3. READ THE FOLLOWING TEXTS AND ANSWER THE QUESTIONS

(1)

We all know that the Egyptians built amazing monuments, invented many things

and had a wonderful history in sports. Although they have been part of the Olympic

Games, they haven't won any medals since 1984.

During the last Olympic Games in Greece 2004, our athletes changed the picture.

They won five different medals. Those medals brought smile and happiness to the people

of Egypt. The Egyptians in thousands went out to welcome the winners at Cairo Airport.

They did it because they had something to be proud of. Winning a medal in the Olympics

is not that easy. It needs planning, money and much training. We should start working for

the next Olympics from now.

Answer the following questions:

What good things did the Egyptians do?

………………………………………………………………………………………………….

1. How did our athletes change the picture?

…………………………………………………………………………………………………..

2. Is it easy to win a medal in the Olympics? Why? Why not?

……………………………………………………………………………………………………

Choose the correct answer:

3. The underlined word "They" refers to (Egyptians-athletes-medals-games).

4. The Olympic games brought (love-money-luck-smile and happiness) to the people of

Egypt.

(2)

The ancient Egyptian year had three seasons. It's essential to remember that

calendars were very important in ancient Egypt. Farmers needed to know when to plant

crops. In addition, they needed to know when to know when the Nile was going to flood.

I want to emphasize how important food was at this time. Don't forget that many

people would starve if the crops did not grow. The Egyptians invented the calendar so that

they could plant their crops at the right time. The calendar had twelve months of thirty

days, which is 360 days a year. They also had five holidays.

The trees are the first living things that Hassan has seen in five days. The wind is

blowing and the leaves on the trees are trembling, like him. He is tired and weak.

A few hours before he arrived here, Hassan thought he was going to die. There was

no food in the desert and he knew that the little water he had would not last another day.

Now he knows that he will find water because if there are trees, there must be water

somewhere. But he still does not know where he is. How far is it to the nearest road,

where might he find help?

The sun is going down quickly and he knows it will be cold for the next eight hours.

How can he stay warm for another night in the desert? Suddenly, he sees something.

Someone is carrying a light towards him. He realizes that it is a man. Finally, help has

arrived and he is safe.


1. How does Hassan know that he will find water?

…………………………………………………………………………………………

2. Why did Hassan think that he will die?

………………………………………………………………………………………….

3. What does the wind do to the leaves of the trees?

Scientists have used robots for a long time. Some robots dive under water to study the

sea. Others are sent inside volcanoes to study places that are dangerous. In 2012, a robot

went to another planet to study the soil and gases there.

Personal robots are designed to help people with jobs at home. They include robot

vacuum cleaners to clean floors and lawn mowers to cut the grass in parks and gardens.

Now, an engineer has designed a robot that can recognize people. When you

speak, it will answer! It will hear your voice and turn its head to look at you. It will say hello

to you when you come home and it can read a story to children.
