قراءة وفهم (2) 123

I Read the following passage then answer the questions: (8 marks)

Family Etiquette

· A point is made in The Parent’s Pocket Book that success in marriage (and, by implication, in family life generally) is governed largely by manners - by standards of life as set by standards of upbringing (how to behave). Quoting from that section which deals with suitability (what is right) for marriage-

· As broad examples: a girl who has been brought up in a home where meals are taken with moderate formality is likely to find the sight of a man dining in this shirt sleeves and braces quite intolerable; and a boy who has been brought up amongst quiet–spoken and courteous people will be constantly irritated by a girl who talks loudly and insistently , breaking into conversations with scant ceremony.

· It is not suggested that in day-to-day family life all the details of more formal social manners and customs should be observed. It would be uncomfortable if , for example , a husband were to jump up every time busy wife wanted to leave a room (unless her hands were full and she really needed help ) , and it would be unreasonable for a wife to expect such an attention in the ordinary way .

· But he should show her the attention on special occasions (e.g. when guests have been invited), and she for her part should act as though such an attention is expected.

· From the point of view of the outside world , the most charming families to know and to visit are those who not only treat guests with courtesy , but who treat one another courteously also , both when guests are present and in private .



Some Broad Family Rules:

It is possible, from an examination of some of the things which disturb harmony in the lives of other families, to offer a few broad general rules of family etiquette; but it should be remembered, when considering these, that they are rules, and that, according to individual family circumstances and needs, there must be modifications of or exceptions to them in some cases.



1. In the home there should always be respect for individual privacy. There are times when each member of any family feels the need to be alone and undisturbed – to think about and do those things which are personal to himself and which he does not wish to share with others. Not only should such times always be respected, but also the desire for individual privacy should not be resented.

2. Intrusion – both physical and mental – should be avoided so far as it is possible
Examples of intrusion are: opening the closed door of the personal room ( e.g. a bedroom , study) of anyone over the age of about 16 without first knocking and receiving permission to enter; borrowing the possessions of others without permission; reading or trying to insist upon reading letters addressed personally to someone else ; asking someone who is sitting quietly , “ what are you thinking about ? “

3. No difference of any kind should ever be aired before any member of family who is not an actual party to the difference.

4. A personal friend of any member of a family is not necessarily a personal friend of all, and there should be no expectation of a right to share such a friend without invitation, or to interfere with the friendship without very good reason.

Translation(2) 124

A-Translate the following passage into Arabic:

The Suez Canal is a major source of national income to Egypt. It has been closed several times because of war or political problems. The canal saves shipping companies a great deal of time and money because it is fastest crossing from the Atlantic Ocean.

The idea of a tunnel connecting Britain with other nations of Europe was first proposed to the French Emperor Napoleon in the early eighteen hundreds. However it was never a serious idea. The technology to make such a tunnel did not exist. Europeans dreamed of such a tunnel. Crossing the English Channel by ship was often a terrible trip because of storms.

Three serious attempts were made to build the tunnel. The first two failed. Political differences between France and Britain stopped the first attempt. Financial problems stopped the second. The third and successful attempt to build the Channel began in 1987 after France and Britain signed an agreement. It took seven years to finish the work. Today, the Chunnel is very busy. High-speed trains carry cars, trucks and passengers from Britain to France and back again.


B-Translate the following lines into English:

انتشرت ظاهرة الهجرة غير الشرعية للشباب المصرى إلى أوروبا بصورة ملحوظة ويرجع ذلك إلى اعتقادهم بأن العمل فى أوروبا سيحقق لهم الثراء السريع بالإضافة إلى عدم وجود فرص عمل فى مصر, ويتعرض الشباب فى هذه الرحلة لمخاطر كثيرة منها الموت غرقا وضياع أموالهم. ومطلوب توفير معلومات صحيحة عبر وسائل الإعلام عن الإجراءات التى يجب أن يتبعها راغبو الهجرة.

At first, Muhammad divulged his experience only to his wife and his immediate circle. But as more revelations enjoined him to proclaim the oneness of God universally, his following grew, at first among the poor and the slaves, but later also among the most prominent men of Mecca. The revelations he received at this time and those he did so later are all incorporated in the Quran, the Scripture of Islam.
