Carrying a backpack can be hazardous to your health. Just ask Jordan Morgan, “One time I fell
off my bike and bruised my leg because my backpack was too heavy,” says Jordan. He weighs 100
pounds. His backpack, loaded with four books, a calculator, a binder, paper, glue, and gym clothes,
can weigh 20 pounds! “Sometimes I have to stop and rest because it’s too heavy.”
Jordan isn’t the only one who needs to lighten his load. In October 1999, the American Academy
of Orthopedic Surgeons reported that thousands of kids have back, neck, and shoulder pain caused
by their heavy backpacks. They surveyed more than 100 physicians and more than half said they
have treated kids for pain and muscle fatigue caused by backpacks.
Half the doctors in the survey said a backpack can do some damage if it weighs 20 pounds or more.
A study showed that, on average, kids carry a backpack that weighs 10 percent of what they weigh.
How should you carry a heavy load? Use both shoulder straps, place the heaviest items closest
to your back, and bend both knees when lifting. If you have lots to carry, try a backpack with hip
straps or wheels. Jordan Morgan is packing lighter now and feeling better. Says Jordan, “I don’t fall
anymore or hurt myself.”

Section (1)
The real-life story of Cleopatra, a beautiful 17-year-old girl when she became the powerful ruler
of ancient Egypt, has fascinated people for thousands of years. Parts of her ancient royal court have
been found near Alexandria, Egypt. All of these ruins are underwater. Ancient Egyptian writings and
drawings show that Cleopatra owned a royal palace on an island named Antirhodos. The island was
near Alexandria, the capital city of Egypt during Cleopatra’s reign in the first century B.C.
Although the city of Alexandria still exists today, floods and earthquakes buried Antirhodos under
water more than 1,600 years ago. In 1996, undersea explorer Franck Goddio found it beneath just 18
feet of water, off the shore of Alexandria. He found statues, columns, pavement, and pottery buried
in layers of mud. These were the ruins of Cleopatra’s palace. Cleopatra and her brother Ptolemy
began to rule Egypt together in 51 B.C. In keeping with royal custom, the brother and sister were
married! But Ptolemy did not want to share the throne and he forced Cleopatra out of the palace.
The quick-witted young woman saw her chance to regain power when Rome’s main leader, Julius
Caesar, travelled to Egypt. In order to meet with him, Cleopatra is said to have sneaked into the
palace rolled up in a carpet! Caesar soon fell in love with Cleopatra. He helped her push Ptolemy
aside and take control of Egypt.
After Caesar was murdered by his enemies, a new Roman leader, Mark Antony, met Cleopatra.
Just like Caesar before him, Antony fell in love with her. He moved into Cleopatra’s palace at
Antirhodos. Soon people back in Rome feared that Antony was more interested in Egypt than in
his own empire. They turned against him and Egypt and sent a huge army by sea, which eventually
defeated Egypt. In despair, Cleopatra and Antony took their own lives. Ancient Egypt’s last queen
died at the age of 39.

They are older than the dinosaurs, older than nearly everything else on Earth. They have been
used to cut glass, cure snakebites, and charm kings and queens. Famed for their flashing beauty,
diamonds are the hardest substances on Earth and among the most useful. “Diamonds help us
understand the history of the earth,” says geologist George Harlow.
Today, diamonds are mined on every continent except Europe and Antarctica. South Africa once
shone as the diamond capital of the world. Now Australia is the king of diamonds, producing 39%
of the gems found each year. Thanks to new methods of finding gems, mines were opened just a few
years ago in Canada and Colorado.
Digging for diamonds is an expensive and exhausting operation. Miners may dig through about
250 tons of rock to find just one stone. The 80% of diamonds found each year that are too flawed,
oddly shaped, or too small for jewels are still valuable. These stones, called industrial diamonds,
are used to create thousands of products, from protective eyeglasses to computer chips. Every day,
workers cut, grind, scrape, or shape runways, building materials, and streets using diamonds’ hard
edges. Dentists drill through tooth enamel quickly with diamond-tipped tools, and doctors perform
surgery with diamond-edged scalpels.
Most businesses no longer buy costly natural diamonds. They have switched to synthetic, or man-
made, diamonds. In 1955, researchers at General Electric figured out how to imitate the conditions
of heat and pressure that turn carbon into diamond. The discovery made diamonds cheaper and
easier to shape for all kinds of purposes.

