Question Number One: Read the text about business start-up and complete the tasks below: (20 points)
Information and Communications Technology businesses could be the best hope for the economic future of
Palestine, according to experts inside and outside the country.
Why ICT? For Mustafa Jawad, the 23-year-old head of an online graphic design company, the answer is simple:
‘For an ICT start-up, all you need is a computer and a connection. You can distribute your final product by
exporting it to the Internet cloud.’ There are still problems, though. The main one is a lack of 3G networks in
Palestine, because access to the necessary wavebands is not available yet.
Mustafa was good at art and languages, and when he finished school, everyone advised him to study English at
university. Instead, he taught himself how to programme and started making his own software programmes.
His first attempt was a game, which was so popular with his fellow students that he decided starting his own
company might be a real possibility. His big breakthrough came when he attended a ‘start-up weekend’ in
Ramallah. He managed to get a small amount of financial support, which gave him the time to develop more
ideas. Perhaps more importantly, he met other business people, both Palestinian and from other countries. He
learnt a lot about the practical side of running a business and about how to get his products noticed.
Mustafa is currently working on a programme that makes the teaching of chemistry in schools more fun. He has
already had interest from within Palestine and from other Arab countries. Like a lot of other young Palestinian
business people, he wants to do something positive to help his country, but he stresses that his company isn’t a
humanitarian operation. ‘It’s a business,’ he says, ‘and the aim is to get good returns on the investment.
He believes he can help is to pass on what he’s learnt to others. ‘I learnt a lot from that start-up weekend. When I
go to the next one, I hope I’ll learn more, but I’ll also be able to advice others.’
A. Answer the following questions: (6 points)
1. What could be the best hope for the economic future of Palestine, according to experts?

READING COMPREHENSION (25 points)
Read the text about Building Bridges to the World and complete the tasks below:
Along with President Arafat, other prominent representatives of this Palestinian generation in exile played
a vital role in bringing the cause to the world’s attention. One of these was the great writer and academic Edward
Said, originally from Jerusalem, who fought with all the strength of his great mind for freedom, equality and
justice in general, and for the future of Palestine in particular. On his death, the poet Mahmoud Darwish, himself
an important and well-known international figure, wrote: ‘I cannot say goodbye to Edward Said, so present is he
among and within us, and so alive around the world.’
Another great Palestinian intellectual was Hisham Sharabi (1927–2005), originally from Jaffa, and later an
important professor at Georgetown University near Washington. Like Said and other Palestinians, he worked all
his life to improve western understanding of Arab and Palestinian issues. He was editor of the Journal of Palestine
Studies, and wrote many books, including his famous Introduction to the Study of Arab Society (1975). He also
became well known for his television appearances and his journalism, as well as creating the Arab-American
Cultural Foundation, which builds American understanding of Arab and Islamic culture, and setting up the
Jerusalem Fund, a foundation that provides scholarships for students from Palestine.
Sharabi wrote about his ‘bitterness and anger’ when, in 1993, he returned to Jaffa to make a documentary:
‘As I stood there, I could hear people speaking Russian, probably recent immigrants from the old Soviet Union.
They were full citizens in my country, and I was there only on a limited Israeli tourist visa.’ However, he went
on to say that the only way forward was a political compromise founded on justice and international law and
UN Security Council resolutions. For him, this compromise had to include the Right of Return.

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
2. What do Hisham Sharabi and Eduard Said have in common?

Question Number Two: (10 points)
Read the text about Money and complete the tasks below:
Earning a lot of money may be the purpose in life of some people but in my opinion, money is not
everything, it is just the tool leading us to a better life. Money is very important, surely, but we should not regard
it as an only objective in our life. We earn money to support our life, cover our human basic needs; moreover, it
makes our life much easier and more comfortable. If you have a large sum of money, you can buy many things.
Most people long for wealth as wealth is thought to bring happiness. However, often, wealth causes a great
deal of worry without much happiness. A millionaire is a very wealthy man, of course, yet his great wealth is
also a great responsibility. He may own many large estates and factories. These usually require a lot of attention.
There may be disputes between the millionaire and his workers over one trouble or another.
You can achieve everything if you have the effort and confidence about your ability and potentials. Having
confidence and strong effort will give you power to overcome all the difficulties in life and you will find your
real happiness. Personally, I am sure that to be happy or not depends on our lifestyle and our attitude. Be
optimistic and determined then you will get all that you want.
A. Choose the correct answer: (3 points)

1. According to the text, a millionaire who has great wealth …………………………………………….
a. should be responsible for his wealth.
b. should settle the disputes between his workers.

Read the text and do the tasks below:
------------------------------------------------- There are limits to how many sports can be included in the Olympic
Games. In the 2012 Summer Games, there were 26, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) have added
two more for 2016 (golf and rugby sevens). There are various criteria that the IOC bases its decisions on, but
the most important is probably international popularity. Sports tend to get included if they have a tradition and
areplayed and watched by enough people in enough countries.
------------------------------------------------- This leads to some interesting questions. Why, for example, was
baseball included from 1984, but then dropped for 2012? Although some think it is only popular in the USA, it
actuallyhas a large following in South America and Asia too. The main reason for leaving it out, according to
some, isa combination of geography and politics: There is little interest in the sport in Europe, and European
membersare in a majority on the IOC.
------------------------------------------------- Of the other sports not (yet) included, one that stands out is squash. It
has a long tradition and is played all over the world. It's also more obviously a real sport than some other
Olympic sports. In fact, it is more mysterious why certain sports are included. Take speed walking, for example
the rules say the athletes have to have both feet in contact with the ground at all times, and must keep their legs
straight. The result, to me at least, looks very silly.
------------------------------------------------- More importantly, it breaks one of my two personal rules for judging
serious sports because it puts artificial limits on what can be done. My other rule is that the scoring has to be
objectiveand measurable, not a matter of opinion.
A. Match the headings with the suitable paragraphs above: (4 points)
a. Two examples of strange decisions b. What makes an Olympic sport
c. My own criteria d. A change of mind
B. Decide whether each of the following is True or False: (3 points)
1. There were 26 sports in the 2016 Summer Games. ( )
2. Baseball is well- known in most European countries. ( )
3. The writer suggests that speed walking should not be included in the Olympics. ( )
C. Complete the following: (5 points)
1. The IOC included and for the 2016 summer games.

