11- It was 40
degrees below zero. The wind was blowing hard. A group of five men
pushed their way through the high snow. They were disappointed, when
they reached the top of the Alps. They found that others had reached it
before them. After fixing he British flag, they started their long
journey back.
The journey was slow, and the joy had gone
out of them. The sun hardly appeared. The snow was soft and snowstorms
often made it impossible to see the stones they had put to guide their
way back. Captain Scott, the head of the group, showed signs of weakness
and fell into a deep hole in the ice. The four men who were left
continued their journey. Day by day the men became more tired. The
following days were terrible. There was very little food left and even
body was desperate .
Captain Hil suffered from frozen feet that
made him walk slowly in great pain. One day he walked out in the snow
and never came back. He hoped that his death would help his friends to
continue the journey.

Four hundreds years ago, six ships, carrying 300 men started out to
sail round the world. No one believed it could be done. They started
from Spain. The captain who led the sailors was called Sindbad.

The ships were old and in a bad state. The six ships began the journey
in clear weather. Many heavy storms came and the cold winter set in. Now
many sailors turned against Sindbad. They wanted to go home. But
Sindbad knew how to deal with them. Some were put in locked rooms;
others were taken to shore; one was killed. When it turned warm, the
ships started to sail again. One of the ships was lost in a great storm.
Now Sindbad was sailing where no ships have ever been there. For months
and months they sailed. It seemed that the sea had no end. Food and
water ran out. The men became so weak that they could hardly stand. Many
were sick; some died.
Later , they sighted islands. There they
found food and water. On one of the islands they had war with the
natives. Sindbad was killed, but some of his men got back to the ships.

Mrs. Hill reached the Central Railway Station in Cairo. Her leg was
troubling her badly. So she sat down there with satisfaction. By her
side she placed the stick which she had to use when walking. She never
believed that sitting there would improve her health; but Dr. Magdi had
said that she must be out of her flat in the open air every day.
However, sitting in the railway station cost her nothing. She looked
down at her old shoes and thought of herself as an old, poor and useless
woman.
Suddenly, two policemen sat down in front of her. One
of them took a photograph from his pocket. Mrs. Hill could see that it
was the photograph of a young man. A train moved slowly into the station
and stopped. Mrs. Hill could recognize the young man whom she saw in
the picture coming down the train. When he saw the policemen, the young
man jumped backward and started to run away. As the thief passed by Mrs.
Hill's seat, she threw her stick towards him. By chance, it went
directly between his legs and he fell down. The police officer thanked
the old woman and offered her a reward of one thousand pounds.

The sun was high in the sky and the rays shone directly on a bare piece
of ground in the forest. In the centre of this bare spot there was
something that looked like a large stone; it was a tiger.
The tiger
lay quite still. It was no longer able to attack the deer that were so
easy to kill when he was young. They moved too quickly for him now. In
order that he might live, it found himself forced to hunt the weakest
animal of all, namely man. In other words, the tiger became a man-eater.
It would wait impatiently near the stream until some unfortunate woman
came near enough for it. When the men of the village
arrived at the scene of the killing, the tiger was far away.

People began to talk about it. Some of them made efforts to find it,
but in vain. The tiger's habit of never going to the same place where it
had once killed made it very difficult to know where it was. Tricks of
all kinds were tried. Traps were cleverly laid but the tiger escaped
them all.
One morning the people of the village were surprised.
They found the tiger lying dead near the lake The villagers discovered
that the old tiger had a fight at night with a big buffalo.
A} Answer the following questions :
1- What did the old tiger hunt?
2- Why was it difficult for the villagers to kill the tiger?
3- How was the old tiger killed at last ?

