1-Read the following passage then answer the next questions according to the passage:

Communication is a process of exchange data, information, ideas, thoughts, and emotions. It is a

process that involves a sender, a receiver, a message and a channel. The information passes through
different communication channels. There can be different types of communication. Based on
communication channels, it can be divided into two types: verbal communication and non-verbal
communication.
Verbal communication includes written and oral communication while non-verbal communication
includes body language like gesture, pasture, nodding and expressions. Oral communication includes
the spoken words. It can either be face-to-face or chatting with the people over the phone or over the
internet. Here, conversations might be influenced by the voice tone and the level, speed and clearness
of speaking. Written communication can be either by post, letter, fax, or email. The effectiveness of
this communication can be affected by the writing style, grammar and vocabulary used and clearness
and accuracy of language. In non verbal communication, the facial expressions are very important as
they show the mood of the person who is speaking. The gestures express the emotions like a
handshake, a smile or a hug.
Based on style and purpose, there are two types of communication; formal and informal.
Formal communication usually relates to a large or small group speaking. It is mostly strict and bound
to rules. All sort of business or corporate communication is formal. Conferences, meetings, written
memos and corporate letters are also formal. It can occur between two strangers when they meet for the
first time. This kind of communication should be straightforward and precise. Informal communication
is a type in which people talk to each other freely. It can be between friends, family and relatives. It
does not have any rigid rules and guidelines. It does not restrict with the time limit, place and events or
subjects. It is a more emotional form of communication with less emphasis on non-verbal
communication and more emphasis on real feelings.

Answer the following questions:

1. What are the two types of communication according to the channel?

a. Personal and interpersonal. b. Verbal and non-verbal.

2-Read the following passage then answer the next questions according to the passage:

Pollen is a plant's male DNA that is transported to the female part of the flower to enable the plant to
reproduce. Because pollen contains DNA, it can be used to change a plant's traits. Such changes can
increase harvest production or help a plant survive in a specific environment.
Pollen is used to manipulate plant traits. Cross-pollination is the process of fertilization between similar
plants to improve them. Creating plants resistant to pests or dehydration or increasing crop production
are a few changes made through cross-pollinating. Pollen can also be used by archeologists to
determine what ancient civilizations used for food.
Pollen can spread with the wind or through interaction with insects. The outer wall of the pollen grain
is strong to prevent damage during transport. The inner layer is similar to an ordinary plant cell.
Microscopic in size, pollen grains are not visible individually to the eye. Clumps of pollen can be seen
on insects that move from plant to plant. Only 10 percent of plants spread pollen without the help of
insects.

12
All flowering plants create pollen, including grasses, trees and shrubs. Grasses and trees are the most
common plants that spread pollen through the wind rather than with the help of insects.
Pollen is used in supplements to improve athletic performance or increase the strength of immune
systems. Pollen can also create a variety of allergic reactions in people. Pollen spread by insects rarely
gets into the nose to create any allergies.
But in recent years, there has been a big drop in the populations of pollinators worldwide. There are
several reasons. The use of pesticides has had the side effect of killing pollinators. Air pollution
prevents insects from smelling and finding flowers, which they need for food. Diseases are killing
many insects. Growing cities are destroying the environments where pollinators live.

Answer the following questions:

1. How do trees mostly spread pollen?
a. With the help of flowers. b. With the help of insects.
c. Through the wind. d. Through the water.

2. How does air pollution affect pollination?

a. Flowers can't make pollen.
b. Insects can't smell the flowers, so they can't find them.
c. Insects can't pollinate the flowers because they can't see them.
d. Pollution kills insects.

3. Which is the best title for the passage?

a. The Importance of Plants. b. The Disappearance of Flowers.
c. The Nature of Pollen. d. The Several Types of Pollen.

4. Why has the number of pollinators dropped?

a. Because of the use of modern techniques. b. Because of pollution and diseases.
c. Because there are no flowers nowadays. d. Because cities have become smaller.

5. Why are plants’ traits sometimes changed?

a. To make them look prettier. b. To help plants move everywhere.
c. To help insects eat plants. d. To increase plants’ production.

