manner that he forgot to ask his usual question. Instead, he asked her what kind of cigarettes she wanted. The girl
replied promptly and handed him the money. While he was giving her cigarettes, Mr. Kamal said laughingly that

At last firemen have put out fire. Since then, they have been trying to find out how the fire began. Forest fires
are often caused by broken glass or by cigarette ends which people carelessly throw away. Yesterday the firemen
examined the ground carefully, but were not able to find any broken glass. They were also quite sure that a
cigarette end did not start the fire. This morning, however, a fireman accidently discovered the cause. He noticed
the remains of a snake which was wound round the electric wires. In this way, he was able to solve the mystery.
The explanation was simple but very useful. A bird had snatched up the snake from the ground and then drooped it

Q1) A) Read the following text carefully then answer (5) of the following questions. (10 M)
Some plays are so successful that they run for years no end. A famous actor was once cast in the role of an
aristocrat who had been imprisoned for twenty years. In the last act, a jailer would always come on to the stage
with a letter which he would hand it to the aristocrat. The aristocrat always insisted that the letter should be written
out in full. One night the jailer decided to play a joke on his colleague to find out if he had managed to learn the
content of the letter by heart. The curtain went up on the final act of the play. The aristocrat was sitting alone
behind the bars in his dark cell. The jailer appeared with the letter and handed it to the aristocrat. But the copy he
gave him had not been written out as usual. The letter was simply a blank sheet of paper. The jailer looked on
eagerly to see if his fellow actor had at last learned his lines. The aristocrat said "The light is dim. Read the letter
to me." The jailer replied "The light is indeed dim. I must get my glasses." With this, he hurried off the stage. Then
the jailer returned a few minutes later with a pair of glasses and the usual copy of the letter which he proceeded to
read to the aristocrat.

make that room under the ground. The wind never blows strongly here." But then one day there was a very strong
wind, and Fareed and his family had to go down into their room under the ground. They were there for a long time.
