Passage Three

Most of the guests who come on our trips have never been to Egypt before.We want to make everyone comfortable and at ease, but we do always get the same question in advance of a trip.So here I will give you some travel tips.What should I wear?

If you are lucky enough to visit Egypt between November and February, pack a sweater.You’ll need it --the desert gets chilly at night..During the day, the temperature will be agreeable and comfortable.Any other time, pack as if you are going to phoenix or Vegas in August.For the ladies bathing suits are normal if there’s a pool where you’re going, but leave the string bikini at home --it is a Muslim country, after all.Last, if you’re planning on visiting any mosques or certain parts of upper Egypt, ladies will need to plan on bringing something that comes at least to the elbows, and no shorts for men or women in those areas.What special things do I need to pack?

One of my favorite things in the world to bring to Egypt is an Evian Mister, a sprayer with a fine mist of Evian water.You may be able to find it in your local drug store.Spray a little on your

face or head, and your body temperature will feel like it’s dropped 10 to 15 degrees.Other items include your camera, sun block and extra batteries.How do I communicate with home?

Internet cafes are plentiful everywhere, especially in Cairo, Luxor, and Alexandria.If you have international calling on your phone, you should be able to use it----AT&T and sprint both work internationally for sure, but may sure you have the international coverage.A satellite phone is best if you are certain to need coverage in the middle of the country, like while sailing up the Nile, but for most people these days a cell phone is fine.What medical preparation do I need?

In a word: none! The one thing you may come down with in Egypt is politely called “Pharoah’s Revenge” The thing that knocks out Pharoah’s Revenge is a regionally produced medicine ,and is available at every drugstore for $ 1 a box.DON’T drink local water, DO drink bottled water, avoid the skins of fresh vegetables, and you will be fine.

44.What clothing is proper for ladies visiting a mosque?

A.string bikinis

B.Long-sleeve closes

C.Bathing suits

D.Shorts

45.What’s the use of an Evian Mister?

A.to relieve your thirst

B.To prevent sunburns

C.To cool yourself down

D.To drive away insects

46.What information is provided about distance communication?

A.A cell phone is enough for most people.

B.AT&T and sprint offer free service in Egypt.

C.A satellite phone does not work in Mid-Egypt.

D.Internet cafes are only available in big cities.

47.What does “Pharoah’s Revenge” probably refer to in the last paragraph?

A.A curse

B.A legend

C.Disease

D.Vegetable

49.Which word best describe the homeless man?

A.Angry

B.Untidy

C.Sensitive

D.Impolite

50.Why did Robby go back to the hot dog seller?

51.What is the theme of this passage?

A.The rich should help the poor

B.One good turn deserves another

C.Kindness is the greatest wisdom

D.A kindness shown, a kindness sown

Passage Five

Whatever you do, don’t challenge a chimpanzee named Ayumu to a number memory game. In 2007, Ayumu became famous for his lightning speed at a game that goes like this: A player views a computer screen where the numbers 1 through 9 appear briefly at once and then turn to white squares.The player then taps the squares where the numbers had been, in order from 1 to 9.People can do it.But no human competitor has ever completed the game faster or more accurately than Ayumu the chimp.For almost five years Ayumu remains undefeated.

Psychologist Nicholas Humphrey of Darwin College at Cambridge University in England now thinks he knows the secret behind the chimp’s ability.Humphrey suspects Ayumu’s brain may have a condition that allows the chimp to see numbers as colors.This would mean that Ayumu may see a color glow after the numbers disappears.Then, instead of remembering the numbers, he remembers a sequence of colors, each associated with a number.

The condition that Humphrey believes Ayumu may have is called synesthesia.Humans with synesthesia may associate numbers and letters with colors.For example, a person may see the number “5” as the color blue.Until now, scientists had assumed only humans could have synesthesia.

Humphrey found the inspiration for his idea at a 2011 scientific conference.There, he heard a presentation about Ayumu’s memory abilities and another talk about synesthesia.He then put the two ideas together.

Not everyone is convinced that Humphrey is correct.Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa of the Primate Research Institute at Kyoto University in Japan has spent decades studying the amazing memories of chimpanzees, including Ayumu.He maintains that chimps simply have faster memory recall than people.

52.What is Ayumu famous for?

A.His gift in playing computers.

B.His talent in calculating numbers.

C.His skill in tapping the numbered squares.

D.His amazing performance in memory game.

53.Which of the following is true of Nicholas Humphrey?

A.He thinks Ayumu has an amazing memory.

B.He believes that Ayumu sees the colors of numbers.

C.He was inspired by Primatologist Tetsuro Matsuzawa.

D.He delivered a speech on synesthesia at the 2011conference.

54.Where does Humphrey get the inspiration for his idea?

A.From an experiment

B.From a conference

C.From a research on chimpanzees

D.From the color blue

55.How does Tetsuro Matsuzawa explain Ayumu’s performance in the game?

A.Ayumu uses synesthesia.

B.Ayumu is cleverer than most chimps.

C.Chimps recall things faster than people.

D.Chimps are good at dealing with number.
