Read the text carefully then do the following activities:
E-commerce has been dramatically accelerated during COVID-19. More than half (58%) of
consumers admit to buying more goods online than usual due to the pandemic. As a result, e-commerce is
becoming a platform for buying counterfeits by consumers in both developed and developing countries.

As e-commerce sales rise, counterfeiters find more opportunities to make a profit, essentially
stealing sales from legitimate brand owners and potentially harming customers. In 2019, there was an
estimated $509 billion worth of counterfeit products on the global market. Shoppers and retailers are
more vulnerable than ever to online scams given the increased volume of online purchases and putting
consumer health and safety, customer loyalty and company revenue at risk.

One way to guarantee authenticity is to have codes attached to internal packaging ribbons or
product labels, which can reassure customers that they’re buying legitimate products. An invisible code
benefits the brand owner, protecting the company from liability if a consumer is harmed from a
counterfeit product (makeup or skin products).A visible code can authenticate the product instantly by
scanning from a consumer’s smart phone camera. If there was a slip-up in the delivery process, this code
would read as an “error,” notifying the customer this is not a legitimate product.

PART ONE: READING (15pts)

A- Comprehension (08pts)
Read the text carefully then do the following activities:
On a clear night, you might see the moon, some planets, and thousands of sparkling stars. You can
see even more with a telescope. You might see stars where before you only saw dark space. You might
see that many stars look larger than others. You might see that some stars that look white are really red or
blue. With bigger and bigger telescopes, you can see more and more objects in the sky. You can see those
objects in more and more detail.

But scientists believe there are some things in the sky that we will never see. We won’t see them
with the biggest telescope in the world on the clearest night of the year. That’s because they are invisible.
They’re mysterious dead stars called black holes.

You might find it hard to imagine that stars die. After all our sun is a star. Year after year, we see it
up in the sky burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The sun doesn’t seem to be getting old or weak.
But stars do burn out and die after billions or years. As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat.
But when the gas runs out, the star stops burning and begins to die.

A black hole is so tightly that its gravity sucks in everything even light. The light from the black
hole can never come back to your eyes. That’s why you see nothing but blackness; so, remember there is
more in the sky than meets the eye! Scattered in the silent darkness are black holes....The Mystery of
Space.