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 population will double
in 25 years. There will be more than 20 cities with population 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 for anything, not even
growing grass. Another major problem we shall have to face as the world’s population grows is
a 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.

One evening Jim and Mary Brue were in their London flat. They had just finished dinner and
Mary was reading the evening newspaper, while Jim was doing the washing up. Mary noticed
an advertisement for a new supermarket. “What did you say?” asked Jim. “I think I’ll go shopping
there. I should save about a pound,” Mary answered. Jim liked Mary’s idea. He favoured anything
that might solve their financial problems. The rent of their flat was very high, and they had not
been able to find a cheaper one. Jim hoped that Mary had at last found the answer to their financial
problems. The next morning Jim went to the local hospital where he had an interview for a post.
When he returned home, Mary was back from her shopping trip. “Did you get the job?” Mary asked.
“Yes” Jim replied. “I’ll be starting on the first of next month.” Jim was entirely happy with his new
post. The salary was a bit higher but he was going to do a lot of night duty. “Was your shopping
trip successful?” he asked. “Oh, yes.” Mary said. “Prices at the supermarket are much lower than at
the local shops.” Jim noticed two large shopping bags full of groceries on the table. “How did you
manage to carry all that on the bus?” he asked. “Oh, I didn’t have to,” Mary replied. “I took a taxi.
And I had saved so much on the groceries, I bought a new hat. Isn’t it lovely?” Jim laughed. “It’s
very nice,” he said quietly.

In most countries, men usually have heart diseases more than women do. Doctors say that heart
diseases are related to daily life pressure, cares of jobs, daily lifestyle and the type of food. Although
people may pass by troubles of the same degree and kind, they really react differently to them.
Perhaps, men suffer much more because they do not cry enough when they are under the pressure
of a certain problem. Men all over the world, think that they are supposed to be strong, crying;
however, shows their inner weakness.
Scientists say that man’s body produces various multi-functional forms of tears; although these
tears happen due to a chemical process, they differ in their functions. One kind does the function
of cleaning out the eyes from the dirt regularly; this will consequently support their ability to fight
a possible infection by any eye disease, the other protects the eyes against any other unfavourable
visitors to enter them. On the other hand, tears sometimes warn man that his eyes are exhausted after
a long stay in front of the screen of a computer and the TV, reading too much and being exposed
to light or heat. But when man cries, because of strong feelings or some kind of mood, the result
would be producing tears with a new function. In this case, tears, in fact, stand for a language that
expresses hidden feelings and at the same time play an important role in making man feel at ease
and comfortable. In this process, our eyes are getting rid of some poisonous chemicals that may hurt
them; on the other hand, the blood produces positive chemicals to save man from depression.
Therefore, it is unlikely that anyone, who manages to deal with a hard situation by freeing his
tears, will suffer from any bad effects on his heart.

In my project, I have to write about three powerful women in history. It is not easy to decide
who to write about because there have been many important women! However, I’m going to start
with Hatshepsut, who was the ruler of ancient Egypt for longer than any other woman. She was the
daughter of Thutmose I. During her time as Pharaoh, she helped to build many important buildings,
started trade with new countries and won some important wars. She died in around 1458 BCE.
Archaeologists did not know very much about Hatshepsut until the nineteenth century. This might
be because pictures and sculptures of the Pharaoh show her as a man. Next, I want to write about
Emperor Wu Zetian. Wu Zetian had a good education. She was the ruler of China in the first century
BCE and helped to improve Chinese people’s education. Wu Zetian, who died at the age of 80, also
helped to improve China’s agriculture. In that way, there was enough food for everyone to eat. She
is impressive because she is the only woman in China to have ruled as an emperor.
Finally, I will include Britain’s Queen Victoria who ruled from 1837 to 1901. She was a respected
Queen for 63 years at a time when Britain was the most powerful country in the world. She was also
a wife and the mother of nine children. The Queen insisted on a law to stop people using slaves in
1838. She was also responsible for reducing the number of hours that people had to work in factories.

