A) Read the following passages then choose the correct option from a, b, c or d. Lotfia Elnadi was born in Cairo in 1907 to a government-official father and a devoted mother. Her magnificent achievements have opened doors for female pilots throughout the entire Arab world. Not long after it opened, Lotfia Elnadi decided to join the Cairo aviation school in order to learn to fly. Her instructor realised she had great potential and after less than seventy days of training she earned her pilot‟s licence. Consequently, from September 1933, at the age of 26 she was officially allowed to pursue her dream of flying which, she claimed, made her feel free. If becoming the first Arab female pilot in history was not enough, Lotfia Elnadi made newspaper headlines again only a few months after getting her licence. She became the second woman in the world to fly solo when she entered a race from Cairo to Alexandria.

Lotfia‟s determination to achieve her dream is something many pilots admire today. Her struggle to overcome the difficulties, such as paying for her flying lessons by working at the airport as a receptionist, are part of a documentary about her life called Take Off From the Sand, made in 1996. Loftia Elnadi died at the age of 95 in 2002, but her life story will continue to inspire other Arab women to accomplish their goals.

A) Read the following passages, then choose the correct option from a, b, c or d. Due to the global pandemic, the Egyptian Ministry of ICT noted an almost 50% increase in internet consumption as workers were encouraged to work from home. Many saw this as a positive move and some companies have closed their offices as their employees continue to work from home. However, there are also disadvantages that need to be considered.

A significant advantage for the company is increased productivity. The home office ensures a higher level of efficiency as it is adapted perfectly to the employee. There are no distractions by workmates or background noise and they have their favourite food too! With less time needed to commute, they can spend more time with their families. This increases well-being which, in turn, can increase productivity.

Despite the many advantages, there are also some disadvantages. Many who worked from home claimed that they worked more hours than in the office. Furthermore, some complained that although they saved money on transport they had increased costs in water and electricity. Poor furniture or physical space is also another issue to take into account. However, the biggest problem has been the feeling of isolation and lack of personal contact with workmates. With 300 million workers globally suffering from mental health issues as a result of working from home, doctors are claiming mental health problems will be the next problem to affect the world.

  1. The general idea of the text is that ..................... a) the possibility of working from home was discovered as a result of the pandemic b) most people only find positive things about working from home c) there are advantages and disadvantages to working from home d) working at home allows you to eat your favourite meals
  2. Which one is not an advantage of working from home mentioned in the text? a) more time with family b) higher levels of productivity c) more time to work d) increased feeling of well-being
  3. Which one is not a disadvantage of working from home mentioned in the text?

  1. The text says that the global pandemic increased internet use by nearly 50% ............. a) so people suffered mental health problems at home b) as workers were encouraged to work from home c) of offices closed as a result d) to continue working in the office
  2. The text says that the employees who had to work from home during the pandemic said .................. a) they frequently ate too much b) they enjoyed seeing their families more c) they liked being able to work in informal clothes d) they were frequently working a higher number of hours
  3. Which expression in the text means „very important‟? a) take into account b) play a vital role c) a significant advantage d) need to be remembered B) Read the following passages, then choose the correct option from a, b, c or d. How would you feel if you spent many months without seeing your friends and family? Would you be happy to live in a very small space, with the same people for many weeks? These are the conditions that astronauts have to face, so scientists are looking into the best ways to help them with their mental health problems.

In 1982, a Russian astronaut called Valentin Lebedev had been travelling in space for seven months when he started to become more and more depressed. This was the first time that scientists realized that mental health could be a problem for astronauts, who need to carry out important and often dangerous tasks.

Many astronauts face problems because time is so different in space. For example, on the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts see the sun rise and set 16 times in one day. This makes it very hard for them to sleep. Spacecrafts also use blue light, which is the same light we use for computers and TV screens. Blue light also stops us from wanting to sleep, which is why you should not look at screens before you go to bed!

Until scientists have done research on more astronauts, we won‟t fully understand the effects of space travel on their mental health. However, scientists claim that mental health problems will be more likely when astronauts start to make journeys to planets such as Mars, which might take 18 months or more. As a result, people who want to become astronauts need special training on how to deal with stress.

The astronauts of the future will certainly have a lot more support than they did in the past. Already on the ISS, astronauts spend a lot of time taking exercise, relaxing, eating healthy food and talking to their families: all good ways to stay mentally healthy!

  1. The main idea in the first paragraph is ..................... a) different mental health problems b) space exploration c) the situations astronauts have to face in space d) the depression the Russian astronaut had
  2. Due to the different time in space, ................... a) many astronauts have heart diseases b) a lot of astronauts face problems

Which expression in the text means „things you have to do every day‟? a) every other day b) needs c) day-to-day d) ever since B) Read the following passages, then choose the correct option from a, b, c or d. When people retire, they will probably have been working for 40 years or more. But how productive will they have been in that time? We have been studying productivity, and the results are very interesting.

Working hours around the world vary, but people in Egypt work an average of 40 hours a week and no more than 48 hours a week, which is similar to most other countries. In the USA, however, many people working in technology and banking often work over 60 hours a week. This could be because phones and laptops mean that people can work even when they are not in the office.

However, a study by Professor Pencavel, from Stanford University in the USA, concluded that these extra hours do not mean a person gets more things done. Professor Pencavel reported that a person‟s productivity declined very quickly after they had worked 50 hours a week. In fact, a person doing 70 hours a week did the same amount of work as a person doing 55 hours.

There have been several studies into the effects of work on health. The economist, Nolan Pope, studied how the time of day affects productivity, and he found that people are naturally more productive at certain times of the day: in particular, before around 1pm. There have been many other studies into workplace stress, and these indicate that long work hours are linked to exhaustion, burnout and poor health.

In conclusion, to aid our health, it is important that we work around the hours of the day when we are most productive and this should help make us happier.

  1. The best title for the passage is .................. a) Mental health b) The effects of work on health c) Work and productivity d) Creativity and productivity
  2. According to the passage, we should .................. a) increase productivity according to the money we get b) do extra work however tired we are c) work even when we are exhausted to earn more and feel happier d) work when we aren’t exhausted to be productive and feel happier 31. The economist, Nolan Pope , ................ a) considered the relation between working hours and pay b) stated that a person doing 70 hours a week could do the same amount of work as a person doing 55 hours c) studied the relation between the time of day and productivity

I also have a good knowledge of the landmarks, monuments and tourist attractions that your company takes tourists to visit. I think I can make an important contribution to your company as anintern. If you are happy with my work, I hope to be offered full-time employment in the future.
