The first line on the Metro was opened on July 19, 1900. The system grew quickly, but
stopped in 1914, at the beginning of the First World War. By the early 1920s, the central part of

Controlling Floods
In many countries, rivers that cause floods
have to be controlled. There are many ways of
doing this, including buildings walls along the sides
of rivers so that they do no flood even when the
water level rises. In some places lakes are created
next to rivers so that, when the level rises, the water
runs into the lakes instead of into the streets of town
or cities. In other places, dams have been built to
stop rivers flooding. The Aswan dams are a good
example of this.
In London, that British capital, many
areas are below the level of the river Thames, which means that
the city has to be protected from possible floods. To do this, a huge metal wall called the
Thames Barrier was built across the river. Usually this stays open so boats can pass up the
Thames to London or down the river to the sea. If the water in the river rises to a dangerous
level, however, the wall can be raised. Between 1982, when it was finished, and 2009, the
Thames Barrier was raised over 100 times. Venice in Italy has the same control system.
We usually think of floods as bad and there are many examples of floods which have
destroyed towns, cities and farm land. But floods can also benefit people. In the past, for
example, river Nile floods made agricultural land more fertile for farmers.

Adel : So, Hamid, can you go right to the top?


Hamid: Yes, its open to the public from nine oclock in the morning until one oclock at
night. My parents went last week and they said the view was fantastic. They
said they could see right across the city, and the river looked beautiful at night,
especially when it was beginning to go dark and the city lights came on.
Adel
: Do you know why it was built?
Hamid: Yes, its a television tower. It was designed by one of our best architects, Naum
Chebib.
Adel
: And theres a restaurant at the top, isnt there?
Hamid: Yes, it goes round very slowly, so that you can see the whole city while you are
eating.
Adel
: How much does it cost to go to the top?
Hamid: I think its about twenty-five pounds.
Adel
: Thats not bad, is it?
Hamid: No, but you have to pay a bit more if you take a video camera.
Adel
: Do you know how tall it is?
Hamid: Yes, its 187 metres tall. Its not the tallest building in the world, but when it was
built in 1961, it was the tallest concrete structure in the world.
Adel
: That must have been quite difficult. I thought all modern buildings had metal
inside to strengthen the concrete. And it was damaged by an earthquake, wasnt
it?
Hamid: Thats right when the city was hit by an earthquake in 1992. The damage
wasnt serious and its all been repaired now.
Adel
: Have you ever been to the top?
Hamid: No but Id love to go, especially after what my parents said.
Adel : Why dont we go together? Id love to see what the Pyramids look like from the top.
Hamid: Theyre fifteen kilometres away, but you can see them really clearly. If we went
in the evening, wed see the Nile at night.

5) Read the following passage, and then answer the questions:


A geyser is a special type of hot spring in which steam and hot water erupt and are thrown
into the air. Some geysers throw water up more than 45 metres. Some geysers erupt at regular
intervals and are predictable. One of the most famous, Old Faithful, erupts about every 90 minutes.
But most geysers are unpredictable and irregular.
Worldwide there are only about 1,000 geysers and half of them are in Yellowstone National
Park, USA. Geysers are a rare phenomenon because they form only under certain hydrogeological
conditions. If conditions change, geysers can become dormant or extinct. Natural phenomena such
as prolonged droughts, earthquakes, or landslides can make this happen. So can human activities
such as mining, building dams, throwing trash into the geyser vent, and dewatering by geothermal
power plants. Even without human activities, the lifespan of geysers is at most a few thousand
years.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1. Are all hot springs geysers? Give a reason for your answer.
.
2. Can people prevent all geysers from becoming dormant or extinct? Give a reason for your answer.

6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
I think that we should start a book club for secondary and university students in our town. We
could read both Arabic and English books. We could have meetings every week or two in the
summer, and once a month during the school year. Here is why I think we should do it. First, if we
have a book club, it will encourage us to read more. It is known that if people read a lot, they write
better. So this will help us in two ways. Secondly, we will develop some responsibility if we take
turns leading the discussion at meetings. The leader will have to read the book carefully. Thirdly,
discussing books will help us to overcome any shyness. Everyone will have to say something.

Science and scientists


Food from the air
Everyone has seen plants growing, but have you ever
thought where they get their food? In 1652, a European
scientist called Van Helmot asked this question. Like most
people, he thought that plant must get their food from soil.
However, Van Helmot decided to test the theory with
experiments. First, he dried some soil, put it into a pot and
weighed it. Next he weighed a small tree, planted it in the pot
and added rain water. Then, he watered the soil regularly
with rain water.
After five years, he removed the tree from the Pot and
weighed it again. He found that the tree had gained a huge
amount of weight. When he weighed the soil,
however, it was almost exactly the same as it had been five years earlier.
Van Helmot thought this was strange, but decided that the extra weight of the tree must
have come from the water. He did not realise that there was another invisible food which was
feeding his tree.
We now know that plants and trees make their own food. Their leaves are like
factories producing everything they need, so that plants can change the energy from the sun
into chemical energy. During this process, oxygen and sugar are produced. The oxygen is
released back into the air, and the sugar is used by the plant as food.

Sara: I wish I knew what I was going to do when I leave school. Do you know what you're going
to do, Leila?
Leila:Yes, I want to go to university and study medicine. Then, after that, I want to work as
doctor. Don't you have any ideas, Sara?

Sara: No, I don't. And I don't think I 've don very well in this year's science tests at school.
Leila: I 'm sure you 'II be OK.
Sara: I don't know. I wish I'd done more revision this year.
Leila: I expect you 'II do better in next year's tests.
Sara: I hope so.I just wish I'd worked harder this year. I wish I hadn't wasted my time in the
holidays, so you want to be a doctor?
Leila: Yes, I'd like to work as a hospital doctor for a few years, then I'd like to be a scientist.
Sara: That sounds interesting.
Leila: Yes.You can't know about everything, so research scientists have to specialise. It's
all about doing experiments and comparing your results with other scientists, then
gradually developing theories.
Sara: What will you specialise in?
Leila: I'd like to specialise in studying the causes of serious illnesses like cancer or diabetes.
Sara: Really? Perhaps I should specialise. I wish there were something I was really
interested in, like you.
Leila: You'II probably become interested in something soon.
Sara: I hope so. I do want to be successful.
Leila: I Know! Let s agree now to get together in five years' time, to see if we've achieved
our ambitions
Sara: Good idea! Let's make sure we do.

C) Reading Comprehension and Set Books

5) Read the following passage, and then answer the questions:


Some people say they have no memory at all. But of course we all have a memory. Our
memory tells us who we are and helps us to make use in the present of what we have learnt in
the past. In fact we have different types of memory. For example, our visual memory helps us
recall faces and places. Some people have a strong visual memory, they can remember exactly
what they have seen, for example, pages of a book, as a complete picture.
Our verbal memory helps us remember words and figures we may have heard but not
seen written: items of a shopping list, a chemical formula, dates or recipe.
With our emotional memory, we recall situations or places where we had strong feelings,
perhaps of happiness or unhappiness. We also have special memories for smell, taste, touch
and sound, and for performing physical movements.
We have two ways of storing any of these memories. Our short-term memory stores items
for up to thirty seconds. Our long-term memory, on the other hand, may store items for a lifetime.
Older people in fact have a much better long-term memory than short-term. They may forget
what they have done only a few hours ago, but have the clearest remembrance of when they
were very young.
You might assume that the more we remember the better. In fact, forgetting is as important as
remembering. If we remember all our unhappy times, we would become mentally ill.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1. Expain in your own words why we could not survive without a memory?
.
2. Why is forgetting as essential as remembering?
.
3. What kinds of memory are used when we do the following?
a) play the guitar.
b) feel alarmed when we smell burning.
.
B) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4. is a word in the last paragraph that means accept as true.
a) Remember b) Record
c) Assume
d) Forget
5. Our short-term memory stores items for up to .
a) 80 seconds b) 50 seconds
c) 40 seconds
d) 30 seconds
6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Sir Magdi Yacoub has performed more transplants than any other surgeon in the world
and, as a scientist; his interest in the basic mechanisms of heart structure and function in
health and disease has improved transplant surgery and patient care. He was born and raised
in Cairo where he qualified as a doctor in 1957. He came to Britain in 1962 and since then has
made great achievements in heart surgery. He specialized in working with children with heart
problems and performed complex operations on the tiny hearts of babies in their first days of
life.
He has always combined surgical work with scientific research, which he sees as the

At the beginning of the story, Edmond


Dantes, the 19-year-old hero of The Count of
Monte Cristo, is a happy, successful young
man. He is a ship's captain and he is soon
going to be married to his fiance, Mercedes.
However, some of Edmond's friends are
envious of him and they write a letter accusing
him of treason. Edmond is arrested on his
wedding day and is sent to prison for life.
After Edmond has been in prison for a
number of years, Mercedes marries another
man. In prison, Edmond meets an old religious
man called Faria, who teaches him about
History and Science. He also tells Edmond that
he can have the valuable treasure he has
hidden on the island of Monte Cristo.
When Faria dies, Edmond escapes
from prison, goes to Monte Cristo and finds the
treasure. Now a wealthy man, he decides to
use his new money to reward the people who
have helped him and to punish his enemies.
He finds one of these enemies, Caderousse, who gives him the names of the
others. Caderousse now regrets what he did and because of this, Edmond gives him a
diamond. He when finds Morrel, the ship-owner he had worked for, and helps him with his
financial problems. ten years later, Edmond, who now calls himself the "Count of Monte
Cristo", arrives in Paris. His old friends do not recognise him, but Edmond knows the
people who were envious of him and begins his revenge. In different ways, Edmond
punishes all the men who accused him of treason. Finally, Edmond helps Maximillian .
Morrel, the son of the ship-owner, by rescuing his fiance, Valentine from her cruel
family. Edmound, too, finally finds happiness when he marries Haydee, the daughter of
another Victim of his old enemies.

Presenter: Welcome to The Book Programme.Today we're going to find out something
about-Alexandre Dumas. Dumas was one of France's most famous writers of
adventure stories, including The Three Musk and The Count of Monte Cristo.
To tell us more, today's studio guest is John a lecturer in French literature at
the city University. John, could you start by telling us something about Dumas's
early life?
Holder: Hello. Well, let's start at the beginning Dumas was born near Paris in 1802.His
father was an important man in the French army, but as a young soldier he had
suffered from imprisonment and he died when Alexandre was only four years
old
Presenter: So, was he brought up by his mother?
Holder: That's right. After his father had died. She didn't send Alexandre to school so she
kept him at home. This meant that the young Alexandre had a lonely childhood.
Presenter: How did he start to write?
Holder: Well, by the time Alexandre was twenty, his mother had spent all her money
and he went to live in Pans. He found work as a secretary to someone who had
been a friend of his father's in the army. But he found this work boring and stared
writing plays. Plays, not novels?
Holder: That's right. Today we know Dumas for his novels, hut long before he wrote The
Three Musketeers or the Count of Monte Cristo, he had become famous as a
playwright In one year, 1831, five of his plays were performed in Paris.
Presenter: That's amazing! So when did he write his adventure novels?
Holder : The Three Musketeers and The Count of Monte Cristo were published in 1844
and 1845. They were immediate successes and made Dumas a rich man.
Presenter: These were historical novels, weren't they?

