Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
In many countries today, a difficult question is being asked: do we have the right to
use animals in laboratory experiments? Using animal's medical research has many
benefits.
Animal research has involved researchers to develop treatments for many diseases,
such as heart diseases. It would not have been possible to develop vaccines for
diseases like smallpox without animal research .every drug anyone takes today was
tried first on animals . Which is more important, the life of a rat or that of a three- year
old child? Medical research is also an excellent way of using unwanted animals. Last
year over twelve million animals had to be killed because nobody wanted them as pets.
The fact is that human benefit cannot be used as a reason for using animals in research,
anymore than it can be used as a reason for experimenting on other humans. Animals
suffer a lot during these experiments. They are forced to live in small cages and they
may be unable to move. Animals have the same rights as humans; to be able to move
freely and not to have pain or fear forced on them. We can use computer modeling
instead of animals in research laboratories to save animals' life.
A. Answer the following questions:
1- Why is animal research useful?
……………………………………………………………………………………
2- How do animals suffer during experiments?
………………………………………………………………………………………
3- What other ways can be used instead of experimenting on animals?
……………………………………………………………………………………
4- Are you with or against using animals in medical research? Why?
…………………………………………………………………………………………
B- Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
1- In the passage, some people support using animal in research because they think
that ….
a- The life of people is more important than the life of animals.
b- Animals are harmful creatures. c- Many people do not like animals.
d- Animals do not suffer during experiments.
2- An appropriate title for the passage would be …
a- Scientific Research. b- Research Laboratories.
b- c- Animal Rights. d- Human Rights.

listen to the radio or watch the television, but don't have it on too loud
because it might wake our little baby. Sound moves terribly in this house.

back to sleep. Anyway, he's two years old, so you shouldn't have any
trouble. My husband and I will be back at about five o'clock". Mr. Kamal and

5-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Generally, rainforests are forests with high rainfall and a large number of
different kinds of plants and animals. Human beings depend on rainforests
in numerous ways but it would be wrong to suggest that they should be
saved just because they are useful to humans. Rainforests have been called
the womb of life because they are home to 50 - 90 % of the species on
earth although tropical forests cover only 12 % of the land area of the
Earth. It has been estimated that as a result of cutting down rainforest, at
least 40 species are disappearing every day. No one knows just how the
rest of the global ecosystems depend on rainforests, but we may find out in
the next 30 to 50 years. Rainforests are a vital source of medicine and at
least 25% of all modern drugs came originally from rainforests. Rainforests
offer a veritable bounty of foods. The Earth's climate is affected by
rainforests. When trees are down and burnt or left to decompose, they
release carbon dioxide into the air which is the main gas that causes global
warming. Cutting down rainforests also changes the amount of rain that
falls in an area. When rain falls on forests, the water is slowed down and
absorbed by trees and plants. When they are taken away, the water flows
quickly over the ground and this causes floods and erosion.
1 - How are rainforests useful for humans?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….
2- What happens when rainforests are cut down?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
3- Why is it wrong to save the rainforests just so that they can be used by
humans?
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
4- What would happen to Earth if rainforest disappeared?
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
B- Choose the correct answer from a, b, c or d:
5- Species in the passage refers to :
a) plants and animals b) medicine and food c) plants d) animals
6- The word "they" in bold refers to :
a) rain and water b) floods and erosion
c) absorbed water d) trees and plants