Hi Dalia,
You asked me to tell you about the interview that I had, on Tuesday. It did not start very well.
My appointment was at eight o’clock so I had to get up very early. Then there was a downpour as I
was walking to the office so I was very wet when I arrived. However, there were two other people
who were there for interviews too, and they also got wet! When it was my turn, the manager was
very friendly. He looked at my CV and said that I had excellent qualifications. Then he asked me to
describe myself. I said that I was sociable and conscientious. He asked me if I spoke any languages.
I told him that I spoke English fluently. Then he asked me if I had done any volunteering. I told him
that I often helped at a local charity for poor and disadvantaged children. He also asked me about
my free time activities. I told him that I enjoyed weightlifting. He said that he found that surprising,
but also impressive! He asked me why I wanted to work for his company. I explained that it had a
very good reputation and that I had always wanted to work as a tour guide in a big organisation. At
the end of the interview, he said that I was an excellent candidate and I was qualified to do the job.
He explained that he would make up his mind about who would get the job in the next few days.
I really hope that I get it.
Write soon.
Best wishes,
Ola

Teenagers today live in a very competitive world. It is more important than ever to succeed
at school if you hope to have a chance in the job market afterwards. It’s no wonder that many
young people worry about letting down their parents, their peers and themselves. In trying to please
everyone. They take on too many tasks until it becomes harder and harder to balance homework
assignments, parties, sports activities and friends. The result is that young people suffer from stress.
There are different ways of dealing with stress. Everyone knows that caffeine, whether it is in the
form of coffee or soft drinks, keeps you awake and alert. But caffeine is a drug which can become
addictive. In the end, like other drugs, caffeine only leads to more stress. A better way to deal with
stress is to exercise: Research has proved that physical exercise is a good release for stress, because
it increases certain chemicals in the brain which calm you down. Enough sleep is also an important
way of avoiding stress and of staying healthy and full of energy.
Another way to avoid stress is by managing your time effectively. It is better to do a few tasks
really well, than lots of tasks badly. Know your limits and try not to take on too much. Finally, if it
all gets beyond your control, don’t panic or get hysterical.

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 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 world’s food problems.
23 Why do you think the scientists believe that without GM foods, the Third World will never overcome
its food problem?

While I was walking along the road the other day I happened to notice a small brown leather purse
lying on the pavement. I picked it up and opened it to see if I could find out the owner’s name. There
was nothing inside it except some small change and a rather old photograph, a picture of a woman
and a young girl about twelve years old, who looked like the woman’s daughter. I put the photograph
back and took the purse to the police station, where I handed it to the sergeant in charge. Before I left,
the sergeant made a note of my name and address in a book in case the owner of the purse wanted to
write and thank me.
That evening I went to have dinner with an uncle and aunt of mine. They had also invited another
person, a young woman, so that there would be four people at table. The young woman’s face was
familiar, but I could not remember where I had seen it. I was quite sure that we had not met before.
In the course of conversation, however, the young woman happened to remark that she had lost her
purse that afternoon. I at once remembered where I had seen her face. She was the young girl in the
photograph, although she was now much older. Of course she was very surprised when I was able to
describe her purse to her. Then I explained that I had recognised her face from the photograph I had
found in the purse. My uncle insisted on going round to the police station immediately to claim the
purse. As the police sergeant handed it over, he said that it was a remarkable coincidence that I had
found not only the purse but also the person who had lost it.

