I. Read the following text then do the following tasks
below:
Musa al-Khawarizmi from Khawarizm, who lived from
780 to 850 CE, was one of the world’s greatest
mathematicians. He wrote the earliest Islamic works on
arithmetic and algebra, which were the main authority on
the subject for many years. He made Greek and Hindu
mathematical knowledge comprehensible to people of his
time and supported the use of Hindu numerals. He is
particularly famous for being the author of the oldest
Arabic work on arithmetic known as Kitabul Jama wat
Tafriq. Another mathematician, Al-Nasawi, wrote Al-
Mughni Fil Hissab Al-Hindi in which he explained
fractions and other complex ideas in a modern way. He also
introduced the decimal system in place of the sexagesimal
system, which was based on the number sixty, rather than
the number ten. A third scholar, Nasir-ud-din Toosi, wrote
many valuable books, including Al-mutawassat, a concise
explanation of arithmetic in Arabic and Persian. Arabic
numerals were the greatest contribution made by Arab
thinkers to mathematics. The most important of these
numerals was zero, which was used in the Arab world at
least 250 years before it was known in the West. Before the
invention of zero it was necessary to arrange all figures in
columns to differentiate between tens, hundreds,
thousands, etc.

II. Read the following text then do the following tasks
below:
Bernard Hinault, a very talented French sportsman, won
over 200 races and broke numerous records. By the time he
retired, he had worn the prestigious ‘Yellow Jersey’ – one
of cycling’s most sought after prizes.
During his career Hinault gained the nickname ‘the badger’
for being extremely competitive and dedicating himself
fully to each race.
A famous rivalry existed between Hinault and another elite
cyclist, Greg Lamond. During the 1986 Tour de France, the
two men fought continuously to win the championship,
with Lamond emerging as the eventual winner.
Following his retirement in 1986, Hinault did not lose any
of his dedication to the world of cycling. To this day he is
heavily involved in many high-profile cycling events, and
is often seen on the stage at awards ceremonies. Hinault has
written several books telling the story of his rise to success;
they also include details of the difficulties he had
encountered on the way: the crashes, injuries and problems.
As one of the best cyclists, he was encouraged to write a
book for aspiring professional cyclists, giving them tips
and realistic advice about how to reach the top.
