Exercises 1-Read the follwing passage, then answer the quetions There are some amazing trees in the world. Some people think that a tree in Britain might be 4,000 years old. In Italy, a tree that might be the same age is famous for its size: its diameter is more than 18 metres. It is called The Tree of 100 Horses because it is believed that 100 soldiers on horses waited under the tree in a storm. However, no scientists have been able to prove the ages of these two trees. The oldest tree that scientists know the age of in Europe is more than 1,000 years old. The tree, which is in Greece, first grew in 941 CE. However, if you compared these with two trees in North America, they would seem quite young! Scientists used to think a tree called” Methuselah” was the world’s oldest tree. It is more than 4,800 years old. Then scientists found a nearby tree that is more than 5,000 years old! The location of these trees is a secret, and for a good reason: in 2012, a woman was arrested for burning down another tree which was 3,500 years old. These are probably the world’s oldest individual trees, but scientists believe that there are even older roots of trees. Sometimes individual trees might have died, but new trees have grown from their roots. For example, a small tree in Sweden has grown from roots which are believed to be nearly 1 0,000 years old. We know the age of most of these trees because scientists have calculated their age after extracting a piece of wood from the trunks. However, we also know that a tree in Asia is more than 2,300 years old because a text describes when it was planted. I wish I could see some of these trees: they are incredible. A) Choose the correct answer: 1- Where are the two oldest individual trees in the world? a- Greece b- Britain c- Sweden d- North America 2- Why was a woman arrested in 2012? a- She found one of the old trees. b- She destroyed an old tree. c- She told people where the old trees were. d- She burned all the old trees. 3- Why do you think that people believe that 100 soldiers on horses waited under the old Italian tree? a- It is a very tall tree. b- It took 100 horses to pull the tree down. c- Its branches are very wide. d- It looks like a lot of horses. 4- What does the writer thinks about trees? a- He wishes he could see more of them . b- They should be studied more. c- He is impressed by them. d- All of the above. 5- What does the underlined word these refer to? a- the world’s oldest trees b- soldiers c- the oldest trees in Europe d- soldiers on horses 6- What do you think the word trunk means? a- the main part of a tree b- a leaf c- the bark d- a tree’s rings B) Answer the following questions: 7- How do scientists calculate the age of trees? 8- When did the 1000 year-old tree in Greece first grow? 9- What makes the tree in Sweden different from the other trees in the text? 10- Do you think that we will find even older trees in the future? Why? Why not? 107
2-Read the follwing passage, then answer the quetions Monday 5th June I have always wished that I knew more about the moon, so I did a project about it at school. The moon orbits the earth every 27 .3 days, so that is about once a month. However, we only see one side of it. That is because it takes about the same time for the moon to spin once as it takes for the moon to orbit the earth. The side which we do not see is called “the dark side of the moon”. However, like the earth, both sides of the moon are illuminated by the sun at different times, so it is not dark all the time. We just can’t see it. Like the sun, the moon rises in the east and sets in the west. A full moon is when we see the moon as a circle. This occurs when the moon is on the opposite side of the earth to the sun. Scientists think that there is probably some water on the moon, but there are no clouds and there is no wind. The average tem- perature on the moon is 107 degrees centigrade in the day and 153 degrees centigrade at night. If the astronauts who visited the moon hadn’t worn spacesuits, they would have died. The moon is usually about 385,000 kilometres from earth, but its gravity makes our seas rise and fall twice a day. I wish I could visit the moon! It is not very big. The surface of the moon is about the same size as Africa. I would like to see Mons Huygens, the moon’s tallest mountain, which is half as high as Mount Everest. Gravity on the moon is only 17% as strong as it is on earth. That means you can jump really high there! A) Choose the correct answer: 1- What does the moon affect on earth? a- the size of mountains b- its gravity c- its weather d- the seas 2- Why is one side of the moon called “the dark side of the moon”? a- It is always dark there. b- It is never dark there. c- We can’t see it from earth. d- You can’t see it from a spaceship. 3- What do you think would be most dangerous about visiting the moon? a- the temperature b- the gravity c- the height of the mountains d- the fact that it is dark 4- What kind of text is this? a- a newspaper article b- a diary extract c- a novel d- a poem 5 What does the underlined word “That” refer to? a- the fact that you can jump b- the fact that the earth’s gravity is weak c- the fact that the moon’s gravity is weaker d- the fact that you are on the moon 6 What do you think “spacesuits” are? a- special clothes that astronauts wear b- special helmets c- special shoes d- special hats B) Answer the following questions: 7- What is the average temperature on the moon? 8- How long is the moon’s orbit around the Earth? 9- Do you think that people will go to the moon for a holiday one day? Why? Why not? 10- Why do you think that we know so much about the moon? 108