Final Tests Section (2)
Reading a newspaper is different from reading a book. Newspapers are organised and written
in a special way, a way that enables the reader to select exactly what he or she wants to read.
For example, the news and stories are grouped into sections; on business, sports, entertainment,
local and international news, etc. Then the articles are evaluated by the newspaper staff as to their
importance within the section. The most important news or stories appear at the beginning. The
front page of a newspaper usually has an index listing the sections and page numbers. The headlines,
the dark, large titles serve two purposes; they tell the reader what the article is about. Headlines help
the readers choose the articles that they want to read. The opening paragraph of a news article is
called the lead; it contains all the essential facts of the story. A reader in a hurry could read only the
headline and the first paragraph of a story and know the most important information. The rest of the
article consists of more - but less important - details, and the closing paragraph contains the least
important information. Newspapers also have a special style of writing. The paragraphs are short,
so they are easy to read in a column. Newspapers are generally printed in columns so they can be
read faster than a line across the page. Newspapers are written to be read efficiently by the reader.
Whatever the reader’s interests or needs, he or she can satisfy them more quickly by understanding
how a newspaper is organised.

In the early decade of the twentieth century, German was one of the most important languages
of scientific communication. A scientist did not need the knowledge of any other language to stay
abreast of current developments in his/her field. But a recent survey shows that scientists are using
German less and less, and are switching over to English. Even in the field of medicine, where on the
whole, German still occupies a place of importance, the general trend is towards English.
Greek was the language in which medical treatises appeared. In the Middle Ages, Latin was the
language of learning in the countries of Europe. In the eighteenth century, the national languages
displaced Latin. In Germany, doctors began to use German. Now, in the last thirty years, there
has been a further change. English has become the best, perhaps the only medium, through which
communication with a wider audience is feasible.

What interests many people is the possibility of finding an Earth-like planet, and many science
fiction stories have been woven around the possibility of there existing a planet somewhere in the
universe which is an exact replica of the Earth.
There are too many variable quantities for this to be a possibility worth considering. What is
possible, if planetary systems are common as they seem to be, is the existence of planets where the
conditions are similar to conditions on the Earth and to which our form of life could rapidly adapt. If
life had gained a foothold on such a planet, it is possible that life closely paralleling our own planet
could have developed.
What sort of conditions is necessary for life as we know it to develop? First of all of course a
suitable planetary body is essential. Given this, then two vital conditions must be satisfied. The
temperature must neither be too hot nor too cold, since intense heat breaks down organic molecules
and severe cold prevents activity from going on. Too much short-wave radiation also upsets living
organisms. The other prerequisite is a suitable atmosphere sufficiently dense to give protection from
radiation and meteorites and containing oxygen and water vapour in reasonable quantities.
22 If you have the ability to live in another planet, which one will you choose? Why?

Have you ever noticed strange bumps on stems, leaves, flowers or tree branches? Well, they are
part of the plant and grown by the plant, but they are homes for tiny insects! These bumps are called
galls. Insects form galls. The plant does not decide to grow them. Typically, a female insect lays her
eggs on a plant. After the baby insects hatch, special chemicals are left on the plant. These special
chemicals cause the plant to bubble up and form a gall. Once a gall has grown, the insects have a
safe place to live and eat, or do they?
Other animals, besides insects, benefit from galls. Galls are also great places for birds and small
animals to find a meal. Woodpeckers, squirrels, mice and bat all use galls as a source for a tasty
insect snack. If a gall has a large hole poked into it, a larger creature may have stopped for a bite.
Now that you know what a gall is, you will probably begin to notice them everywhere. Look
around. You may even decide to break open a gall and take a peek inside. If the gall has a little hole,
the owner has probably left. Can you believe it? A little house for an insect made by a plant?
23 In your opinion, how can we get rid of insects without harming the environment?

