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.

4. Traffic jams are usually at their worst when……………………….

B Reading Comprehension:

2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

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.

They hope to encourage the birds to move away from the city centre and into parks and open spaces.

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) kings                   b) Gods                    c) ministers                         d) the ordinary people

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!
Best wishes,
Azza

B Reading Comprehension

2 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
People may be divided into two types: winners and losers. Because our families and friends have a great influence on us as we grow, we are born helpless and dependent on our environment. Winners are able to change their situation and become independent by being responsible for their own lies. They don’t blame others for their mistakes. They do their own thinking, they listen to others, evaluate what they say, and then they make up their minds. Although they may fail at times, yet they keep self-confidence. Winners overcome their bad experiences. They enjoy work, play, food and the world of nature .They freely enjoy themselves but they can postpone it if duty calls. Losers, on the other hand never learn to take responsibility for their own lives. There are many causes why people can become losers: disease, poor nutrition, cruelty, unhappy relationships and bad experiences. These can interfere with the normal progress towards becoming a winner. But whereas winners fight these situations, losers hang on to them, and use them as excuses. Losers usually feel anxious, unhappy and bored. They are afraid to try new things and often repeat their own mistakes again and again. Losers spend their lives waiting for something wonderful to happen to save them from their problems with their lives but never try to change. My advice is to try everything new , never miss the chance . If you fail try again and again , never stop or you will never achieve anything .