3. According to some, baseball was left out from the 2012 games for and

Question Number Two: (20 Marks)
Read the text about time management then answer the questions below:
Your success in high school can greatly be improved by being organized and using your time wisely. Staying
organized can help ease the burden of a busy schedule. Here are some important tips to remember:
Tip1---------------------------------------------------: Managing your time effectively requires differentiating
between what is important and what is urgent. Fill in things you must do (classes, work, practice, etc. that
you can't change).
Write down appointments and class assignments. Make a daily checklist and rank it according to your
priorities.
Tip 2---------------------------------------------------: Organizing the place where you study, or your bedroom.
Throw all the unnecessary files and papers away and leave the others in files so it will be easy for you to
reach.
Tip3---------------------------------------------------: Use daylight hours to study whenever possible. For most
students for every hour of study done in daylight hours, it will take them one and a half hours to do the same
task at night.
Tip 4---------------------------------------------------: The care and attention you give yourself is very important.
Scheduling time to relax, study breaks, eat regularly can help you both physically and mentally, enabling
you to accomplish tasks more quickly and easily.

Passage 1: (15 Marks)
Read the following passage then answer the questions that follow:
After the 1948 disaster, over 700.000 Palestinians lost everything and were forced into a Diaspora that spread
round the planet. For many years afterwards, the Palestinian cause received little attention or understanding
from the world. That changed dramatically in 1974, when the late national leader, President Yasser Arafat,
stepped onto the world's political stage to speak to the United Nation. His famous words rang out: Today, I
have come bearing an olive branch and a freedom fighters gun. Do not let the olive branch fall from my
hand.
This landmark speech showed the world two things: first that Palestinian cause could not be forgotten, and
secondly that there really could be a peaceful way forward. Arafat's words also affected Palestinians deeply.
They made many realise that it was necessary to build bridges between Palestine and the West. This was the
way to create international understanding and, one day, a free and independent Palestine.
In recent years, as a result of the continuous diplomatic struggle of the present Palestinian leadership, under
their representative President Mahmoud Abbas, more and more countries have officially recognized
Palestine as an independent state, and in 2012 the United Nations General Assembly voted to upgrade the
status of the Palestinians to that of a non-member observer state.

Reading Comprehension: ( 40 points)
Question Number One : ( 20 points)
Read the following text then answer the questions below:
Information and Communications Technology businesses could be the best hope for the economic
future of Palestine, according to experts inside and outside the country. A recent report said that the
ICT sector makes up over 5% of the Palestinian economy.
Why ICT? For Mustafa Jawad, the head of an online graphic design company, the answer is simple:
"For an ICT start-up, all you need is a computer and a connection. You can distribute your final
product by exporting it to the internet cloud." There are still problems, though. The main one is the
lack of networks in Palestine because access to the necessary wavebands is not available yet. Mustafa
was always good at art and languages, and when he finished school, everyone advised him to study
English at university. Instead, he taught himself how to programme and started making his own
software programmes. His first attempt was a game, which was so popular with his fellow students
that he decided starting his own company might be a real possibility.
His big breakthrough came when he attended a 'start-up weekend' in Ramallah. He managed to get a
small amount of financial support which gave him the time to develop more ideas. Perhaps more
importantly, he met other business people, both Palestinians and from other countries and learnt a lot
about the practical side of running a business and how to get his products noticed.
Mustafa is currently working on a programme that makes teaching of chemistry at schools more fun.
He has already had interest from within Palestine and from other countries in the Arab World. Like a
lot of other Palestinian business people, he wants to do something positive to help his country, but he
stresses that his company isn't a humanitarian operation.
'It's a business,' he says 'and the aim is to get good returns on the investment. One way he believes he
can help is to pass on what he's learnt to others even younger than he is. 'I learnt a lot from that start-
up weekend. When I go to the next one, I hope I'll learn more, but I'll also be able to advise others.

Read text then do the tasks below:
1. _________________________________________: On its own, money has little or no meaning. It
only gains meaning when a group of people all accept that it has a certain value when used for the
exchange of goods or services. To understand this, we need to look at what happened before money
was invented.
2. ________________________________________: In early societies, trade was carried out by
bartering: the exchange of one thing or service for another. If one person had a bag of salt and
another was good at making shoes, they could agree to exchange the salt for a pair of shoes. But this
only worked on two conditions. Firstly, they each had to want what the other person was offering,
and secondly they had to agree that the two things were of equal value.
3. _______________________________________: To solve this problem, people started to base
their trade on items that nearly everyone wanted, like salt, chocolate or cows. It didn't have to be
something that they needed, just something desirable. Cowrie shells are a well-known example of
this, and a step towards what we recognize as money, because they are easier to carry around than
cows or bags of salt.
4. _______________________________________: The Lydian's, who lived in what is now Turkey,
are thought to be the first people to use coins, over 2,500 years ago, although pieces of metal had
been used for centuries before. Other countries soon followed, making their own coins with agreed
values. The earliest paper money was probably in common use in China around the year 960.
5. _______________________________________: In this form, money itself doesn't need to be
made of something valuable; it is only important because of what it represents, or stands for. This is
why it is known as representative money. Until quite recently, for example, the British pound (£) was
based on a promise that the bank would exchange it for one pound in weight (lb) of silver.
6. _______________________________________: Nowadays, methods of exchange are moving
away from real coins and notes that need to be carried around. First, there were cheques, which have
now been more or less replaced by plastic credit or debit cards. More recent developments have
moved even further in this direction. One example is "contactless" bracelets that you wear on your
wrist and pass in front of a machine. Another is the growing popularity of "bitcoins", a digital
currency that can only be used on the internet.
A. Choose the best title for each paragraph: ( 6 points)

a. Towards unreality b. Before money

Question Number Two :( 10 points )

Read the following text ,then answer the questions below:
The study of history provides many benefits. First, we learn from the past. We repeat mistakes, but at
least we have opportunity to avoid them. Second, history teaches us what questions to ask about the
present. Contrary to some people's views, the study of history is not the memorization of names,
dates, and places. It is the thoughtful examination of the forces that have shaped the courses of
human life. We can examine events from the past and then draw inferences about current events.
History teaches us about the likely customs. Another benefit of the study of history is the broad range
of human experience which is covered. War and peace are certainly covered as national and
international affairs. However, matters of culture ( art , literature and music ) are also included in
historical studies. Human nature is an important part of history, emotions like passion, greed and
insecurity have influenced the shaping of word affairs. Anyone who thinks that the study of history is
boring has not really studied history.