3- Read the following passage then answer the next questions according to the passage:

There are six fundamental human needs we need to meet to live our best lives. Man needs food and
water. The body needs calories and a variety of nutrients including protein, fat, and carbohydrates
everyday to grow, function, and repair. Without food, the body begins to atrophy. Water allows for the
processes of the body to occur. Without water the body cannot process food or remove wastes. Shelter
is necessary for humans. We require protection from blazing sun, freezing temperatures, wind, and
rain. Without shelter, human skin and organs are damaged from extreme temperatures. Sleep allows the
brain to process new knowledge and deal with emotional information. Without ample sleep we cannot
learn new things or get past emotional pain. Human touch is so important that when we are young, our
brains don’t develop correctly without it. Regular connection to others allows us to maintain a sense of
well-being that allows for self-care. Novelty is essential for us. It creates the opportunity to learn and
without it, motivation wanes and a healthy sense of well-being is lost.
These six needs, when met, allow for a person to develop the self-esteem, security, belonging,
actualization, and contentedness. Unfortunately, when people go for a long time without having all of
these needs met, it becomes difficult for them to begin to allow for these needs to be met. A person
who doesn't get enough sleep will insist that they can do without. A person who has grown up without
deep connection to others will insist that they prefer to live as a loner. Those who have deeply rutted
routines will resist change when it is offered to them.

Answer the following questions:

1. What do humans need to be protected from extreme temperatures?

a. They need novelty.
b. They need sleep.
c. They need shelter.
d. They need emotions.

2. “we need to meet” means ………………………………… .

a. we need to live without them.
b. we need to see them.
c. we have an appointment with them.
d. we need to satisfy them.

14
3. Which of the following is TRUE?
a. People resist change if they have grown up to have routines.
b. People resist change if they aren’t well-sheltered.
c. People with a lost well-being are motivated to live and succeed.
d. People need shelter to allow for the body processes to occur.

4. Self-care is the result of ………………………………….. .

a. a sense of well-being.
b. a sense of loneliness.
c. a sense of isolation.
d. disconnection from others.

5. Why does the body need water?

a. To get rid of waste.
b. To waste its organs.
c. To waste its cells.
d. To develop waste.

6. What does the underlined word “atrophy” mean?

a. become larger b. become stronger c. become general d. become weaker

7. Why do people growing up without connection to others insist that they prefer to live alone?
8. What is the result if people don’t sleep well?
9. What does the body need food for?
10. How do humans benefit when they meet all the six fundamental needs?

4-Read the following passage then answer the next questions according to the passage:

Most countries in the world now welcome tourists because of the money they bring in. Many countries
make great efforts to encourage tourism, and many also depend on what they earn from it to keep their
economies going.
People who like adventures will even try to visit countries. Companies regularly arrange trips through
the Sahara Desert, or to the Himalayan mountains for whoever enjoys such trips, but the numbers of
visitors are few. Most tourists try to choose whichever places have fairly comfortable, cheap hotels,
quite good food, reasonable safety, sunny weather and plenty of amusements or unusual things to see.
Their choice of a place for a holiday also depends on when they can get away, it is not very pleasant to
go to a place when it is having its worst weather.
One big problem for a nation wishing to attract tourists is the cost of building hotels for them. Building
big hotels swallows up a lot of money, and many of the countries that need tourists are poor. What they
spend on building has to be borrowed from foreign banks. Another problem is that more and more big

15
international companies are building hotels all over the world, so that the profits from these hotels
often do not stay in the country in which they have been built.

And there is also the question of training the hotels’ staff, teaching them foreign languages, how to
cook the kind of food that foreign tourists expect. In Egypt, special colleges and courses have been set
up for this. Tourists often feel shocked by the different customs and habits that they see around them.
They refuse the local food and insist on having only what they eat at home.

Answer the following questions:

1. Some tourists refuse the local food because ……………………………………… .

a. they insist on having it at home.
b. they insist on eating the kind of food they eat at home.
c. the local food is badly cooked.
d. the local food is cheap.

2. Some people don't go to a place for a holiday although they like it because it …………. .
a. is not very pleasant b. is fairly comfortable
c. has its worst weather d. has good hotels

3. Many countries encourage tourism for …………………………………….. .

a. its medical importance. b. its financial benefit.
c. its massive hazards. d. its ancient history.

4. How do countries get staff for their hotels?

a. They train people for that. b. They hire people from abroad.
c. They employ robots for that. d. They use computer programs for this.

5. The underlined word “their” refers to ………………………… .

a. tourists b. economies c. countries d. incomes

6. The word “fairly” can be replaced by the word “…………………..”

a. calm b. serious c. seriously d. quite

7. Why do you think tourists prefer places with reasonable safety?

8. Would you like to visit different countries? Why?
9. Which kind of weather do you think is the best for a tourist holiday? Why?
10. From your point of view, how can Egypt attract more tourists?