24

Holder : Yes, they were, but they weren't all Historically accurate. Dumas was mainly
interested in writing exciting adventure stories, so he often changed what really
happened in history.
Presenter: And his readers didn't object to this?
Holder: No, although some people were not happy when they discovered that Dumas had
employing other people to write for him
Presenter: Do you mean he didn't write the books himself?
Holder: That's right. Sometimes, he paid assistants to write the stories in his style. Then
he corrected and improved what they had written and the books were published
with his name on the cover.
Presenter: But he was a successful writer, wasn't he?
Holder : Yes, very successful. He had a very good life, and became very rich.
Unfortunately, although he made a lot of money, he also lost it very quickly. Towards
the end of his life, his son took care of his father's finances, until he died in 1870.
That's very interesting. Thank you very much for telling us about the life and work of
Alexandre Dumas.

C) Reading Comprehension and Set Books

5) Read the following passage, and then answer the questions:


Psychologists have been coming up with lots of theories about motivation. They have been
busy answering questions on what it is, where it comes from and why some people suffer from
a lack of it while others have far too much of it. The most obvious place one needs to be
motivated is the workplace. Most of us are motivated to succeed at work. Professor Cooper
found that a large percentage of successful people had lost a parent, been left by a parent or
suffered other tragic loss before the age of eighteen. Cooper claimed that their reason for
seeking success is not to achieve power over others, but to gain control over what is
happening in their lives.
Here are some tips to help boost your motivation. Firstly, eat well and exercise. A fat
stomach is not going to make you very energetic. Secondly, it is useful to define your goals by
writing them down. Thirdly, hang around positive people. If the people you spend your free
time with are constantly complaining about life, maybe its better you looked for new
companions. Sleep well and take breaks and holidays. By putting these ideas into practice, you
will enjoy higher levels of motivation and a better quality of life.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1- Do people, according to psychologists, have similar levels of motivation for success? Explain.
.
2- According to the text, where do people most likely want to achieve success?
.
3- Why do people who suffered in their childhood seek success?
.
B) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4- According to research by Professor Cooper, a huge number of successful people .

a) had good parents.


b) had suffered the loss of a loved one in childhood.
c) were orphans.
d) wanted to have power over other people.
5- What helps people determine what they would like to achieve?
a) eating well and exercising.
b) spending time with positive people.
c) sleeping well.
d) making a note of it.
6) Read the following passage, and then answer the questions:
Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and emigrated 8 to New York city
when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That
was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many
letters seeking admission to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in
Philadelphia. So determined was she that she taught at school and gave music lessons to earn
money for her tuition.
In 1849, after graduation from medical school, she decided to further her education in
Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye infection forced her to give up the idea.
Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because
she was a woman. By 1857, Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another female
doctor, managed to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. Besides being the
first female physician and founding her own hospital, she also established the first medical
school for women.

Festivals and folk


music
In the same way that cultures have their
own festivals, they also have their own traditional
folk music: a particular style of music that uses
different instruments.
Unlike other kinds of music, folk music
usually develops in local communities. Even in
one country, different areas, cities and villages
often have their own distinctive styles. For
example, the traditional music of Cairo is
different from the music of other parts of
Egypt. Distinctive styles developed because, in the past, most people were born and lived
their lives In one village or one small area. Music was individual, not influenced by music
from other areas.
Today, most modern music is written as entertainment. Most folk music, however,
has a special purpose. Folk songs, for example, were made up to describe important
historical events, to help people get through their day's work, or to sing babies to sleep.
Until recent times, folk music was not written down. Children learnt it from their families,
friends or neighbours.
The musical instruments used in folk also vary from place to place. The people of
Upper Egypt, for example, often play the rababah, an instrument like a violin; the
simsimiyya is the instrument of the Suez area. The oud is common in the folk music of
Cairo. Once, it was taken to Europe, where it evolved into a number of modern Instruments.
Today, travel and modern technology have made it possible for anyone to listen to
music not just from other areas, but from other cultures around the world. Because of this,
distinctive folk music could disappear in future. With this in mind, it is our responsibility do
everything we can to protect the traditional music of our countries, our regions and our
communities.

Nabil: Different cultures have different festivals, don' they?


Nahla: Yes, but nearly all cultures celebrate good harvest because it means they 'II
have food for the next year.
Nabil: They're probably the oldest type-festivals, aren't they?
Tom : Yes, they are. In England, most towns and Villages have harvest festivals.
People take fruit and vegetables to their local church. After the festival, these are
given out to the poor.
Nabil: I know that some cultures have special winter festivals, don't they?
Nahla: Yes, like the Sapporo Snow Festival in Japan.
Tom: What happens there?
Nabil: Well, it isn't an old festival. It began in 1950 when some students made snow
sculptures in a park in Sapporo - that's the capital of Hokkaido, Japan's second
largest island. Now it's one of Japan's largest winter festivals. Every year, for
seven days in February, thousands of people enjoy looking at the beautiful snow
and ice sculptures which may be famous landmarks, like the Sphinx, or
enormous models of well-known buildings.
Tom : Really? That's very unusual.
Nahla: In China, they have a big festival in winter, too. Chinese New Year's the most
important day of the year.
Nabil: When do they celebrate that?

33

Nahla: It isn't the same day every year.


Tom : Why s that?
Nahla: It depends on the position of the moon, but it's always between the 21" of
January and the of February. I remember watching a TV programme about it.
Nabil : How do people celebrate?
Nahla: Well, before the holiday, they clean their homes and buy new clothes. Then,
people visit their relatives and give presents on the day after New Year's Day.
There's a big procession, there's loud drum music and there are fireworks.
Nabil: That sounds really interesting. Chinese people all over the world celebrate this,
don't they?
Tom : Yes, they do. Do you have any festivals like this in Egypt?
Nahla: We have Sham El-Nessim, It's a festival to mark the beginning of spring.
Tom : What happens?
Nabil: It s mainly a day when families spend the day together, usually in the open air. We
have a meal of fish with eggs and green onions.
Tom : I really want to see one of these festivals. Many of them have interesting music, too
Nabil: You should ask your parents to take you.
Tom : Yes, I'II suggest going to the Sham El-Nessim festival in Egypt next year !

C) Reading Comprehension and Set Books

5) Read the following passage, and then answer the questions:


Sleep is a powerful influence on our lives. The traditional theory about sleep is that our
brain needs to rest for several hours to refresh itself and to file in our memory everything
that happened to us during the day. If we are not allowed to sleep, we eventually
die.However, Ray Meddis, a scientist at University, has a fascinating new theory. He
suggests that we dont really have to sleep at all. We sleep only because our brain is
programmed to make us do so. According to Dr Meddis, the tiredness we feel at the end of
the day is produced by a chemical mechanism in the brain which makes us sleep.
We are programmed to feel sleepy at midnight, even if we have spent the day relaxing
or doing nothing. He believes that the unpleasant symptoms we suffer when we dont sleep
enough are not because we have not rested, but because we have disobeyed our brains
programming. But he believes that if scientists could turn off the sleep mechanism in our
brain, we could live completely normal lives without sleeping. So is sleeping a waste of time?
Even Dr Meddis does not deny the great psychological value of sleep, and he asks us, if
scientists invented a pill which keeps you awake for ever, would you take it?
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1- What happens if people dont sleep?

2- According to Dr Meddis, could we live without sleeping? Why?

3- What is Dr Meddis theory about the reason for tiredness?

B) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:


4- The traditional view is that we sleep because -------------.
a) we are programmed to do so
b) the brain needs to rest
c) the body needs to rest
d) the memory needs to rest
5- According to the passage, we suffer from unpleasant symptoms when we dont
sleep enough because ------------- .
a) we have not rested.
b) we feel sick.
c) our brain is turned off
d) we did not follow our normal routine fixed by our mind.
6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Everyone's personality is as different and unique as everyone's fingerprints. We can
usually see people's personality in the clothes they wear, or how they look after their things,
or how they behave with other people. When we say that we know someone well, what we
really mean is that we can make accurate guesses about what that person will do or think.
We know the different features of their personality. These features are called "personality
traits".

40

Psychologists think that we have "central personality traits". These affect how we
behave, and how we react to people and situations. Examples of central personality traits are
friendliness, neatness, competitiveness, shyness and optimism. Some psychologists think
that we inherit these central traits from our family and that they usually stay with us all our
life. Psychologists say that we also have "secondary traits", connected with the things we
prefer, such as our favourite food, music, films or colours. These can change as we get older,
but very often many of them stay the same all our lives.

An end to food problems?


As the worlds population continues to grow and
climate change makes it more difficult to produce food
in the traditional way, scientists are developing new
ways of growing plants efficiently. One of these ways is
growing plants without soil. Although this may sound
like a modern process, it is not new technology. Ancient
Egyptian writings describe how plants were grown in
water, and early examples include the famous gardens
of Babylon and floating gardens built by the Aztecs in
Mexico. In traditional farming, soil protects the roots of
plants, but scientists have shown that plants do not
need soil to grow. As long as they can get nutrients
from somewhere, they will grow successfully. To grow plants without soil, special fertilizer
is added to water and the plants take this in through their roots. Recently, this technology
has developed very quickly. It is common in northern Europe where it is used to grow
foodcrops.
Vegetables have even been grown in submarines and astronauts have produced food in
space using this technology. Many people think that growing plants in water could help to
solve the worlds food problems. As cities become larger, there is less land for agriculture.
Countries with little land for growing crops could produce more of their food without soil.
This way can also be used in areas with poor soil, such as deserts, and in areas near the
sea where salt water is damaging the soil. Perhaps soon there will be no areas of the
world where food cannot be produced.

Adel

Hamid: Yes, I do.
Adel
: How long have you been playing?
Hamid: I started when I was only six years old.
Adel
: Do you enjoy playing it?
Hamid: Yes, I do now, but when I first started I wish I keen on it. My hands were very small
and difficult (o put them in the right position,
Adel
: I'm really envious. I wish I'd learnt to something when I was young.
Hamid: It's never too late to start, Adel. My father didn't 't start playing the oud until he was in
his twenties.
Adel
: I 've always liked listening to oud music,
Hamid: Well, why don 't you have a few lessons to see if you like it?
Adel
: Does your father still play, Hamid?
Hamid: Yes, he does. Why don 't you come round and ask him to show you?
Adel
: Do you think he would teach me to play?
Hamid: Probably not. He's always very busy, but I'm sure he could give you some advice.
Adel
: Thanks, that would be great! Is there anything you wish you 'd done when you were
young, Hamid?
Hamid: Yes, but it's nothing to do with music. I wish I could play squash.
Adel
: Why squash?
Hamid: I first became interested in squash during the last Olympic Games. I watched it on TV,
and it looked like a really exciting sport.
Adel
: It's very fast, so it can be exhausting. My brother plays regularly. He says you have to
be very fit to play well.
Hamid: I don't think I have the time to start now. I spend most of my time studying.

