3)-Comprehension:
Read the following passage and answer the questions: (8m)
Dolphins have become a popular attraction at zoos in recent years. They are
more and more interesting than lions and tigers because they are livelier and
perform tricks like circus animals. But although they are more willing to cooperate
with the trainer than other mammals in captivity, they get bored if they were asked
to do the same trick twice. This is one reason for believing that they are very
intelligent.
Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of them
helping drowning sailors have been common since the Romans. We now have more
reliable evidence of their usefulness than sailor's tales. In South Africa, two
dolphins have been trained to help swimmers in difficulties and drive sharks away
from the beach. The more we learn about dolphins, the more we realized that they
are better organized and their society is more complex than people previously
imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are ill, care for pregnant
mothers and protect the weakest, as we do.
Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language system
which is similar to a bat's and which man cannot hear. It is much more probable that
they have an echo location. Could any of these mammals be more intelligent than
man? The questions cannot be answered. Our aims and interests are different from
dolphins. The more we discover about these remarkable creatures, the less we
appear superior to them.
Answer the following questions:
1- How are dolphins like circus animals?
2- What services could dolphins render to man?
3- What do you learn from the passage about dolphins' life?
4- What does the underlined word refer to ?
5- Most sharks are ....................
a) man's friends. b) man's enemy.
c) dolphins' friends. d) as friendly as dolphins.
6- Dolphins communicate with each other by using ..............
a) words similar to man's. b) sounds like other animals.
c) the language of birds. d) movements of the body.
7- Dolphins are ................
a) as intelligent as man b) more intelligent than man
c) more intelligent than other sea animals d) not intelligent at all.
8- In South Africa, two dolphins were trained so as to
a) drown swimmers. b) organize society.
c) give a hand to man in times of need d) tell tales to sailors.

When you think of teaching, you may think of assigning homework and giving grades, These
are things teachers do, but they are not really teaching. Teaching is the process of helping others gain
knowledge, giving instruction in skills and helping others to learn by proving experinces and
demonstration. People teach each other constantly: parents teach children, children teach parents and
friends teach friends. But people are called teachers only when their occupation is teaching. The
primary purpose of teaching is to help students learn what they need to know to live happily and
successfully. In order to achieve this goal, good teachers must first make their students realize that the
subject being taught is useful, interesting or important in some way.
Everyone wants to know. Good teachers point out to their students the ways learning can help them,
so they will learn and insist on going on learning. No one can teach someone who is unwilling to
learn.Teaching and learning depend on each other. Both teacher and students must be active
.participants in order for any teaching to take place

I think I've got a high level of motivation and people say I'm an ambitious
person. However, money isn't really an incentive. I don't want to work just for
money; it must be boring. No, I'd like to achieve something that needs talent, such as
writing a book. Many great writers have inspired me and they make me feel that I
could do something like that, too. My imagination was first awoken by the stories my
father used to tell me and I think if our parents stimulate our minds when we are
young then we'll want to do things later. But of course, interest isn't enough. To be
successful you need to persevere and keep on trying even when things don't go well.

An anecdote
The right attitude!
Walking home from school the other day, I started thinking about
all the homework I had to do. I must have had at least three hours work
ahead of me, and I wasn't looking forward to it. When I finally walked
through the front door, I had put myself into a very bad mood.
However, I found my grandmother sitting in our kitchen and I
soon brightened up. She had decided to make a surprise visit and we
quickly started chatting about family gossip. It wasn't long though
before I remembered my homework and, with a sad look on my face, I
explained that I had to go off to my bedroom to study. I stood up to
leave the kitchen like someone being sent to p[rison.
Before I could leave, my grandmother angrily called me back.
"What's all that about?" she asked. "You should change your attitude!
Homework is a chance to learn, not a punishment!"
She then told me all about her childhood. School had been out of
the question as she had had to work from dawn to dusk helping on the
family farm. Education had been just a dream. Leaving the kitchen, I
realized how hard life must have been69for my grandmother and how
lucky I was that I didn't have to out to work!

