of pirates as storybook characters.
2-It has become a serious problem because pirates attack and rob ships and kill people. Pirates are dangerous and wicked men.
3-In the past, pirates used swords and sailing ships. Now pirates use fast motorboats, machine guns and other weapons. Pirates in the past were caught and punished, but most modern pirates are never caught.
4-c) defend themselves. 5-c) story pirate