43

Adel
: But you need to do something to keep fit. Why don't you join a squash club?
Hamid: I might try that. Thanks for the advice.

C) Reading Comprehension and Set Books

5) Read the following passage, and then answer the questions:


One hundred years ago, diabetes always killed. A victim of diabetes would often
have a damaged body organ called the pancreas, but doctors didnt understand why. In
1921, a young doctor called Frederick Banting had a theory that the pancreas released a
substance that controlled the sugar in the blood. Professor John Macleod at the University
of Toronto, Canada, gave him a laboratory, ten dogs, and medical student Charles Best as a
research assistant. Banting and Best showed that an extract from the pancreas, which they
named insulin, could control blood sugar in dogs. Biochemist Bertram Collip joined them.
He made the insulin pure so it could be tested on humans. The discovery of insulin was a
landmark. Diabetic patients no longer died from the disease. Banting and Macleod received
the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1923, but they shared their prize money with
Best and Collip.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1. Before Bantings discovery, what didnt doctors understand?

d) Banting and Macleod
6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
We spend billions of dollars to study the sun and distant stars. We should stop this
and study the oceans instead. They cover nearly 70% of the earth. Oceanography is more
important than space science. It researches processes that directly affect our lives. For
example, we release tonnes of waste into the oceans every year. Oceanographers, who

43

specialise in various fields, can tell us the results of pollution on marine life, on the chemistry
of the seas and on the currents (movement of water) that affect climate. We know that in
different parts of the seas, distinctive forms of life have evolved. There are even living things
that do not depend on the sun for energy! Maybe we can learn something useful by studying
them. There are vast areas of the oceans, especially in the deepest water, that are
unexplored. This is where we should be researching, not the stars.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1. What is the writers opinion of space science?
.
2. Why do you think oceanographers specialise?
.
3. Give one reason why the writer thinks we should study the oceans more.

Women in History
Florence Nightingale
Florence Nightingale was born in 1820 into a
wealthy family in Italy, but grew up and went to school
in England. When she was 17, she decided that she
wanted to be a nurse, although her family did not think
that this was a suitable job for their young daughter.
However, Florence's work in a London hospital was so
effective that the British government asked her to be in
charge of the nursing of wounded soldiers abroad.
After working in Europe, she returned to England and
opened the Nightingale School of Nursing in London,
the first school
of this kind.

The Queen of the Air


Amy Johnson was from the north of England and
first became interested in flying while she was working
as a secretary in London. In 1929, she was awarded
her pilot's licence and a year later tried to break the
record for a solo flight from Britain to Australia. She
flew alone from London to Darwin in a small plane.
This took 19 days and she stopped many times in
Europe, Asia and on Islands in the Pacific Ocean.
Although Amy missed the record by just three days,
she became very popular with the British people, who
called her the Queen of the Air. Amy Johnson made
many other long-distance flights, and in 1936 broke the
record for a solo flight from London to South Africa.
She also flew planes for the British army during the
Second World War, and was killed in a plane crash in
1941.

Dr Aisha Abd El-Rahman

newspaper. Al Ahram. During her life, she helped to improve women's position in
Egyptian society.
Dr Aisha was born in 1913. Her father was an
important man and Dr Aisha used to go with him to
meetings, at which she learned to read and write. At a
time when many girls didn't go to school, Aisha's mother
encouraged her daughter to get a good education and, as
a result, Aisha started school at the age of five.
Dr Aisha was successful at school and went to Cairo
University, where she studied Arabic language and
literature. She was awarded her degree in 1939 and then
joined the university staff as a research assistant. In 1942.
she was employed as a government inspector for the
teaching of Arabic literature.

45

more positive role for women in the modern world.
Dr Aisha was a respected teacher and taught at many universities across the Arab world.
With her husband. Professor Amin El-Kholy, Dr Aisha spent holidays visiting European
museums, universities and libraries
Dr Aisha died in 1998 at the age of eighty-five .Her work, which had taken up
much of her personal life, is still appreciated today.

festive. As I wandered along, looking at the freshly baked cakes and smelling the mouthwatering aromas of the different pies, I suddenly realized how hungry I was. When I tried

after he retires. At the funeral, he meets his Aunt.

Augusta has lived an adventurous unconventional life.
After the funeral, Henry and Augusta meet
again and, despite having very different personalities,
they get on well. Augusta tells Henry things about his
family that he never knew. Augusta. then persuades
Henry to go travelling with her, at first to places in
England, but gradually to more. exciting destinations.
Until now, Henry has ive, a quiet life; most of the
people he knows are bank customers or colleagues.
One day, Augusta tells Henry that she is taking him to Istanbul, He is surprised
by this sudden announcement. He is used to planning everything he does, but Augusta
is always spontaneous and, seems to make decisions without thinking. the journey to
Istanbul, Henry finds out more about his aunt's unusual lifestyle and her past. As they
travel, Henry sees new cultures for the first time and Augusta introduces him to her old
friends who all have exciting and unusual stories to tell. Henry is often surprised by what
he hears, but begins to enjoy himself more and more.
When he returns to England, Henry enjoys his retirement looking after the flowers
in his garden, but he is a changed man. he misses his aunt and her interesting friends,
and Augusta has shown him a new way of looking at the world.

Presenter: Good afternoon. In today's programme, our subject is the twentieth-century


British novelist Graham Greene. We're going to hear from John McGregor.
Welcome to the programme, John. Could you start by telling us a few facts
about Graham Greene's life?
McGregor: Hello. I only met Graham Greene once, but I've long been interested in his
life. He was born in 1904, and was the fourth of six children. Although his
father was a school teacher, his wider family was wealthy and Influential in
the world of banking and business. Graham was very unhappy at school
because he was regularly bullied. On leaving school, he went to Oxford
University, where he studied history.
Presenter: When did he start writing?
McGregor: Well, while he was at Oxford, he wrote a few poems, but they were not very
successful. After graduating, he became a journalist, working on local
newspapers and then for a national paper.
Presenter: And when did he write his first novel?
McGregor: His first successful novel, Stainboul Train was published in 1932. It was later
made into a film
Presenter: Quite a lot of his stories were made into films, weren't they?
McGregor: Yes, probably the most famous was "The Third Man".
Presenter: Did he earn enough money from novels to live on?
McGregor: No, he didn't earn enough at firs! so he wrote book and film reviews for
magazines and newspapers. Then, during the Second World War, he worked
for the British government in Africa.
Presenter: Did he enjoy travelling?
McGregor: Yes, he did, and many of his books were based on his travels. He
particularly liked wild, remote places. In 1935, he went to Liberia, and wrote a

56

travel book about his experience. In 1938, he travelled to Mexico which is


where I met him.
Presenter: And in his later years, he went to live abroad, didn't he?
McGregor: That's right, he moved lo Switzerland, lie died there in 1991.
Presenter: How do you think Graham Greene will be remembered?
McGregor: As a fantastic storyteller. The unusual thing about Graham Greene was that
his books were popular with ordinary people, but were also regarded as
great literature. I believe people will read his books for many years.
Presenter: And what sort of a man was he?
McGregor: Well, he was married and had two children, but he always wanted the
excitement of foreign travel and he was quickly bored by daily routines.
Despite his being known as a difficult man, I got on very well with him.
Presenter: John McGregor, thanks very much.

C) Reading Comprehension and Set Books

5) Read the following passage, and then answer the


questions:
It must be said that the majority of those who are against Genetically Modified (GM)
foods are neither living in countries which suffer from food shortages, nor facing starvation.
Many scientists believe that without GM foods, the Third World will never overcome its
food problems. At present, over one billion people live on less than one dollar a day. The
United Nations hopes this number will be cut in half, within fifteen years. This will not
happen if food continues to be produced in the conventional manner.
Foods produced by traditional farming methods do not last very long and often spoil
during transport. Very often, food sent by the West to countries suffering from famine, rots
before it reaches its destination. Now, scientists have found ways to preserve foods for
much longer time. For example, they have developed a preservative made from vitamins
and minerals which keeps even cut fruit fresh for up to ten days if refrigerated. Despite
this, there are still people who believe that agricultural research should be moving in a
different direction. They accept that there is no real proof that GM foods are dangerous.
However, they believe that the solutions that GM foods provide are short-term and that it is
necessary to find longer-lasting and natural means to solve the worlds food problems.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1. How do scientists preserve foods for a long time?
.
2. Mention one disadvantage of food grown by conventional methods.
.
3. Give a title to the passage.
.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
4. The expression cut in half means .
a) cut into pieces
b) add one half
c) decrease by half
d) become one and a half
5. Most of the food sent to starving countries ..
a) never decays
b) decays after it reaches them
c) decays on the way
d) does not decay until it is eaten by them
6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Can you imagine anything worse than returning home to find that burglars have
broken into your house? Unfortunately, this happens to about one million people in Britain
annually. However, if you want better protection against burglars, there are several things
you can do. To improve security, check all the locks on your doors and windows. The
installation of lighting all around the house will make sure a burglar is unable to hide in the
shadows. An alarm system is another good preventative measure you can take.
Starting a neighbourhood watch group is also a very effective way to prevent crime in
your area. Since most burglaries take place when people are away on holiday, this is when
your neighbours' help is most valuable. Ask them to collect your mail, open and close your
curtains every day, switch your lights on and off and even mow your lawn to make your
house look occupied.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1- According to the text, when are burglars able to hide in homes?
.

The History of paper


In Ancient Egypt, a type of tall grass called papyrus,
which grew in the Nile valley, was used for writing and
drawing on. Before it could be used, the leaves of the
grass were soaked in water; pressed together and
then dried in the sun. The first real paper was made
by the Chinese two thousand years ago. In the eighth
century, Arab travellers who traded with China learned
how to make it, too. At first, paper was very expensive
because it was made from cotton, but later it was
produced from wood and so became much cheaper.
To make paper from wood, logs are broken into small
pieces which are then mixed with chemicals and bleached. Water is removed from the
mixture, which then passes through hot rollers to produce continuous pieces of dry paper.
Every year, millions of trees are cut down to make new paper .Fortunately, the type of tree
that gives us the best wood for making paper grows very quickly, but old paper can also be
recycled. Most of today's newspapers and magazines are made from recycled paper.
For hundreds of years, an enormous quantity of paper has been used to produce
books. Especially very large books like encyclopaedias.
Now,Encyclopaedias and other books can be put on to CD-ROMs;special
computer
disks which can hold huge amounts of information. Sound and pictures can also be put on
CD-ROMs. Many people think that soon everybody will have a computer and we will get all
our information from
The internet or from CD-ROMs. They believe that public libraries will no longer be
needed and that printing will become part of history.

