Count me out

Call me old-fashioned. Call me old. Call me what you want, but I refuse to become part of this new Internet world. I don't possess a computer at home or at the office. Actually, I stopped going to an office 35 years ago, when all communications were done in a relaxed manner, with a pen, a typewriter, or, if the matter was of world-shaking importance, over the telephone. Tell me what you think of the following ad that appeared the other day in the newspaper. It was for a cure for cancer and this is what it said: "Awareness is the key. Visit spfulford.com at the awareness site." There was no address or telephone number for the site. So what do unfortunate people without a computer do if they are seeking a cure for their illness?

There are, I am told, certain advantages in having access to the latest marvel of the age, the Internet. There are activities for Internet users besides having fun. They can pay bills, order groceries, or discuss illness with their doctor. In the future the Internet may develop "consciousness." In other words, the Internet will be able to think, have feelings, and may well be able to act on its own. If this is right, I may change my attitude about computers. As I grow older each day, I would like a gadget that not only thinks for me but also accepts responsibility for all my mistakes.

A. Answer the following questions

1-What did the writer think was wrong with the Internet ad for a cancer cure?

2-What are three things that people do on the Internet?

3-Which of the writer's points of view do you disagree with? Explain your reason in one sentence of your own.

B) Choose the correct answer:

4-The Internet may develop "consciousness" means it will be able to---------------.

c) cure diseases d) think for the writer

5-When the writer was younger, people communicated with each other by-----------.

a) advertising on the web. b) writing letters or talking on the phone.

c) communicating with computers. d) using mobile telephones.

6- Read the passage then answer the questions:

With the introduction of the Internet into our daily lives, we have changed from a society that works from 8 to 2 pm into a twenty-four hour society. You can buy your grocery at midnight, book your holiday on the internet at 3 am and do business online at dawn.

Before you join the 24-hour revolution, take a minute to listen to what your body is trying to tell you. This "round the clock" lifestyle is not what the Great Creator intended for us.

In an area of our brains, we have a "body clock" that controls our body's natural rhythms. It tells us when it is the right time to eat, sleep, work or play. It plays an important part in our physical and psychological well-being. It is, in fact, what makes us control many things including our hormones, temperatures, immune system and activity. If we try to ignore our body clocks, or even to switch them off for a while, we run the risk of seriously damaging our health. Accordingly, we need to have a daily routine.

A) Answer the following questions:

1- Mention TWO only of the functions of the "body clock"?

2- Are you for or against the daily routine? Why?

3- What does " It " in the third paragraph refer to?

B) Choose the correct answer:

4- A 24-hour society means a society that works ……………………….

a) day and night b) day only c) night only d) from 8 pm to 2 pm

5- If you switch off your "body clock", …………………………..

a) you'll miss the train b) you'll damage your health

c) you won't attend the match d) you'll be late for school

"Thinking about the future"

What will life be like then? Will it be better, worse or the same as now? Think about: technology, medicine, education, food, work and people.

9- A) Translate into Arabic: (June, 2006)

In her speech entitles, "Culture: The Most Effective Language of Peace", Mrs. Mubarak assured that definitions of peace vary. For many, it means absence of war and violence, while others see that it represents the quest for inner peace and security. But for many more, peace is a prerequisite for development and democracy.

1- حصلت مصر علي كأس الأمم الأفريقية هذا العام، محققة بذلك إنجازا عظيما.
