all social animals need some method of exchanging information.
Human beings do that in many ways. One of these ways is bodily
movements. They express approval by nodding, by clapping the hands, by
whistling, by smiling, or laughing. They express disapproval by shaking
the head. They show direction by pointing, and they show size by holding
their hands at a certain distance from one another.
Even lower creatures such as insects use methods of exchanging
information, Bees, like human beings live in organized groups. They tell
each other that there is food by carrying samples back to the hive. They
show the distance and direction of the food by dancing. These dances are
important to the bees as they help them to know the sources of food.
Of course, the main difference between man’s method of exchanging
information and that of other creatures is the spoken language. Only man
can speak. Thus, man alone can express ideas and share knowledge with
other human beings.
Social groups of human beings and other lower creatures depend upon
methods of exchanging information. However, only human society which
has a spoken language can make great social and technical progress.

wonder you see many traffic jams all over the city. Perhaps the worst jams
are at the city centre. These long lines of cars crawling into Cairo waste
time and money. Everyday precious time is wasted while you are waiting
impatiently at the traffic lights.
At last when you reach your destination, you have every right to feel
kind of relief, but soon you face new troubles. There is no place to park
your car. In Cairo it is very hard to find parking spaces.
It is a problem that causes us trouble by day and anxiety by night. To
solve this problem more car-parks should be built just outside the city
cnetre. Then the drivers can leave their cars and catch a bus to their
offices. Another solution is to build multiple story garages.
Wide , smooth, straight roads must be built now in place of the old,
narrow roads. These roads must not pass through the city centre, by-pass
it, they must not be crossed by other roads. This can be achieved by fly-
over bridges. It is heart warming to see such roads being built now. Carts
and cycles should not be allowed on such roads. Let us hope that in the
near future when people rush to work and then back home the roads will
be as orderly as ever and traffic will flow without hindrance.

Statistics show that the rapid growth in population creates problems for
developing countries. So, why don’t people have fewer children ? It has
also been found that only when people’s education and living standards
begin to rise do birth rates begin to fall. Now poor countries can’t afford
social services and old age pensions, and people’s incomes are so low
that they have nothing to spare for savings. So people need their children
to provide them with security in their old age Having a large family can be
a from of insurance. Even when they are still young children can help on a
small farm.
Improvements in public health services and medical care have assured
that many more babies survive infancy and grow up. It has also helped the
parents to live longer. No wonder populations are being added to both
ends. These people have to be convinced that with smaller families, there
will be more food, better schools, more employment and thus a better
standard of living . this means changes in attitudes.

Advertising has become a very specialized activity in modern times. In
the business world of today, supply is usually greater than demand. There
is great competition between the different manufacturers of the same kind
of product to persuade customers to buy their own particular make. They
always have to remind the customer of the name and the quality of their
product. They do this by advertising. The manufacturer advertises in the
newspaper and on posters. He sometimes pays for songs to be sung
about his product on commercial radio programmes. He employs
attractive salesgirls to distribute samples of it. He organizes competitions
with prizes for the winners. He often advertises on the screens of local
cinemas. Most important of all, in those countries that have television, he
has advertisements put into the programmes whenever this is possible.
Manufacturers often spend large sums of money on advertisements.
We buy a particular product because we think that it is the best. We
usually thinks so because the advertisements say so. Some people never
pause to ask themselves if the advertisements are telling the truth.

In Egypt, the tourism industry has come to hold a position of great
importance Lately. It is felt that it could help increase the national income.
In some European countries, tourism has brought in millions of dollars
yearly, although they lack the natural and historical attractions we have in
Egypt.
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.
Our tourist today wants efficient and friendly service He would probably
prefer to try out samples of our local food than to eat the international

19
The Prince Series Mr. El Hegazy Mob :0106593067

meals which are served in some places. This would be more interesting
than having the same things he always eats in his own 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 country.

