has a history going back over 8,000 years. It was only established as the capital in 1921, but has many ancient buildings. Brasilia, the capital city of Brazil, is both similar to and different from Amman. Like Amman, it is an administrative center and contains the key political buildings and institutions. However, unlike Amman, Brasilia is not the major cultural or economic center of Brazil, and with 2.5 million people, it is home to only a tiny fraction of the huge Brazilian population. Built in the late 1950s, it is a new city and has only been the capital of Brazil since 1960. It took over from Rio de Janeiro, which remains a major economic and cultural center, as well as having a population of many millions more. Brasilia is a very modern city and because it is so new, planners were able to strictly regulate its layout. It is divided into sectors, with specific zones for business, industry, government and residential areas.

Text B: ======== Jordan has undergone a period of rapid modernization in the last Few years, with high-tech and high-rise buildings being built in Its major cities, especially Amman. Yet it remains an ancient land That has enjoyed involvement and interaction with many different Civilizations over the last ten thousand years. Jordans historical importance means that there is a variety of traditional crafts practiced by skilled local artisans and, despite the fast pace of modernization, there are increasing efforts by the state and by charities to preserve these wonderful traditions. One example of
this can be found in Madaba, where an organization
has been set up to help preserve the world-famous mosaics found there. These ancient mosaics are made with thousands of tiny pieces of coloured stone or tile. They give us information about the way people lived at the time, tell us about old kings and illustrate ancient maps and pictures of local events. They are very useful for historians. Today, local people are taught how to make these mosaics for commercial sale. This helps to educate people about the need to protect what is old, while also providing them with a living.

Text C: ======== Steve Fossett a record record-breaker in 2002, Steve Fossett became the first person to travel solo round the world in a hot air balloon. His balloon, The Spirit of Freedom, used a mixture of helium and hot air and was 42 meters high and 18 meters wide. To keep it at a constant altitude, the balloon used a sophisticated autopilot system controlled by a computer. Fossetts journey started in Western Australia. From here, he crossed the Pacific Ocean, travelling in an easterly direction. On reaching South America, he travelled across Chile and down round Argentina. He flew over the Southern Atlantic Ocean towards South Africa, then over the Indian Ocean to reach Australia.
This record-breaking solo journey took only 14 days, 19 hours and 50 minutes altogether, but conditions for Steve Fossett were not comfortable. He only slept for four hours in every 24-hour period, and never slept for more than 45 minutes at one time. Fossett frequently had to leave his tiny cabin to go outside, where air temperatures were below freezing, in order to check that the balloons burners were working properly. By the time he arrived in Australia, he had travelled 33,195 km. Steve Fossett was especially pleased with this successful round-theworld journey as it was his sixth attempt.

Text D: ======== When large numbers of people move from their homes in country areas to find better paid jobs in towns and cities, the villages and farms they once lived in are often left empty. No one wants to buy homes there because they cannot make money out of them. This phenomenon, which is called rural depopulation, can lead to overcrowding in cities as well as for fewer people in country areas. One example of this phenomenon is the Garrigues area of Spain, about one hours drive from Barcelona. The area has a Mediterranean climate, but because it is high and not close to the sea, winter temperatures are quite low. The area has an annual rainfall level of 482mm which falls in only 47 days of the year, during the autumn and spring. Historically, this was a successful agricultural area; on the higher ground, the farmers grew almonds and vines, while in the river valleys, wheat, corn, beans and sunflowers were the traditional crops. The area was particularly well-known for its high quality olive oil which was grown mainly for export. The population of the area was at its highest about 150 years ago, when a typical village might have 500 inhabitants, whereas now some villages have as few as 100 permanent inhabitants. But as farming became less and less profitable, and unemployment grew,
10
the population began to move to the cities to find work. This trend started in 1860 and has continued to this day. Now some villages consist mainly of elderly people. The area is suffering from the effects of depopulation, such as poor public services and deserted farms. In some parts of Europe in recent years, however, the move from the country to the city has been reversed as wealthy people move to the countryside to escape from the overcrowding, pollution and stress of city life. Some are moving permanently, but many are buying holiday or weekend homes which are empty for much of the year.
1-
According to the text, explain in two sentences(using your own expression) how the public services affect the life of people. Because the public services such as transport, education and health are very important for people in order not to escape from their area.
2-
According to the second paragraph, mention three things that were grown by farmers in the area. Wheat, corn, beans and sunflowers.
3-
According to the third paragraph, why the total population in the area decreased? State only one reasons. winter temperatures are quite low
4-
According to the last paragraph, why the movement (transfer) of some people from the country to the city has been reversed? mention 2 reasons. a. as wealthy people move to the countryside to escape from the overcrowding
11
b. many are buying holiday or weekend homes which are empty for much of the year. 5The writer said the population began to move to the cities to find work is he justified in this? Explain Yes hes justified in this, because the area is suffering from the effects of depopulation, such as poor public services and deserted farms. 6Find the words in the text which mean the same as empty
because people have left = deserted something that happens or exists = phenomenon
7-
What do the underlined words in the text (they,they,them,) refer to? They= (large numbers of) people They= no one (people) Them= homes
Critical Thinking:=============== Rural life isnt bad as some people imagine it, comment on this by writing your point of view. Thats true, and logic to say Rural life isnt bad as some people imagine it because as wealthy people move to the countryside to escape from the overcrowding, pollution and stress of city life.
