The notion that happiness and financial success tend to go hand in hand is,
to my belief,

is true only to a certain extent. People with extremely low or high incomes
tend to be least

happy. An income sufficient to provide for economic security is most

desirable for happiness:

enough to make ends meet comfortably, with some left over to put aside,
but not enough to put you in the wealthy class. Most people tend to be
happier during that period in their lives

when they are climbing the ladder of success, rather than after they have
reached the top.

86- The writer believes that those who have achieved great financial success
________.

a- had to struggle very hard to reach the top

b- are likely to be extremely happy

c- are happier than those who are still trying to achieve it

d- are usually as dissatisfied as those earning very little

e- want to climb the ladder very quickly

87- The writer doesn’t completely agree with the idea that________.

a- people should try to become more successful

b- the very rich and the very poor are not as happy as those in between

c- people ought to put some of their income aside

d- an income sufficient for economic security makes you happy

e- the wealthier the person is, the happier he will be

88- The financial status that the writer favours most is ________.

a- having a very low income as then at least you can be happy

b- either rich or poor, but not in the middle

c- being neither poor nor rich

d- anything, as long as you aren’t happy

e- that which can be described as wealthy

Abbreviations are shortened forms of words or phrases. In the past, when

all writing was

done by hand, abbreviations saved time and space. Today, when so much is
printed about

so many subjects, they serve the same purpose. Certain types of

abbreviations, e.g.

UNESCO, which stands for United Nations Educational, Scientific, and

Cultural Organization,

are also spoken, if easily pronounced. The use of abbreviations dates back
to ancient times,

but widespread use of them has been most acute in the 20

th

century, which is directly related

to the vast increase in information.

89- According to the passage, the function of abbreviations ________.

a- was quite different in the past

b- concerned writing in the past but now it concerns speaking

c- has remained the same since ancient times

d- used to depend on the purpose of the user

e- has varied over the years alongside the increase in information

90- It is clear from the passage that the abbreviation UNESCO ________.

a- is formed by using the initial letters of the words in its name

b- started the tradition of shortening words or phrases.

c- is used in writing more often than in speaking

d- was devised to make the pronunciation of its full form easier

e- has been used since the organization was founded

91- The passage states that using the abbreviated form of a word or
phrase_______.

a- helps us to make ourselves better understood

b- makes pronunciation much easier for us

c- used to be more common in the past

d- enables us to use less time and space e- has made organizations like
UNESCO easily-remembered

World population is increasing at an alarming rate, despite birth control

and family

planning. It is estimated that by the year 2060, the Earth will have 10 billion
people.

Governments, and particularly governments of developing countries, will

face major

challenges to provide for their growing populations. The first and the most
obvious challenge
is to provide an adequate food supply. Next is to build adequate housing.
Severe

unemployment will also be a problem if new jobs are not created in

accordance with the

increasing population. The last, and the possibly most important, is the
challenge of providing

education for everyone.

92- The author believes that ________.

a- the effects of growing populations will be felt worse in developing

countries

b- there will be few developing countries by the year 2060

c- unemployment is more important than shortage of housing

d- it is possible to increase food supply by employing several methods

population

b- some of the current jobs will become outdated in the future as new ones
are created

c- education is the best way to meet the challenge of the world population
growth
d- there will probably be a major world famine during the next century.

e- birth control and family planning won’t be effective ways of controlling

world

population

The growth of video has meant a decline in cinema audiences. Cinema

cannot compete

with the attraction of watching a video at home: it is more comfortable,

easier, and, especially

for a family, much cheaper. Another important factor is flexibility: people

are no longer limited

to particular times and places. Despite this, some people are still loyal to the
cinema. Horror

or science fiction films are better on a large screen, most films are still
available at the

cinema first and for young people, watching a film away from home is very
important.

Cinemas have adapted to cater for this minority audience.

95. The writer states that although video has many advantages, ________.

a- because of the convenience it provides, people spend too much time

watching films

b- video films are not such good quality as the ones shown in the cinemas

c- cinema is still preferred by some people for various reasons

d- it may arouse trouble in the family from the point of different choices

e- people can’t get the same pleasure watching a film as they do at the
cinema

96. In addition to many others, one advantage of the video is that________.

a- it enables people to watch the latest films first b- people can watch it
whenever and wherever they like
c- any cassettes of horror or science fiction films are available

d- parents have complete control over their children’s viewing

e- it appeals to every member of the family

97. The expansion of video has led cinemas _______.

a- to try and show films of better quality in order to compete with the
attraction of video

b- to be faced with financial problems due to the decline in cinema

audiences

c- to make some adjustments to respond to the expectations of their present

audience

d- to compete with each other as to show horror or science fiction films

e- to increase the cost of the tickets as a result of the decrease in their

audience

The Egyptians were one of the first settled civilizations. They wrote down
what they

knew, so the ideas could be passed on. This writing, combined with plentiful
archeological

remains, makes it easier for historians to know about Egyptian medicine.

The Egyptians had

a mixture of supernatural beliefs about the causes and cures, as well as

some common

sense remedies. However, they were willing to investigate, made some

developments in

surgery, anatomy and hygiene. Trade with other countries helped to

increase their

knowledge of herbs and drugs. On the other hand, religion was vitally
important for

Egyptians, and their religious practices both helped and hindered medical
advances.

to ________.

a- define what is meant by ‘ civilization’ and give an example

medicine

about it

d- was open to progress and outside influences
