C- Reading
5 Read the following passage, then answer the questions: (4 marks)
I cannot isolate myself from the current events that take place in my beloved country nearly every day. I feel proud when I watch on TV promising young people reflecting on an achievement of their own. Some have put plans to exploit the banks of the Nile in a way that will help economy and beautify them as well. Others speak about inventing cars that run on other fuels rather than petrol. Another group has formed an association with the aim of setting up small projects for poor families, and many good examples of the true Egyptian character that has overcome many challenges over the years showing its true mettle in hard times.
Such positive members deserve all respect and I invite every honourable person to follow in their steps. Everyone can help their country in their places. As a student, you should study well and seek knowledge everywhere so that you can benefit your country when you grow up. You can play a social role, too. You can form a small society to clean your area and spread awareness among people to keep it clean. You can plant trees on the sides of the roads and streams. You may help with teaching illiterate people to read and write. You can do many useful things, but never be one of those irresponsible figures who burn our dreams of progress and prosperity.
A) Answer the following questions:
1 – What has made the writer feel proud?
2 – How many examples of good planning does the writer give?
3 – Find in the text words which mean:
a) persons b) present
B) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
1 1– The Egyptians prove that they are great as they . . . . . . .
a) are irresponsible b) burn others’ properties
c) are capable of reaching their goals. d) c lean their areas.
2 – Students may help their country in . . . . . . . .
a) one way b) two ways c) three ways d) different ways.
6) Read the following passage, then answer the questions: (4 marks)
With the introduction of the Internet into our daily lives, we have changed from
a society of eight to two (that works from 8 am to 2 pm) into a twenty four-hour
society. Everything in this lifestyle is open all hours. You can buy your grocery at midnight, book your holiday on the Internet at 3 am and do business online at dawn.
Before you join the 24-hour revolution, listen to what your body is trying to tell you. This "round the clock" lifestyle is not what the Great Creator intended for us.
In an area of our brains, we have a "body clock" that controls our body's natural rhythms. It tells us when it is the right time to eat, sleep, work or play. It plays an important part in our physical and psychological well-being. It is, in fact, what makes us control many things including our hormones, temperatures, immune system and activity. If we try to ignore our body clocks, or even to switch them off for a while, we not only deprive ourselves of much needed rest, but we also run the risk of seriously damaging our health. Accordingly, we need to have a daily routine.