The children stopped chatting as Miss Hughes entered the classroom. Then they stood up as one
body and said in a loud chorus: “Good morning, teacher.” Miss Hughes smiled, said good morning
too and told the class to sit down. At a glance, there seemed to be about thirty-five pupils in the
class. The majority were girls. She noticed several intelligent faces. All the pupils were watching her
intently, waiting no doubt to find out what sort of person she was “I suppose you want to know my
name,” she said. But before she could tell them, someone in the class called out, “It’s Miss Hughes.”
Everybody laughed. Miss Hughes laughed too. “News travels quickly,” she said. “I’m afraid it will
take me longer to learn all your names.”Miss Hughes opened the attendance register and called their
names in turn. When she came to the last name on the list, John Young, she noticed that he had been
absent for over a month. “What’s the matter with John Young?” she asked, looking up. “He’s in
hospital, Miss Hughes,” said a fair-haired girl In the front row. “He’s broken his leg.”
“He slipped on the ice,” added one of the boys. “Has anyone been to see him in hospital? Miss
Hughes asked. No one replied. It was time to start the lesson. “Now let me see,” said Miss Hughes,
looking at the timetable. “The first lesson is English.” “Oh! Please tell us a story,” begged one of the
girls. Several of the pupils repeated this. Miss Hughes smiled. “Very well,” she said. “But first of
all I want you to write a letter to John Young. We’ll send the best ones to cheer him up in hospital.
Afterwards I’ll tell you a story, if you’re good.” “They were all writing busily when Miss Hughes
slipped out of the classroom to fetch a book which she had left in the staff room. She passed the
headmistress in the corridor. “Any trouble from that class?” the headmistress asked. “Not so far.”
said Miss Hughes confidently. “They all seem very well behaved.”

In the 1920s, new technology allowed filmmakers to attach to each film a soundtrack of speech,
music and sound effects synchronised with the action on the screen. These sound films were initially
distinguished by calling them talking pictures, or talkies. The next major step in the development
of cinema was the introduction of color. While the addition of sound to film revolutionised the
medium, quickly driving out silent movies, color was adopted more gradually. The public was
relatively indifferent to color photography as opposed to black and white.
But as color processes improved and became as affordable as black and white film, more and
more movies were filmed in color after the end of World War II, as the industry in America came
to view color an essential to attracting audiences in its competition with television, which remained
a black-and-white medium until the mid-60s. By the end of the 1960s, color had become the norm
for filmmakers.

Many people are naturally worried that the earth’s natural resources are being used up by our
modern lifestyle. For all our sakes, they tell us to try and remember the three “R’s”: reduce, reuse
and recycle. Using cloth towels instead of paper towels will reduce the amount of rubbish, and
turning off the lights, a television when not using them will save electricity. Remember that creating
electricity needs minerals which will run out one day. Taking a shower instead of a bath is another
way to save water. And riding a bike instead of driving will save petrol. Reusing something will stop
you from throwing it away. Washing our plastics, bottles and bags means you can use them again.
Instead of throwing broken toys away, we can fix them or give them to someone else. Recycling
different items stops wasting things. Products such as aluminium cans, glass, plastic containers,
rubber and paper can be recycled and used to make other products. Moreover, this will reduce the
amount of rubbish.

first time. It is true that more women are currently employed than ever before. However, the goals
of equal work opportunity for women have not been fully realised.
For a number of reasons; they hold low-ranking positions, the last to be employed and the first
to be fired when employment drops off. They usually get lower-paying positions than men, even if
they were doing the same work. Certainly, great efforts have been made towards equality, but the
problem of reaching this goal is becoming increasingly clear all the time. Although women have
come a long way, they still have a long way to go for equal opportunity.
Women in China now receive equal pay for equal work, therefore they are not dependent on their
families as they once were. In the field of medicine they are nearly half of all the doctors there.
On the other hand in many countries women now work as scientists, medical workers, welders,
electrical workers, oil-well operators, vegetable growers and members of the armed forces.

