Q3. Reading: [10 Marks]
Read the text and answer the questions that follow:
My neighbor, Mr. Nasir Al-Zaabi, is 100 years old! Mr. Al-Zaabi was born and raised in Saudi Arabia,
but he moved to Dubai in the early 1960s, some years before the creation of the U.A.E in 1971.
Mr. Al-Zaabi has lived in his traditional Arab house for more than 50 years. All his family and neighbors
agree that he looks much younger than his age – so how has he managed to stay in such good shape? “Be
careful what you eat and drink,” says Mr. Al-Zaabi. “I only eat plain food, nothing fancy. I get up early and I
have camel’s milk and dates every day. I never touch modern junk food, and I’ve never drunk caffeine in my
life.” Character is important, too. “I’ve tried to live an honest life. Be generous to others, don’t be selfish.”
Mr. Al-Zaabi worked as a doctor for 40 years and retired in 1989. He’s been married twice, and he has
four children and eight grandchildren. “I live with my grandchildren from my second marriage,” he explains.
“When you’re my age, it’s important to spend time with young people. They help me to feel young and
cheerful.”
These days, Mr. Al-Zaabi has a quiet life. He goes to the mosque five times a day for prayers, and he
spends the rest of his time relaxing at home with his family. He loves Nabati poems (a kind of traditional
Arabic poetry), and local people visit him from time to time to listen to old poems and stories from his long
life.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..
He lived in his traditional Arab house for more than 50 years.
