B Reading Comprehension

2. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

Have you ever thought about giving money to volunteers to reward them for what they have done? You might have thought of that once and of course the majority _if not all_ of them refused and even some of them got irritated because they think of volunteering in a different way.

What is a volunteer? What is the value of volunteering? Is volunteering about money? Should we measure it that way? Most people would say no. Volunteering is not about money. Volunteering is about giving, contributing, and helping other individuals and the community at large. It is working with others to make a meaningful contribution to a better community.

People volunteer for an endless variety of reasons. Many people want to gain experience, acquire new skills, meet new people, or expand their network of contacts as a way to get a new job or start a career. Others just want to give back to their community, to help a friend or promote a worthwhile activity. They do it because it makes them feel good. It gives them what is described by some volunteers as a "private smile."

This is the intrinsic value of volunteering. It is not about money. And volunteering should not be measured that way. To attempt to put a dollar figure on the value of volunteerism cheapens and undermines the basic concept. Volunteering is rich and diverse. It is thousands of volunteers in shelters for the homeless, giving aid to seniors, holding hands in a hospice or cleaning up a local stream bed, helping a neighbour shovel their walk, coming to the aid of a stranded motorist or helping an elderly person cross a busy street. These large and small acts, given freely, are what bind communities together. Volunteering is helping, not hiring; giving, not taking; contributing, not counting.

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

1. One of the social benefits people get out of volunteering is …………………….. .

a)earning a big amount of money.                b) meeting new people.

a) a sense of superiority                            b) a special kind of smile

c) thousands of dollars                            d) a sense of inferiority

3- Why is volunteering considered to be diverse?

a)It involves helping ill people.

b) It makes you help old people.

c)It provides shelter for the homeless.

One of the most popular literary figures in American literature is a woman who spent almost half of her long life in China, a country on a continent thousands of miles from the United States.

B Reading Comprehension

2. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

What is happening to our weather?

One weekend in May 2010, Nashville in the USA was expecting a few centimetres of rain. Two days later, 33 centimetres had fallen and eleven people had died in the resulting floods. There’s been a change in the weather. Extreme events like the Nashville flood – described by officials as a once-in-a-millennium occurrence – are more frequent than before. Also in 2010, 28 centimetres of rain fell on Rio de Janeiro in 24 hours, causing mud slides that buried hundreds of people. And record rains in Pakistan led to flooding that affected more than 20 million people. The following year, floods in Thailand left factories near Bangkok under water, creating a worldwide shortage of computer hard drives. Meanwhile, severe droughts have affected Australia, Russia and East Africa. Deadly heat waves have hit Europe, leaving 35,000 people dead in 2003. Financial losses from such events jumped 25 percent to an estimated $150 billion worldwide in 2011.
What’s going on? Are these extreme events signals of a dangerous, human-made change in the Earth’s climate? Or are we just going through a natural run of bad luck? The short answer is: probably both. On the one hand, the most important influences on weather events are natural cycles in the climate. Two of the most famous weather cycles, El Niño and La Niña, originate in the Pacific Ocean and can affect weather patterns worldwide. But something else is happening too: the Earth is steadily getting warmer, with significantly more moisture in the atmosphere. The long-term accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere is trapping heat and warming up the land, oceans and atmosphere. As the oceans warm up, they produce more water vapour and this, in turn, feeds big storms, such as hurricanes and typhoons.

And yet, there are ways of dealing with the effects of such extreme events. After 2003, French cities set up air-conditioned shelters for use in heat waves. In the 2006 heat wave, the death rate was two-thirds lower. ‘We know that warming of the Earth’s surface is putting more moisture into the atmosphere. We’ve measured it. The satellites see it,’ says climatologist Jay Gulledge. Another scientist, Michael Oppenheimer, agrees. We need to face up to that reality, he says, and do the things we know can save lives and money.

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

A Vocabulary and structure

2- Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
Have you ever noticed how busy the roads in Cairo are especially in the rush hours? Every year more and more cars are using them. These cars do a lot of harm. Not only do they disrupt the traffic but they also cause pollution. Almost every family has a car. Some families have more than one.No wonder you see many traffic jams all over the city. Perhaps the worst jams are at the city centre. These long lines of cars crawling into
Cairo waste time and money. Every day, precious time is wasted while you are waiting impatiently at the traffic lights. At last when you reach your destination, you have every right to feel kind of relief, but soon you face new troubles. There is no place to
park your car. In Cairo it is very hard to find parking spaces. It is a problem that causes us trouble by day and anxiety by night. To solve this problem more car-parks should be built just outside the city centre. Then the drivers can leave their cars and catch a bus to their offices. Another solution is to build multiple story garages. Wide, smooth, straight roads must be built now in place of the old, narrow roads. These roads must not pass through the city centre, bypass it, they must not be crossed by other roads. This can be achieved by fly-over bridges. It is heart-warming to see such roads being built now. Carts, tuk-tuks and cycles should not be allowed on such roads.
Let us hope that in the near future when people rush to work and then back home the roads will be as orderly as ever and traffic will flow without hindrance.

Answer the following questions:
A- Choose the correct answer:
1. Car-parks should be built………………………………… .
a. inside the city centre                            b. outside the city centre

2. It’s not surprising that there are traffic jams because………….. .
a. the traffic policemen are careless.                           b. most families own cars.
c. most people love crowdedness.                              d. the government allows this.
 

3. Which of the following does the passage suggest for new roads?
a. Producing more tuk-tuks.                               b. Producing more carts.
c. Building parks in city centres.                          d. Building fly-over bridges.

