Being a journalist is not an easy job. In fact there are many risks that a journalist has to take in order to succeed in covering certain events. The risks involve being threatened with death by people in authority or wealthy businessmen. Some journalists cover life-threatening events such forest fires, wars and hurricanes.
Editors of newspapers and magazines often go to extremes to provide their readers
with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been instructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on the president's palace in a new African republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence and then refused to publish it. The article began
“Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace”. The editor at once sent the journalist a fax instructing him find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.
The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He sent the journalist two more faxes, but received no reply. He sent yet another fax informing the journalist that if he did not reply soon he would be fired. When the journalist again failed to reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written. A week
later, the editor at last received a fax from the journalist. Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been sent to prison as well.

2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

The leap from secondary school to university is a huge one. Suddenly, you are no longer in familiar surroundings and are responsible for yourself. For some students that is a bit frightening, while for others it is reason for excitement. Having had to wear a silly school uniform for years, I was thrilled to get rid of it. There were rules at university, too. Basically, I had to attend most of my tutorials and hand in any assignments my tutors had set for me. You don’t have teachers running after you to correct homework. Lecturers give you knowledge that you somehow have to learn. You aren't taught; you are given knowledge from academics. Other than that, I was free to do as I wished it wasn't even compulsory to go to lectures. However, too much freedom and a lack of routine can lead to trouble. Several people I knew fell so far behind that they gave up and dropped out of university I was very nearly one of them. Students' life is liberating, but it also requires a measure of self-control and a strong determination to succeed. Finding that balance was one of the hardest things. I'd ever had to do. It was well worth it though because, in the end, I learnt how to talk care of myself and work towards a bright future.

To conclude, going to university isn’t an easy matter however you have to bear much responsibility. You have to be very self-motivated and an independent learner

B Reading Comprehension

2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

The human tongue is about 10 centimeters long. It is covered with taste buds. These are tiny nerve endings which enables us to taste our food. Babies are born with taste buds all over their mouths. These gradually disappear as they grow older, leaving only those on the tongue . An adult has about 1,000 taste.

We can taste our food when saliva, a liquid produced by the mouth, dissolves chemicals in the food and washes them over the taste buds. There are four basic tastes: sweet, sour, salt, and bitter. All the taste buds can detect different tastes best. Sweet tastes, such as sugar, are best detected by the taste buds at the tip of the tongue. Salt is detected by those at the front sides of the tongue. The taste buds along the edges at the back of the tongue are good at detecting sour tastes, such as lemon, and those on the back of the tongue detect bitter tastes such as coffee. There are no taste buds in the center of the tongue. The tongue is also used in speaking. Sounds are made in the vocal cords in the throat.

B Reading Comprehension

2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

Mankind has always been affected by his environment, nature, and his surroundings. Plants and trees, of course, have had the most significant influence on man throughout his history on this planet.

The oldest living things on Earth are trees. Some of California's sequoias have for four thousand years looked down on the changes in the landscape and the comings and goings of humans. They sprouted from tiny seeds about the time the Egyptian pyramids were being built. Today these giant patriarchs seem as remote and inaccessible as the rocks and mountain cliffs on which they grow, like cathedral columns holding up the sky. It is hard to imagine them playing any part in the lives of mere humans or being in any way affected by the creatures that pass at their feet.

Lesser trees, however, have played an intimate role in the lives of people since they first appeared on Earth. Trees fed the fires that warmed humans: they provided shelter, food and medicine and even clothing. They also shaped people's spiritual horizons. Trees expressed the grandeur and mystery of life, as they moved through the cycle of seasons, from life to death and back to life again. Trees were the largest living things around humans and they knew that some trees had been standing on the same spot in their parent's and grandparents' time, and would continue to stand long after they were gone. No wonder these trees became symbols of strength, fruitfulness, and everlasting life.

2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

  1. Charles Babbage, a professor of mathematics at Cambridge University, invented the first calculating machine in 1812, he could hardly have imagined the situation we find ourselves today. Nearly everything we do in the modern world is helped, or even controlled, by computers, the complicated descendants of his simple machine. Computers are being used more and more extensively in the world today, for the simple reason that they are far more efficient than human beings. They have much better memories and can store huge amounts of information, and they can do calculations in a fraction of the time taken by a human mathematician. No man alive can do 500,000 sums in one second, but an advanced computer can.

In fact, computers can do many of the things we do, but faster and better. They can pay wages, reserve seats on planes, control machines. Mr. Woods, a bank manager, discusses some of the ways in which computers control our cash. 'I think most of our customers realize that in modern banking we make extensive use of computers. They see that the codes on their cheques are printed in a special way so that they can be read by a computer.

Nurse Penny Atkins works in a large, modern hospital. ''We use computers a lot in medicine nowadays. For instance, at the hospital where I work we make patients' appointments through a computer, which saves a lot of time. So does keeping patients' records on a computer. It also saves space because you can get so much more information onto a piece of computer tape than a piece of paper. Another advantage is that anyone who wants information on a patient can get it quickly, or even at the same time as someone else. You just dial the computer. In the past a doctor might take a patient's records away to his room and keep them for weeks.

A- Choose the correct answer from a. b, c or d:

1- For what did Charles Babbage invent his machine?

a- for reserving appointments                 b- for doing sums

c- paying wages                                    d- for information on a patient
