Algeria is beefing up anti-corruption measures within the all-powerful Sonatrach oil company.
The company finds itself at the heart of a huge corruption scandal involving former officials, including
.the company's former CEO, his two sons and several of his associates
Investigation published on Thursday (February 21st) by the Canadian and Italian press revealing
that the Canadian group SNC Lavalin managed to secure oil contracts from Sonatrach under dubious
circumstances. According to the investigation, bribes were allegedly paid to Algerian officials. They
took advantage of their powerful position to secure Sonatrach contracts for foreign companies to which
they had links, and to acquire property and benefits both in Algeria and abroad. These serious events
led the general prosecutor's office at the court of Algiers to instruct the judge overseeing the 2011
Sonatrach corruption case to extend the investigation to these reported new dealings. The so-called
"Sonatrach 2" scandal has stirred up indignation among the political class, community groups and civil
.society in Algeria
The Algerian President also broke his silence on Sunday In a message to Algerian workers on
the occasion of the double anniversary of the nationalisation of the hydrocarbon industry and the
creation of the General Union of Algerian Workers (UGTA). He said that he could not "allow the
scandals recently noted by the press and concerning Sonatrach's management to pass without

PART ONE: Reading (15 points)

A) Comprehension (08 points)
Read the text carefully then do the activities.

Nutrition is the science that deals with food and how the body uses it. People, like all living
things, need food to live. Food supplies the energy for every action we perform, from reading a book to
running a race. Food also provides substances that the body needs to build and repair its tissues and to
.regulate its organs and systems
What we eat directly affects our health. A proper diet helps prevent certain illnesses and aids in
recovery from others. An improper or inadequate diet increases the risk of various diseases. Eating a
balanced diet is the best way to ensure that the body receives all the food substances it needs. Nutrition
experts recommend that the daily diet include a certain number of servings from each of the five
major food groups: (a) breads, cereals, rice, and pasta, (b) vegetables, (c) fruits, (d) milk, yogurt, and
cheese, and (e) meat, poultry, fish, dried beans and peas, eggs, and nuts. Fats are also essential, but,
like sweets, should be eaten in small quantities.
Workers in the field of nutrition oversee school food services, plan menus for hospitalized
patients, and provide nutrition counselling for individuals. They administer international food
programs and investigate the relationship between diet and health. They seek improved ways of
processing, packaging, and distributing foods, and they create new foods.