With the development of modern civilization , life has become more and
more complicated. As a result, the car, which was considered a luxury,
is now looked upon as a necessity. Doctors, engineers and businessmen
can not work without private cars. Moreover, the rapid growth of
population in capitals and main cities
has actually made the joy of
possessing a car much less. Besides the problems of keeping a car in
good condition and the lack of garages, there is the big problem of
crowded streets.
Most people insist on having a private car to avoid the long wait at a bus stop. To
get
on or off the bus is a hard struggle. Going to places by taxi does not
solve the problem as taxi drivers take passengers according to rules
they themselves set. They sometimes ask for more money than they
deserve.
Cars could be a source of trouble. Many people had to
leave their cars in the streets because garages are expensive and
crowded. This exposes them to decay or robbery. In rush hours streets
are so blocked that it takes a driver a long time to get to his
destination.
A} Answer the following questions :
1- Why has modern life become more complicated ?
2- When are cars, according to the writer, exposed to robbery ?
3- Give a suitable title for the passage
B}Choose the correct answer:
4- Taking a public bus is a problem because ……………..
a) it is expensive b) getting on and off the bus is difficult

let him go because they believed he was still young and there were many
dangers at sea. Robinson Crusoe was tired of waiting and decided to run
away with his friends on a big ship. One afternoon high waves crashed
on the ship. Robinson remembered all the dangers his parents had talked
about. Suddenly a big wave came up and pulled Robinson off the ship and
into the water. He swam on and on until he came to an island.

was there. He knew that he had to stay on the island alone. He cut down
some trees so as to make a house to protect himself against wild
animals.

ragged. He made some new clothes from goat skins. After that he made an
umbrella to keep the rain and the sun off him. Now Robinson had been on

Superstition is a belief, which is not based on reason or fact, but on
associations of ideas, as in magic. Some people believe in one or two
superstitions . For instance, many people believe that misfortune will
happen if the water in which eggs have been boiled touch your hand. A
potato carried in your pocket will ward you off rheumatism .For the
prevention of toothache, some people believe that the sufferer should
drive a nail into a big tree.
Others believe that putting on the
left stocking before the right causes bad luck. Opening an umbrella
inside the house will make you miserable all day. Horror of number 13 is
a popular superstition. Some hotels, in fact, knowing the fear of this
unlucky number, exclude this number from all rooms. Crossed knives on a
table mean a quarrel. Some people believe that a broken mirror foretells
a death in the family. In England, throughout the Middle Ages,
horseshoes were nailed on the doors. This
keeps away evil spirits. The Japanese nail a piece of wood from a certain tree on
their walls to keep off thieves.

It is a disturbing fact that many different wild animals throughout the
world are in danger. The reasons for this are many and varied, but we
must blame pollution , pesticides , the disturbance of the animal's
natural environment and man's greed.
Industry has grown
enormously, and it has become common practice for factories to dispose
of waste matter in streams, canals and rivers, causing great loss of
river life. Modern agricultural methods include using pesticides, which
effectively control insects classified as pests, but which also destroy
many that are not. An increase in population has meant more buildings,
more vehicles, more pollution... and with it
the destruction of much
of the countryside that provide shelters for wild animals. To satisfy
man's selfish desires the polar bear in North America is under threat
hunted by sportsmen, whales are killed worldwide for the oil and food
they yield. These are only a few of the species under threat.

But the problem is receiving worldwide recognition, and some action is
being taken. For example pollution in the River Thames has been greatly
reduced; trading in some furs has been forbidden; and organizations like
"friends of the Earth" do valuable work in this deserving cause.
A} Answer the following questions :
1- Why are many wild animals facing danger nowadays? Give three reasons
2- Why are many whales hunted throughout the world?
3- What does the organization "Friends of the Earth" work on?

B}Choose the correct answer:
4- It has become common practice for factories to dispose their waste in
streams and rivers. This means that factories ………………………...
a- deliver their waste to streams, canals and rivers
b- get over their waste in streams, canals and rivers
c- get rid of their waste in streams , canals and rivers
d- store their waste in streams and rivers
5- The underlined word "many" refers to...................
a- pesticides b-pests only
c- agricultural methods d- insects other than pests

