Reading comprehension: (45 points)
Question Number One: (25 points)
:Text One-Read the text and then answer the tasks below
Almost everything in New York was different. We were used to living in an __________________ )1
area where everyone knew everyone else’s business, but here no one seemed to take any notice
even of their neighbours. Instead of having a common culture, the people around us dressed in
different styles, ate different kinds of food, even spoke different languages. It was a complete puzzle
.to me how they could be so various yet still call themselves Americans
I was born in 1942, so I must have been about six or seven when the 1948 ___________________ )2
catastrophe (Nakba) happened. As a result, thousands of Palestinian families, including mine, were
forced to leave Palestine. We spent a short time in Jordan before we children were taken to America
by our aunt and uncle. Being so young, I saw our new life mostly as an adventure, even though I
missed my friends and our old home. My parents had important work to do, but they had promised
to join us as soon as possible. My older brother went through a period of anger, saying he hated
everything about America. My uncle had his job at the newspaper and was quite fluent in English, so
.he managed fairly well. My aunt, though, never got used to life in America
I now realize that this was mostly a choice she made herself. She _____________________ )3
refused to learn any English, so she found herself stuck in the-house most of the time, only going out
to buy ‘food like we had at home’, for which she would walk miles rather than use the stores in the
neighborhood. She also refused to make any changes to the tiny apartment we rented, apart from
spending hours keeping it clean. This meant that it was very hot in the summer and freezing in
winter. I’m sure we could have afforded a fridge, but she wouldn’t have one preferring to keep things
.cool in the traditional way
At the time, I remember feeling annoyed with her stubborn attitude, but ____________________ )4
now, looking back, I know I should have realized what it was: a sign of her deep feeling of loss. In one
way, I now understand, she was clinging to the way of life that had been taken from her. Mainly,
though, her refusal to become accustomed to living in America was an expression of her conviction
that our situation was only temporary, ‘Don’t get used to all this’, she often told us ‘because it won’t
.last. We’ll be going home soon
Match the following titles with the suitable paragraphs in the text: (4 points) :1
) ( A- Justification of a strange behavior. ( ) B- The start of new life
) ( C- Signs of holding on homeland ( ) D- Different place, different ways

Question Number Two : ( 20 points)
:Text Two-Read the text and find answers to the questions below
In today's world where everything is just one click away. Internet ________________________1
certainly has greatly impacted the life of everyone. We use it for communication, education, office
work, and other computer-related tasks.  Moreover, Social networking is a medium through which
we can broadcast our knowledge, experience, and views. However, too much use of social
networking sites is making individuals dumb Thus, technology is a rather controversial subject. Some
.regard the internet as an obstacle. Others believe that it is a helper
The Internet is one of the best tools for productivity today. A student can _____________________2
learn any subject from vast online resources. Abstract subjects like mathematics can be better
understood through online practice pages and forums. Writers can find inspiration online. Musicians
have access to countless tools to create their next masterpiece. In short, the Internet is a fantastic
.place to help and guide individuals to do amazing things
However, Internet and technology become a problem when they become a ____________________3
substitute for human interaction. Youngsters fear face to face conversation, and feel more
comfortable when interacting through a screen. While spending hours on the internet, youngsters
are left with little time for other tasks, especially healthy physical activity. Playing online games has
become more in demand than going out to play a proper sport. This not only wastes their precious
time, but also hinders physical and mental development. Insomnia and insecurity are a result of
.excessive use of internet
Internet and technology in and of themselves aren't bad; they can be a_______________________4
great help if used in the right way. Internet gives you the only thing that you have requested. Bad or
.good depends on you. Choose wisely it is we, who can make it look like a blessing or a curse