A) Read the following text and then do the tasks below: (20 points)
The results of a new poll show that financial problems have taken over from the environment as the
main concern for young people. The survey asked 12.000 people aged between 14 and 18 what they
were most worried about. The clear winner was "finding a job", while the environment was only the
seventh greatest worry. This compares with similar polls in the last fifteen years, when
environmental worries came first. One of the poll's organizers commented that the results
demonstrated a clear change in attitude. " It's not just that getting a job is the main worry," he said.
"Also included in the top six worries were getting into debt (6th) and passing exams (4th=).
I'm convinced that there's a connection. Because of changes in the job market, there is more and
more pressure on young people nowadays to pass exams and go on to university in the hope of
finding a good job. And rising university fees make it inevitable that many students graduate from
university with huge debts.
Other concerns mentioned by large numbers of young people also tended to be personal rather than
social, including worries about relationships (2nd), health(3rd) and fitting in with peers(4th=).
Annette Coleman, director of the Green Earth organization, said yesterday that she was
disappointed, but not surprised, at the fall in the number of young people concerned about the
environment. 'It's not that the environmental concerns are less urgent than before – quite the
opposite in fact. It's just that after decades of publicity on topics like climate change, so little has
actually changed. A lot of people get the feeling that there's nothing we can do about it, and young
people in particular tend to be impatient. Of course, the other thing is that in times of economic
difficulty people are more likely to focus on worries that are more immediate and have an impact on
their daily lives.

After the 1948 disaster, over700.000 Palestinians lost everything and were forced into a Diaspora
that spread round the planet. For many years afterwards, the Palestinian cause received little
attention or understanding from the world. That changed dramatically in 1974, when the late
national leader, President Yasser Arafat, stepped onto the world's political stage to speak to the
United Nation. His famous words rang out: Today, I have come bearing an olive branch and a
freedom fighters gun. Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand. This landmark speech
showed the world two things: first that Palestinian cause could not be forgotten, and secondly that
there really could be a peaceful way forward. Arafat's words also affected Palestinians deeply.
They made many realize that it was necessary to build bridges between Palestine and the West.
This was the way to create international understanding and, one day, a free and independent
Palestine. In recent years, as a result of the continuous diplomatic struggle of the present
Palestinian leadership, under their representative President Mahmoud Abbas, more and more
countries have officially recognized Palestine as an independent state, and in 2012 the United
Nations General Assembly voted to upgrade the status of the Palestinians to that of a non-member
observer state. There is hope that at last, thanks to the efforts of Palestinians around the world, the
tide has finally turned.

In many countries, New Year’s celebrations begin on the evening of December 31 —New
Year’s Eve—and continue into the early hours of January 1. Revelers often enjoy meals
and snacks thought to bring good luck for the coming year. In Spain and several other
Spanish-speaking countries, people eat 12 grapes-symbolizing their hopes for the months
ahead-right before midnight. In many parts of the world, traditional New Year’s dishes
which are thought to resemble coins are supposed to bring financial success; examples
include lentils in Italy and black-eyed peas in the southern United States. Chinese and
Japanese people usually eat long noodles on New Year's Eve, which are a symbol of longevity,
due to their long shape. In Sweden and Norway, meanwhile, rice pudding with an almond
hidden inside is served on New Year’s Eve; it is said that whoever finds the nut can expect
12 months of good fortune.
In addition to food habits, there are many traditions connected with the New Year. In Denmark,
people take pride in the number of broken dishes outside of their door by the end of New Year's
Eve. It's a Danish tradition to throw dishes at your friends' and neighbours' front doors on New
Year's Eve—some say it's a means of leaving any aggression and ill-will behind before the New
Year begins—and it is said that the bigger your pile of broken dishes, the more luck you will have
in the upcoming year .While in Filipino it is a common tradition to open all the doors and
windows in the home. Some families also open drawers and cabinets. This is a way to welcome
positive energy into the home. While cleaning and loud noises scare away evil spirits, the
openness of the home is a warm welcome to the positive spirits.

Read the text and do the tasks below: ( 20 points )
(Text A) As a parent, I'm becoming increasingly worried about the effect communications
technology is having on young people. My fourteen-year-old son seems to spend hours every day
texting or chatting online, or updating his social media page. He says he's going to do his
homework, but an hour or two later still hasn't started it, and I can't help feeling that he's wasting
so much time on this instead of doing useful things, or even just being with his friends and
communicating with real people. Is all this texting affecting young people's ability to use language
properly? Is there a danger that they could become addicted to technology? What potential dangers
are out there in;2 the online world? I don't know enough about these new technologies to be able to
answer questions like these.
( Text B) Like it or not, today's young people are the connected generation. A recent study in the
US found that nearly a quarter of teenagers use social media sites at least ten times a day and 75%
own mobile phones. Texting is now the main form of communication for young people. The
figures obviously vary between countries, but the one thing we can predict is that they will
continue to rise.
Inevitably, this has led to panic among parents, teachers and other adults. But are these fears
justified? Not according to Dr. Amy Lehane, who has studied exactly how young people are using
technology. „If you look back,‟ she says, „you find the same panic reaction from older people to
the growth of the telephone or television. Often it comes from a fear of something they don't
understand, but our research indicates that young people are quite capable of telling the difference
between the online world and the real world, or between the types of language used for texts and
job applications. They're also very aware of the possible negative effects of technology: they
know, for example, that it's not a good idea to post a message like "I'm having a party next
Saturday on a public site."

