5- Read the passage then answer the questions: (August 2001)
An earthquake is not particularly dangerous in our days. In cities and towns, buildings are constructed according to the most recent technological methods, and thus earthquakes are not so threatening as they were in the past.
However, in some out-of the- way districts where people make their own houses and no precautions are taken against earthquakes, these natural phenomena sometimes prove fatal. Some time ago there was a destructive earthquake in Egypt. It lasted only one minute, and its effects were great. In a matter of seconds hundreds of houses collapsed. People were buried alive under the ruins. Those who were fortunate enough to survive knew that their relatives might still be living under the heaps of stone and wood. The army had been ordered to remove the ruins and the soldiers had to work fast to save as many people as they could. The survivors helped the soldiers in the struggle against death hoping to find a missing member of their family. They had to remove the ruins with their bare hands for fear of killing someone if they used the spades. Nevertheless, most of those who were dug out were dead, and those who were still alive had been so badly injured that few of them escaped death in the end.
Earthquakes are rare, and their terrible effects have been considerably limited. However, in the parts of the world where primitive living conditions are still existing, earthquakes are still as terrible as they were in the past.

1. Why were earthquakes more dangerous in the past?

a) badly constructed b) built of stone and mud

c) couldn't use spades for fear of killing someone d) used lorries and tractors
6- Read the passage then answer the questions:
Do you remember when the telephone used to be a simple receiver connected by a wire to the wall ? And all you used it for was to make a phone call ?
Today, new technology has changed the telephone and what people use it for. Using computers now in technology has given us fast connections and clearer conversations over the telephone. Nowadays, people use telephones to do their banking, to rent videos, and to buy things. People now can send letters and documents through phone lines by fax. And new systems may be available soon for sending video pictures over the telephone.
The most recent invention about telephones is that you don't need to be at home or at the office to use the telephone any more. There are now mobile phones which have no wires. You can carry one in your pocket or keep it in your car. A call from a mobile phone travels along radio waves to stations in different places. From there, the radio signal is connected to the regular phone system. With a mobile phone, anyone who can drive and talk can also drive and phone. This means less wasted time. So remember next time you are at the beach or riding your bicycle, there might be a call for you.