Long ago there was a ruler called the Duke of Ferrara, who for many years had been suffering
from an illness which seemed to be incurable. The whole court was sad, but no one grieved more
than Gonella, the Duke’s faithful jester. Finally, the doctors said that if anyone were bold enough to
give the Duke a sudden fright, it might cure him.
Out of love for his master, Gonella agreed to risk the Duke’s anger and administer the fright.
So one day, while they were walking in the grounds, he suddenly pushed his master into the lake.
The Duke was of course promptly rescued, and to everyone’s joy it was found that the shock had
completely cured him.
Unfortunately, he was angry with Gonella for playing this trick on him, and planned to give jester
a fright in return. He ordered Gonella to be put in prison and then sentenced him to death. On the day
of execution the poor frightened jester was blindfolded and made to lay his head on the block. Then
the executioner, at the Duke’s order, instead of the axe let a single drop of water fallen his neck. All
the onlookers laughed merrily at the Duke’s joke. But the jester did not rise. When the executioner
lifted him up, it was found that he was dead from shock.

Computers are a major technological breakthrough of the twenty-first century. Their benefits are
numerous; yet, much can be said against them. The main disadvantage of a computer is that staring
at a screen for long periods of time can be damaging to the eyes and sitting for hours at a time is
certainly not healthy. Secondly computers distract from social interactions such as conversation.
People can be inclined to become anti-social and stay at home to use their computer. Finally,
one of the major arguments against the use of computers is that the more jobs which are done by
computers, the fewer are done by people. However, the advantages of computers are numerous,
such as the undeniable educational benefits, especially to children. School subjects become more
interesting when presented on a computer screen. Moreover, computers can be fun with a seemingly
endless variety of games which can be played on them. In addition, computers are valuable to
any business, making life easier and saving time by being capable of storing and retrieving vast
amounts of information at the touch of a button. Furthermore, personal gains can be seen as the use
of computers increases powers of concentration. To sum up, there are strong arguments both for and
against the use of computers.

A multi-national firm wanted to engage a result-oriented bright young man in the top position
of their sales department. In order to avoid personal bias and to ensure fairness, it was decided that
all the applications would be screened by a computer and the applicant who was given the highest
ranking by the computer was to be appointed.
As there was just one vacancy and three young men secured the identical highest score it was
decided that the candidate coming up with the correct answer was to get the job. The question placed
before the candidate was the same. “How much do two plus two make?”
The first candidate who belonged to the middle class gave a brief reply, “four”, he said and
stood respectfully. The second candidate came from the business community. He said shrewdly.
“The answer can be either three or five. It depends on whether you are buying or selling.” The
third candidate was from the higher strata of the society. His suave reply was “well gentlemen, the
answer can be whatever you want it to be. I can make it anything from zero to infinity, according to
your requirements.” It was difficult to guess who got the job.

Philadelphia is a city known for many things. It is where the Declaration of Independence was
signed in 1776, and it was also the first capital of the United States. But one fact about Philadelphia
is not so well-known: it is home to nearly 3,000 murals painted on the sides of homes and buildings
around the city. In fact, it is said that Philadelphia has more murals than any other city in the world,
with the exception of Rome. How did this come to be?
More than 20 years ago, a New Jersey artist named Jane Golden started a program pairing
troubled youth with artists to paint murals on a few buildings around the city. From this small
project, something magical happened. The young people involved helped to create magnificent
pieces of art, but there were other, perhaps more important benefits. The young people learned to
collaborate and get along with many different kinds of people during the various steps required to
paint and design a mural. They learned to be responsible, because they needed to follow a schedule
to make sure the murals were completed. They also learned to take pride in their community. It is
hard for any resident to see the spectacular designs and not feel proud to be a part of Philadelphia.
Take a walk around some of the poorest neighbourhoods in Philadelphia, neighbourhoods full of
broken windows and littered front steps, and you will find beautiful works of art on the sides and
fronts of buildings. Of course the murals are not just in poor neighbourhoods, but more affluent ones
as well. Special buses take tourists to different parts of the city to see the various murals, which
range from huge portraits of historical heroes, to cityscapes, to scenes depicting the diverse ethnic
groups that call Philadelphia home.
As a result of its success, the mural program created by Jane Golden has now become the nation’s
largest public art program and a model for other cities throughout the country seeking to help
troubled youth.

