A combination of sewage, salt, air pollution, sun, sand and wind may destroy the huge statue on the
outskirts of Cairo. This statue of the sun god has the body of a lion and the face of a human being. It is five
thousand years old, but it is too badly damaged to be completely saved.
The statue has already been dug out of the sad three times. However, the latest problems are much
more serious. First, there are no proper drains and water pipes in the neighborhood and the underground
passages round the statue have become blocked. Too much water has been running into the stone statue for
several years. As a result, tiny pieces of salt have been left on the stone and have damaged it.
Secondly, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is also destroying the ancient statue.
The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is making the stone crumble and decay even faster.
Thirdly, the statue is being damaged by extremes of temperature. For example, although the air is
very cold at night, during the day the stone of the statue becomes very hot under the strong sun. Other natural
forces such as serve sandstorms also attack the statue.
Finally, the tourists who visit the statue everyday also cause a lot of damage.
1. The statue is in the center of Cairo.
2. Part of the statue looks like a lion and part like a person.
3. The underground passages round the statue are full of waste and water.
4. High temperatures damage stone far more than low temperature.
5. Fortunately, little damage is caused by visitors to the statue.

Paper is named for papyrus, a reed like plant used by ancient Egyptians as writing material more
than 5000 years ago. The Chinese invented the paper that we use 2000 years ago.
A piece of paper is really made up of tiny fibers, unlike a piece of material. The fibers used in
paper, however, are plant fibers, and there are millions of them in one sheet. In addition to the plant
fiber, dyes and additives such as resin may be used. Dyes can make the paper different colors; resin may
add weight and texture.
Where do these fibers come from ? The majority of paper is made from the plant fiber that comes
from trees. Millions are cut down, but new trees are planted in their place. Paper may be also made from
things like old rags or pieces of cloth. Wastepaper, paper that has been made and used, can be turned into
recycled paper. This recycling process saves forest, energy and reduces air and water pollution.

Dear Sam,
Thanks for your letter telling/ in which you told me that you are coming to London.
I am glad you can come at last- do you think we will be able to meet up?
I can understand you being a bit worried/ that you are a bit worried as I will never forget my first trip abroad.
Anyway, you asked (me) for some advice, and so here goes!
First of all, pack some warm clothes (just) in case it turns cold.
You never know what the weather is going to be like, even in the summer.
And it is definitely worth bringing an umbrella.
As far as money is concerned, the/one golden rule is not to carry too much around with you.
Finally, banks and restaurants open and close at rather strane times and public transport can be unreliable.
(Please) give me a ring when you arrive and we will arrange a get-together.

VII. Read the passage then choose the best answer for the questions.
Ever since humans have inhabited the earth, they have made use of various forms of
communication. Generally, this expression of thoughts and feelings has been in the form of oral speech.
When there is a language barrier, communication is accomplished through sign language in which
motions stand for letters, words, and ideas. Tourists, the deaf, and the mute have had to resort to this
form of expression. Many of these symbols of the whole words are very picturesque and exact and can
be used internationally, spelling, however, cannot. Body language transmits ideas or thoughts by certain
actions, either intentionally or unintentionally. A wink can be a way of flirting or indicating that the
party is only joking. A nod signifies approval, while shaking the head indicates a negative reaction.
Other forms of nonlinguistic language can be found in Braille (a system of raised dots read with
the fingertips), signal flags, Morse code, and smoke signals. Road maps and picture signs also guide,
warm, and instruct people.
While verbalization is most common form of language, other systems and techniques also
express human thoughts and feelings.
1. Which of the following best summarizes this passage?
A. When language is a barrier, people will find other forms of communication
B. Everybody uses only one form of communication
C. Nonlinguistic language is invaluable to foreigners
D. Although other forms of communication exist, verbalization is the fastest

A. There are many forms of communication in existence today
B. Verbalization is the most common form of communication
C. The deaf and mute can use an oral form of communication
D. Ideas and thoughts can be transmitted by body language
4. Which form other than oral speech would be the most commonly used among blind people ?
A. Picture signs
