VI- Reading Comprehension ( 110 Marks )
Read the following passage carefully, then answer the questions below:
You take it for granted that you are a unique person, different from everybody else on Earth, and
you understand that everybody else is also unique. Identical twins are fascinating because they
challenge this idea; they are unique people, of course, but they are also similar to each other -and not
only in terms of appearance. They often share opinions, habits and personality traits or characteristics.

Identical twins are rare, happening in about 3 out of every 1,000 births. They seem to happen
randomly, regardless of the age or cultural background of the mother, unlike non-identical twins who
are remarkably common in Central Africa. Although there may be tiny differences in physical
appearances between two identical twins, which allow family and close friends to tell them apart,
they do have exactly the same DNA.

For most scientists, it is the nonphysical similarities between identical twins that are the most
interesting. By studying identical twins who have been raised by different families, researchers
wanted to determine which certain personality traits are inherited and which are learned from the
environment. The Minnesota Twin Study is probably the best-known twin study to date. The study
provides information about how our environment and genes work together to influence everything
from attitudes and abilities, to job selection and health.

Identical twins Jim Lewis and Jim Springer were only four weeks old when they were taken in by
different adoptive families. From there, their lives diverged as they were raised apart by different
parents until they finally met again at the age of 39. The similarities the twins shared not only amazed
them, but also amazed researchers at the University of Minnesota. The very fact that both twins were
given the same name was a big coincidence. But there's more. As youngsters, each Jim had a dog
named 'Toy'. Both Jims had at one time held part-time jobs as officers. They drove the same type of
car and even took vacations at the same beach in Florida. Both were fingernail biters and suffered
from constant headaches.

It is obvious from the twins' story that genetics are a major factor in shaping who we are. In
fact, research so far indicates that there are some genetic influences on personality. This means that
our personality traits as adults are largely determined before we are born, and there is very little that
we can do to change them.

VII- Summary Making (60 Marks)
Read the following passage, then do as required:
Travel can expand our mind and promote inter-cultural understanding. However, it can also have
a negative environmental impact on Earth. 'Green travel' is a term that refers to responsible travel
practices that pay attention to the environment. To travel green, your efforts can start even before
leaving home. For example, turning off electronics saves on the electricity bill and cuts down on
energy usage. While on holiday, you can use public transport when available rather than hiring a car.
If you are staying in a hotel for multiple nights, reuse towels instead of having them washed and
changed every day. Finally, always buy food from local people to support the local economy. Making
these few simple switches to how you travel will make a big difference to the environment.

In a paragraph of FOUR sentences ONLY, summarise and paraphrase the previous passage in
an answer to the following question :
"How can we travel green?"