The Future Of Books


Mahdi: Hi. Kasim.
Kasim: Hi. Mahdi.
Mahdi: What's that book you're reading?
Kasim: It's a Graham Greene novel.
Mahdi: I wonder if you can get it as an e-book.
Kasim:What are e-books?
Mahdi:They 're electronic books-I saw a TV programme about
them a few days ago now I'm really enthusiastic about the idea.
Kasim:How do you read them?
Mahdi :Well, you download them from the internet onto an e-book reader, which is a
small computer about the same size as the paperback book you're reading. It
has a screen like the page of a book. So you read the book on the screen and
turn the pages by pressing buttons or by touching the screen.
Kasim:But surely you can't download everything you might want to read?
Mahdi :Not yet, no. But in the future, every new book will probably be published as an
ordinary book and as an e-book
Kasim:That sounds amazing, but if you have to pay for the reader and the download.
That must be expensive.
Mahdi: At the moment it is,but you cun be sure they'll reduce the price when more
people
buy them. New gadgets are always expensive when only a few people are buying
them
.Kasim:Do you think they'll ever replace traditional books completely?

68

Mahdi :No. I shouldn't think so .But when more books are available online. I think most
bestsellers will be read as e-books .On the other hand, I'm sure some kinds of
books won't be replaced: school books for example
Kasim:Or any books that are large or where pictures are important.
Mahdi :E-books will be good for the environment. too.
Kasim:Will they?
Mahdi :Yes, think of all the paper that we'II save. By the year 2100, millions of trees
and
hundreds of forests will have been saved.
Kasim: It's a great idea.
Mahdi: Well, if yon want an e-book reader, you'd better start saving now!
Kasim: I will.

C) Reading Comprehension and Set Books

5) Read the following passage, and then answer the questions:


Many people believe the legend that there is a curse on the tomb of Tutankhamen.
The tomb of Tutankhamen was discovered by lord Carnarvon in 1920. He died from blood
poisoning three months after opening the tomb. No one would have thought his death had
anything to do with the tomb if it had not been for a letter from the writer Marie Corelli to the
New York World newspaper. In this letter she said. that, she owned a book which told the
story of the curse. Not long after the death of Lord Carnarvon, an American who said he had
caught a cold while visiting the tomb, also died.
As time passed, the list of people who had been 'punished' by the curse grew and for
many people there was too much evidence for the story to be ignored. However, a number
of facts have been forgotten. In 1982 an American policeman who had a heart attack
claimed it was because he had spent time looking after the Tutankhamen Exhibition in San
Francisco. He was not believed when it was discovered that another man who had actually
slept in the tomb while guarding it for seven years was not only alive but in good health.
Thus the idea of the curse was proved to be a fallacy.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1. What made the people think that Lord Carnarvon's death was caused by the curse of Tutankhamen?

.
2. Why did the man sleep in the tomb of Tutankhamen for seven years?

3. Do you really think there is a curse in the tomb of Tutankhamen? Why?
.

4. Lord Carnarvon died of...........
a) the curse of the tomb.
b) blood pressure .c) an accident.
d) blood
poisoning.
5. Many people could not ignore the story of the curse because ...........
a) they had no evidence, at that time.
b) They had too much evidence, at that time.
c) they failed to find any evidence.
d) they managed to prove that it was evident.
6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Dr. Christina is one of a team of doctors who work in the Amazon Forest. They work to
find out about the methods which local people use to treat diseases. Local people use
medicines which come from plants, and the team want to know about these plants and study
them to find the active component. Then they plan to experiment with them. Plant medicines
were used for treating illnesses very long ago, and they are still common in many parts of
the world. These plant medicines are safer and cheaper than scientific medicines and they
work just as well for many diseases.
However, many people still use scientific medicines. Dr. Christina says that we are too
dependent on scientific medicines which can be very dangerous and make people ill. Some
diseases have become resistant to them. If the medicines stop killing bacteria and viruses,
then they are more dangerous than useful. Many doctors do not recommend plant
medicines, but this is because they do not understand them. Dr. Christina says, We are
learning about forest plants so that we can teach city people to use them. She thinks we

75

should use plant medicines for most of our illnesses, and keep scientific medicines for
treating dangerous diseases.

Marie Curie was my hero


You may not have heard of Dr Karimat El- Sayed, but
in 2003, she won an award as one of the best women scientists
in the world. At the time, she was a science professor at Ain
Shams University in Cairo and won the award for her work on the
structure of metal.
Dr El-Sayed is special in the world of science because
she was the first Egyptian woman to receive one of these
awards. As an enthusiastic scientist, she has spent much of her
career encouraging other women to become scientists. She said
in an interview that, despite being grandmother, she was still
working because she loved it.
As a girl at secondary school, Dr El-Sayed heard about
the discoveries of the energetic French woman scientist, Marie
Curie, and decided that she wanted to be a scientist herself. ElSayed worked very hard at school and was good at Science and
Maths .However, it was not common for women to go to
university at this time, so it took her a long time to get her family to agree to the idea.
In her early twenties, after graduating, El-Sayed travelled to Britain to continue her
studies. There, she was inspired by one of her teachers who was also a scientist. Later,
El-Sayed married a man who was also a research scientist.
Now, as well as her other work, Dr El-Sayed travels round Egypt meeting groups of girls
and encouraging them to think
about careers in science.
Osama: Have you ever been abroad, Ali?
Ali
: Yes, I went to England for a month last summer, which was really good fun. I went with a
student group. We stayed near London and visited all the famous tourist places.
Osama: So you went to study?
Ali : Yes, and to have a holiday! It was what they called a Language and Culture visit. We stayed with
English families, we had English lessons every morning, then went on visits in the afternoons and
at the weekends.
Osama: Was it very tiring?
Ali : I wouldnt say it was very tiring. We were very busy, but we learnt a lot about British culture.
Osama: What about the language lessons?
Ali
: They were good. There were students from all over the world in my class it was really
interesting. I made some new friends.
Osama: Were you the only student from Egypt?
Ali : No, there were two others one from my school and one from a school in Aswan.
Osama: What did you learn about English culture?
Ali : Hundreds of things. The English drink lots of tea, but they put milk in it. Its not very warm there
even in the summer, which means that the British spend a lot of their time in their houses and
have clothes for all kinds of weather.
Osama: Were the people friendly?
Ali : Yes, very. They were interested to hear about life in Egypt.
Osama: Thats a bit like the people I met in China.
Ali
: Have you been to China?
Osama: Yes, I went there for a week last summer with my parents. My dad had to go on a business
trip to Shanghai, so he took us all with him.
Ali : That must have been really interesting.
Osama: Yes, it was. I didnt know much about China before we went, but my mother and I had quite a
lot of free time when my father was at business meetings.
Ali : So, did you travel around?
Osama: Yes, we did. It was so different from anywhere Ive ever been before. A lot of Shanghai is

78

very modern, but there are also ancient places to visit, like the 900-year-old water village of Zhou
Zhuang. There are canals instead of streets, so people have to travel around by boat.
Ali : Did you learn any Chinese?
Osama: Just one or two words. Some of the people we met knew a little English, but we didnt meet
anyone who could speak Arabic.
Ali
: Would you like to go back to China?
Osama: Yes, definitely, theres so much to see. What Id really like is to spend a year there, maybe
working for a charity.
Ali
: Sounds like a great idea!

C) Reading Comprehension and Set Books

5) Read the following passage, and then answer the


questions:
It is most necessary for everyone to cut down on his food expenses. Since the early
1970s the cost of the food has gone up faster than the cost of all commodities and services.
The increase has mounted to more than 300%.
For all Egyptian families, food is the biggest item in their monthly household. In fact, it
swallows more than half the budget of millions of low-income families. People suffer from
the high prices of food a lot. How will such a state of affairs end? Is it the fate of low-income
families to face starvation? Isnt there any solution?
To be sure, there is. You can reduce your food expenses at least 20% by observing the
following pieces of advice. Note the food items you need when your supplies run low. Group
the same kind of food together and write a list of your needs. Use you list as you shop and
dont buy any items which are not included on the list. Food is sold nowadays in different
forms: fresh, canned and frozen. Choose the cheapest and healthiest ones. You can buy
fresh vegetables instead of frozen ones because they are cheaper and healthier. Chickens
are cheaper than red meat. You can have cheese, beans and eggs instead of meat.
One last bit of advice, Dont go shopping on an empty stomach. Shopping when you
are hungry tempt you to buy things you dont really need.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1. How have prices increased since the 1970s?
.
2. How can you avoid buying unnecessary food?
.
3. Suggest a suitable title for this passage?
.
B) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4. As food is the biggest item in the Egyptian family budget, people should -------a) buy all the food they like
b) not buy any frozen food
c) buy only healthy and cheap food
d) eat only when they are hungry
5. According to the passage, fresh vegetables are ------------ than frozen ones.
A) as cheap as b) healthier than
c) worse than
d) more expensive than
6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Many experts believe there are too many people in the world. Unless there are big
changes in the way people think about the number of children they should have, the world's

88

population will double in 25 years. There will be more than 20 cities with populations greater
than 20 million. Now there is only one.
Some people- who do not understand what overpopulation means - point to countries
such as Australia-and say, "There is plenty of room there." Although most of Australia is
unpopulated, and much of it is thinly populated, there are reasons for this. Firstly, much of
the land is desert and waterless, and secondly, even the land that is not desert is not
suitable or anything, not even growing grass.
Another major problem we shall have to face as the world's population grows, is
shortage of energy. We are using up coal and oil and when they have been used up, we
shall have to find something to take their place. It is true that we can make electricity from
the heat of the sun and moving water, but we do not yet have the technology to do this in a
big way. Perhaps, the biggest problem we shall have when the world's population doubles
will be pollution. The air we breathe is already badly polluted.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1- How many present cities have a population of over 20 million?
.
2- Mention two problems we will face as a result of overpopulation.
.
3- What does the underlined word refer to?
.
B) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4- In order to prevent the world's population from being doubled, there must be a change in ..

a) the methods of agriculture.


b) sources of energy.
c) the way people think about the number of children they should have.
d) the education of the great numbers of children.
5- When coal and oil have been used up, we shall
a) search for other sources of energy.
b) wait for scientists to solve the problem.
c) use computers instead.
d) try to do without them or any other kind.

D) The Mask of Gold

A story of greed
Kino, a Mexican pearl diver, and his wife Juana
live a happy life until, one morning; their son Coyotito is
stung by a scorpion. They take him to the local doctor,
but he will not treat the boy because the family is too
poor to pay. Juana treats the boy herself. That same
day, Kino goes diving and finds an enormous pearl,
which means he is now a wealthy man. However, when
other people hear about the pearl, they plan to steal it.
When the doctor hears about Kino's pearl, he offer to
treat Coyotito, even though Juana's treatment has
already cured him. That night, someone tries to steal the
pearl, so the next day Kino goes into town to sell it. The
merchants say the pearl is no very valuable because it is
too big. Kino knows this is a trick and so he decides to go to another town to sell the
pearl.
Juana tries to persuade Kino to throw it away because she believes it is evil
and fears that it will destroy the family, but Kino refuses. He wants it pay for his son's
education.
In their way to the other town the family are followed by thieves who want the
pearl. Juana and Coyotito hide in a mountain cave, but Coyotito cries out. When the
thieves hear this noise, they fire their guns at what they think is a wild animal, Kino
attacks the thieves, but by now it is too late Coyotito is dead. Deciding that the pearl is
evil. Kino and Juana return to their home town and throw it into the sea.