Question NumberOne: (15 points )
Another great Palestinian intellectual was Hisham Sharabi (1927-2005), originally from Jaffa,
and later an important professor at Georgetown university near Washington. Like Saeed and
other Palestinians, he worked all his life to improve western understanding of Arab and
Palestinian issues. He was editor of the Journal of Palestine studies, and wrote many books,
including his famous Introduction to the Study of Palestine Society (1975). He also became
well-known for his television appearances and his journalism, as well as creating the Arab-
American Cultural Foundation, which builds American understanding of Arab and Islamic
culture, and setting up the Jerusalem Fund, a foundation that provides scholarships for
students from Palestine. Sharabi wrote about his 'bitterness and anger' when, in 1993, he
returned to Jaffa, his home town, to make a documentary:' As I settled there, I could hear
people speaking Russian, probably recent immigrants from the old Soviet Union. They were
full citizens in my country, and I was there only on a limited Israeli tourist visa.' However, he
went on to say that the only way forward was a political compromise founded on justice and
international law and UN Security Council resolutions. For him, this compromise had to
include the Right of Return.

Reading Comprehension: (40 marks)

Question Number One :
1) Read the text and do the tasks below (20 marks)
We often hear people say, ‘It’s a small world, isn’t it?’ It’s usually when they’ve just
experienced one of those strange coincidences that seem to happen in nearly everyone’s
lives. You know the kind of thing: you’re on holiday in another country and you run into a
person you know from home, even though neither of you knew that the other was going
there too.
People often think experiences like this are evidence of something mysterious happening,
some kind of hidden plan outside our knowledge. The scientific explanation is less exciting,
and perhaps that’s why some people are reluctant to accept it. Coincidences are events that
unexpectedly happen at the same time for no clear reason, or finding an unexpected
connection between seemingly random things or people. A very common example of the
latter is talking to a complete stranger and finding that you have the same birthday. What are
the chances of that happening?
Actually, the chances are better than you might think, and there’s a mathematical way to
prove it. It has been calculated that the number of people you need to have a 50% chance of
two of them sharing a birthday is 23. And when there are 48 people in a room,
the probability goes up to 95%. To put it another way, if there are only 50 people reading
these words (and I hope there are more!), one of them will almost certainly have the same
birthday as me.
The other part of the scientific explanation for coincidences is simply that there are so many
events in people’s lives. Just think of the number of people that you have had any kind of
connection with during your life. There are probably over 10,000, and the older you get, the
more there will be. If you are the kind of person who talks to strangers, you will definitely
come across coincidences. Basically, when you think about how complex our lives are,
especially nowadays with the Internet, the only surprising thing is that coincidences don’t
happen more often.

2- Read the following text and do the required tasks: ( 20 points)
Read the following passage then answer the questions below.
Although using the internet to shop is usually fairly easy, and there is often greater variety
available, it is always a risk because you cannot try on or see in details the item you wish to
buy. In fact, the immediate “convenience” of shopping in this way can end up being an
inconvenience if the item is faulty or does not fit, or is just not what the customer wanted.
It is true that the prices are better when you shop online, but, while it might be cheaper, there
is a clear disadvantage because you have to wait for the delivery of the purchases.
Some people might prefer not to have any personal contact while shopping online, but it can
save time in the end since there are always assistants to help with questions you might have
during the transaction. In addition to this, there is the issue of internet payment security;
however, recently this has improved a lot.
The internet has indeed given us a wider choice as consumers, as well as made some aspects
of shopping more pleasant and convenient. However, it is nearly impossible, in my opinion,
to forget the disadvantages we experience from time to time, since these can affect the way
in which we choose to shop.

After the 1948 disaster, over 700,000 Palestinians lost everything and were forced into a
Diaspora that spread round the planet. For many years afterwards, the Palestinian cause
received little attention or understanding from the world. That changed dramatically in 1974,
when the late national leader, President Yassir Arafat, stepped onto the world’s political
stage to speak to the United Nations. His famous words rang out: ‘Today, I have come
bearing an olive branch and a freedom fighter’s gun. Do not let the olive branch fall from my
hand.’
This landmark speech showed the world two things: first that the Palestinian cause could not
be forgotten, and secondly that there really could be a peaceful way forward. Arafat’s words
also affected Palestinians deeply. They made many realise that it was necessary to build
bridges between Palestine and the West. This was the way to create international
understanding and, one day, a free and independent Palestine.
The years since the national leader President Arafat’s speech to the UN have not been easy,
and there have been many setbacks. Yet there are also reasons for optimism. In recent years,
as a result of the continuous diplomatic struggle of the present Palestinian leadership, under
their representative President Mahmoud Abbas, more and more countries have officially
recognized Palestine as an independent state, and in 2012 the United Nations General
Assembly voted to upgrade the status of the Palestinians to that of a ‘non-member observer
state’. There is hope that at last, thanks to the efforts of Palestinians around the world, the

Question Number One: (20 points )
1…….. Information and Communications Technology businesses could be the best hope for the
economic future of Palestine, according to experts inside and outside the country. A recent report
said that the ICT sector makes up over 5% of the Palestinian economy.
2………Why ICT? For Mustafa Jawad, the 23-year-old head of an online graphic design company, the
answer is simple: ‘For an ICT start-up, all you need is a computer and a connection. You can
distribute your final product by exporting it to the Internet cloud.’ There are still problems, though.
The main one is a lack of 3G networks in Palestine, because access to the necessary
wavebands is not available yet.
3………Mustafa was always good at art and languages, and when he finished school everyone
advised him to study English at university. Instead, he taught himself how to programme and
started making his own software programmes. His first attempt was a game, which was so popular
with his fellow students that he decided starting his own company might be a real possibility.
4………His big breakthrough came when he attended a ‘start-up weekend’ in Ramallah. He
managed to get a small amount of financial support, which gave him the time to develop more
ideas. Perhaps more importantly, he met other business people, both Palestinian and from other
countries. He learnt a lot about the practical side of running a business and about how to get his
products noticed.
5………Mustafa is currently working on a programme that makes the teaching of chemistry in
schools more fun. He has already had interest from within Palestine and from other countries in
the Arab world. Like a lot of other young Palestinian business people, he wants to do something
positive to help his country, but he stresses that his company isn’t a humanitarian operation.
‘It’s a business,’ he says, ‘and the aim is to get good returns on the investment.’
6………One way he believes he can help is to pass on what he’s learnt to others even younger than
he is. ‘I learnt a lot from that start-up weekend. When I go to the next one, I hope I’ll learn more,
but I’ll also be able to advise others.’