4. Traffic jams are usually at their worst when……………………….
a. roads are busy
b. cars are more and more
c. drivers are careless
d. people are rushing to work in the morning and then back in the afternoon

a. rush hours               b. cars                  c. roads                             d. years
6. What do you think the underlined word “crawling” means?
a. running well                                  b. moving slowly

c. breaking down                              d. emitting fumes
7. What problem do drivers face after reaching a destination insideCairo?
8. What two problems do cars cause?

2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Liverpool city council want to clear the city of fat pigeons. They say that people are feeding the birds, which makes them fat. The pigeons get bigger because their normal diet would consist of seeds and insects, not high-fat junk food they are eating in the city centre. The council want people to know that everyone who feeds the pigeons is responsible for the streets being so crowded with these birds. They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the city centre and into parks and open spaces.
Ten robotic birds have been brought into the city centre to scare the pigeons away and visitors are asked not to give the pigeons any food. The mechanical birds - known as 'robops' - will sit on the roofs of buildings. They can be moved around to different locations. They look like a peregrine falcon, which is a bird that kills pigeons.

2. Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

Many people who are looking to get a pet dog get a puppy. There are many reasons why people get puppies. After all, puppies are cute, friendly, and playful. But even though puppies make good pets, there are good reasons why you should consider getting an adult dog instead. When you get a puppy, you have to teach it how to behave. You have to make sure that the puppy is housebroken so that it does not go to the bathroom inside the house. You have to teach the puppy not to jump up on your guests or chew on your shoes. You have to train the puppy to walk on a leash. This is a lot of work.
On the other hand, when you get an adult dog, there is a good chance that it will already know how to do all of the previously mentioned things. Many adult dogs have already been housebroken. Many adult dogs will not jump on or chew things that you do not want them to jump on or chew. Many adult dogs will be able to walk on a leash without pulling you to the other side of the street. Puppies also have a lot of energy and want to play all of the time. This can be fun, but you might not want to play as much as your puppy does. Puppies will not always sleep through the night or let you relax as you watch television. On the other hand, most adult dogs will wait on you to play. What is more, they will sleep when you are sleeping and are happy to watch television on the couch right beside you. There is one last reason why you should get an adult dog instead of a puppy. When most people go to the pound to get a dog, they get a puppy. This means that many adult dogs spend a lot of time in the pound, and some never find good homes. So if you are looking to get a dog for a pet, you should think about getting an adult dog. They are good pets who need good homes.

B Reading Comprehension

2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Gold is a rare metal with a lovely glowing colour. It is easy to be shaped, and it is not affected by air or water. As gold is so soft, it can be beaten into very thin sheets and it can also be drawn out into very fine wires. Gold is, therefore, an excellent material for making beautiful objects such as jewellery. Moreover, the ancient Egyptians prized gold so much that they believed that gold belonged only to their kings, so they buried many precious jewellery in gold objects, their pharaohs' tombs and we can see many of them in the museums today. The Egyptians were very clever goldsmiths as they could beat gold into sheets. The gold which is used to make jewellery is usually mixed with other metals. This not only makes the gold jewellery cheaper, but also harder. Because it was scarce and therefore valuable, gold was formerly used as money. Many countries keep bars of gold in banks. They can change this gold into money by selling it to other countries. About two thirds of all the gold in the world is kept in this way. Gold is usually buried deep underground. It can also be found in rivers and seas, but it would cost far more money to be extracted than the gold is worth.
 

A- Choose the correct answer from a. b, c or d:
1. The word prized means…….

B Reading Comprehension

2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Dear Amal,
In your last email, you told me about your aunt. I am very impressed that she is going to get a degree in law now that her children have left home. You asked me if I knew anyone else who had studied when they were older. I don’t know anyone, but I heard about an amazing woman in a report on the radio. The report said that a woman had started primary school at the age of 90! The woman, whose name is Priscilla Sitienei, lives in a rural village in Kenya. When she was younger, she was not able to go to school. She worked for 65 years as a nurse. Although she was good at her job, she never learned to read or write. In 2003, the government of Kenya said that primary school would be free for everyone for the first time. Priscilla wanted to learn
to read and write and decided to go primary school with six of her great-great-grandchildren. She said that it was never too late to learn new skills and she wanted to inspire other adults to do the same. Now she is learning maths, English and PE. She wears the same blue and green uniform as her fellow pupils.
The head teacher of the school said that Priscilla was loved by every pupil and that they all wanted to learn and play with her. At break, she tells the other pupils about the customs that she grew up with. At the end of the report, Priscilla said that she wanted to tell the world’s children that with education, they could be whatever they wanted. She is certainly a remarkable woman!

It was Monday morning. Jane left home early that day because she was going to start work at an office in her city. She had never had a job before. There were a lot of people at the bus stop and she nearly took a taxi which was passing, but afterwards she was glad that she waited for the bus. The traffic was so dense that even if she had taken a taxi, she wouldn't have arrived much earlier. She was only a few minutes late. She arrived there at quarter to nine. She caught the lift up to the eighth floor and went along to the office where she had been interviewed by Mr Crump two weeks before. This was the man she was going to work for. She tapped on the door and waited, but there was no reply. Just then, she heard the sound of someone's voice from the next office. She opened the door and looked in. There was Mr Crump speaking to the people in the next office in an angry voice. Later, she found out what had happened. Apparently, Mr Crump came to his office in London as a rule at about nine-thirty as he lived a long way out in the country and came up by train every day. That morning, however, he caught an earlier train and when he arrived in the office, not a single person was working. They were all standing chatting and telling jokes.