Presenter: Good afternoon. The subject of today's programme is the American writer,
John Steinbeck, whose book "The Grapes of Wrath" was one of the most
famous novels of the twentieth century. To tell us more about John
Steinbeck, we have in the studio an expert on literature, Dr Helen Curler. Dr
Carter, welcome.
Dr Carter: Hello.
Presenter: I wonder if you could start by telling us something about John Steinbeck's
childhood and early life
Dr Carter: Certainly. John was born in California in 1902. His ancestors were from
Europe: from Germany on his father's side and Ireland on his mother's. The
name Steinbeck is German.
Presenter: What did his parents do? Were they a poor family?
Dr Carter: No, they weren't. His father was a civil servant and his mother was a
teacher. It was his mother who taught John to read and encouraged him to
become a writer.
Presenter: What about his education? Did he go to university?
Dr Carter: Yes, he did. After High School, he went to Stanford University to study English, but
he left in 1925 without a degree and went to live in New York to become a writer.

Presenter: Did he succeed?


Dr Carter: Unfortunately not. His first three novels were not a success. He had to
continue working in badly paid jobs. It was not until 1939 that he became
famous, when The Grapes of Wrath won an influential prize.
Presenter: Can you explain why this novel was so successful?
Dr Carter: Well, it's a great story. But it was also a novel in which Steinbeck wrote about the
lives of poor working Americans during the Great Depression of the 1930s. I think

91

Steinbeck was respected for telling the truth about his country and for forcing people
to think about the problems of the country's poor.

Presenter: So did Steinbeck then become a celebrity?


Dr Carter: No, not at all. He was a very private person who hated publicity.
Presenter: Did he write any other important novels?
Dr Carter: Well, during the Second World War, he worked as a war correspondent for
a New York newspaper, but he continued to write. In 1942, he wrote The
Moon is Down, about the war in Europe, and in 1947, he wrote The Pearl, a
short novel about a Mexican diver. Then in 1952, he wrote East of Eden,
which Steinbeck himself thought was his best novel.
Presenter: And did he continue to write?
Dr Carter: Yes, he did, and then in 1962 he won the Nobel prize for literature. He died in 1968.

Presenter: Thank you so much, Dr Carter. That s all we have time for today.

C) Reading Comprehension and Set Books

5) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:


People are trying many ways to solve the problem of finding "green" energy - energy
that is clean and does not cause pollution. In some places plants are being grown which
can be used as food and fuel. For example sunflowers are grown for the oil in their seeds.
However, once the seeds have been taken out, the rest of the plant can be dried and
burnt. An old solution in India is to dry animal waste and form it into bricks for burning. The
Chinese improve on this and keep the waste until it produces methane gas which they use
for cooking and heating.
Solar power could be one of the best future sources of energy. All over the world it is
already being used for such jobs as heating water and houses and powering machines to
water plants. But there is a way to make even better use of the sun. In space, because the
sun never stops shining, it can supply solar energy for twenty four hours a day. Space
scientists have suggested building a solar power station in space. It would produce huge
amounts of power which could be sent down to the Earth. To build a station in space like
this would be very expensive, but once the station was working, the energy from it would
be almost free.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1. Why do scientists think of having solar stations in space?
.
2. How can a station in space be economical in the long run ?
.
3. What does green energy mean ?
.
B) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4. Solar power means energy from -----------------.
a) plants
b) atoms
c) fossil
d) the sun
5. The underlined word "this" refers to -------------.
a) drying animal waste
b) getting oil from seeds
c) getting bricks from animal waste
d) getting green energy
6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
People work together to make difficult jobs easier. If you had to move a heavy piece
of furniture, from one room to another, would you do it by yourself or find someone to help
you? As you would probably agree with a friend you can get the job done more quickly and
neither of you will be as tired as afterwards. For similar reasons, animals also use
teamwork. In animal groups, each individual works to help the group as a whole. Each
individual in the group contribute something that helps the other. It could be as difficult and
dangerous as risking one's life to protect another member of the group. It takes a lot of
energy to chase and kill prey. A pack of wolves can kill a large animal such as a deer,
while one wolf can only kill a small animal such as a rat. Wolf packs, which consist of two
to twenty wolves, may surprise their prey or pursue it for hours before attacking. If there
are several animals, the pack will choose the weakest one because it will take less effort to
catch.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1. Which do you prefer, and why, to work in a group or to work alone?
.
2. How do we know that animals use teamwork?
.
3. What is meat by wolf pack?
.
B) Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4. One wolf can kill a ------------animal.

Lifelong learning
Thirty years ago, most university students
believed that when they graduated, their education
had finished. They expected to get a job and work
for one employer until they retired. Now students
know they will probably have to change jobs during
their working lives. This means they will probably
need new skills, and in todays world, lifelong
learning helps them to get these.
To remain employable, individuals must be
good at the jobs they are doing and predict what
skills they may need in the future. Tarek, who
works in the finance department of a large
company in Assiut, knows that to get a promotion
he must improve his computer skills. His company needs highly qualified staff, so it
provides courses for its employees, but Tarek is also doing an evening course. Doing his
job and studying is hard work, but he knows it is worthwhile. Nahla Zoheri lives in
Damietta and has young children. She has a BSc in Information Technology and would
like to return to work when her children are older.
She hopes to get a Masters degree, but the nearest university with a suitable
course is in Cairo. Nahla cannot leave her family, soshe wants to study by distance
learning. This is when students and teachers are in different places. Nahla has now
enrolled on an MSc course
and is very happy. All the information she needs is on the internet and her teachers
communicate with her by e-mail. In two years time, Nahla hopes to get her Masters
degree after studying in her own home and without leaving her family.

Man 1: Two years ago, I lost my job when the company Id worked for since I left school
closed. I looked for a similar job and sent my CV to a lot of companies, but I
didnt get any interviews. Someone said I might be too old Im fifty-one and
said I should try a different kind of job. They advised me to retrain. This seemed
like a sensible idea, so I looked around and found a course at my local college
where I could train as a teacher. Ive just started my second year and Im really
enjoying it. About half of the other studentson the course are mature students
like me. Teaching is so different from the job I was doing before. I probably
wont earn as much money as I did, but Im sure the work will be very rewarding.
Woman: I didnt go to university when I left school. I got a job as a doctors
receptionist. After a year, I married and had a family. Now Im forty-two; my
children are grown up and Id like to go back to education. I think I will
appreciate it more now than I would have done when I was eighteen. I
always enjoyed English at school, so I might study languages I havent
decided yet. Id really like to study medicine, but its a very long course and I
cant spend all my life studying. If I want to start this year, I have to apply by
the end of next week. So I must make up my mind very quickly.
Man 2: My names Paul Roberts. I retired from my job as a bank manager five years
ago and thought Id enjoy all the extra free time Id have. For the first two years, I
had a great time. My wife
and I travelled all over the world. But by then Id had enough I needed a new
challenge of some kind, I needed to be busy again. Someone suggested doing
a degree course. I thought they were joking, but I started looking round for

102

suitable courses. In the end, I enrolled on a science course with the Open
University. Its a university for people who want to study, but cant leave home
for some reason. You can do it at any age and many Open University students
have full-time jobs.
Its ideal for me. I can study at home when I want to, using my own computer. By
the time I finish next year, Ill be nearly seventytwo years old, but its a really
worthwhile experience.

C) Reading Comprehension and Set Books

5) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:


Do you remember when the telephone used to be a simple receiver connected by a
wire to the wall ? And all you used it for was to make a phone call ? Today, new
technology has changed the telephone and what people use it for. Using computers now
in technology has given us fast connections and clearer conversations over the telephone.
Nowadays, people use telephones to do their banking, to rent videos, and to buy things.
People now can send letters and documents through phone lines by fax. And new systems
may be available soon for sending video pictures over the telephone.
The most recent invention about telephones is that you don't need to be at home or
at the office to use the telephone any more. There are now mobile phones which have no
wires. You can carry one in your pocket or keep it in your car. A call from a mobile phone
travels along radio waves to stations in different places. From there, the radio signal is
connected to the regular phone system. With a mobile phone, anyone who can drive and
talk can also drive and phone. This means less wasted time. So remember next time you
are at the beach or riding your bicycle, there might be a call for you.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1. How have computers improved telephone services?
.
2. How many uses of the telephone can you find in the passage?
.

5. People can send and receive letters and documents by ------------------.
a) radios
b) printers
c) fax
d) stations
6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
An earthquake is not particularly dangerous in our days. In cities and towns, buildings
are constructed according to the most recent technological methods, and thus earthquakes
are not so threatening as they were in the past. However, in some out-of the- way districts
where people make their own houses and no precautions are taken against earthquakes,
these natural phenomena sometimes prove fatal. Some time ago there was a destructive
earthquake in Egypt. It lasted only one minute, and its effects were great. In a matter of
seconds hundreds of houses collapsed. People were buried alive under the ruins. Those
who were fortunate enough to survive knew that their relatives might still be living under the
heaps of stone and wood.
The army had been ordered to remove the ruins and the soldiers had to work fast to
save as many people as they could. The survivors helped the soldiers in the struggle
against death hoping to find a missing member of their family. They had to remove the ruins
with their bare hands for fear of killing someone if they used the spades. Nevertheless, most
of those who were dug out were dead, and those who were still alive had been so badly
injured that few of them escaped death in the end. Earthquakes are rare, and their terrible
effects have been considerably limited. However, in the parts of the world where primitive
living conditions are still existing, earthquakes are still as terrible as they were in the past.
A) Give short answers to the following questions:
1. Why were earthquakes more dangerous in the past?
.
2. What does the underlined phrase mean?
.
3. What was the army ordered to do?

The Text
The next day I went into the tomb with Dr Hafez and the others. We were all curious.
Ramon and the other workers had made the hole in the wall wider. They had put a ladder inside
the cave. It isn't easy climbing down a ladder in the dark. I was wearing a helmet with a flashlight
on it. When I turned my head the lamp lit up the rock in front of me. But the flashlight didn't help me
find where to put my feet! Little by little I reached the floor of the cave. It was cool and dry inside.
The only air came from the hole we had made in the wall.

When all four of us were down on the floor of the cave, we started to look around. Ramon
had said he had seen bones, human bones. We soon found these near the centre of the cave.
Some bones were missing, and some were covered with earth, but they were clearly the bones of
a man. He was on the ground in a sitting position. There were some small pieces of cloth. They
looked dull now, hut perhaps the colours were bright when the body was buried, perhaps five or six
hundred years before. We looked closer at the body. Then I gasped. So did the others. The skull
was broken and there was a big crack across it.