The problem of overpopulation, which Egypt faces today, is considered one of the problems
of the hour. It is considered a fierce challenge that faces our society. Let’s examine this serious
problem together in some aspects. On one hand, progress in science and in medical health is an
important factor that has contributed to the growth of the problem. In the past, people often died
of some diseases because they were ignorant of how they should be cured. Nowadays, progress in
medicine provides the remedies, decreasing the rate of death. On the other hand, the birth rate is
still increasing. Thus a simple equation would prove that a decrease in death rates plus an increase
in birth rates equals an increase in population. This huge increase in population swallows up every
increase in production. The problem is endless because one thing leads to another. Here are some
suggestions, which may provide solutions to this serious problem. We should start by going to the
desert land and building new cities. Birth control is one solution. The media (the TV, the radio and
the newspapers) remind us constantly of the necessity of birth control. We have to see our dear
country in happiness and prosperity.

Heba had worked in nursing for many years. She was in charge of four other nurses and she was
respected by each member of staff at the hospital. It was difficult and sometimes very stressful work.
She was responsible for the health of a lot of people. However, she always felt happy when people
recovered and finally went home again. She always found this very rewarding. She worked such
long hours that it was sometimes difficult to be sociable after work. She usually went home and
watched a film on television with her family. She found this a good way to unwind.
It was a Tuesday morning. Heba had started work very early that day and she was doing her regular
check of the patients. She gave them their medicine and made sure that they were comfortable. Then
she went to check a new patient. He was in a private room, separate from the other patients. He was
a man who had been sent to the hospital the night before after a bad traffic accident.
Heba looked at the man, who was unconscious when he first arrived. Heba had seen him before.
He was a famous actor who everybody in her family knew and liked. The doctor said that he had
suffered a bad head injury from the crash. He was so ill that he would have to stay in hospital for
many weeks. But something was very strange. Heba had seen him in a film the week before. In the
film, he had to go to hospital after an accident, and he had later died. Heba didn’t want that to happen
in her hospital!

People are trying many ways to solve the problem of finding “green 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.
24 How can a station in the space be economical in the long run?

For two months, I have been trying to decide who makes the best ice cream. I have narrowed
it down to my four favourite manufacturers: Randolph Farms, Goodies, Disco, and Twinkle. Let’s
start with Randolph Farms. Randolph Farms makes very good ice cream. They have lots of different
flavours, but this doesn’t really matter to me. That’s because I always get coffee flavour. They make
the best coffee ice cream in the world. I’ve never had hot coffee (the drink) but people tell me that
Randolph Farms coffee ice cream tastes just like the real thing. Also, Randolph Farms uses all
natural ingredients to make their ice cream. This is a good idea, I think. Second, we have Goodies.
Goodies makes excellent ice cream. Like Randolph Farms, Goodies uses all natural ingredients.
They only make three different flavours—strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate — but they make them
very well. The strawberry is amazing. Every bite of it reminds me of the strawberries that I used to
pick behind my old house. The vanilla is wonderful. It is very smooth and has a refreshing, creamy
taste. The chocolate is outstanding. It is made with real cocoa beans from Bolivia. I didn’t know
where Bolivia is so I decided to look for it on a map. After hunting awhile, I discovered that it is in
South America! That’s a long way to go to get cocoa, so it must be good. I would say that the only
drawback to Goodies ice cream is that they only make three different flavours. Third, we have Disco.
Disco ice cream is okay. They don’t have many good flavours. Actually, the only Disco flavour I
like is Bubble gum. It is vanilla ice cream with little hunks of bubble gum in it. After you eat the ice
cream, you can blow bubbles with the gum. That’s pretty fun. Finally, there is Twinkle. Twinkle ice
cream is mediocre. The only good thing about Twinkle is that it is relatively inexpensive. You can
buy a whole carton of Twinkle ice cream for $4.50. That’s only two weeks’ allowance for me.