3)-Comprehension:
Read the following passage and answer the questions: (8m)
Dolphins have become a popular attraction at zoos in recent years. They are
more and more interesting than lions and tigers because they are livelier and
perform tricks like circus animals. But although they are more willing to
cooperate with the trainer than other mammals in captivity, they get bored if
they were asked to do the same trick twice. This is one reason for believing that
they are very intelligent.
Dolphins are regarded as the friendliest creatures in the sea and stories of
them helping drowning sailors have been common since the Romans. We now
have more reliable evidence of their usefulness than sailor's tales. In South
Africa, two dolphins have been trained to help swimmers in difficulties and
drive sharks away from the beach. The more we learn about dolphins, the more
we realized that they are better organized and their society is more complex
than people previously imagined. They look after other dolphins when they are
ill, care for pregnant mothers and protect the weakest, as we do.
Some scientists have suggested that dolphins have a language
system which is similar to a bat's and which man cannot hear. It is much more
probable that they have an echo location. Could any of these mammals be
more intelligent than man? The questions cannot be answered. Our aims and
interests are different from dolphins. The more we discover about these
remarkable creatures, the less we appear superior to them.
Answer the following questions:
1- How are dolphins like circus animals?

heard a loud noise. Whats that? she cried. It was an animal in the trees
above her head.
3- Pam walked to where Martin had gone into the jungle. She was hoping
to find his footprints. She looked at the ground, but she couldnt see
anything. I mustnt leave the car, she thought.
4- At the same time, Martin was trying hard to walk through the thick
jungle. He was beginning to feel afraid. Its getting very dark. I must get
back to Pam, he thought.
5- Then Martin looked down. There were footprints on the ground. He said
loudly, Great. Ill follow these footprints. Theyll take me to the road.
6- Martin began to run, but then he came to the pool where he had been
before. He was following his own footprints. Im completely lost, he
said. The sun had disappeared. It was night.

Amazing discoveries
I don't know how long I lay there, but I was awakened by a noise. It
sounded like thunder or waves crashing on the shore of a sea. Where did
it come from? I listened carefully. but heard no more. And then I heard a
noise that sounded like a human voice. I could make words. I thought I
heard my name and the word "lost". Was I imagining things? But no I
heard my name again. It was my uncle's voice. Uncle Lidenbrock!" I called
out. Seconds passed like years. Then I heard these words" " Axel! Axel! Is
it you?"
Yes, yes! I am in complete darkness." "Axel, my boy, be brave. listen to
me. We are in a big hall. All the passages lead into this hall. We can hear
each other because sound travels down the passage into the hall. Call to
me again and I will calculate how far apart we are." I called again and my
uncle replied when he heard me. It took twenty seconds for my voice to
reach my uncle. From this , he calculated that we were 6 kilometres apart.
" That's not so far," my uncle said cheerfully. "Walk down the passage
and we shall soon welcome you . It will not take long. On your way, my
boy!"
I was filled with hope now and I set off eagerly. But I was very tired. The
slope was very steep. I started to slide down the passage. I went faster
and faster. I could not stop. The ground disappeared beneath my feet. I
was falling down a well. My head hit a sharp rock and I lost consciousness
again.
When I awoke, I was lying against a rock. My uncle was watching me .
when I opened my eyes ,he gave a cry of joy. Hes alive! He's alive!" he
cried. "Yes," I answered, weakly. He held me in his arms. " My dear boy,"
he said , " thank God you are safe."
My uncle told me to sleep. I slept for a long time. When I awoke, I
wondered if I was still dreaming. There were no lamps, but there was light
coming from somewhere. And I could hear a noise like the one that I had
heard while I was lost. It was the sound of waves breaking on the shore of
a sea.
Where was the light coming from? What was that sound ? I wanted to
get up and explore, my uncle wanted to stop me, but I insisted on going.
At first I saw nothing. I closed my eyes. They were not used to the light.
When I opened them again , I was amazed. " The sea!" I cried. " Yes," said
my uncle. " I have named it the Lidenbrock Sea." A great stretch of water
lay before me. There was a beach of golden sand. There were waves
breaking on the beach. The light was strange. It was cold and white, unlike
sunlight and moonlight. There was a sky with white clouds. High above the
clouds there was a roof of rock. We were in a huge cave.

I walked with my uncle along the shore of this strange sea. There were
towers of sharp rock in the water. Along the shore there was a forest of
trees which looked like giant umbrellas. As we got closer , I saw that they
were giant mushrooms.
We saw other plants which were much taller than they were on the
surface on the earth. My uncle was excited. " It is magnificent!" he cried . "
Look and admire , Axel. You will never see anything like this again."
On the shore we also found the bones of animals which had long
disappeared from the earth. We wandered for hours along the shore of this
wonderful sea. We saw the tide rise and fall. Even here , the sea answers
the call of the moon.
My uncle told me he intended to cross the sea. When I asked him how
he intended to do this , he smiled. " Hans is making us a raft. Come and
see."
Hans had cut down some of the trees and tied them together to make
a raft. Tomorrow we would start to explore the Lidenbrock sea.

