GRADE 11 – UNIT ONE – READING COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage then answer the questions below:
Your genes are responsible for your appearance and your health. Half your genes are from your
mother, the other half from your father .You are not identical to your mother or your father, but
you probably look a bit like both of them. Or you may resemble one of your grandparents. But
even if you are like other members of your family, you are unique. Your genes are different from
everyone else’s genes. The only people who have exactly the same genes are identical twins. They
should look exactly the same.
Some of the features you inherit from your parents are hair, eye colour ,skin colour and facial
features like the size and shape of your nose .You probably have the same hair colour as one of
your parents, but this is not always true. Two dark-haired parents can have a blond or red-headed
child. This happens when there was ablond or red-headed ancestor .Fifty percent of men with
bald fathers will lose their hair. But the gene for bald ness can come from them other’s family too
-only boys should look at their mother’s father. They may take after him.
The strongest, or dominant ,gene in eye colour is brown. If both parents have brown eyes,
their children probably have brown eyes too. It’s also common for two brown-eyed parents to
have a blue-eyed child, but unusual fort wo blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed child. As well
as eye colour, you can inherit poor eyesight from your parents. So if you’re short-sighted, you’re
probably not the only person in your family who wears glasses.
There are many different skin colours :from black, dark brown ,brown ,light brown to white.
Most families share the same skin colour, but black parents can give birth to a lighter-skinned
child if they have pale-skinned ancestors. Usually, a black and a white parent have dark-skinned
children because black is a dominant gene. But twin sisters Hayleigh and Lauren are exceptions.
One twin is black and the other is white. Hayleigh looks exactly like her black father and Lauren is
the image of her white mother .This was only possible because their father had a white relative
in his past.
Finally, if you are left-handed or if you have dimples in your cheeks or chin, you can thank
your genes.
a) From a, b, c and d choose the correct answer:
1. What is the best title for the passage?
a) Human Beings
b) Features of Twins
c) A Family Tradition
d) It’s All in the Genes
2. The underlined word “their” in the 2
nd paragraph refers to:
a) boys
b) men
c) bald fathers
d) mother’s family
3. The underlined word “dominant” in the 3
rd paragraph means:
a) usual
b) appropriate
c) weak
d) main
4. From the 1st paragraph we learn that genes:
a) are identical in every body.
b) specify who your parents are.
c) determine what you look like.
d) come mainly from your grandparents' side.
5. According to the 2nd paragraph ,ONE of the following statements is TRUE about men:
a) They nearly always have sons who go bald.
b) They sometimes inherit baldness from their mother’s side.
c) They always lose their hair because of their father’s genes.
d) They never pass on baldness through their daughter's genes.
B) With reference to the passage, answer the following questions:
6. Which people have exactly the same genes?
The only people who have exactly the same genes are identical twins.
7. What features do you inherit from your parents?
Some of the features you inherit from your parents are hair ,eye colour, skin colour
and facial features like the size and shape of your nose.
8. How can you explain that two brown-eyed parents have a blue-eyed child?
It’s also common for two brown-eyed parents to have a blue-eyed child, but unusual for
two blue-eyed parents to have a brown-eyed child.
9. According to the 4th paragraph, explain why black and white parents give birth to
dark- skinned children.
A black and a white parent have dark-skinned children because black is a dominant gene.
GRADE 11 – UNIT ONE – SUMMARY MAKING
- Read the following passage, then do as required:
It is hard to know where to start when beginning strength training. There are countless
exercises you can do. Some of which work with certain bodies, while others don't. With some
familiarity of the basics, you can begin to craft a routine helping you achieve your personal goals.
Strength training should be apart of your work out routine due to its numerous benefits. One
purpose of strength training is to build muscles and improve bone density. For an other thing,
strength training increases the strength of ligaments and joint functioning. It can help raise good
cholesterol levels and lower blood sugar levels. Most people like strength training because of its
most obvious benefit which is having a slimmer appearance.
In a paragraph of FOUR sentences ONLY, summarise and paraphrase the passage above in
answer to the following question:
- What are the benefits of strength training?
Firstly, strength training helps to make the muscles strong and have better bone
density. Secondly, strength training makes the ligaments stronger and allows the
joints to function properly. Thirdly, it helps to increase good cholesterol levels and
reduce blood sugar levels. Finally, strength training helps us to look slimmer.

GRADE 11 – UNIT TWO– READING COMPREHENSION
Dyslexia is a learning disorder that involves difficulty reading due to problems identifying
speech sounds and learning how they relate to letters and words (decoding). Also called reading
disability, dyslexia affects areas of the brain that process language. People with dyslexia have
normal intelligence and they usually have normal vision. Most children with dyslexia can succeed
in school with tutoring or a specialized education programme. Emotional support also plays an
important role for them.
The symptoms of dyslexia can be difficult to recognise be fore your child enters school, but some
early clues may indicate a problem. Once your child reaches school age, your child's teacher may
be the first to notice a problem. The condition often becomes apparent as a child starts learning
to read. Once your child is in school, dyslexia signs and symptoms may become more apparent,
including: Reading well below the expected level forage, having problems concerning processing
and understanding what he or she hear sand having a difficulty to find the right word or forming
answers to questions .One thing that can be observed in a dyslexic's writing is that some of the
letters will be written backwards.
Dyslexiatends to run in families .It appears to be linked to certain genes that affect how the
brain processes reading and language, as well as risk factors in the environment. Scientists have
listed some dyslexia risk factors. A family history of dyslexia or other learning disabilities gives an
early clue. Early birth or low birth weight of a baby can also lead to dyslexia. Exposure during
pregnancy to nicotine, drugs, or infection that may alter brain development in the fetus will surely
cause dyslexia .Finally, Individual differences in the parts of the brain that enable reading can
negatively affect on the reading ability of the child.
Dyslexia is not a medical problem .There is no medication that can heal dyslexia .Dyslexia is a
disorder present at birth and it can be managed with special instruction and support. Early
interference to address reading problems is important. Parents must understand that children
with dyslexia can learn normally, but probably need to learn in different ways than children
without the condition. Teaching should be individualized and may involve modeling letters and
words in clay or other three-dimensional techniques to help the child learn letter sand words. It
should be carefully chosen to meet the child needs.

GRADE 11 – UNIT FOUR – SUMMARY MAKING
Read the following paragraph, then do as required:
It is understand able that many people believe imprisoning animals for any reason is
simply wrong. Critics of zoos would argue first that animals often suffer physically and
mentally by being kept in zoo. Even the best artificial environments can't come close to
matching the space, diversity, and freedom that animals have in their natural habitats.
Second, this deprivation causes many zoo animals to become stressed or mentally ill. Later,
capturing animals in the wild also causes much suffering by splitting up families. Finally, some
zoos make animals behave unnaturally: for example, marine parks often force dolphins and
whales to perform tricks. These mammals may die decades earlier than their wild relatives.
In FOUR sentences, summarise and paraphrase the previous paragraph in answer to the following question:
Why do some people believe that animals should be free not kept in zoos?
Firstly, animals often suffer from physical and mental problems by being kept in zoo.
Secondly, animals are free in their natural habitats than in the zoo. Thirdly, when
animals are hunted, they are separated from their families. In the end, some zoos
make animals behave in an unnatural way.
