Russian air links between Russia and Egypt will be cut for several months according to the Kremlin's chief of staff. He said flights would be stopped for a long time, at least several months, as a preventative measure until the reasons for the crash of the Russian plane in Egypt last month that killed 224 people are fully established. Security systems need improving in locations in Egypt where Russian planes fly like Sharm el-Sheikh, Hurghada, and Cairo. Remaining Russian tourists are leaving Sharm el-Sheikh with only carry-on luggage on special flights while checked bags are sent separately.

Questions for number 19 – 20
The Asmat are an ethnic group of New Guinea, residing in the Papua province of Indonesia. The land
of Asmat is located both within and adjacent to Lorentz National Park and World Heritage Site, the
largest protected area in the Asia-Pacific region. The total Asmat population is estimated to be around 70,000.
The term "Asmat" is used to refer both to the people and the region they inhabit.
The natural environment has been a major factor affecting the Asmat, as their culture and way of life
are heavily dependent on the rich natural resources found in their forests, rivers, and seas. The Asmat

5. 5
mainly subsist on starch from the sago palm (Metroxylon sagu), crustaceans, fish, forest game, and
other items gathered from their forests and waters.
Materials for canoes, dwellings, and woodcarvings are also all gathered locally, and thus their culture
and biodiversity are intertwined. Due to the daily flooding which occurs in many parts of their land,
Asmat dwellings have typically been built two or more meters above the ground, raised on wooden
posts. In some inland regions, the Asmat have lived in tree houses, sometimes as high as 25 meters from
the ground. The Asmat have traditionally placed great emphasis on the veneration of ancestors, particularly
those who were accomplished warriors.
Traditionally, many Asmat men practiced polygyny by marrying more than one woman. In many
cases, men were expected to marry a male relative's wife when that relative dies (otherwise the
woman and her children would be left without a source of protection or economic support). Many
Asmat men had long-term ritual sexual/friendship relationships (mbai) with other men, although the
prevalence of this practice has been disputed by others. In the mbai system, male partners were also
known to share their wives in a practice called papitsj. It is probable that missionary influence in the
last several decades has reduced the occurrence of both mbai and papitsj.
19. The text is mainly used to ....
a. Explain how Asmat people live
b. Describe where Asmat People live
c. Describe the way of life of Asmat people
d. Introduce Asmat people to readers
20. The statement which is not true based on the text is ....
a. The pactice of papitsj is increasing nowadays
b. Asmat people live in a dwelling house
c. Asmat gets their daily need from their surrounding
d. Asmat man usually has more than one wife
The missionary changes Asmat”s way of life gradually
Questions no 21 to 23 refer to the following text!
The word tornado comes from Spanish language and means to twist or turn. A
tornado is a whirlwind produced by atmospheric conditions, mainly extremely low
pressure, during a severe thunderstorm.
Tornadoes usually turn counterclockwise. They appear as funnel shaped columns of
violently rotating winds that reach down from a storm and touch the ground. Although
a tornado is not always visible to the eye, tornadic conditions can still be picked up on
radar, or the tornado may become visible once debris and dirt are pulled into it.
A tornado may also be referred to as a funnel cloud , but this is technically not a
correct term. While the two words are sometimes used interchangeably, a funnel cloud is
different, not in its make up, but in the fact that it does not touch the ground. Another
name that is often used to describe a tornado is twister, due to its violent twisting motion.
The tornado is one of the most unpredictable and destructive forces of nature, often
destroying everything in its path. A tornado is usually preceded by severe storms, which
may include lightning, high winds, and frequent hail. It can change course without notice,
and is usually accompanied by a roaring sound, or as some describe it, the sound of freight
train.

Kremlin
Moscow: Air links between Russia and
Egypt will be cut for at least several
months after last month's air crash in

not knowing the final version (of the
crash), but we did this as a preventative
measure, as a precaution," he said.
He said that security systems needed to be

from where the ill-fated plane took off, but
also in the beach resort of Hurghada and

fly."
Russia halted flights to Egypt on
November 6 until the reasons for the A321
charter plane's crash over Sinai on October
31 are fully established.

Answer the following question briefly!
Questions number 41 – 43 refer to the following text!
Cloud-to-ground lightning bolts are a common phenomenon—about 100 strike
Earth’s surface every single second—yet their power is extraordinary. Each bolt can contain
up to one billion volts of electricity. This enormous electrical discharge is caused by an
imbalance between positive and negative charges. During a storm, colliding particles of rain,
ice, or snow increase this imbalance and often negatively charge the lower reaches of storm
clouds.
When the lowermost step comes within 150 feet (46 meters) of a positively charged
object it is met by a climbing surge of positive electricity, called a streamer, which can rise up
through a building, a tree, or even a person. The process forms a channel through which
electricity is transferred as lightning.
Lightning is extremely hot—a flash can heat the air around it to temperatures five
times hotter than the sun’s surface. This heat causes surrounding air to rapidly expand and
vibrate, which creates the pealing thunder we hear a short time after seeing a lightning flash.
Lightning is not only spectacular, it’s dangerous. About 2,000 people are killed
worldwide by lightning each year. Hundreds more survive strikes but suffer from a variety of
lasting symptoms, including memory loss, dizziness, weakness, numbness, and other life-
altering ailments
