5- Read the flllowing passage then answer the questions (4marks)
Nothing we do in this world is done in isolation. It is now recognized
that being able to work successfully with other people is one of the major keys
to success. In every situation where you are in a group, you will need a
skilled leader. All groups need leaders and all successful groups have good
leaders. Groups without leaders always break down. Members of a leaderless
group often begin to feel dissatisfied and frustrated. There are often
arguments and tensions between people as there is nobody to keep the goals
clear.
Some people are natural leaders. True
leaders are born and you can spot them. They are people who combine toughness,
fairness and humour. Although a lot of people agree that there are some
natural-born leaders, most people now recognize that leadership can also be
taught in training courses which use activities and techniques to develop a
range of qualities which are necessary to be a good leader, such as
self-confidence, calmness and intelligence. They also need to be able to work
under pressure. Lastly, and probably most importantly, good leaders need to be
sensitive, sociable and be able to get on with a wide range of people. Good
leadership is the ability to influence others and allow all members of the
group to contribute.
A-Answer the following questions:
1-What are the qualities of good leaders?
2-Why are people in a leaderless group often
dissatisfied and frustrated?

mean?

Since the
early 1950s, more and more flowers have been grown in Holland. The country is

growers specialise in one or two types of plants. Twelve thousand different
flowers and plants are grown in Holland, and every year new types are
developed. Growers also share information with each other so that their
businesses become more successful.

are exported to other European countries. It is not unusual to see huge flower
lorries from Holland in British towns and cities delivering flowers to shops
and supermarkets.

book that my friends could read in a few days. This worried my parents, so they
took me for an eye test. The doctor said there was nothing wrong with my eyes'
and, said he thought I was probably,
lazy. This was very annoying, but I was pleased to know that I did not need to
wear glasses. Now I am older, I understand my problem better. The truth is that
I cannot concentrate on what I am reading if there is any noise around me, so, for example, I cannot
read in dl room where people are talking or watching television. I sometimes
read in bed where it is quiet, but If
I am tired, I fall a sleep after

Read the
following passage then answer the questions:
Flowers produce a fine powder
called pollen, which is carried by the wind or by insects to other flowers of
the same type so that they can produce seeds. Pollination, the carrying of
pollen from one flower to another, is necessary for the reproduction of plants
and for the production of food. Scientists estimate that one third of our food
depends on insects, mostly bees, for pollination.
But in recent years, there has been
a big drop in the populations of pollinators worldwide. There are several
reasons. The use of pesticides has had the side effect of killing pollinators.
Air pollution prevents insects from smelling and finding flowers, which they
need for food. Diseases are killing many insects. Growing cities are destroying
the environments where pollinators live. Recently, shortages of fruit and
vegetables in India were blamed on the loss of pollinators. Clearly, it is
important that we find solutions quickly.
Answer the
following questions
1. What is a pollinator? 2. Is all pollen carried by insects?
Explain.
3. Give two reasons why the number of
pollinators has dropped.
Choose the
correct answer
4. Which is the best title for this text?
a- The Importance of Bees b-Pollinators in
India
c- The Loss of Pollinators. d- Where Have All the
Flowers Gone?
5. How does air pollution affect pollination?
a- Flowers can't make
pollen.
b- Insects can't smell the
flowers, so they can't find them to pollinate them.
c- Insects can't pollinate
the flowers because they can't see them.
d-Pollution kills insects.