Maintaining long-term friendships requires commitment and love from both sides. Can you keep
your friends forever? Here are the top five tips for turning someone you know into a lasting
friend.
2
1-………………………If your friend is going through something, try to help them through it. Sometimes,
they just want to talk, so provide a listening ear. But if they need help, try to offer that. When you
need advice, ask them for it. Always be encouraging to one another.
2-………………………. More important than phone calls and visits is truthfulness. Be open with your
friends so they know the real you are, even when you aren’t so proud of yourself. Friendships can
only grow when honesty is present, so always be yourself.
3-……………………. Always honor your friends. If others are gossiping about them, either intervene or
walk away. Always keep their secrets. If you tell them that you’ll do something, do it without
having to be reminded.
4- ……………Just like you have your imperfections, know that your friends have them, too. Instead of
trying to make them think like you about certain issues, accept their differences. This doesn’t
mean letting them treat you badly, but do know that they are human and unique.

A. Read the following text, then answer the questions below: (15 points)
Along with President Arafat, other prominent representatives of this Palestinian generation in exile
played vital role in bringing the cause to the world’s attention. One of these was the great writer and
academic Edward Said, originally from Jerusalem, who fought with all the strength of his great mind for
freedom, equality and justice in general, and for the future of Palestine in particular. On his death, the
poet Mahmoud Darwish, himself an important and well-known international figure, wrote: ‘I cannot say
goodbye to Edwar Said, so present is he among and within us, and so alive around the world.’
Another great Palestinian intellectual was Hisham Sharabi (1927–2005), originally from Jaffa, and later
a important professor at Georgetown University near Washington. Like Said and other Palestinians, he
worked all his life to improve western understanding of Arab and Palestinian issues. He was editor of the
Journal of Palestine Studies, and wrote many books, including his famous Introduction to the Study of
Arab Society (1975). He also became well known for his television appearances and his journalism, as
well as creating the Arab-American Cultural Foundation, which builds American understanding of Arab
and Islamic culture, and setting up the Jerusalem Fund,
a foundation that provides scholarships for students from Palestine.
Sharabi wrote about his ‘bitterness and anger’ when, in 1993, he returned to Jaffa, his home town, to
make a documentary: ‘As I stood there, I could hear people speaking Russian, probably recent immigrants
from the old Soviet Union. They were full citizens in my country, and I was there only on a limited Israeli
tourist visa.’ However, he went on to say that the only way forward was a political compromise founded
on justice an international law and UN Security Council resolutions. For him, this compromise had to
Sadly, none of these great Palestinians lived to see the end of the Diaspora. They did, however, inspire a
new generation to follow in their footsteps. Motivated by love of country and highly educated, they have
risen, often from poor beginnings to importance and success across the arts and sciences. Today, they
continue to build bridges of understanding that will one day carry the Palestinian nation home.

Question Number One: Read the text about business start-up and complete the tasks below: (20 points)
Information and Communications Technology businesses could be the best hope for the economic future of
Palestine, according to experts inside and outside the country.
Why ICT? For Mustafa Jawad, the 23-year-old head of an online graphic design company, the answer is simple:
‘For an ICT start-up, all you need is a computer and a connection. You can distribute your final product by
exporting it to the Internet cloud.’ There are still problems, though. The main one is a lack of 3G networks in
Palestine, because access to the necessary wavebands is not available yet.
Mustafa was good at art and languages, and when he finished school, everyone advised him to study English at
university. Instead, he taught himself how to programme and started making his own software programmes.
His first attempt was a game, which was so popular with his fellow students that he decided starting his own
company might be a real possibility. His big breakthrough came when he attended a ‘start-up weekend’ in
Ramallah. He managed to get a small amount of financial support, which gave him the time to develop more
ideas. Perhaps more importantly, he met other business people, both Palestinian and from other countries. He
learnt a lot about the practical side of running a business and about how to get his products noticed.
Mustafa is currently working on a programme that makes the teaching of chemistry in schools more fun. He has
already had interest from within Palestine and from other Arab countries. Like a lot of other young Palestinian
business people, he wants to do something positive to help his country, but he stresses that his company isn’t a
humanitarian operation. ‘It’s a business,’ he says, ‘and the aim is to get good returns on the investment.
He believes he can help is to pass on what he’s learnt to others. ‘I learnt a lot from that start-up weekend. When I
go to the next one, I hope I’ll learn more, but I’ll also be able to advice others.’

Read the text about Building Bridges to the World and complete the tasks below:
Along with President Arafat, other prominent representatives of this Palestinian generation in exile played
a vital role in bringing the cause to the world’s attention. One of these was the great writer and academic Edward
Said, originally from Jerusalem, who fought with all the strength of his great mind for freedom, equality and
justice in general, and for the future of Palestine in particular. On his death, the poet Mahmoud Darwish, himself
an important and well-known international figure, wrote: ‘I cannot say goodbye to Edward Said, so present is he
among and within us, and so alive around the world.’
Another great Palestinian intellectual was Hisham Sharabi (1927–2005), originally from Jaffa, and later an
important professor at Georgetown University near Washington. Like Said and other Palestinians, he worked all
his life to improve western understanding of Arab and Palestinian issues. He was editor of the Journal of Palestine
Studies, and wrote many books, including his famous Introduction to the Study of Arab Society (1975). He also
became well known for his television appearances and his journalism, as well as creating the Arab-American
Cultural Foundation, which builds American understanding of Arab and Islamic culture, and setting up the
Jerusalem Fund, a foundation that provides scholarships for students from Palestine.
Sharabi wrote about his ‘bitterness and anger’ when, in 1993, he returned to Jaffa to make a documentary:
‘As I stood there, I could hear people speaking Russian, probably recent immigrants from the old Soviet Union.
They were full citizens in my country, and I was there only on a limited Israeli tourist visa.’ However, he went
on to say that the only way forward was a political compromise founded on justice and international law and
UN Security Council resolutions. For him, this compromise had to include the Right of Return.

