VI- Reading Comprehension (110 marks)
- Read the following passage and answer the questions below:
Some teachers started new schools in the United States because they want their children to learn from life. Children in the United States like to ask questions at home, at school and every place they go to. This is because they want to know why and how things happen
Children in the US often ask why they have to do things the way they are taught. Grownups ask them questions all the time, so discussion is important. American teachers feel their children are learning when they talk and write about things they study.
In many American Indian cultures, learning is a quieter thing. At home, children often learn that it is bad manners to ask questions to grown-ups, or to look at them in the face, instead of looking down. Therefore, at schools, many Indians do not ask questions or give answers on their own.
There is an Indian story about an animal who asks an oil tree too many questions. The tree cannot see as well as the animal but he keeps asking about the things around him. Then he tries to cross a river. Every time he moves, he asks the tree how deep the river is. At last, he falls under the water. The animal asks no more questions, and the tree can rest again. With all his questions, the animal never
learned what he needed to know.
The Indian parents also have a different style of teaching. Indian parents who want their children to be good weavers give them lots of time to weave so they can learn to do it well. If the girl can't do the weaving in a good way, her parents punish her because they think that weaving is a way of life for them. Parents send their daughters to some local schools to learn weaving. When they weave successfully, they are rewarded by the parents.
For all these differences, however, parents still want many of the same things for their children. They want them to know how to be part of their family and their culture. They want them to know how to work. Children, in school or out, have the same rights all over the world, to learn, grow up, and pass their culture on.

VII - SUMMARY MAKING (60 Marks)
- Read the following passage, then do as required:
Over a hundred years, people are still terrified of flying. That is because of the airplane accidents.
Some studies show that there are some reasons such as pilot errors. As a seven-year study w
s conducted and found that over half of all airplane accidents are due to human errors. Another reason is poor airplane maintenance. It's an unfortunate truth that maintenance problems have contributed to 42% of fatal airline accidents in the United States. Maintenance related issues occur when there is a systematic breakdown.
Furthermore, about 10% of airplane crashes are caused by acts of damage including situations where hijackers take control of the plane or where the pilots themselves decide to intentionally crash. We shouldn't also forget that bad weather conditions including thunderstorms, lack of visibility, and strong wind may lead to catastrophic consequences.
In a paragraph of FOUR sentences ONLY summarise and paraphrase the passage above in answer to the following question:
- What are the main causes of aircraft accidents?