One of the results of technology and population growth is the increase
of pollution throughout the world. According to a United Nations report,
the future of all life on earth will be endangered if man does not control
contamination of the environment. It is time we realize the full extent of the
dangers that face mankind.
For instance, here in Egypt, look at our River Nile. It is strange to see
how everything is thrown into it as if it were our litter basket, instead of
keeping it clean and pure we pollute it. We ourselves, not our “enemies’,
dirty it with our own hands. Some farmers wash themselves, their clothes,
their animals and their pots and pans in its waters. They even throw their
dead animals and birds into it. Some people living in cities and towns
throw their old tyres and cars. Their old broken bottles and rusty tins into
it. Factories throw their waste chemicals and garbage into it. In this way,
the waters of the Nile are poisoned, killing our fish, poisoning, our lands,
weakening our crops and destroying our health.
So, it would be foolish to shut our eyes to the dangers of the pollution
that man causes to the very thing on which his life depends. Please, keep
our Nile clean.

1- In what way, do you think, technology has led to the increase of water

This year the 21st Cairo Book fair has turned out to be a real cultural
festival. The Fair has won an excellent reputation not only in Egypt or the
Arab world, but internationally as well. International publishers were
competing to participate in our Fair this year. It is a sign of awareness that
we start regarding culture as essential for our civilization rather than
considering it a means of entertainment, because the culture of any
country speaks on its behalf and represents it abroad. If you can imagine
how culture can affect the economy of any nation, it will be easy for you to
think of it as a commodity that could be sold abroad.
The fair has hosted famous thinkers, poets, writers and critics from
fifty-two countries to participate in the debate held every evening at the
fairground. More than fifteen million books by 1800 publishers were also
displayed in the Fair.
Unlike fairs of previous years where the selling of books was the main
ai m, it was decided in this year’s Fair to take advantage of all the space
and time available to turn the Fair into a festival combining the various
activities of culture and art.
It was a duty as well as an honour that the Book Fair paid a special
tribute to our 1988 winner of the Nobel prize, Naguib Mahfouz, by
assigning a whole main division to his novels and literary publications.
A- Answer the following questions :
1- In what way did this year’s Fair differ from fairs of previous years ?

It is most necessary for everybody to cut down on his food expenses.
Since the early 1970s the cost of food has gone up faster than the cost of
all other commodities and services… The increase has amounted to more
than 300%.
For all Egyptian families food is the biggest item in their monthly
household budget. In fact, it swallows more than half the budget of
millions of low-income families. People suffer a lot from the high prices of
food.
How will such a state of sffairs end ? is it the fate of low-income
families to face starvation ? Isn’t there a way out ?
To be sure, there is. You can redcue your food expenses at least 20% by
observing the following pieces of advice. Note the food items which you
need when your supplies run low. Group the same kinds of food and
supplies together and write a list of your needs. Use your list as you shop
and don’t buy any items which are not included on the list. Food is sold
nowadays in different forms : fresh, canned and frozen. Choose the
cheapest and the healthiest ones. You can buy fresh vegetables instead of

27
The Prince Series Mr. El Hegazy Mob :0106593067

frozen ones because they are cheaper and healthier. Chickens are cheaper
than red meat. You can have beans, cheese and eggs instead of meat.

when you are hungry may tempt you to buy things you don’t really need.

would leave the sportsman quite unsatisfied.

30
The Prince Series Mr. El Hegazy Mob :0106593067

If I were allowed to choose my own holiday, I would go on a voyage in a


modern passenger ship with a swimming pool.
Even if sportsman friend and my lazy friend came with me, they would
both be happy; one would have plenty of games and swimming; the other
could sit in a comfortable chair all day, looking at the sea and drinking
lemonade. On a ship, one can do as one likes, when one likes. If one day I
find an interesting book in the ship’s library, I can spend the whole day
reading it, and nobody will stop me. Perhaps the next day I shall want
some exercise. Well, then I can play games with passengers until I am hot
and sweating and ready for a bath. I can go and sleep in my cabin at any
time of the day or night, I can get cheap drinks during most of the day, and
I can eat as I like, choosing among a variety of foods.
But perhaps the greatest pleasure of a sea holiday is coming to new
ports in strange lands, and going ashore for a few hours to see strange
places, eat strange foods and hear a strange language talked around us.
Whenever I think of my ideal holiday, it is the picture of a mysterious
foreign city that comes to my mind .

