5) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
It has become clear in the last decade that in Egypt, the tourism industry
has come to hold a position of great importance. It is felt that it could help
increase the national income and open chances of work before youth.
In some European countries, tourism has brought in millions of dollars
yearly, although they lack the natural and historical attractions we have in
Egypt, the land of glorious past civilization.
We could, for instance, establish tourist villages for children on the Red
Sea. We could teach fishing, swimming, diving and sailing there. Another
good idea would be a village near the pyramids or in the New Valley for horse
riding, and what about villages for people with health problems like
rheumatism? The warm dry climate of Aswan and Helwan would certainly help
them get better and this is called curative tourism.
Our tourist today wants efficient and friendly service. He would probably
prefer to try out samples of our local food than the international meals which
are served in some places of specialties. This would be more interesting than
having the same things he always eats in his country.
It must also be remembered that most tourists nowadays are seldom rich.
Many of them are students or hardworking employees. So what is needed is
not expensive hotels but clean comfortable places to sleep and eat in at
reasonable prices. This, too, would encourage Egyptians to travel more and
more around their lovely county having home tourism.
a. Answer the following questions:
3
4. 1 - Why is tourism important?
2 - Why is Egypt supposed to have flourished and successful tourism?
3 - What is curative tourism?
b. Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
4 - Home tourism means .............................. .
a- people travelling around their own country.
b- serving international meals in our restaurants.
c- establishing expensive hotels.
d- establishing new tourist villages at cheap prices.
5 - To attract more tourists, we should ................................................ .
a- try samples of local food.
b- serve international meals in our restaurants.
c- establish expensive hotels.
d- establish new tourist villages provided with efficient and friendly
service.
6) Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
On a September day in 1991, two Germans were climbing the mountains
between Austria and Italy. High up on a mountain pass, they found the body
of a man lying on the ice. At that height (3,200 metres) the ice is usually
permanent. But 1991 had been an especially warm year. The mountain ice
had melted more than usual and so the body had come to the surface.
It was lying face downward. The skeleton was in perfect condition, except
for a large wound in the head. There was still skin on the bones and the
remains of some clothes. The hands were still holding the wooden handle of
an axe. On the feet there were simple leather and cloth boots. Nearby, there
was a pair of gloves made of tree bark and a holder for arrows.
Who was this man? How and when had he died? Everybody had a
different answer to these questions. The mountain climbers who had found
the body said it seemed thousands of years old. But others thought that it
4
5. might be before this century. Perhaps it was the body of a soldier who died in
world war 1. In fact several World War 1 soldiers had already been found in
that area of the mountains. On the other hand, a Swiss woman believed it
might be her father. He had died in these mountains 20 years before and his
body had never been found.
a) Answer the following questions:
1 - Why did this body appear in 1991?
2 – Why did the two Germans go there?
3 – Write words from the passage that mean:
a) apart from b) 100 year
b) Choose the correct answer:
6 - Before 1991, this body was ( in another place – buried deeply in ice –
invisible because of decay – not searched for ).
7 - The underline word ‘permanent’ in the first paragraph means
(constant – distant – disastrous – limited).

2 – Why didn’t Gulliver approve of having more people of his size in

3 – What did Captain Wilcocks first think of Gulliver?
4 – How did Gulliver feel about people in his country on his way home?