Usually a person who keeps putting his hand on one of his pockets as if
to make sure that something valuable is still there, attracts a thief s
attention.
A friend of mine once had an amusing experience on
a bus. He rarely travels by bus because he has been driving his car for
many years. But it so happened that his car broke down near his home.
He was going to Omar Afandi to buy a television after he had taken out
of the bank two thousand pounds that would cover the price of the set.
He put the money in an envelope in one of his pockets and got on a bus.
He met an old friend on the bus and had a conversation with him.
Unconsciously, every now and then he put his hand on his pocket to make
sure that the envelope was still there. But suddenly he felt it had
gone.
He looked at- the faces of the people around him but
could not know which one was the thief. He did not lose his nerve and
with a smile he said to his friend. " A foolish thief has taken from my
pocket the envelope which is full of newspaper cuttings about a subject I
am going to write an article about for my paper. I think the fool
thought it was full of money." Every body heard what he said. My friend
looked down and saw his envelope under the feet of the passengers.
He
picked it up. As he was anxious to count the money in it, he left the
bus at the next stop. He was happy to find the two thousand pounds still
in the envelope.

27- A clever person used to mean a person who would exert efforts to achieve a
legitimate aim. Hence, a clever pupil is a bright one who makes the best of his
educational chances. A clever lawyer is one who handles the law so as to prove
that
his client is in the right. A clever doctor gives the right diagnosis
for his patients and prescribes the right medicine for them. This is
perfectly feasible in a simple society, which will allow a good number
of people to do their best to succeed in their pursuits or better their
life conditions.
But in a society that has grown in complexity
so that only the fittest can survive the term has taken a new meaning.
If two persons have one chance, the cleverer of them
is the one who can push the other out of the way to secure the chance for himself.

Worse still a clever person might twist it wrong to make it look right.
A clever lawyer in the sense of the word is he who manages to prove the

History is the past experience of mankind. More exactly, history is the
memory of the past experience as it has been preserved, largely in
written records. The subject matter of history is the significant past,
meaning the institutions an individual action that affect the experience
and development of whole communities.
Traditionally, history has
focused on the actions of governments, their leaders , and the conflicts
among them - in other words political and diplomatic history. In the
last hundred years the scope of historical interest has broadened to
include the history of ideas and the patterns and trends in economic and
social life that characterize or influence society as a whole.

The study of history has been regarded either as a branch of the
humanities or as a social science. Actually, in method as well as in
subject matter, history belongs to both of these branches of learning.
As a social science history deals with all the various fields of human
experience that are treated separately in political science,
sociology, anthropology, and economics.

History is a subject to the standard of social science as an attempt to
establish objective truth about man and society; at the same time the
historian's work of synthesis and interpretation requires some
imagination which makes it nearer to the arts. The historical narrative
is a form of literature. Furthermore, much of the content of historical
study has to do with man's humanistic experience in intellectual and
cultural spheres. History is sub-divided geographically by countries,
and the subjects it deals with are also divided into the political,
diplomatic, economic and cultural aspects of human experience. Biography
is a branch of history that focuses on the life of great historical
figures. Histories of religion, science, philosophy... are all types of
historical studies.
A} Answer the following questions :
1- How has the study of history developed?
2- " History is a multi- sided discipline" Explain with reference to the text.
3- Find words in the passage which mean : a) important b) the story of a person's life
B}Choose the correct answer:
4 - History is the study of……………...
a) personal events b) social science
c) the great past experiences of mankind d) diplomacy
5 - " The historical narrative is a form of literature" means that…………….
a) it is unreal b) the historian is not objective
c) the historian analyses and interprets events with imagination
d) the historian merely copies events.

29- You don't need to look back twenty years to realize the
Tremendous developments in science and technology and how these advances
are changing the lifestyle of millions of people all over the world
.Although the T.V and video were there in those days ,no one had heard
then of those wonderful remote control units that turn the equipment on
and off helping us to choose our entertainment with the least physical
effort.
There are many other effects of technology that made our
life more comfortable . You no longer worry about washing the dishes;
your dishwashing machine can take care of that. If you want a hot meal,
you just pop your favourite food into the microwave oven and it is ready
in minutes. If you need to send an urgent message, just write it down
and send it through your fax machine. Passenger planes fly nonstop to
different parts of the world and their pilots can find time to relax as
the computers do most of the hard work for them. This all leaves people
more time to enjoy themselves and it also explains the remarkable
current progress in the leisure industry.
Leisure today is big
business . Just read the advertisement In your newspaper. You just won't
believe the variety; you will find something to fit all incomes and
tastes. As robots take over the work of people in industry, as
communications across the world became faster., and while technology
continues to create ways of persuading us to work less and enjoy
ourselves more, so the leisure industry will play a far more important
role in the lives of us all.