"He might have been killed," Dr Hafez said slowly. He spoke in a whisper, as if he didn't want to
disturb the dead man's sleep.
"That's right," said Dr Hafez.
"But the skull could have been broken by falling rocks, couldn't it?" I said. Dr Hafez smiled.
"Yes, Leila. That's also possible," he said. "We must keep both possibilities in mind until we
have proof that one is correct." "So is it the body of a Chimu king?" asked Amalia.
"Probably. Or it could be a nobleman or an important official. But we need to find more
proof. If we can find a gold mask, then we would be sure it was a king. But the first thing to do is to
date this cloth."

Dr Hafez opened his rucksack and took out the black box I had brought from Cairo. I hadn't seen
inside the box before. It had a dial and a small screen on one side. Dr Hafez bent down and placed
it over the cloth. When he pressed a switch there was a low humming sound and a ray of red light
came from the box,
"What have you got there?" asked Pablo.

"This is what Leila brought from Cairo. It's the latest way of dating cloth. This machine
gives out a laser beam and the date of the cloth is shown here on this dial. It takes a few moments.
Ah yes, here we are. Around 1400." "Right in the middle of the Inca period," said Pablo. "Well,
that's a good start." We spent the rest of the morning taking a close look at the area around the
body. It was slow work. I knew what we were looking for. In the time of the Incas people put bowls
of food and water in tombs. Already I could see some bits of pottery that might have been a bowl.
We would have to put the pieces together and see if they fitted. But when they buried an important
person like a king, they buried precious things with them. If we could find some precious things, we
might be able to say that this was a king.

We worked for a few days before we found anything that was really exciting. It was hard work.
There was not much air in the cave and during the day it soon became quite hot. The work was
tiring. We used little trowels to clear away the earth from around the bones,

114

Then we used little brushes to clean the stones and bricks. All day we were bent over the earth.
We had a break in the middle of the morning and another at mid-day. After a few days of this I
was really tired and my back hurt. One morning I was sitting outside the tomb having a drink of
water. The sun was very bright and I had shut my eyes. Someone came and sat beside me.
"Are you all right? You look really tired."

I opened my eyes. It was Amalia. She looked quite worried.
"Yes, I'm a bit tired, but I'm okay."
"It's hard work in the tomb, isn't it? Still, I'm sure we'll find something definite soon. Something
that will tell us if it's the tomb of a king or not." "Do you think it might not be a royal tomb?"
She shrugged her shoulders. "I know Dr Hafez is hoping it's a royal tomb, but until we find
something definite we won't know for sure. We've only got a short time before the UNESCO
inspection, so we really need to find something soon." I looked at her. I wondered what she was
thinking. I wanted to make conversation. She was not at ease with me.

'You remember when we were in Quenco the other day?" I said. "Y-Yes," she said. Her expression
didn't change.
'You were having a drink in a cafe in the main square," I went on. "I thought I recognised the
man you were talking to. I think I met him on the plane." "Martin Lander?" she said. "What a
coincidence. The world is a small place. Yes, I've known him for years, He works for United
Mining." "Is he interested in archaeology?"
"Oh yes." she said. Then she was silent, She clearly didn't want to talk any more, I didn't know
what to think. I must have said the wrong thing. I was finding it very difficult. work went on. I got
more used to it and to the altitude. I suppose I got stronger, fitter. I certainly didn't feel so tired. And

Hi there, Samira!
Guess what? Your big sister is in the news! She's found something important. It might prove
that the tomb we are excavating is the tomb of a king from Inca times. Of course, Dr. Hafez wants
more proof, but it's a pretty good sign. It was nearly the end of the day. We'd been working really
hard. It's hot and stuffy in the tomb and by the end of the afternoon, everyone is really hot and
tired. Well, we had finished working and I was just starting to pack away my tools. I've got a trowel
and a brush and a few other things. I keep them in a bag. I picked up the bag to put the tools in it.
The bag brushed away some of the earth below it. I saw something shiny on the ground. I got my
brush out again and brushed more of the earth away. It looked like a small round stone, but it was
a dull yellow colour. brushed more of the earth away. The head of an animal appeared. It was

115

very small, but it had a face and ears and eyes. I was really excited. I looked around me. The
others were all starting to leave the tomb.
Come on, Leila," Dr Hafez said. "It's time to stop working. You've done enough for the day,"

"Dr Hafez, I think I've found something".
He rushed over. So did the others. I showed them the head of the animal. We all started brushing
away the earth from the figure. Very slowly and carefully, we dug around the figure. At last we had
brushed away all the earth. Dr Hafez took it up in both hands and looked at it. It was tiny - only
about five centimetres long but it was an animal of some kind. It had a square head and a thick tail.
Dr Hafez held it up to the light.
"It's beautiful," he said in a whisper. "What is it?" I asked. '
"It's a llama," he said. "The Incas used Llamas like we used camels. They hadn't invented the
wheel, so everything was carried on the backs of llamas." "It looks as if it's gold," Amalia said. "
"Yes, I think you're right," Dr Hafez replied. He turned the figure around in his hands. He couldn't
stop looking at it.
"Does it mean that this is the tomb of a king?"
Dr Hafez paused. "It means that it's the tomb of somebody important. They only left gold figures in
the tombs of kings and nobles. This gold llama makes it more likely that it's a royal tomb," he
said, "but it doesn't prove that it is."
"We need to find a gold mask to be absolutely sure," said Amalia.
"Yes, you're right," Dr Hafez said. "Of course we need to find a gold mask to be sure it's the
tomb of a king.

But this is still a great discovery. Well done, Leila!"
The others all congratulated me too. I took the little llama in my hands. It was beautiful. To think it
had been lying there for more than five hundred years! Dr Hafez insisted on taking a photo of me
holding the golden llama. He's got one of those digital cameras, so I'm attaching it to this e-mail for
you to show to all the family. It's late now. Time for bed. Bye for now,
Your loving sister, . Leila

I wrote the e-mail in the office and attached the digital image. Dr Hafez and the others had gone on
into Quenco. Pablo Alvarez was very excited about the golden llama and he wanted to tell his
office about it. I decided to stay at the site. I said 1 might go into town later. I wanted to tell Samira
about my discovery. When I'd finished the e-mail I didn't feel tired any more. 1 was sorry I hadn't
gone with the others into Quenco. Dr Hafez had said he was going to take them all out for dinner

116

at the best restaurant in town. 1 wondered if I should call him on my mobile phone and tell him I
would come after all. I picked up the phone then put it down again. I stretched my arms and
yawned. I needed some fresh air.

I closed down my lap-top. I opened the office door and stepped outside. The air was cool and
fresh. I looked up at the sky. It was filled with stars. In the clear mountain air, they were really
bright. But it was the southern hemisphere and I didn't recognise the familiar stars that I knew in
Egypt. I looked in the direction of the cave where I'd found the llama. I felt pleased. Dr Hafez had
been worried that he was wrong about the tomb. But now he had dated the cloth and we'd found
the gold llama. He was being careful, but I think he was pretty certain that we had found a royal
tomb.
I stretched my arms again. I decided to walk over to the tomb. I just wanted to be there again. The
entrance had been closed up. It was always closed at the end of a day's digging. The workmen
had put a simple wooden door over the hole in the wall. But when I looked again, I saw that the
door wasn't completely closed. It had been left slightly open. That was careless, I thought. I
wondered who had done that. I walked up to the door and was just about to close it when I noticed
something else. There was a light coming from inside the tomb. It wasn't a very bright light, but it
was definitely a light. Had someone left a torch inside the tomb?

My heart started to beat quicker. I felt afraid. But I had to find out what was going on. My curiosity
was greater than my nervousness. Was there someone inside the tomb? If there was, who were
they and what were they doing there? I crept up to the entrance and opened it a bit further. I
looked down into the cave. The ladder was still in place. Below, on the floor of the cave, a man
was kneeling. There was a small lamp beside him on the ground. That was the light I had seen.
The man's back was turned to me. But I guessed who it was before I could see his face.

The Text
At first, I couldn't see what he was doing. But my eyes got used to the light. I saw that he was
bending over the floor of the cave near where we had found the skeleton of the king. He was using
a trowel to scrape the earth away from something on the ground.

I was angry that someone was in the tomb at night. My anger made me forget my fear. I began to
climb down the ladder into the cave very carefully and very quietly. I reached the bottom of the
ladder. My heart was racing. I wasn't sure what to do next. I suddenly realised that I probably
couldn't climb up the ladder as quietly as I had climbed down. I was now terribly afraid. Why had I
come into the cave instead of calling for help? I had to hide. The man was a little distance away.
He was still busy and he hadn't heard or seen me. I hid behind a big rock. Then the man stopped
what he was doing. He stood up. Perhaps he suddenly sensed that he was not alone. He pointed
his flashlight in different directions. Fortunately I was well hidden. He turned and came in my
direction. My heart was beating fast. I thought he would find me. He stopped. There was silence
for a moment. But the man seemed to be in a hurry. He turned again and went back to work. I
heard the scrape of a trowel. I waited for a minute or so, then looked round the rock. The man had
his back turned to me.
I couldn't see what he was doing from my hiding-place. I wanted to move a little closer. I was just
starting to move out from behind the rock when he turned round again and this time he saw me.

It was Martin Lander. "What are you doing here?" he asked in a hard voice. At first I couldn't
speak. I was shaking with fear,
1 didn't say, "And what are you doing here?" Instead I said, "I saw a light. I thought there was
someone in the cave. I came to see what was happening." "So we meet again, Miss ElAssaby."
I didn't know what to say at first. At last I was able to speak.
"So you're not a mining engineer," I said. "You're just here to steal things that other people
have found. You're a thief."
Lander smiled. "You're partly right. I was a mining engineer. But I became more interested in other
things. You can call me a thief if you like. But I'm more of a collector, in fact. I appreciate fine
things. I will be happy to add them to my collection.""You can't. It's wrong," I said. "You're
stealing. This is an important excavation, important for Peru and for the world. Everything we find
here should go to a museum so that people can see it."
"You may be right," he replied. "But I'm sure you will find plenty more things. You're not going to
miss a few little artefacts, however valuable.
I am very sorry not to find a gold mask. They are extremely rare and very valuable. I'm sure
there is one here.

Anyway, Miss El-Assaby, I cannot waste time talking to you. You have disturbed my work,
but no matter. I must go now. You, of course, will stay here. Do not try to follow me. I hope you will
spend a pleasant night in the company of a great king. And now, goodbye."
He turned and quickly climbed the ladder. In a minute he had pulled the ladder up behind
him, closed the wooden door and was gone. I knew that there was nothing I could do. I didn't try to
follow him. I didn't try to cry out. No one would hear me. I was so shaken that I fell to the ground
and lay there for some time. I heard the distant sound of a car engine starting and a car drive
away.
I was in complete darkness. It was not a nice feeling. There was no light and no sound. And
it was cold. Time passed. I was very tired And then I saw a skeleton dressed in a king's clothes
coming towards me. The skeleton was being carried on a. litter by four men. They looked like
soldiers. Behind this skeleton was another and behind that another. The skeletons came closer
and closer. I was surrounded on all sides by skeletons of dead kings. They pointed at me and the
soldiers raised their swords and were about to attack me. Suddenly I woke up screaming "No! No!"

