 AN IRISH TEENAGER'S TYPICAL DAY

My name is Sean O'Brien.

I'm fifteen years old and I live in Cork in Ireland. From Monday to Saturday my daily routine is always the
same. My mum always starts at seven o'clock in the morning when I get up and wash my face. After that, I do
some exercises, put my clothes on, and prepare my school bag. Then I go downstairs and have breakfast with my
mum and dad. I usually have sandwich and a cup of tea, but I never have sausages and eggs. After breakfast, I
always make my bed and then I go to school.

I stay at school from eight o'clock in the morning till half past two in the afternoon. On Mondays and
Wednesdays, I stay later because I have drum lessons. On the other days, I usually play football with my friends.

When I get home I sometimes help my mother in the house. I usually do my homework from five o'clock to
seven o'clock in the evening. At around seven o'clock we all have dinner together. After dinner, I usually watch
some TV and chat with my family. At 10 o'clock I read a book and go to bed.

After such a busy day, I always feel sleepy and ready for my comfortable bed!

Reading 3
A combination of sewage, salt, air pollution, sun, sand and wind may destroy the huge statue on the outskirts of
Cairo. This statue of the sun god has the body of a lion and the face of a human being. “It” is five thousand years
old, but it is too badly damaged to be completely saved. The statue has already been dug out of the sad three times.
However, the latest problems are much more serious. First, there are no proper drains and water pipes in the
neighborhood and the underground passages round the statue have become blocked. Too much water has been
running into the stone statue for several years. As a result, tiny pieces of salt have been left on the stone and have
damaged it. Secondly, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is also destroying the ancient
statue. The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is making the stone crumble and decay even faster. Thirdly, the
statue is being damaged by extremes of temperature. For example, although the air is very cold at night, during the
day the stone of the statue becomes very hot under the strong sun. Other natural forces such as severe sandstorms
also attack the statue. Finally, the tourists who visit the statue everyday also cause a lot of damage.
1. According to the passage, ___
A. the statue is completely saved
B. the statue of the sun god was built for religious reason