He fought for freedom, equality and justice in general, and for the future of Palestine in particular.

Read the text about Money and complete the tasks below:
Earning a lot of money may be the purpose in life of some people but in my opinion, money is not
everything, it is just the tool leading us to a better life. Money is very important, surely, but we should not regard
it as an only objective in our life. We earn money to support our life, cover our human basic needs; moreover, it
makes our life much easier and more comfortable. If you have a large sum of money, you can buy many things.
Most people long for wealth as wealth is thought to bring happiness. However, often, wealth causes a great
deal of worry without much happiness. A millionaire is a very wealthy man, of course, yet his great wealth is
also a great responsibility. He may own many large estates and factories. These usually require a lot of attention.
There may be disputes between the millionaire and his workers over one trouble or another.
You can achieve everything if you have the effort and confidence about your ability and potentials. Having
confidence and strong effort will give you power to overcome all the difficulties in life and you will find your
real happiness. Personally, I am sure that to be happy or not depends on our lifestyle and our attitude. Be
optimistic and determined then you will get all that you want.
A. Choose the correct answer: (3 points)

2012 Summer Games, there were 26, and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) have added two more for
2016 (golf and rugby sevens). There are various criteria that the IOC bases its decisions on, but the most important
is probably international popularity. Sports tend to get included if they have a tradition and are played and watched
by enough people in enough countries.
A change of mind This leads to some interesting questions. Why, for example, was baseball included from 1984,
but then dropped for 2012? Although some think it is only popular in the USA, it actuallyhas a large following in
South America and Asia too. The main reason for leaving it out, according to some, is a combination of geography
and politics: There is little interest in the sport in Europe, and European membersare in a majority on the IOC.
Two examples of strange decisions Of the other sports not (yet) included, one that stands out is squash. It has a
long tradition and is played all over the world. It's also more obviously a real sport than some other Olympic sports.
In fact, it is more mysterious why certain sports are included. Take speed walking, for example the rules say the
athletes have to have both feet in contact with the ground at all times, and must keep their legs straight. The result,
to me at least, looks very silly.
My own criteria More importantly, it breaks one of my two personal rules for judging serious sports because it
puts artificial limits on what can be done. My other rule is that the scoring has to be objective and measurable, not
a matter of opinion.

Read the following passage then answer the questions that follow:
After the 1948 disaster, over 700.000 Palestinians lost everything and were forced into a Diaspora that spread
round the planet. For many years afterwards, the Palestinian cause received little attention or understanding
from the world. That changed dramatically in 1974, when the late national leader, President Yasser Arafat,
stepped onto the world's political stage to speak to the United Nation. His famous words rang out: Today, I
have come bearing an olive branch and a freedom fighters gun. Do not let the olive branch fall from my
hand.
This landmark speech showed the world two things: first that Palestinian cause could not be forgotten, and
secondly that there really could be a peaceful way forward. Arafat's words also affected Palestinians deeply.
They made many realise that it was necessary to build bridges between Palestine and the West. This was the
way to create international understanding and, one day, a free and independent Palestine.

Information and Communications Technology businesses could be the best hope for the economic
future of Palestine, according to experts inside and outside the country. A recent report said that the
ICT sector makes up over 5% of the Palestinian economy.
Why ICT? For Mustafa Jawad, the head of an online graphic design company, the answer is simple:
"For an ICT start-up, all you need is a computer and a connection. You can distribute your final
product by exporting it to the internet cloud." There are still problems, though. The main one is the
lack of networks in Palestine because access to the necessary wavebands is not available yet. Mustafa
was always good at art and languages, and when he finished school, everyone advised him to study
English at university. Instead, he taught himself how to programme and started making his own
software programmes. His first attempt was a game, which was so popular with his fellow students
that he decided starting his own company might be a real possibility.
His big breakthrough came when he attended a 'start-up weekend' in Ramallah. He managed to get a
small amount of financial support which gave him the time to develop more ideas. Perhaps more
importantly, he met other business people, both Palestinians and from other countries and learnt a lot
about the practical side of running a business and how to get his products noticed.
Mustafa is currently working on a programme that makes teaching of chemistry at schools more fun.
He has already had interest from within Palestine and from other countries in the Arab World. Like a
lot of other Palestinian business people, he wants to do something positive to help his country, but he
stresses that his company isn't a humanitarian operation.
'It's a business,' he says 'and the aim is to get good returns on the investment. One way he believes he
can help is to pass on what he's learnt to others even younger than he is. 'I learnt a lot from that start-
up weekend. When I go to the next one, I hope I'll learn more, but I'll also be able to advise others.
l. Why did Mustafa choose ICT field?
For an ICT start-up, all you need is a computer and a connection. You can distribute your final
product by exporting it to the internet cloud
2.What is the main problem for ICT companies in Palestine?
the lack of networks in Palestine because access to the necessary wavebands is not available yet.