The Chinese invented paper, and they were also the first to use paper banknotes for money.
Before paper notes were invented in the seventh century, wealthy Chinese traders had used metal
coins. These had a hole in the middle so that traders could carry them on pieces of material. But these
were very heavy to carry. As a result, traders left the money with someone they trusted. Instead, they
carried a piece of paper which said how much money they had. The trader could use this paper note
to promise anyone that they could pay for the goods that they wanted to buy.
People in Europe only started to use paper banknotes in the seventeenth century. In England, the
King needed money to help fight a war with France. Banks encouraged people to leave money with
them and gave handwritten notes saying how much money they had left. The notes said, “I promise
to pay the bearer the sum of …” and you can still see the same words on English notes today. Bank
workers continued to hand write notes until 1853, when the first notes were printed.
The paper used for banknotes is usually made from a mixture of paper and cotton, and sometimes
other materials. Although these other materials make the notes stronger than normal paper, most
banknotes only last for about two years. For this reason, some countries tried using plastic notes in
1983. However, the first plastic notes in England were not very successful because the ink came off
the notes onto people’s hands! Five years later, in 1988, Australia successfully used plastic notes
for the first time. Today, many countries use plastic notes, which are stronger than paper notes, last
longer and are harder to copy.

The human body is like a machine that is moving and working all the time. All machines need
fuel to give them energy. The fuel for the human body is food and most of the energy comes from
two substances in our food, they are carbohydrates and fats. Carbohydrates are found in food like
potatoes, bread, rice, wheat, corn and sugar. Fats come from food like cheese, butter, oil and meat.
Energy in food is measured in calories. For example, an apple has about 40 calories, and an egg
has about 80, a fresh date has 15, and a tomato has around 12. Carbohydrates and fats have a lot of
calories. For instance, a tin of soft drink, which contains a lot of sugar, has 145, a piece of Arab bread
has 165, and only one spoonful of cooking oil has 120 calories. You need about 40 calories a day
for each kilo that you weigh. So, if you weigh 60 kilos, you will need about 2400 calories per day.
If a person eats more calories than he needs, his body stores the extra calories as fat. A person who
gets all the calories he needs in his meals but in addition drinks only one tin of soft drink a day may
gain five kilos per year. Unfortunately, food which contains carbohydrates is usually cheaper than
other food and it is often convenient and attractive. All “junk food” contains lots of carbohydrates
and fats. If your diet contains a lot of junk food, you will probably get fat.

It is bad to have food stuck between your teeth for long periods of time. This is because food
attracts germs, germs produce acid, and acid hurts your teeth and gums. Flossing helps to remove
the food that gets stuck between your teeth. This explains why flossing helps to keep your mouth
healthy, but some doctors say that flossing can be also good for your heart.
It may seem strange that something you do for your teeth can have any effect on your heart.
Doctors have come up with a few ideas about how flossing works to keep your heart healthy. One
idea is that the germs that hurt your teeth can leave the mouth and travel into your blood. Germs that
get into the blood can then attack your heart. Another idea is based on the fact that when there are
too many germs in your mouth, the body tries to fight against these germs. For some reason, the way
the body fights these mouth germs may end up weakening the heart over time.
Not every doctor agrees about these ideas. Some doctors think that the link between good flossing
habits and good heart health is only a coincidence. A coincidence is the occurrence of two or more
events at one time apparently by mere chance. The incidence of these events is completely random,
as they do not admit of any reliable cause and effect relationship between them. For example, every
time I wash my car, it rains. This does not mean that when I wash my car, I somehow change the
weather. This is only a coincidence. Likewise, some doctors think that people who have bad flossing
habits just happen to also have heart problems, and people who have good flossing habits just
happen to have healthy hearts. The theory that flossing your teeth helps to keep your heart healthy
might not be true. But every doctor agrees that flossing is a great way to keep your teeth healthy. So
even if flossing does not help your heart, it is sure to help your teeth. This is enough of a reason for
everyone to floss their teeth every day.
