Text A:-

========

The capital city of a country is very often its greatest city, with the

largest population and the most important administrative buildings.

Capital cities house government offices, as well as embassies from

other countries. They are also financial centers, containing national

and international banks and other financial institutions.

Amman is no different from other capital cities in this respect it is

the seat of government and the economic and cultural center of

Jordan. Amman has the biggest population of any city in Jordan and

is home to about a third of the people 2.3 million people! Although

many of the buildings are very smart and futuristic, the city actually

has a history going back over 8,000 years. It was only established

as the capital in 1921, but has many ancient buildings.

Brasilia, the capital city of Brazil, is both similar to and different

from Amman. Like Amman, it is an administrative center and contains

the key political buildings and institutions.

However, unlike Amman, Brasilia is not the major cultural or economic

center of Brazil, and with 2.5 million people, it is home to only a tiny

fraction of the huge Brazilian population.

Built in the late 1950s, it is a new city and has only been the capital

of Brazil since 1960. It took over from Rio de Janeiro, which

remains a major economic and cultural center, as well as having a

population of many millions more. Brasilia is a very modern city and

because it is so new, planners were able to strictly regulate its

layout. It is divided into sectors, with specific zones for business,

industry, government and residential areas.

1- According to the first paragraph, state (mention) why is the

capital city of a country is essential (important)?

A: it has the largest population and the most important

administrative buildings

from other countries.2- According to the last paragraph, why Brasilia is considered

to be a very modern city? Mention only one reason.

Because it is so new, planners were able to strictly regulate its

layout.

Text B:

========

Jordan has undergone a period of rapid modernization in the last

Few years, with high-tech and high-rise buildings being built in

Its major cities, especially Amman. Yet it remains an ancient land

That has enjoyed involvement and interaction with many different

Civilizations over the last ten thousand years.

Jordans historical importance means that there is a variety of

traditional crafts practiced by skilled local artisans and, despite

the fast pace of modernization, there are increasing efforts by the

state and by charities to preserve these wonderful traditions.

One example of this can be found in Madaba, where an organization

has been set up to help preserve the world-famous mosaics found

there. These ancient mosaics are made with thousands of tiny pieces

of coloured stone or tile. They give us information about the way

people lived at the time, tell us about old kings and illustrate ancient

maps and pictures of local events. They are very useful for

historians.

Today, local people are taught how to make these mosaics for

commercial sale. This helps to educate people about the need to

protect what is old, while also providing them with a living.

Probably the most ancient craft in Jordan is the creation of items

made from silsal (clay).

Madaba played a major role in trading pottery throughout Europe and

the Arab world and pottery was first made in the Levant over 8000

years ago. Historians have uncovered many examples of fine

Nabataean pottery in both Jordan and the surrounding countries.

Pottery is still produced in the same ancient attractive style by

craftsmen at Madaba today, although modern technology means the

methods have changed slightly. Nevertheless, local artists are still

producing beautiful works worthy of a high price.

1- According to the first paragraph, Jordan has undergone aperiod of rapid modernization, do you agree with this

statement? Justify your answer.

Yes, I do agree with this statement because it has the

High-tech and high-rise buildings being built in its major

cities, especially Amman.

Steve Fossett a record record-breaker in 2002, Steve Fossett

became the first person to travel solo round the world in a hot air

balloon. His balloon, The Spirit of Freedom, used a mixture of helium

and hot air and was 42 meters high and 18 meters wide.

To keep it at a constant altitude, the balloon used a sophisticated

autopilot system controlled by a computer.

Fossetts journey started in Western Australia. From here, he

crossed the Pacific Ocean, travelling in an easterly direction. On

reaching South America, he travelled across Chile and down round

Argentina. He flew over the Southern Atlantic Ocean towards South

Africa, then over the Indian Ocean to reach Australia.

This record-breaking solo journey took only 14 days, 19 hours and 50

minutes altogether, but conditions for Steve Fossett were not

comfortable. He only slept for four hours in every 24-hour period,

and never slept for more than 45 minutes at one time.

Fossett frequently had to leave his tiny cabin to go outside, where

air temperatures were below freezing, in order to check that the

balloons burners were working properly. By the time he arrived in

Australia, he had travelled 33,195 km.

Steve Fossett was especially pleased with this successful round-the-

world journey as it was his sixth attempt. On the journey, Fossett

occasion the balloon travelled at 322.25 kmh. His first attempt had

been six years earlier in 1996.

Text D:

========

When large numbers of people move from their homes in country

areas to find better paid jobs in towns and cities, the villages and

farms they once lived in are often left empty.

No one wants to buy homes there because they cannot make money

out of them. This phenomenon, which is called rural depopulation, canlead to overcrowding in cities as well as for fewer people in country

areas.

One example of this phenomenon is the Garrigues area of Spain,

about one hours drive from Barcelona. The area has a Mediterranean

climate, but because it is high and not close to the sea, winter

temperatures are quite low. The area has an annual rainfall level of

482mm which falls in only 47 days of the year, during the autumn

and spring.

Historically, this was a successful agricultural area; on the higher

ground, the farmers grew almonds and vines, while in the river

valleys, wheat, corn, beans and sunflowers were the traditional

crops. The area was particularly well-known for its high quality

olive oil which was grown mainly for export.

The population of the area was at its highest about 150 years ago,

when a typical village might have 500 inhabitants, whereas now some

villages have as few as 100 permanent inhabitants. But as farming

became less and less profitable, and unemployment grew,


11/25

[email protected]


level ( 0796939361-0777571734) 11

the population began to move to the cities to find work. This trend

started in 1860 and has continued to this day. Now some villages

consist mainly of elderly people. The area is suffering from the

effects of depopulation, such as poor public services and deserted

farms.

In some parts of Europe in recent years, however, the move from

the country to the city has been reversed as wealthy people move to

the countryside to escape from the overcrowding, pollution and stress

of city life. Some are moving permanently, but many are buyingholiday or weekend homes which are empty for much of the year.

1- According to the text, explain in two sentences(using your

own expression) how the public services affect the life of

people.

Because the public services such as transport, education andhealth are very important for people in order not to escape

from their area.

2- According to the second paragraph, mention three things

that were grown by farmers in the area.

Wheat, corn, beans and sunflowers.

3- According to the third paragraph, why the total population in

the area decreased? State only one reasons.

- winter temperatures are quite low

4- According to the last paragraph, why the movement

(transfer) of some people from the country to the city has

been reversed? mention 2 reasons.

a.as wealthy people move to the countryside to escape from

the overcrowding

b.many are buying holiday or weekend homes which are

empty for much of the year.

5- The writer said the population began to move to the cities

to find work is he justified in this? Explain

Yes hes justified in this, because the area is suffering from

the effects of depopulation, such as poor public services and

deserted farms.

6- Find the words in the text which mean the same as empty

because people have left = deserted

something that happens or exists = phenomenon

7- What do the underlined words in the text

(they,they,them,) refer to?

They= (large numbers of) people

They= no one (people)Them= homes

Critical Thinking:-

===============

Rural life isnt bad as some people imagine it, comment on this by

writing your point of view.

Thats true, and logic to say Rural life isnt bad as some people

imagine it because as wealthy people move to the countryside to

escape from the overcrowding, pollution and stress of city life.