3-Read the follwing passage, then answer the quetions People have been writing about strange worlds and travelling to space for thousands of years. Parts of the famous Arabic story One Thousand and One Nights might be described as a kind of science fiction. But science really started to influence how we all lived in the nineteenth century. This was a time when many exciting new things were invented: steam trains, the telephone, electricity, photographs and much more. The writer Jules Verne (1828-1905- looked at nineteenth century technology and imagined how it could be improved to do amazing things. He wrote about people travel- ling to the centre of the earth, to the moon or deep under the sea. Many people consider Verne to be the first true science fiction writer. In 1895, the writer HG Wells (1866-1946- saw technology differently. He wrote about the possible dangers of technology. His books include The Time Machine, in which the hero travels into a dangerous and unpleasant future. Other writers also thought that technology could be bad. Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World (1931- is about a future in which people are produced in factories. But not all science fiction writers saw technology as bad. Authors such as Isaac Asimov (1920-1992- often wrote about a future in which science can solve all our problems. Science fiction has evolved with technology. In the 1960s, space was being explored for the first time. This gave science fiction writers ideas for what explorers might find in space: strange worlds and unexplained mysteries, such as in the novels of Arthur C. Clarke. More recently, many science fiction stories have been about robots. Could they become more intelligent than people? Should we use them or could they start to take over and rule the world? In science fiction, anything is possible. A) Choose the correct answer: 1- In his novels, Jules Verne wrote about technology ………. a- that could make life better b- that made life dangerous c- that people used at that time d- that could never exist 2- According to the article, what influenced science fiction writers in the 1960s? a- Arthur Clarke b- space travel c- unexplained mysteries d- robots 3- In what way was Isaac Asimov different to many science fiction writers? a- He was optimistic about science. b- He only wrote about space. c- He was pessimistic about science . d- He only wrote about robots. 4- In conclusion, the text says that in science fiction, ………. a- technology is good b- technology is bad c- anything might happen d- there are never any problems 5- What does the underlined word this refer to? a- changes in science fiction b- changes in technology c- the new year d- space exploration 6- What do you think the’ phrase take over means? a- become people b- steal things c- get control of d- hide B) Answer the following questions: 7- How did HG Wells describe technology in his book The Time Machine? 8- Who is the first true science fiction writer? 9- Why has science fiction changed over time? 10- Do you think that science fiction will always be popular? Why? Why not? 109
4-Read the follwing passage, then answer the quetions You might think that concrete is a modern material, but experts think that it might have been made first by the Egyptians about 5,000 years ago. They used a kind of concrete made of mud and grass to help build the Pyramids. Nearly three thousand years later, the Romans also made a type of concrete using volcanic stone. They used it to build many of their most famous landmarks, such as the Colosseum and the Pantheon, which are still standing today. The Pantheon still has the largest concrete dome in the world; it is 43 metres in diameter. The Romans added milk, fat or blood to make the concrete stronger. Today we use chemicals instead. However, Roman concrete was stronger than modern concrete, although it did not dry as quickly. It was not until 1824 that modern concrete was invented in England. It was made using local stones. Slowly, builders started to use the new material. The first concrete house was built in England in 1854, and the first concrete bridge was built in San Francis- co in 1889. In 1891, a whole road was made using concrete in Ohia, USA. You can still drive on