30- Dr.
Christina, from a medical school in Brazil, is visiting the Middleton
Medical School to give a talk on new medicines. She is one of a team of
doctors and pharmacists who work in the Amazon Forest. They work to find
out about the methods which local people use to treat diseases. Local
people use medicines, which come from plants and the team wants to learn
about these plants and study them to find the active component. Then
they plan to experiment with them.
Plant medicines were used
for treating illness very long ago, and they are still common in many
parts of the world. These plant medicines are safer and cheaper than
scientific medicines, and they work just as well for many diseases.

However, many people still use scientific medicines. Dr. Christina says
that we are too dependent on scientific medicines, which can be
dangerous and make people ill. Some diseases have become resistant to
them. If the medicines stop killing bacteria and viruses, then they are
more dangerous than useful. Many doctors do not recommend plant
medicines but this is because they do not understand them. Dr. Christina
says, "We are learning about forest plants so that we can teach city
people to use them." She thinks we should use plant medicines for most
of our illnesses, and keep scientific medicines for treating dangerous
diseases.
A} Answer the following questions :
1- What did Dr. Christina do at the Amazon Forest ?
2- When can scientific medicines be dangerous ?
3- What does the underlined word them refer to ?

- A Japanese journalist wrote a report about why she and
milllions of other Japanese have become lovers of running. "Eleven years
ago when I started running, most runners were middle - aged men and
high school athletes. Today I see young girls, old men and others of
every age. We, also, have today thousands of running clubs and hundreds
of special running boutiques. Running suits are also offered now by top
fashion designers.
The Japanese have looked at sports as good
for both the mind and the body. And in recent years there has been an
increased interest in physical fitness. In addition, facilities for
most sports, such as golf and tennis are extremely limited and often
very expensive. But running can be done almost anywhere and you do not
have to spend a lot of money to do it.
Running can also be a
part of daily routine, and help the individual to live a more orderly
life. Most of us today live rather sedentary lives because we usually
work sitting down, using our brains instead of our bodies. Daily we find
ourselves under increasing mental and psychological pressure from our
jobs. So running can be looked at as a medicine. While a person is
running he has time to be alone with his
thoughts.
I think
more and more people are becoming runners because they have realized
that if they want a full and affluent life, they must be healthy, too.
Running is the quickest and easiest way to achieve this balance,"
A} Answer the following questions :

You have got something that is more complicated than the most powerful
computer in the world. With this thing you can experience the sight and
smell of a flower, the memory of a holiday, the pain when you hit your
thumb with a hammer, the sound of your favourite singer, your thoughts
and ideas. All these are possible because of a kilo of cells in your
skull: the brain.
Your brain controls everything you do. It
receives information from your senses about conditions inside your body
and outside it. Your brain analyses this information with amazing speed
and sends out messages that control your body. For example, when you put
your hand in very hot water, you think "Oh! That hurts!" and you remove
your hand from the water. This is what happens in your brain. Your hand
sends a message to your brain: "Very hot" and your brain immediately
sends a message to
your hand: "Take your hand out of the water".

Try this experiment. Close your eyes, hold your nose and taste a piece
of watermelon, a mango and an orange. Could you taste the difference?
You probably couldn't because your brain has fewer messages and so, your
sense of taste will not work properly.
Your brain also stores memories of things that happened to you in the past and
this
makes learning and remembering possible. Finally, your brain controls
your lungs, heartbeat, body temperature and the actions of your stomach.
A} Answer the following questions :
1- How heavy is your brain?
2- What makes you feel pain?
3- Where does your brain get its information?
B}Choose the correct answer:
4- Your brain usually analyses information from the senses....
a- quite carelessly c- rather slowly b- very quickly d- fairly regularly
5- To have a proper taste, the brain needs messages from the....
a- tongue and the nose b- mouth and the eyes
c- eyes, feelings and the mouth d- eyes, the nose and the tongue