The wind blew our raft along quickly. By the end of the next day we had
left the coast far behind. We had travelled 145 kilometres on the
Lidenbrock sea.
Hans decided to try fishing. He tied a hook on to the end of a rope, put
some meat on it, and threw it into the sea. At first nothing happened.
Perhaps there was no life in these waters. But then Hans felt a tug on the
line. He pulled it in and landed a fish on the deck of our raft. It had a flat
head ,but no tail. The strangest thing was that it had no eyes. My uncle
examined it carefully. " This fish belongs to a family of fish which no longer
lives on Earth," he said." This fish is extinct."
I was very excited by this news. To think that we had caught a fish that
only existed as a fossil on Earth. I wondered what other wonderful
creatures we would meet on our voyage on this sea. We might see lizards
or whales or birds that lived on the earth millions of years ago! I started to
dream of these fantastic creatures.
It was wonderful to be out on the open sea. Our days in the darkness of
the rocks under Sneffels seemed far away. My uncle tried to find out how
deep the sea was. He tied a pickaxe to the end of a long rope and threw it
into the sea. It did not touch the bottom. But when we pulled it up, Hans
pointed to marks on the pickaxe." Teeth." he said. What terrible monster
had bitten into the iron of the pickaxe? We looked at each other in fear.
Night came again and I fell asleep. However ,I was awakened suddenly.
The raft had been lifted out of the water. A huge sea monster had thrown
us into the air. As we looked , we saw two other sea monsters. They were
coming towards us. Were they going to attack? I picked up my gun , but it
would be useless against these creatures. We could not escape. We were
terrified. Surely this was the end of our journey beneath the Earth. But the
sea monsters did not attack us. They attacked each other. They fought
fiercely. Huge waves threw our raft up and down. The fight lasted for two
or three hours. We watched in fear. Which monster would win this fight?
And would it then go on to attack us? We had no change of escaping.
Suddenly the two sea monsters disappeared beneath the sea. Then the
head of one of them appeared again. It twisted its long neck from left to
right. It looked as if it was in great pain. The waves rose higher and higher.
Gradually it moved more slowly. At last it stretched out on the surface of
the water. It was dead.
We continued our voyage. We were glad to escape the anger of the sea
monsters. For 2 days we sailed on. Then, on the 3rd day , we heard a
roaring noise. We saw a huge fountain of water rising from the sea. It was

stone. And that stone is somewhere near here. We must find it."
The three of us looked allover the rocks around us. At the foot of a cliff
we found the entrance to a dark tunnel. There we saw two letters carved
on the rock: A . S .
" A.S., " my uncle exclaimed. "Arne Saknussemm again!" All my doubts
about our journey disappeared. A great travellers had been here before
us. He had carved his initials in the rock to guide us on our was. And I was
holding his knife!
I forgot the dangers of our journey. I was not worried about how we
would return. Now I was filled with as much excitement as my uncle. I
turned to him. "Uncle, I think that something is guiding us on our journey,
"I said. " Let us enter this tunnel and continue to the centre of the Earth!"
We had only travelled a few metres ,when we came against a huge rock. It
blocked our path, so we could not continue. We looked to the left and to
the right of it , but there was no way past it.
" This rock must have fallen since Saknussemm was here," I said. "If we
cannot break it down, we do not deserve to reach the centre of the Earth!"
Hans and I tried to break the rock with pickaxes, but it was too hard.
Then I had an idea. "Gunpowder!" I exclaimed. Lets blow it up with
gunpowder!" Hans made a hole in the rock with his pickaxe. We packed
the hole with gunpowder. I made a long fuse out of cloth and laid it
against the gunpowder. By midnight everything was ready. I wanted to
light the fuse then, but my uncle refused.
" Tomorrow," he said. " We need to sleep now." The next day was the
most important day in our journey. I cannot write about it now without my
heart beating with fear. At six o'clock I was ready to light the fuse. There
would be a delay of ten minutes before the gunpowder exploded. I told my
uncle I was ready. I lit the fuse and returned to the raft. We counted the
time on my uncle's watch. Five seconds more," he said. " Four . Three.
Two one. Now!"
I don't think I heard the explosion .But the shape of the rocks changed
before my eyes. A huge hole opened and the sea became one big wave. It
lifted us and threw us forward. In less than a second we were in complete
darkness. The water carried us along at a frightening speed. An hour
passed- perhaps two. We held on to each other to prevent us being thrown
off the raft.
It was then that I found out that we had lost everything we owned. Our
tools and instruments and most of our food and water had been swept
away by the waves. All we had were some biscuits and a small piece of
meat. I decided not to tell my uncle of my discovery. In any case, there
was no point in worrying about food: we would probably be killed quite
soon!
We continued to go faster. It felt as if we were falling. But where were
we falling?