Read text then do the tasks below:
1. _____________________e____________________: On its own, money has little or no meaning.
It only gains meaning when a group of people all accept that it has a certain value when used for the
exchange of goods or services. To understand this, we need to look at what happened before money
was invented.
2. ____________________b____________________: In early societies, trade was carried out by
bartering: the exchange of one thing or service for another. If one person had a bag of salt and
another was good at making shoes, they could agree to exchange the salt for a pair of shoes. But this
only worked on two conditions. Firstly, they each had to want what the other person was offering,
and secondly they had to agree that the two things were of equal value.
3. _____________________c__________________: To solve this problem, people started to base
their trade on items that nearly everyone wanted, like salt, chocolate or cows. It didn't have to be
something that they needed, just something desirable. Cowrie shells are a well-known example of
this, and a step towards what we recognize as money, because they are easier to carry around than
cows or bags of salt.
4. _________________d______________________: The Lydian's, who lived in what is now
Turkey, are thought to be the first people to use coins, over 2,500 years ago, although pieces of metal
had been used for centuries before. Other countries soon followed, making their own coins with
agreed values. The earliest paper money was probably in common use in China around the year 960.
5. _________________f______________________: In this form, money itself doesn't need to be
made of something valuable; it is only important because of what it represents, or stands for. This is
why it is known as representative money. Until quite recently, for example, the British pound (£) was
based on a promise that the bank would exchange it for one pound in weight (lb) of silver.
6. __________________a_____________________: Nowadays, methods of exchange are moving
away from real coins and notes that need to be carried around. First, there were cheques, which have
now been more or less replaced by plastic credit or debit cards. More recent developments have
moved even further in this direction. One example is "contactless" bracelets that you wear on your
wrist and pass in front of a machine. Another is the growing popularity of "bitcoins", a digital
currency that can only be used on the internet.
A. Choose the best title for each paragraph: ( 6 points)

a. Towards unreality b. Before money
c. Different examples of money d. The beginning of money as we know it.

Question Number Two :( 10 points )
Read the following text ,then answer the questions below:
The study of history provides many benefits. First, we learn from the past. We repeat mistakes, but at
least we have opportunity to avoid them. Second, history teaches us what questions to ask about the
present. Contrary to some people's views, the study of history is not the memorization of names,
dates, and places. It is the thoughtful examination of the forces that have shaped the courses of
human life. We can examine events from the past and then draw inferences about current events.
History teaches us about the likely customs. Another benefit of the study of history is the broad range
of human experience which is covered. War and peace are certainly covered as national and
international affairs. However, matters of culture ( art , literature and music ) are also included in
historical studies. Human nature is an important part of history, emotions like passion, greed and
insecurity have influenced the shaping of word affairs. Anyone who thinks that the study of history is
boring has not really studied history.

A) Read the following text and then do the tasks below: (20 points)
The results of a new poll show that financial problems have taken over from the environment as the
main concern for young people. The survey asked 12.000 people aged between 14 and 18 what they
were most worried about. The clear winner was "finding a job", while the environment was only the
seventh greatest worry. This compares with similar polls in the last fifteen years, when environmental
worries came first. One of the poll's organizers commented that the results demonstrated a clear
change in attitude. " It's not just that getting a job is the main worry," he said. "Also included in the
top six worries were getting into debt (6th) and passing exams (4th=).
I'm convinced that there's a connection. Because of changes in the job market, there is more and more
pressure on young people nowadays to pass exams and go on to university in the hope of finding a
good job. And rising university fees make it inevitable that many students graduate from university
with huge debts.
Other concerns mentioned by large numbers of young people also tended to be personal rather than
social, including worries about relationships (2nd), health(3rd) and fitting in with peers(4th=).
Annette Coleman, director of the Green Earth organization, said yesterday that she was disappointed,
but not surprised, at the fall in the number of young people concerned about the environment. 'It's not
that the environmental concerns are less urgent than before – quite the opposite in fact. It's just that
after decades of publicity on topics like climate change, so little has actually changed. A lot of people
get the feeling that there's nothing we can do about it, and young people in particular tend to be
impatient. Of course, the other thing is that in times of economic difficulty people are more likely to
focus on worries that are more immediate and have an impact on their daily lives.

After the 1948 disaster, over700.000 Palestinians lost everything and were forced into a Diaspora
that spread round the planet. For many years afterwards, the Palestinian cause received little
attention or understanding from the world. That changed dramatically in 1974, when the late
national leader, President Yasser Arafat, stepped onto the world's political stage to speak to the
United Nation. His famous words rang out: Today, I have come bearing an olive branch and a
freedom fighters gun. Do not let the olive branch fall from my hand. This landmark speech showed
the world two things: first that Palestinian cause could not be forgotten, and secondly that there
really could be a peaceful way forward. Arafat's words also affected Palestinians deeply. They made
many realize that it was necessary to build bridges between Palestine and the West. This was the
way to create international understanding and, one day, a free and independent Palestine. In recent
years, as a result of the continuous diplomatic struggle of the present Palestinian leadership, under
Palestine as an independent state, and in 2012 the United Nations General Assembly voted to
upgrade the status of the Palestinians to that of a non-member observer state. There is hope that at
last, thanks to the efforts of Palestinians around the world, the tide has finally turned.

In many countries, New Year’s celebrations begin on the evening of December 31 —New
Year’s Eve—and continue into the early hours of January 1. Revelers often enjoy meals and
snacks thought to bring good luck for the coming year. In Spain and several other S panish-
speaking countries, people eat 12 grapes-symbolizing their hopes for the months ahead-right
before midnight. In many parts of the world, traditional New Year’s dishes which are
thought to resemble coins are supposed to bring financial success; examples include lentils
in Italy and black-eyed peas in the southern United States. Chinese and Japanese people usually
eat long noodles on New Year's Eve, which are a symbol of longevity, due to their long shape. In
Sweden and Norway, meanwhile, rice pudding with an almond hidden inside is served on
New Year’s Eve; it is said that whoever finds the nut can expect 12 months of good fortune.
In addition to food habits, there are many traditions connected with the New Year. In Denmark,
people take pride in the number of broken dishes outside of their door by the end of New Year's
Eve. It's a Danish tradition to throw dishes at your friends' and neighbours' front doors on New
Year's Eve—some say it's a means of leaving any aggression and ill-will behind before the New
Year begins—and it is said that the bigger your pile of broken dishes, the more luck you will have
in the upcoming year .While in Filipino it is a common tradition to open all the doors and windows
in the home. Some families also open drawers and cabinets. This is a way to welcome positive
energy into the home. While cleaning and loud noises scare away evil spirits, the openness of the
home is a warm welcome to the positive spirits.

