B -Unseen passage (15 marks )
Read and answer the questions:
The Pyramids, with their
greatness, elegance and stability. tell us of great organizing ability. The ancient Egyptians did not wait
for anyone else to set them an example, they just used their imagination and then
got on with the
job, making their dream come true. They were pioneers,
inventors, leading the
entire world.
The Pyramids of Egypt were built at Giza, near Cairo
between 2650 and 2500 B. C. They were the eldest of the seven wonders
and the only ones still standing,They were built on the west bank of the Nile River where
the sun sets every day .
The question is that how could the ancient Egyptians build these three great Pyramids ? the stories that written on the walls of the Temples and the tombs tell us that they were built as tombs by using simple tools, they hauled millions of blocks of stones putting them one on top of another up to 40 storeys high.The largest Pyramid contains nearly 2.5 millions of blocks of stones each weighing an average of 2.5 tons .
We are not suggesting
that we should be building Pyramids now. but we should have the same spirit of enthusiasm and originality. We
should not always
wait for others to make the first move.
