5- Read the passage then answer the questions: (August, 2003)
It must be said that the majority of those who are against Genetically Modified (GM) foods are neither living in countries which suffer from food shortages, nor facing starvation. Many scientists believe that without GM foods, the Third World will never overcome its food problems. At present, over one billion people live on less than one dollar a day. The United Nations hopes this number will be cut in half, within fifteen years. This will not happen if food continues to be produced in the conventional manner.
Foods produced by traditional farming methods do not last very long and often spoil during transport. Very often, food sent by the West to countries suffering from famine, rots before it reaches its destination. Now, scientists have found ways to preserve foods for much longer time. For example, they have developed a preservative made from vitamins and minerals which keeps even cut fruit fresh for up to ten days if refrigerated. Despite this, there are still people who believe that agricultural research should be moving in a different direction. They accept that there is no real proof that GM foods are dangerous. However, they believe that the solutions that GM foods provide are short-term and that it is necessary to find longer-lasting and natural means to solve the world’s food problems.
A) Answer the following questions:
1-How do scientists preserve foods for a long time?
2-Mention one disadvantage of food grown by conventional methods.
3-Give a title to the passage.
B. Choose the correct answer:
4-The expression “cut in half” means ----------------.
a) cut into pieces b) add one half
c) decrease by half d) become one and a half
5-Most of the food sent to starving countries --------------.
a) never decays b) decays after it reaches them
c) decays on the way d) does not decay until it is eaten by them
6- Read the passage then answer the questions:
Can you imagine anything worse than returning home to find that burglars have broken into your house? Unfortunately, this happens to about one million people in Britain annually. However, if you want better protection against burglars, there are several things you can do. To improve security, check all the locks on your doors and windows. The installation of lighting all around the house will make sure a burglar is unable to hide in the shadows. An alarm system is another good preventative measure you can take.
Starting a neighbourhood watch group is also a very effective way to prevent crime in your area. Since most burglaries take place when people are away on holiday, this is when your neighbours' help is most valuable. Ask them to collect your mail, open and close your curtains every day, switch your lights on and off and even mow your lawn to make your house look occupied.
A) Answer the following questions:
1- According to the text, when are burglars able to hide in homes?