Reading Comprehension ( 40 points )
Question Number One : ( 20 points )
Read the text and do the tasks below: ( 20 points )
(Text A) As a parent, I'm becoming increasingly worried about the effect communications
technology is having on young people. My fourteen-year-old son seems to spend hours every day
texting or chatting online, or updating his social media page. He says he's going to do his
homework, but an hour or two later still hasn't started it, and I can't help feeling that he's wasting
so much time on this instead of doing useful things, or even just being with his friends and
communicating with real people. Is all this texting affecting young people's ability to use language
properly? Is there a danger that they could become addicted to technology? What potential dangers
are out there in;2 the online world? I don't know enough about these new technologies to be able to
answer questions like these.
( Text B) Like it or not, today's young people are the connected generation. A recent study in the
US found that nearly a quarter of teenagers use social media sites at least ten times a day and 75%
own mobile phones. Texting is now the main form of communication for young people. The
figures obviously vary between countries, but the one thing we can predict is that they will
continue to rise.
Inevitably, this has led to panic among parents, teachers and other adults. But are these fears
justified? Not according to Dr. Amy Lehane, who has studied exactly how young people are using
technology. „If you look back,‟ she says, „you find the same panic reaction from older people to
the growth of the telephone or television. Often it comes from a fear of something they don't
understand, but our research indicates that young people are quite capable of telling the difference
between the online world and the real world, or between the types of language used for texts and
job applications. They're also very aware of the possible negative effects of technology: they
know, for example, that it's not a good idea to post a message like "I'm having a party next
Saturday on a public site."

Another great Palestinian intellectual was Hisham Sharabi (1927-2005), originally from Jaffa,
and later an important professor at Georgetown university near Washington. Like Saeed and
other Palestinians, he worked all his life to improve western understanding of Arab and
Palestinian issues. He was editor of the Journal of Palestine studies, and wrote many books,
including his famous Introduction to the Study of Palestine Society (1975). He also became
well-known for his television appearances and his journalism, as well as creating the Arab-
American Cultural Foundation, which builds American understanding of Arab and Islamic
culture, and setting up the Jerusalem Fund, a foundation that provides scholarships for
students from Palestine. Sharabi wrote about his 'bitterness and anger' when, in 1993, he
returned to Jaffa, his home town, to make a documentary:' As I settled there, I could hear
people speaking Russian, probably recent immigrants from the old Soviet Union. They were
full citizens in my country, and I was there only on a limited Israeli tourist visa.' However, he
went on to say that the only way forward was a political compromise founded on justice and
international law and UN Security Council resolutions. For him, this compromise had to

Reading Comprehension: (50 marks)

Question Number One :
1) Read the text and do the tasks below (30 marks)
We often hear people say, ‘It’s a small world, isn’t it?’ It’s usually when they’ve just
experienced one of those strange coincidences that seem to happen in nearly everyone’s
lives. You know the kind of thing: you’re on holiday in another country and you run into a
person you know from home, even though neither of you knew that the other was going
there too.
People often think experiences like this are evidence of something mysterious happening,
some kind of hidden plan outside our knowledge. The scientific explanation is less exciting,
and perhaps that’s why some people are reluctant to accept it. Coincidences are events that
unexpectedly happen at the same time for no clear reason, or finding an unexpected
connection between seemingly random things or people. A very common example of the
latter is talking to a complete stranger and finding that you have the same birthday. What are
the chances of that happening?
Actually, the chances are better than you might think, and there’s a mathematical way to
prove it. It has been calculated that the number of people you need to have a 50% chance of
two of them sharing a birthday is 23. And when there are 48 people in a room,
the probability goes up to 95%. To put it another way, if there are only 50 people reading
these words (and I hope there are more!), one of them will almost certainly have the same
birthday as me.
The other part of the scientific explanation for coincidences is simply that there are so many
events in people’s lives. Just think of the number of people that you have had any kind of
connection with during your life. There are probably over 10,000, and the older you get, the
more there will be. If you are the kind of person who talks to strangers, you will definitely
come across coincidences. Basically, when you think about how complex our lives are,
especially nowadays with the Internet, the only surprising thing is that coincidences don’t
happen more often.

2- Read the following text and do the required tasks: ( 20 points)
Read the following passage then answer the questions below.
Although using the internet to shop is usually fairly easy, and there is often greater variety
available, it is always a risk because you cannot try on or see in details the item you wish to
buy. In fact, the immediate “convenience” of shopping in this way can end up being an
inconvenience if the item is faulty or does not fit, or is just not what the customer wanted.
It is true that the prices are better when you shop online, but, while it might be cheaper, there
is a clear disadvantage because you have to wait for the delivery of the purchases.
Some people might prefer not to have any personal contact while shopping online, but it can
save time in the end since there are always assistants to help with questions you might have
during the transaction. In addition to this, there is the issue of internet payment security;
however, recently this has improved a lot.
The internet has indeed given us a wider choice as consumers, as well as made some aspects
of shopping more pleasant and convenient. However, it is nearly impossible, in my opinion,
2
to forget the disadvantages we experience from time to time, since these can affect the way
in which we choose to shop.

After the 1948 disaster, over 700,000 Palestinians lost everything and were forced into a
Diaspora that spread round the planet. For many years afterwards, the Palestinian cause
received little attention or understanding from the world. That changed dramatically in 1974,
when the late national leader, President Yassir Arafat, stepped onto the world’s political
stage to speak to the United Nations. His famous words rang out: ‘Today, I have come
bearing an olive branch and a freedom fighter’s gun. Do not let the olive branch fall from my
hand.’
This landmark speech showed the world two things: first that the Palestinian cause could not
be forgotten, and secondly that there really could be a peaceful way forward. Arafat’s words
also affected Palestinians deeply. They made many realise that it was necessary to build
bridges between Palestine and the West. This was the way to create international
understanding and, one day, a free and independent Palestine.
The years since the national leader President Arafat’s speech to the UN have not been easy,
and there have been many setbacks. Yet there are also reasons for optimism. In recent years,
as a result of the continuous diplomatic struggle of the present Palestinian leadership, under
their representative President Mahmoud Abbas, more and more countries have officially
recognized Palestine as an independent state, and in 2012 the United Nations General
Assembly voted to upgrade the status of the Palestinians to that of a ‘non-member observer
state’. There is hope that at last, thanks to the efforts of Palestinians around the world, the