33
The Prince Series Mr. El Hegazy Mob :0106593067

For centuries, people have tried to conquer nature. They have built tall
skyscrapers and bridges over rivers. But not all these efforts are
successful. Bridges fall soon, and buildings collapse. Even the pyramids
in Egypt has problems, and the first few fell down.
People have built skyscrapers for years. It would seem safe to assume
that they now how to do it. That is what a large company thought when it
bult its new headquarters recently. But soon after the steel- and – glass
building was finished, the windows began to fall out, crashing all over the
streets. One windy night, 65 windows fell into the streets and had to be
replaced by plywood. That’s when people started calling the building the
‘plywood palace”. This continued for years while a number of different
solutions were tried, and lots of excuses were made . Lawyers for the
construction company even said that it is normal for windows to fall out of
skyscrapers, but that everyone was being unfair and criticize their building

Dreams have interested, puzzled, and even frightened people.
They thought that dreams always came true, and that they came from
something outside the person dreaming.
Since the end of the 19th century, physicians psychologists and other
scientists have been studying dreams. Although they still have much to
learn, they think that dreams are created by the dreamer granted, or in
which they become somebody they would like to be. These are wish-
fulfilling dreams ; They occasionally dream they are being chased by
robbers, or are in danger from fire or flood. These frightening dreams are
called nightmares. People usually have nightmares when they are upset
about something.

36
The Prince Series Mr. El Hegazy Mob :0106593067

Studies about the causes of dreams show many reasons. For example,
changes in the brain occur during sleep, and these are probably related to
dreaming . But no one knows enough yet about the brain changes in
dreaming to say exactly what they are. A dreamer’s health affects his
dreams. A person who is ill will have different kinds of dreams from those
of one who is well. If a person is hungry, or cold, or tired, his dreams may
include these feelings. In addition, a large part of any dream comes from
the events of the day before. Often the person or situations in a night
dream are those the dreamer met during the day. The feelings of
happiness or disappointmet which came out in dreams were probably in
the dreamer before. All that dream does is to give them an outlet.

goods. Each aircraft movement is controlled from a tower in which there
are air-traffic controllers have radio link with all aircraft and monitor their
airborne movements by radar. Planes are getting faster and runways are
growing longer and modern airports must have a runway of at least 50
metres wide and 4 kilometres long.
To process such huge numbers of people each day. An airport must
employ a staff of many thousands. Amongst these are ground hostesses
to help people with their enquiries, and customs officials to check that
ceratin goods do not go out or come into the country without their
knowledge. Caterers supply the restaurants and cafetrias, as well as
provide prepacked meals for passengers in flight, Maintenance engineers,
whose vital job is to ensure the safety of the aircraftr, run into several
thousands.
Goods are often handled at a separate terminal where aircraft are
usually specially fitted out. The type of goods varies greatly and may
include anything from a gorilla bound to a foreign zoo to gold bars in
transit to an overseas bank.
Air travel increases annually, and airport facilities are continually
being extended. Today’s international airport, already a scene of endless

Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
The human race is only one small species of beings in the living world;
many other groups exist among the creatures on this planet. However,
human beings have a great ifluence on the rest of the world. People
change the environment by building cities where forests once stood.
People affect the water supply by using water for industry and agriculture.
People affect weather conditions by increasing the amount of water in the
air; when open land is changed into farms, the humidity of the atmoshpere
in that area in creases because of the increased vegetation. Human beings
change the air by adding pollutants like smoke from factories and fumes
from automobile motors.
Thus, it can be said that the human species changes the world through
its actions, by its habits. People, in otherwords are interfering with nature.
One negative result of people’s interference with the environment is
that many kinds of animals are becoming rare. In fact, their numbers are
decreasing so rapidly that they are in danger of becoming extinct. Because

not disappear, an “endangered species” list has been made, and ways to