After that I couldn't get back to sleep. I felt the cold more and more. The night seemed
endless. How long would it be before someone came to the cave and found me? I heard a noise. It
came from high above me. Someone was opening the wooden door to the cave. "I'm down here," I
called.
"Leila, are you all right? What happened?" It was Dr Hafez's voice.
The ladder came down and Dr Hafez and Ramon climbed down into the cave. "Oh, Dr Hafez," I
said. "I'm so glad you are here." And I told him what had happened. "So it was Lander, was it?" Dr
Hafez said. "But how did he find this place so easily?"

"He must have asked in Cuzco or in Quenco," Ramon said. "People know about our work."
Quenco! That was it. It was Lander who was talking to Amalia. Could she have told him? Dr Hafez
looked at me and I looked at him. We both had the same thought.
"It couldn't be Amalia," Dr Hafez said slowly. "She wouldn't do anything like that."
"But I saw her in Quenco talking to him. She told me it was Lander."
"It may have been Lander," Dr Hafez said. "But that doesn't mean she told him about our
excavations. But she may have said something carelessly. It is so easy to speak carelessly."
I remembered what I had said to Lander on the plane. I had been careless. Perhaps I was
responsible for him finding the cave. " "I'll speak to Amalia now," said Dr Hafez. "We must find
the truth. And we must find Lander and the artefacts he took from the cave. I will have to go to the
police. Oh, these things are so difficult when you are not in your own country."

Dr Hafez helped me climb the ladder. I felt better when I reached the top. Outside the day
was bright and sunny. It seemed like a normal day.
"Come and get a hot drink," Dr Hafez said. "You must be very tired."
We went to a hut and I sat down. Someone brought me a cup of hot coffee. I rested for a
while. I was still shocked by everything that had happened.
Then the police arrived. There was a lot of noise and discussion. I didn't understand what
they were saying. Then they wanted to ask me questions. They only spoke in Spanish. Ramon
translated their questions.
After some time the police went away. "They think that Lander may already be out of the
country," Ramon said. "They will call the Immigration Department at the airport but they think it
may already be too late. And in any case, they think Lander will have a false name and a false
passport. It won't be easy to catch him,"
I rested that day. I couldn't face going down into the cave again. Later in the day, Dr Hafez
came to see me. He told me about his meeting with Amalia.

"She says that she has known Lander for a long time. He has many contacts in Peru. He

She seemed unhappy about something. There was something she didn't want to talk about. But
she says that she didn't talk to him about her work here. I think I believe her. I don't believe she
told Lander anything."
The next day work started again. Nobody knew what Martin Lander had stolen from the
cave. He had probably been working there several hours before I found him. We wondered if
we would find any more artefacts.
And then towards the end of the day, my trowel suddenly hit something hard, something
metal. "Ramon, come here. Can you help me?" I called.
"I think I've found something interesting." Ramon helped me carefully dig around the
object and take it out of the ground. It was a mask. It was made of gold. We stood up and
called the others.
Dr Hafez shone his flashlight on the mask. It shone with a lovely golden colour. "It's a
king's mask. It's like the face of the sun," he exclaimed. "Look at the sun's rays. How
wonderful!"
Everyone was very happy after all that had happened the day before. Now we knew for
certain that it was a royal tomb. We had made a great discovery. We stopped work. We
carefully took the gold mask to show to Pablo. He was delighted. "I will put it in the safe," he
said. "We don't want another visit from Mr. Lander."
The next morning when I got to the site there were police cars again. I wondered why they
had come back.
I soon found out. The gold mask was no longer in the safe.

The Text
The police were examining the safe. The thick metal door was open but the lock had not been
broken. A policeman was putting a special kind of powder on the sale.
"Someone opened the door of the safe with a key," Dr Hafez explained. "And the thief probably
got into the hut through that window. I'm afraid it was open." "But how could anyone get the
key?" I asked. "Have you spoken to Pablo?"

"Not yet," Dr Hafez replied. "He's in Quenco today. He has a meeting with the UNESCO
people. This will be really bad news for him. The UNESCO people will not be happy when they
hear about this."
The chief policeman came towards Dr Hafez. They went outside. They were talking in low
voices. After a few minutes, they came back. Dr Hafez spoke to everyone. "I'm afraid that the
police wish to take everyone's fingerprints," he said. "They want to see whose fingerprints are on
the safe. And they want to search everyone's things."
Everyone had a place where they kept their work clothes at night and their normal clothes
during the day. We waited. Nobody spoke. There was a feeling of suspicion in the air. Nobody was
at ease. After some time I saw the chief policeman go to Dr Hafez and talk quietly to him. Dr Hafez
looked up suddenly in my direction. His face was white and his eyes looked strange. He came
towards me. "Leila," he said in a low voice. "The police chief wants to talk to you. Come to my
office."

I was surprised. I thought they had asked me enough questions the day before.
We went into Dr Hafez's hut and he shut the door. "Leila," he said. "I am very shocked and
upset. The police have not found the gold mask but they found this among your work
clothes." The policeman opened his hand. There was a little gold rabbit. "I didn't steal that," I said.
"I've never seen it before!" "But it was among your things."
"I didn't steal it. I didn't steal it," I cried. I was shaking. How could this possibly be happening to
me? "I believe you, Leila," Dr Hafez said. "But I'm afraid you'll have to go with the police now. I will
have to; find out who did this. It can't be Lander. Someone else must have done it. Someone who
doesn't like you. Someone who wants you to be blamed for the theft of the gold mask.

" I was taken in a police car to the local police station. I bad never been inside a police station
before in my life. It was not a pleasant experience. I was in a country far from home and I didn't
speak the language. At least they treated me with respect but they put me into a police cell, locked
the door and left me. At this point I burst into tears. Why had I come to this country? Why had this
happened to me? Why? Why? Why? So many questions and so few answers. Later that day, I
heard a noise. I stood up and looked through the bars of my prison cell. A policeman was coming.
And there was someone with him. It was Amalia.The policeman opened the cell door and then he
left us. Amalia spoke first."Oh, Leila, I'm sorry for what has happened. You must forgive me."
"Forgive you for what?"-I asked in surprise. "Forgive me because it is my fault that you are
here," Amalia said.
"I was so angry when Dr Hafez put you in charge of the excavating team. I wanted to be in
charge. And when you discovered the gold mask, I couldn't stand it any more. You would got all
the credit. Your name would be in all the newspapers and on TV. By chance, after you found the
gold mask, I found the little gold rabbit. I didn't tell anybody. I kept it a secret. I put it among your
work clothes to get you into troubles . I didn't think that they would put you in prison. It was a stupid
thing to do but when you are angry and jealous, you don't think. Oh, please forgive me."

"I understand, Amalia," I said quietly. "I have explained everything to the police," Amalia said.
"You're free to go. I've got a car outside."
We left the police station. We got into the car and Amalia drove off. "Amalia," I said. "Have you
any idea who stole the gold mask?"
"No," she replied. "But I have an idea where Martin Lander may be. And the two may be
connected. I feel sure they are. When I met him in Quenco, he told me he was very keen to go to
Acomayo. There is another excavation taking place there. You probably didn't know that." "No, I
didn't," I said. "The problem in this country is communication," Amalia said. "The roads are
bad and it can take days to get to some places if the weather is bad.""How long does it take to get

127

to Acomayo?" 1 asked. "Five hours if there are no land slides," Amalia replied. "Shall we call Dr
Hafez?" "Yes," Amalia said. "I'll call him on my mobile." She dialled the number. "Oh, hello, Dr
Hafez,1' she said. "It's Amalia. I'm with Leila ... yes ... they've let her go ... I'll explain everything
later. We think we know where Lander has gone. We think he will be at the excavation site near
Acomayo. There may just be time to catch him ..." We set off in the direction of Acomayo. The road
was narrow, and as we climbed higher into the mountains the weather turned bad. Soon it seemed
we were in mist, but I suddenly realised that it was cloud. We were so high that we were travelling
through clouds. It was difficult and dangerous to drive. On one side there was a steep cliff dropping
hundreds and hundreds of metres. On the other side there was the mountain side. When it rained,
rocks fell down the mountain side onto the road. Amalia was a good driver. She drove as fast as
she could, but that was not very fast in these conditions. From time to time we suddenly saw a
sheep or a goat appear out of the cloud like a ghost. At last we came out of the clouds. We were
above them. All that we could see was the tops of the mountains rising like islands from a sea of
clouds. It was like being in a plane

The Text
Suddenly we were back in thick cloud. It all happened so quickly. Perhaps Amalia had lost her
concentration a little. Or perhaps it was because the road was broken. The car started to turn on
its side and roll over the edge. There was a great crashing noise and down, down we went ... and
suddenly everything went black. I woke up. The cloud had gone and you could see the road and
the mountain valleys. I had pains in my legs and arms and there was blood on my face from a cut.
But I didn't think I had broken anything. We were still in the car. It was upside down on a ledge. I
looked round. It felt strange and my head ached. Amalia did not" move. I wasn't sure if she was
dead or not. "Amalia," I said. There was no answer.

"Amalia I said again. This time I saw that she was breathing. I put my jacket over her and I held her
hand. After a few moments she opened her eyes. "What happened?" she said in a weak voice.
"We've had an accident," I said. "We must get help."
"I can't move," she said. 'T must have broken something. My leg. It
really hurts." I had trained in first aid. I knew how to make a splint. It was important to make her
comfortable first before trying to get help. I had to do something and fast. At this altitude, you can
die quickly from the cold if you are badly injured.

It was extremely difficult to get her out of the car. She was in great pain, almost too much to bear. I
finally got her out and lay her down. We had two blankets in the car. I put one underneath her and
one , on top of her. Then I made her a splint. She was very brave. She had the toughness of an
ancient Inca. Then I looked for the mobile phone. At first I couldn't find it, but then I saw it on the
ground outside the car. I turned it on. It didn't work. It was broken. "Oh, no!" I said.
"Leila, you must save yourself," Amalia said. "Leave me here. Try to get help, but it may be
too late. There are so few people in the mountains. It may take days before someone finds us. But
you must try
I could see that she was weak, "Amalia," I said, "I will go to get help. Don't worry." "Leila, before
you go I must tell you about Martin. In case you get back too late to help me. I want you to
know about him. When you saw me in Quenco talking to him, you probably thought I was working
with him."

"That's right," I said. "I did think that."
"Well, that's not true," she said. "As you know, he used to work as a mining engineer. He worked
with my father. He persuaded my father to put up some money for a new silver mine that Martin
said he had found. But it wasn't true. There was no mine. My father lost all his money. We were
really poor then. It was very hard. And all because of him. Then that day in Quenco, I saw him in
the square. I think he was waiting for someone. I went to talk to him because I was still angry
about what he did to my father."
"Oh, Amalia," I said. "How terrible."