"Is this Iceland?" I asked. " No, Hans replied. He was right. The sun was
very hot and the ground was dry. Above our heads was the edge of the
crater. This is where the volcano had thrown us out. It was still erupting.
Every ten minutes stones were thrown out. The ground around us was
shaking. When I looked down the mountain , I could see tall green trees.
And little gardens. Below that I could see the blue waters of a sea or a
lake. There were small boats on the water. We seemed to be on an island.
In the distance I could see the shapes of other islands. It was all very
beautiful. " We must be in Asia," I exclaimed," on the coast of India or
Malaysia. We have travelled right across the world!"
After we had rested , we began to climbed down the mountain. We
descended carefully. After our adventures , we did not want to fall to our
deaths. Soon we came to fields full of fruit trees. We picked the fruit and
ate it. It tasted wonderful!
As we were eating, a small boy appeared. He watched us eating. He
looked frightened., but my uncle spoke to him. "What is the name of this
mountain, my boy? "he asked. The boy did not reply, so my uncle asked the
same question in different languages. At last , he asked in Italian.
"Stromboli," the boy said and ran away. Now we knew where we were we
were on a volcanic island off the south coast of Italy. We had been thrown
out of the famous volcano of Stromboli. The blue waters before us were
the waters of the Mediterranean sea.
What a wonderful journey we had made! We had entered the earth
through the extinct volcano of Sneffels and returned through the active
volcano of Stromboli. We had exchanged the cold of the North for the
warmth of the south.
We saw houses below us and we walked on towards the little town. In
an hour we reached the port of San Vicenzo. The people were kind to us.
They gave us food and drink. They gave us new clothes, because our old
clothes were no more than rags. We were all happy to have completed our
journey safely. Even Hans was smiling!
After resting at san Vicenzo for two days ,we took a boat to Messina,
then another ship to Marseilles, in the south of France. From there we took
a train through France and into Germany. On September 9th ,we finally
arrived in Hamburg.
The return of professor Lidenbrock caused great excitement in
Hamburg. Everyone had known of his plans to journey to the centre of the
Earth. Nobody had believed that it was possible. At first they still found it
hard to believe. But the fact that Hans was with us changed people's
139

minds and there was news from Iceland about our journey.
My uncle became a great man in Hamburg and shared a little in his
glory. All our friends welcomed us back. The city held a celebration for us
where the most important people in Hamburg made speeches in our
honour. My uncle told the story of our journey. After that ,he had to tell it
again many more times. People seemed to enjoy hearing it!
My uncle wrote about what we had seen. Other scientists argued with
him. They did not believe such things were possible. My uncle argued with
these scientists. He enjoyed himself very much. The only sorrow was that
Hans decided to return to Iceland. My uncle wanted him to stay with us in
Hamburg but he refused. He wanted to go home.
I was sad, too. I loved the big Icelander. He was so calm and sensible. We
shook hands for the last time on the ship that took him to Reykjavik. But I
will never forget him.

Egypt is a large country in the north east of Africa. Its capital is Cairo.
Most of Egypt is dry and rocky. But the Nile River, the longest river in the
world, runs through it. In the north of the Nile forms a delta before it flows
into the Mediterranean Sea. The delta has Egypts best farmland. A lot of
people live in Egypt because of the Nile and the water it brings. People
have lived there since ancient times. The ancient Egyptians built large
cities and many great monuments, including the pyramids of Giza. One of
Egypts great achievements was the building of the Aswan High Dam.
Egypt is considered a leader among the Arab countries. Many of the
greatest Arab writers and scientists are from there.
