5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Many people think that the dinosaur is the biggest animal that ever lived. They are wrong. The world’s biggest animal is still living and it lives in the sea. It is called the Blue Whale. Blue Whales can be as long as 30 meters and weigh as much as 1.000 kilos. The largest dinosaurs weighed only 500 kilos.
The Whale is not only the world’s biggest animal, it is also one of the cleverest. We know that whales can talk to each other, though we do not know what they are saying. We do not yet know how to “speak” to whales! One day, perhaps we shall learn to speak to whales and then they will be able to tell us about themselves. Whales are part of a family of animals called “cetaceans”. These are animals that live in the sea but unlike fish, do not lay eggs. They have babies in the same way that cows and cats do, and give their babies milk. There is a famous White Whale called Moby Dick. He was in a story by The American writer, Herman Melville. In this story, a sailor called Captain Ahab spends a lot of time trying to find and kill Moby Dick. Sadly, there are not many kinds of whales left. Men have killed them for thousands of years for food and other things. However, there are now laws to stop people killing most kinds of whales, so perhaps there will be more of them in the years to come.
a. Answer the following questions:
1. In what way are whales different from fish?
2. Why aren’t there many whales left’?
3. Do you think there will be more whales in the sea in the future? Justify?
b Choose the correct answer froni a, b, c, or d:
4. Thepassageis about
a- killing whales b- what whales eat c- the largest animals d- dangerous animals in the sea
5. The underlined word “themselves” in the second paragraph refers to
a- dinosaurs b- sailors c- whales d- people

5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Ruth Becker was twelve years old in March 1912 when she travelled from India to England with her little brother, Richard, aged one, her sister, Marion, aged four, and their mother. They were on their way home to the USA. After travelling by boat through the Suez Canal and across the Mediterranean Sea, they arrived in England. They planned to cross the Atlantic Ocean to the USA in a famous new ship, the Titanic. The Titanic was the biggest and most modern ship in the world, and this was its first voyage. It was as long as three football fields and eleven storeys high. The newspapers said the Titanic was like a palace. They also said it could not sink.
When the Titanic left England, the weather was good. For the first four days, the passengers enjoyed life on the ship. Then, on Sunday, April 14, the weather turned cold. The northern part of the Atlantic is near the Arctic Circle, so there were icebergs in the water. At 11.40 p.m. a lookout saw a big iceberg 500 metres ahead. An officer tried to turn the ship, but it was going too fast, and the Titanic hit the iceberg.
At first, nobody was worried. Just after midnight, Ruth and her mother woke up. There was a strange silence because the ship’s engines had stopped. Ruth’s mother got up and spoke to a steward outside her cabin. He said, “Don’t worry. It’s only a small problem’.
She went back to bed, but sometime later a steward knocked on their door and said, “Put your life jackets on and go up to the lifeboat deck.” Do we have time to dress? she asked. “No, Madam, you have time for nothing. The ship is sinking”, the steward said.

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, take a minute to 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. It regulates the tempo and brings in all the different instruments on time to make music rather than noise, 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.

1- Which lifestyle does the writer prefer?
2 - Are you for or against the daily routine? Why?

5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
The people who live in the far north of Canada used to build their homes out of large blocks of ice. Because these were hard and thick, their houses were well insulated and so the people were warm and comfortable. In the hotter climate of North Africa, the Bedouin made their homes from animal skins. This made it easy for them to move their home when looking for food. These are two examples of people who adapt their homes to fit their lives. Birds do this, too. Some types of birds, which spend their lives in the air looking for food, do not make new nests every year, but return to the same nest again and again. And one particular type of bird does not build a nest at all, but lays its eggs in the nest of another bird and leaves these birds to look after its young.

6 Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
I never did cooking at school. I learned everything I know from my mother. She decided to teach me because when she and my father got married, she did not know how to cook even the simplest meals. This was because her mother (my grandmother) had refused to let her in the kitchen while she was cooking. This meant that she had to begin cooking lessons at the age of 23. So, when I was only five years old, my mother started teaching nie. We began with simple things like eggs and soup, then we moved on to chicken, meat and fish and finally bread and cakes. I particularly loved making bread: when a new loaf comes out of the oven, it has a fantastic smell. I am really glad my mother taught me to cook. If I have a child, I will do the same for him or her.

Few years ago, personal computers, CD players, satellite dishes, and
microwaves were available but hardly commonplace. Most of us were only
thinking about them rather than buying them. Now, of course, if we don't have
them, there has to be a reason why. Nothing at first seems as so revolutionary
as the latest advance; and nothing becomes mundane so quickly. In the past,
latest advances have been coming at us faster than any time in history. The
latest advances in 1974 were the pocket calculator and the home freezer. And
these were the successes. At the same time, a diet made from processed Soya
beans was being sold as a coming thing. Banks and telecommunications
networks are working on new systems to replace old fashioned bills and coins
with smart cashcards. Now you can put or take your money from your account

and pull out the boy's arm. At the hospital, the surgeon spent 11hours re-attaching
Jesse's arm. The park guard said that Jesse was unlucky, "Evening is the shark's