"That is why I wanted to come with you to try to catch him. When I learned that the police had
arrested you, I realised I had done wrong. I realised what my duty was."
"Amalia," I said. "I understand. I'm so sorry I thought badly of you. I promise I'll do everything
I can to catch that man. And I'll go to get help now." "Leila, if you find someone, you must say,
'Ayuda-me pronto, por-favor' - 'Please help me - quickly'. Go in the direction of Acomayo. You may
come to a village along the way."

I climbed up the side of the ledge and reached the road. I walked in the direction of Acomayo as
Amalia had said. I seemed to walk for a long time, but later, I realised it was not far. All my body
ached from the car crash and I couldn't walk fast. At last I came to a few poor houses. I saw a
woman working outside one of the houses. "Ayuda-me pronto, por favor," I said. She looked at me
strangely. She didn't seem to understand. I learned afterwards that many people in the mountains
only speak Quechua, the language of the Incas, and not Spanish. The woman went into the house
and a man came out. "Ayuda-me pronto, por favor," I repeated. The man nodded. I pointed in the
direction of the car. I made signs with my hands to show a car rolling over the side of the
mountain. Then I made more signs to show someone injured. He nodded again. He went back
inside the house. When he came out again, he was carrying two long pieces of wood with thick
cloth between them. Another woman appeared and the four of us set off in the direction of the car.

When we got back to the car, it was raining. Amalia looked very pal and she didn't answer at first.
In the end she opened her eyes a little.
I've found some help," I said. "These people will help us." We put Amalia on the bed. It was like the
litter I had seen in my terrible dream in the cave. Slowly and with great difficulty we carried her up
to the road. I was amazed how strong the man and the two women were.
Finally we got to the houses. They took Amalia inside and gave her a hot drink and some leaves to
chew. "Bueno," the man said. I wasn't sure. I was very worried about Amalia.

That night I slept in a rough bed next to Amalia. She cried in pain a lot and it was nearly impossible
for me to sleep. In the morning the women brought me a sort of bitter tea and some bread. They
continued to give Amalia hot drinks and leaves to chew.

I needed to get a doctor as quickly as possible. The man understood. He said, "Boose, boose". At
last I understood that he meant bus! There must be a bus coming this way. And indeed before long
a bus came along the road. The man put out his hand and the bus stopped. He spoke to the driver.
Then he turned to me and said, "Acomayo, okay." I got on and someone gave me a seat. The bus
was full of people going to market. They had hens and chickens and boxes and parcels.

After an hour we reached Acomayo. I had some Peruvian soles, luckily, and I found a public
telephone.
"Dr Hafez, Dr Hafez," I cried, as the telephone was connected. It was a very bad line. "I'm in
Acomayo. Amalia - " Suddenly the phone was cut off. I tried again. Again the phone cut off. I tried
one more time. The same thing happened. I decided I had to find a doctor. I saw some signs. One
of them read Medico. That must be like medicine, I thought. I went in. A young woman assistant
was there. She spoke a little English.

"I need a doctor urgently," I said. "My friend was in a car crash. .She's injured badly." The young
woman knocked on a door and we went into another room. She began to talk to a woman sitting at
a desk. This woman was a doctor and could speak English. She quickly realised that it, was
urgent. She picked up her coat and in a few minutes we were in . her car on the road to the village.

When we got to the village, we all went inside the house. Amalia was quieter but she was looking
terrible. The doctor told me to go out. I went outside and sat on a rock. I had so many thoughts in
my head. Everything had started so well and now everything had gone wrong. As I thought about
these things my eyes looked up the hillside. I noticed something - a pattern of rocks that seemed
familiar. At that moment the doctor came out.
"Hospital now!" she said.

We got into the car and drove back to Acomayo. The doctor went into her office. She picked up the
phone and spoke urgently. Then she said something to her assistant.
"A helicopter is coming to get your friend," the doctor said. "She needs a hospital quickly. An
ambulance would take too much time. It's a matter of life and death."
We drove back to the village. Soon we heard the judd, judd, judd of a helicopter. It came down on
the road near the house. Quickly two men put Amalia in the helicopter and I got in beside her. I
waved goodbye to the man and the women in the village. There was just enough space in the
helicopter for the four of us. We took off and before long we were at the hospital in Cuzco. I had
never been in a helicopter before. It was such a small machine flying so near to the mountain tops.
But this time I wasn't nervous. I could only think of Amalia and how much I would like to catch
Martin Lander.

The next day Amalia was a little better. Dr Hafez arrived with Ramon. He told me what had
happened. "I was suspicious of Pablo," Dr Hafez said. (You know he went to Quenco to see the
UNESCO people. I decided to go and find him there. I arrived just in time. He was about to leave.
"He told me he was tired and excited the day we found the gold mask and he left the keys in the
hut by mistake. Someone must have climbed through the open window and opened the safe with
the keys. I didn't know whether to believe him or not. I told him that I trusted him. I told him that all
our work together depended on the support of UNESCO. If the gold mask was lost or stolen the
project might come to an end.

And then I had an idea.

"I told him that the police had caught Martin Lander. I knew it was not true. But I wanted to see if
Pablo would say anything. And he did! Suddenly he began to talk. He told me how hard his life
was, how little money he was paid. He told me that he had a sick child and that he needed to pay
for expensive medicines.
"I didn't know what he was going to say next. But then he told me that he had worked with Lander
before. And he had met Lander in Quenco. It was the day when you saw Amalia talking to Lander
in the square. Lander had offered him a lot of money for the gold mask.
"In the end, Pablo told me he has to meet Lander tonight at 8 o'clock here in Cuzco."
"But that's in two hours," said Ramon.
"Let's set a trap," I said. "Let Pablo meet Lander. We will follow him and catch Lander."
"That sounds too dangerous, Leila," Dr Hafez replied. "Let's call the
police." "
"There isn't time to call the police," I said. "We've got to catch Lander. I promised Amalia. I've got
to do it for her sake."

The Text
An hour later Dr Hafez, Ramon and I were in a car following a taxi through the streets of Cuzco.
The taxi went to a little street in the old part of the city. The taxi stopped. Pablo got out and went
into a house. A few minutes later he came out, called another taxi and went.
We waited. After about half an hour, the door of the house opened and Martin Lander came out.
He got into a small truck parked nearby and drove off. We followed. "I wonder where he's going?"
Dr Hafez said after a few minutes. "I think he's going to the airport," Ramon replied. "But not to the

We followed Lander's truck to the far side of the airport. Everything was dark. Ramon turned off the
car headlights. It would be too easy for Lander to see he was being followed. Lander stopped his
truck, got out and opened two metal gates with a key.
"We have to stop him now," Ramon shouted, "before he gets back into his truck and shuts
the gates again."

Ramon stopped our car fifty metres away. We opened the doors and ran in the darkness towards
Lander. Lander was a big strong man and he would fight. I didn't know if we could stop him. But we
had the advantage of surprise. I only hoped he didn't have a gun. Then T had an idea. The engine
of Lander's truck was running and the door was open. I jumped into the truck, closed the door and
pressed the automatic lock. I put the truck into first gear and drove hard at Lander. He reached
inside his pocket to find something - a gun perhaps, but the truck was getting closer. Lander turned
and ran. Ramon followed. Lander turned a corner. I followed in the truck, the headlights showing
where Lander was. There in front of us was a small single-engine plane. In a flash Lander had

opened the door of the plane and was turning the key to start the engine. Ramon tried to jump onto
the wing of the plane and open the door but the engine suddenly started and the plane began to
move. I didn't know what to do . I had only a second to decide. I put my foot on the accelerator and
drove as hard as I could at the plane. There was a huge crash. The truck hit the side of the plane
and knocked it onto its side. I put the brakes on. I put my arms and head on the steering wheel. I
was shaking.
"He must have hit his head against the roof of the plane." It was Ramon's voice. "He's
knocked out."

Ramon was on the side of the plane which was now up in the air. I'll try to get in," he said. But he
couldn't open the door.I got out of the truck. I could hardly walk.
"Leila, you were wonderful - amazing!" Dr Hafez said. "Don't worry now. I've called the police."And
then I heard the sound of police sirens and saw their blue flashing lights.
"I think that is the end of Mr. Lander's archaeological career," Dr Hafez said. We went back
to the police station. This time I didn't mind going. We told the police exactly what had
happened."We will question Mr. Lander first," the police chief said. "We will let you know what we
find out."
Dr Hafez decided we should go to Quenco to rest for a few days before starting work again. But
first I wanted to see Amalia. We went to the hospital in Cuzco. She was still in bed but she looked
better. We told her the news. She tried to smile. It was not easy for her.

Two days later Ramon took us by car to Quenco. The next day Dr Hafez received a telephone call
from the police chief. "We have found the gold mask and the other things Mr. Lander had stolen,"
he said."Thank goodness!" said Dr Hafez. "Now the project can continue."One morning I was
having breakfast in Quenco with Dr Hafez. I suddenly had a thought. "Dr Hafez," I began. "I'd like
to go back to the village on the road to Acomayo. I'd like to thank the village people who saved
Amalia."
"That's a good idea, Leila," Dr Hafez replied. "Ill ask Ramon to take us. I hope the weather is better
than when you went with Amalia."

We set off. this time the weather 'was perfect. The sun shone and I was able to see the .
mountains and steep valleys. We reached the village. We shook hands with the man and the
women who had helped us. Ramon translated for us. Then I remembered something I had
seen when I walked along the road."Dr Hafez," I said. "I want to show you something. Let's
walk along the road a little.""You're not going to show me two strangers sitting at a
cafe, are you?" he said.I laughed. We walked on a little further. I looked up at the mountain
side. "Look up there, Doctor," I said.He looked up. "Goodness me," he said. "It looks like the
pattern of stone blocks at the Chimu king's tomb. That's amazing."

We returned to Quenco. The next day we started work again. I now only had one more week
before my return to Cairo.
Dr Hafez was very busy. I didn't talk to him for a few days. At last he came to see me.
"Leila," he said. "I sent a team to the village near Acomayo and they think it really is an Inca site.
Our people can't work on that site. We have too much to do here. But when Amalia comes out of
hospital, I want her to lead the team excavating the new site."
That's great news!" I said. "She'll be so pleased."

On the flight to New York, there was no one sitting beside me. And I did not choose a window seat.
But I had so many memories and so much to think about, the time passed quickly. Soon I was on a
plane to Cairo. I was looking forward to seeing Samira and my family.
I saw the familiar skyline of Cairo - the pyramids and the Nile as we came in to land. The plane
landed and the doors were opened. immediately felt the heat. I realised that I had got used to the
coo temperatures of the Andes mountains. But I was so excited to be home
After picking up my luggage I went into the arrivals hall. There were Samira and my parents, And
all around them were photographers! There was a flash of lights and people calling, "Miss ElAssaby!" "Please! Miss El-Assaby." I couldn't believe it.
The next day the newspaper headlines were full of the story of the Egyptian archaeologist who bad
made important discoveries in the land of the Incas. And this archaeologist bad caught a thief who
had stolen valuable artefacts! And she bad discovered a new Inca site. I read all the newspapers
as if in a dream.
They were talking about me!
