5- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

During a recent car trip, I pulled into a rest area and was approached by a dirty man who asked for money to get petrol for his car. I rejected his appeal rationalizing that to give money to beggars would be to encourage a practice already on a disturbing rise in our country. Later I had a change of heart, I handed the man ten pounds and wished him well, but I couldn’t bring myself to grasp the outstretched hand he offered in appreciation. People begin and end almost every interaction with handshakes. Handshaking has become a thing of the past and increasingly dangerous, too. Risks associated with handshaking have become more

threatening than the mere passing of germs from one person to another. It is true that diseases such as hepatitis cannot be passed from one person to another through a simple handshake. But what about cold viruses? Rather than risk your health unnecessarily, we might adopt an alternative to handshaking. The “namaste” – placing your two palms together with fingers pointed upward – is used throughout much of the world as a display of respect when greeting someone. Similarly, the military salute would permit us to greet each other without touching. As a possible compromise between the “namaste” and the salute, we might consider the familiar

Japanese bow.

A) Answer the following questions:

1- Why does the writer think that handshaking is a bad habit?

2- Why did the writer hesitate to give money to the man?

3- What is the advantage of a military salute?

Choose the best answer from a, b, c, or d:

4- According to the writer, we……..…get cold viruses by handshaking.

a) can b) can never c) couldn’t d) never

5- There are ………..alternatives to handshaking.

a) no b) two c) three d) four

6- Read the following passage, then answer the questions:

What inspires someone to make a new invention? Most inventors are inspired by need. Louis Braille, who was born in 1809, lost his sight when he was a child. However, his parents helped him to continue his education. His teachers helped him a lot and he reached the top of his class. At the age of ten, he was given money to study at the Royal Institution for Blind Youth, where he started to use a simple raised-print system for reading.

Louis Braille invented a better system based on raised dots. The dots are put into patterns in a rectangle which has six positions for dots. The different arrangements of the dots represent the letters of the alphabet or other characters. There are symbols for punctuation marks and for math and music. A blind person reads by feeling the dots with their finger tips.

Braille writing was not well known until sixteen years after its inventor’s death in 1852. Today, it is used in almost every country in the world and is considered the standard form of reading and writing for the blind.

A) Give short answers to the following questions:

1) What need inspired Louis Braille to invent a better system of reading for the blind?
