Passage One

Before the days of wireless and airplanes, no message could be carried


faster than pigeons. Carrier pigeons are birds that have made history. They
have helped man in peace and saved his life in wars. Six thousand years ago,
the ancient Egyptians used them in carrying messages. Later, in ancient
Greece news of the Olympic Games was carried by pigeons.
Governments in different nations passed laws not to shoot them.
Rewards were given to those who kill birds that might attack pigeons. One of
the most popular ways to send messages was to wrap the paper round the
bird's leg and tie the paper with an elastic band.
The carrier pigeons were trained when they were one year old. They
were taken in baskets and set free at farther distances. The pigeons usually
came back safely to their nests. No one knows the secret of this amazing
power.

Passage Two

When you drive your car, there are many rules to follow. Your car
should be in a good condition. You should check the amount of petrol in your
car, otherwise it may stop suddenly in the middle of a crowded street
causing a lot of trouble. Adjust the mirror to be sure that no one is parking
behind you. Don't forget to measure the level of oil in your engine and be
sure the battery is working properly. The tyres should be checked before
moving. If you neglect that, you will have to face the trouble of changing the
flat tyre by yourself.
If you don't check your wipers, you will be sorry. It might rain suddenly
and spoil your trip. You have to check the brakes also or you will bang
against the first tree in front of you. Don't forget to fasten your seat belts, or
you'll pay a fine. After all these precautions, do you still want to drive a car?

Passage Three

Mrs. Fox's husband has been killed in the war and one of her sons in an
accident. For many years, Mrs. Fox had to work to support herself and her
remaining son, Hill. One morning, Mrs. Fox received a letter from her lawyer
telling her that her rich uncle had died in Canada and left her a large amount
of money. Now, everything is changed in Mrs. Fox's life. She bought two
flats, one for herself and one for her son.
Mrs. Fox rang Hill after supper. After Hill had said hello to his mother,
she heard him put the telephone down on the table. Then, she heard angry
voices. The noise increased and she heard the sound of breaking furniture,
low cries and finally she heard a shot. She shouted into the telephone again,
but there was a terrible silence. Mrs. Fox at once ran up the police.
Five minutes later, two policemen were running up the flat. When Hill
opened the door, the policeman pushed him away looking for signs of blood.
Suddenly the officer laughed when he looked at the radio. In fact, the sound
of the shot was coming from a play on the radio. Hill could not answer his
mother because he was busy paying the milkman at the door.

Answer the following questions:


1- What was the good news Mrs. Fox received?
.....................................................................................................................

Passage Four

Perhaps the people who are the happiest when electric cuts happen are
thieves. A dark area suits the purpose of a thief so that he can do his work
without being interrupted by guards. Guards could see him in the light.
Though sick people, students and workers are annoyed when their district is
deprived of electric light, bank robbers find it a good chance to do their work.
Most banks have electric bells that sound as soon as a robber gets into
the bank. Naturally, those bells do not work when there is no electricity. One
day, some robbers decided to rob a bank in a town centre. They waited until
one night there was an electric cut in the area. They got in the bank easily
through one of its side doors. To their surprise, they found that all the safes
were empty.
The bank had recently moved all the money to the Central Bank in the
capital. To make matters worse, all the bank bells suddenly rang as the
electric current had returned. The robbers were all put under arrest.

Answer the following questions:


1- Why are thieves happy when electric cuts happen?
.....................................................................................................................
.....................................................................................................................
2- How are most banks warned against robbers?
