6. Read the following passage, then answer the questions. (7 marks)
Some animals in northern countries have a way to adapt to long, cold winter weather. It is called hibernation. Hibernation is like deep sleep. This allows the animals to save their energy when there is no food. These animals’ bodies go through several changes during their hibernation. For example, the bear is the largest animal that hibernates. Its heart normally beats 40 to 50 times per minute. When the bear is hibernating, its heart beats only 8 to 12 times per minute. Its body temperature also drops.
Some animals hibernate all winter without waking. Other animals wake up now and then to eat some of the food they have stored for winter.
When the weather becomes colder in the autumn, a substance called Hibernation Inducement Trigger (HIT) becomes active in the blood of animals that hibernate. The HIT makes the animals start to prepare for winter by either storing food or eating a lot to add more fat to their bodies. This fat helps their bodies to keep warm and is a source of energy during the animals’ hibernation.

What inspires someone to make a new invention? Most inventors are inspired by need. Louis Braille, who was born in 1809, lost his sight when he was a child.

Louis Braille invented a better system based on raised dots. The dots are put into patterns in a rectangle which has six positions for dots. The different arrangements of the dots represent the letters of the alphabet or other characters. There are symbols for punctuation marks and for math and music. A blind person reads by feeling the dots with their finger tips.

Natural resources are materials found on the earth. They include air, water, and land. They also include rocks, minerals, and soil. Even living things are natural resources. Some of earth's resources can be used and replaced over and over again. These are called renewable resources. Others cannot be replaced quickly. These are called nonrenewable resources.
Examples of renewable resources are fresh air, water, trees, other living things. People cut down trees to use their wood to build and make paper. If a tree is cut, another can be planted in its place. As it grows, it helps supply living things with oxygen, which is another important resource. Animals are used for food by other living things and they can reproduce naturally.
Coal, oil, copper, silver, and gold are all examples of nonrenewable resources. These substances and materials are available in limited amounts and cannot be replaced quickly. Coal and oil deposits يترسب beneath the earth formed millions of years ago. These resources are the result of the decay of certain plants and animals. Natural resources are necessary for life on earth. Someday these precious materials will run out. We need to protect them by reducing, reusing, and recycling them.

The rough climate of the Sahara has actually caused the pyramid to become 30 feet less than its original height. The
pyramid was such an amazing feat عمل بطولى أو فذ of engineering, that it remained the tallest building in the world for over 3800 years! The entire pyramid was originally covered with polished limestone to make it shine brilliantly in the sun.
Most Egyptologists, scientists who study ancient Egypt, agree that the Great Pyramid was built around 2560 BC, a little more than 4,500 years ago. It took tens of thousands of workers twenty years to build. The pyramid contains over two million stone blocks. Although most of the blocks weigh two or three tons, some weigh up to 80 tons! The Great Pyramid of Giza was ordered to be built by the Pharaoh Khufu as a magnificent tomb. (His) advisor, Hemon, was the pyramid's architect. Khufu's pyramid is actually part of a complex of pyramids that includes the Pyramid of Khafre, the smaller Pyramid of Menkaure, a variety of smaller pyramids and structures, and the Great Sphinx. The Great Pyramid of Giza is the last remaining of the Seven Wonders of the World.

If you dream of working as a tourist guide, you need to have special qualifications for that job. First, you must have an excellent command of a foreign language as you’ll need it to translate the information you are giving to foreigners into their own language. So if you aren’t good at a foreign language, you should work on improving it. You can apply to take a course at any centre where experts teach foreign languages or you can teach yourself by reading special books that help you to improve your language.