The neighbours closest to my house are my favourite people. The man is a
retired army officer and his wife is still working for the nearby
university. They are very hospitable and usually invite friends to
lunch. It is particularly enjoyable to wake up on a Friday morning to
the sounds Of their music playing which are really quite artistic.
However, I also love to hear them laughing when they make a mistake in
their music playing. Besides music, carpentry is still the man's main
interest, and most days he practices his hobby in his work space in the
garden, making an artistic piece of furniture.
My neighbours
are ideal to live next door to, because they can be very helpful if I
need them. I respect them as they never interfere in my private life and
I behave with them in the same way. We have helped each other with
numerous emergencies such as fire and car accident. We also co-operate
with each other in little ways such as bringing in the mail, when one of
us is away. We sometimes meet when they invite me
over to coffee,
with some of their friends who are usually very interesting people;
poets, painters, professors and other lively persons whom I enjoy
meeting. Sometimes we go out together to share some special occasions
such as the 6th October, when we watch the fireworks display. Apart
from this, we simply live next door to each other peacefully, side by
side.

34- One year an agricultural expert visited a poor village in India. His purpose
was
to improve agriculture and food production in the village. The village
relied for food on the two crops of rice and vegetables it grew each
year. The villagers worked very hard during the planting and harvesting

quantity.

it, it produced double the quantity. When the expert returned after me
first crop, he was pleased to see the villagers so happy. The expert
returned later to see if me second crop had been equally good. This time
he found the fields empty. The villagers were sitting around playing
cards and taking the life easy.
When he asked me head of me
village about the second crop, he replied, "We didn't need to plant a
second crop because we had enough rice after the first crop. So we are
relaxing and enjoying ourselves". The expert realized it was useless to

8- The sinking of the great passenger ship 'Titanic' seventy years ago is nearly forgotten. A small number of passengers was actually saved, those who are still alive today can be counted on the fingers of one hand.
Then you will easily understand why I have been asked to write about that sad story. The Titanic, the largest ship in the world, was thought by many people at that time to be unsinkable. Yet when it hit an iceberg in thick fog in the North Atlantic Ocean, it actually disappeared in less than twenty minutes, taking nearly fifteen hundred people to the bottom.
My own life was saved by my youth. Being only a boy of fourteen, I was one of those lucky women and children who were allowed to get away first from the sinking ship.

9 - Hand-signs and gestures were used long before men learned to speak in words. In fact, words are not man's only means of communicating with each other. Red Indians, for example, once spoke different languages but has a common sign language. The sight of smoke and the sound of drums are means of sending different messages. These are common sign languages without words.
Today , people who are deaf or mute make even greater use of sign language. Though they may never be able to speak or hear they can understand each other by gestures or hand signals. Signs are as good as words. In African jungles, drum messages warn people against dangers. In Canary Islands a whistling language passes messages among sailing boats. In cities, of course, traffic lights; red, yellow and green control vehicles and people. They give to them different instructions without words.
Shaking hands and bowing show that we are friendly to each other. Gestures which mean Yes or No are most interesting. In some countries people show no by shaking their heads from side to side. This happens in Egypt, but in Lebanon people lift their heads up and back, so that their chins move forward.

10- Pluto is a nice little dog, which we have had for almost five years. He has soft and white hair, which is so smooth that everyone of the family enjoys moving his hand on him. Pluto is now convinced that he is actually a member of the family, and so has equal rights. It is his rights that Pluto insists on but duties he has none.
One day we were expecting some guests for dinner. Mother woke up early to prepare food before the guests arrived. Pluto followed her and started barking asking for some food. Mother dismissed him from the kitchen, closed the door and carried on her cooking in peace.
The guests arrived; took their seats around the table and started eating. All of a sudden Pluto jumped in front of one of the lady guests. She was so frightened that she screamed loudly. In spite of Pluto's strong resistance , my sister took him away. He kept shouting when he was locked up in a room. Finally, my mother gave him something to eat.
