Listening Text Presenter : Welcome to Science Now. The subject of today's programme is the Three Gorges Dam on the Yangtze River in China. In the studio we have Dr Hassan, a professor of engineering from Cairo University who has visited the dam and will answer your questions. Welcome, Professor Hassan.

Professor : Thank you.

Presenter : Can I start by asking you two simple questions? First of all, what are dams and why must we build them?

Professor : Well, a dam is a very strong high wall which stops most of the water of a river moving. Some water then runs through channels in the wall of the dam and turns a wheel to make electricity. So dams are needed because industrial countries must have clean electricity for their modern factories. Dams also help to control floods.

Presenter : Thanks. And now Amira from Alexandria has a question.

Amira : Hello. I'd like to ask the professor to give us a few facts about the Three Gorges Dam for my school project.

Professor : Hello, Amira. Where shall I begin? There are so many interesting facts. First of all, the Three Gorges Dam is 185 metres high and 2,309 metres long. It cost twenty-five billion dollars to build and produces a huge amount of electricity.

Amira : How long did it take to build?

Professor : More than sixteen years. It was started in 1993 and finished in 2009.

Presenter : Thank you, Amira. We now have a question from a student of engineering. Nabil, what is your question for the professor?

Nabil : Hello. I'd like to know what would have happened if China hadn't built this enormous dam.

Professor : That's a very good question, Nabil. The truth is that not everyone wanted the dam to be built. These were the people who lived near the Yangtze River and who lost their homes when the dam was built. So these people would have been very happy if the dam hadn't been built.

On the other hand, if they hadn't built the dam, Chinese industries would have used more fuels like gas or oil, which are getting more and more expensive.

Nabil : Do you know how many people lost their homes?

200

Revision E

Professor : They say that more than a million people were moved and that more than a thousand towns and villages disappeared when the dam was finished.

Presenter : That's incredible. Finally, Professor, I have a question. Can ships still travel along the river?

Professor : Yes, they can. There is a system of locks and there's also a special lift which operates for the ships. It carries them over the dams.

Presenter : Thank you very much, Professor. Unfortunately, that's all we have time for today.

Reading Text Hong Kong – a wonder of the modern world Hong Kong is in the south China Sea near the coast of China. It consists of Hong Kong Island, Lantau Island, Kowloon, The New Territories and 263 other small islands. In the past, only fishermen and farmers lived in Hong Kong, but today it is a busy port and an important trade centre. Many of China’s exports pass through Hong Kong. It is also known as a shopping centre. Hong Kong has a population of 9 million people in a land area of 1,100 sq km. This means that people live very close to each other. There are 9000 people in every square kilometre. Despite this, Hong Kong is a good environment to live in: it has quiet parks, beaches and mountains to climb.

From 1842 to 1997, Hong Kong was British, but in 1997 it became part of China. The two most important languages are Chinese and English. It has its own television, radio and newspapers, and its own money, the Hong Kong dollar.

To many people, Hong Kong is one of the world’s greatest cities because it is such a successful financial and trade centre.

Extra Reading

The Importance of Law Enforcement ‫أهمية تطبيق القانون‬ In the England of Charles Dickens’s time, very poor people like Oliver Twist, who had no money and no home, had to live in terrible conditions. One of the results of this poverty was a lot of street crimes, particularly robberies, and the number of these crimes rose quickly during the first half of the nineteenth century.

The number of violent crimes also rose and this worried many people.

In situations like these, laws have to be enforced to protect society, and for successful law enforcement, society needs honest police officers and an efficient legal system which makes people feel safe. Trials and the punishment of criminals must also be completely fair.

202

Revision E

In the time of Oliver Twist, punishments were harsh and included long prison sentences. Some criminals lost their lives. Other prisoners were sent from England to Australia, often to spend the rest of their lives away from their families. Today in most countries, punishments are less harsh and there are different punishments for less serious crimes. For example, some criminals may have to pay a fine. Others cannot travel freely and have to stay in their hometown.

Laws are made to stop people from behaving badly towards each other. But however good a law is, it must be enforced by the police and a legal system in which the public is confident.

Questions & Answers on Extra Reading 1. What happened to crime in the first half of the twentieth century in England?

It rose quickly.

2. Where were some criminals sent to live?

To Australia.

3. Are punishments today harsher or less harsh than they were in the time of Charles Dickens?

They are less harsh.

4. Why do you think poverty results in more crimes?

People that have no money may have to steal to get food for themselves and their families.

5. How can trials be completely fair?

There needs to be a system which is based on people being fair. The judges should be ordinary people who have no political power.

Exercises 1. What sort of people were there in Hong Kong in the past?

2. What is Hong Kong like today?

3. Why is it surprising that Hong Kong has quiet parks?

4. What is Hong Kong best known for?

Kramerbrucke in Germany is the longest bridge in the world that has buildings on it. It was built over the Gera River in 1325. There were several bridges over the river before this date, but these were made of wood . It might have been dangerous to cross the river at this time, because there were often fires on the bridges.

The bridge which you can visit today was built of stone. There are 62 buildings on it. Most of them are used by people who make glass, plates and clothes. Some of them are shops where you can buy souvenirs. It is an amazing place, although when you walk across it, you do not realise you are on a bridge because you cannot see the river.

What inspires someone to make a new invention? Most inventors are inspired by need. Louis Braille, who was born in 1809, lost his sight when he was a child.

His teachers helped him a lot and he reached the top of his class. At the age of ten, he was given money to study at the Royal Institution for Blind Youth, where he started to use a simple raised-print system for reading .

The system was not very good and Louis Braille wanted something better. He invented a system based on raised dots which are put into patterns in a rectangle.

The different arrangements of the dots represent the letters of the alphabet or other 209

characters. There are symbols for punctuation marks and for math and music. A blind person reads by feeling the dots with their finger tips.