it today. Concrete must be a great material to build with. It is not expensive to make and it is so strong that earthquakes do not usually damage it. It is now used to make everything from massive dams and skyscrapers to sculptures and kitchen worktops. The world’s tallest building, Burj Khalifa in Dubai, and the world’s longest tunnel, in Switzerland, are both mostly made from concrete. A downside to concrete is that it is not very good for the environment because you need a lot of heat to produce it. A) Choose the correct answer: 1- What is impressive about the Pantheon? a- It has the largest concrete dome in the world. b- It is built on a volcano. c- It is very tall. d- It is in Rome. 2- What did the Romans use in concrete to make it stronger? a- chemicals b- mud and grass c- things that came from animals d- sand 3- According to the article, what is a downside to using concrete? a- It is very expensive. b- It is hard to make. c- Making it is bad for the environment. d- It is very ugly. 4- Why do you think that concrete is used in so many structures today? a- It is a very old material. b- It is a very modern material. c- It is strong and easy to make. d- It is very beautiful. 5- What does the underlined word “it” refer to? a- Roman concrete b- today’s concrete c- all forms of concrete d- concrete used to build the Pyramids 6- What do you think the word volcanic means? a- very hard b- very strong c- from a volcano d- very old B) Answer the following questions: 7- Who invented concrete according to experts? 8- Where was the first concrete house built? 9- What was different about the types of concrete used in ancient Egypt, Rome and En- gland? 110
5-Read the follwing passage, then answer the quetions 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 A) Choose the correct answer: 1- Why is Azza impressed by Amal’s aunt? a- She has a university degree. b- She is learning to read. c- Her children have left home. d- She is studying for a degree. 2- What does Priscilla hope to achieve, as well as learning at school? a- She wants a new job. b- She wants pupils to inspire her. c- She wants to inspire children to learn. d- She wants to write a book. 3- Why do you think that Priscilla did not go to primary school when she was a child? a- There weren’t any primary schools. b- Her family could not pay for her education. c- She did not want to learn. d- She started working as a nurse. 4- What is the main idea of the text? a- It is never too late to learn. b- Old people should go to school. c- Old people must go to school. d- Nurses can get different jobs. 5- What do the underlined words “anyone else” refer to? a- any other people b- any aunts c- any d- any relatives 6 What do you think the word “remarkable” means? a- very old b- very kind very clever d- unusual in a way that is surprising B) Answer the following questions: 77- Why did Azza tell Amal about Priscilla Sitienei? 8- What does Priscilla Sitienei study at school? 9- Do you think that Priscilla will be able to use the skills she learns at school? Why? Why not? 111

Money There is no doubt that money has a lot of advantages and disadvantages. Let's shed light on the main aspects of this subject. Firstly, let's discuss its advantages for example; we need money to buy our daily needs, pay for the things we buy and help those who have financial problems. Also, we can make the best use of it in many peaceful purposes like building medical centres, public hos- pitals, and more schools. Secondly, let's discuss its disadvantages for example; it is the motive behind greed and hatred among people. In addition to that it leads to committing crimes and even wars among countries.

Advertisements There is no doubt that advertisements have a lot of merits and demerits. Let’s shed light on the main aspects of this subject. Firstly, let’s discuss its advantages for example; they attract a big number of customers to buy goods. Also, they help the manufacturers to advertise their goods. Moreover, they create competition among the different manufacturers which in turn as a good ef- fect on enhancing the quality of goods. In addition to that, they affect TV viewers greatly as they give them ideas about the products and its prices. Secondly, let’s discuss its disadvantages for example; some companies’ owners take advertise- ments as a way out from paying their taxes. Meanwhile, these advertisements give us a false picture about the taste of people and their culture. Above all they lead to raising the prices of the products as TV makes a lot of money from these advertisements. In brief, we sometimes buy a particular product because we think it is the best, but we usually think so because the advertisements say so. 4- About a general subject : عن موضوع عامabout •Selected introductions for a general subject : The person you admire most – one of the scientists •Every one of us should have an example to follow in our life. • As for me, I admire ……… most.
