great importance lately. It is felt that it could help increase the
national income. In some European countries, tourism has brought in
millions of dollars yearly, although they lack the natural and
historical attractions we have in Egypt. We could, for instance,
establish tourist villages for children on the Red Sea. We could teach
fishing, swimming, diving and sailing there. Another good idea would be a
village in the New Valley for horse riding. And what about villages for
people with health problems like rheumatism? The warm dry climate of
Aswan and Helwan would certainly help them get better.

Our tourist today wants efficient and friendly service. He would
probably prefer to try our samples of our local food rather than to eat
the international meals, which are served, in some places. It must also
be remembered that most tourists nowadays are seldom rich. Many of them
are students or hardworking employees. So what is needed is not
expensive hotels but clean comfortable places to sleep and eat in at
reasonable prices. This, too, would encourage Egyptians to travel more
and more around their lovely country.

6-Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
Objects sometimes fall from space and hit the Earth. Although
most asteroids burn up as soon as they reach the Earth’s atmosphere,
some cause big craters حفر or holes in the Earth’s surface. Scientists
think that millions of years ago dinosaurs died out when a gigantic ضخم
asteroid hit the Earth, causing an enormous dust cloud. The dust غبار
cloud prevented sunlight from reaching Earth so all the plants died.
Animals which lived on plants soon died too because they had nothing to
eat. Then big meat-eating animals like dinosaurs started to suffer
because the animals they usually ate had disappeared. Dinosaurs were
huge creatures and required a lot of food. Soon there weren’t enough
animals for them to eat and they became extinct. منقرض
Asteroids are not the only things that fall from the sky. There have
been reports throughout history of showers of dish, frogs and even
sheep. The Greek writer Aeschylus was killed when a tortoise fell from
the sky and hit him on the head. Eagles like to eat tortoises, but they
find it difficult to break their tough shells. They sometimes pick them
up, fly high into the sky and drop them on rocks so that the shells
break and they can get at the tortoise inside. Aeschylus was bald and a
passing eagle mistook his head for a rock.
