James Cook didn’t come from a rich family. He was born on Oct 27, 1728, in Yorkshire, England. He was a son
of a farm worker. As a young man he worked on the merchant ships that sailed up and down the North Sea coast.
In 1752, he joined the British Royal Navy. At that time people believed that there was an unknown southern
continent. They used to call it Terra Australis. In 1768 Cook left England on an expedition to find the continent. He
sailed around Cape Horn at the tip of South America into the Pacific Ocean and landed on the island of Tahiti. From
here he travelled southwest and found New Zealand. However, Cook’s was not the first European ship to reach
these islands. In the 17 century, the Dutch explorer Tasman has reached both Australia and New Zealand. Tasman
had believed that they were part of Terra Australis. Cook, however, proved that New Zealand was only two large
islands. After three years Cook returned to England. He hadn’t found the southern continent.
34- Cook was born into a wealthy family. _______

Air pollution is a cause of ill-health in human beings. In a lot of countries there are laws limiting the amount of
smoke which factories can produce. Although there isn’t enough information on the effects of smoke in the
atmosphere, doctors have proved that air pollution causes lung diseases.
The gases from the exhausts of cars have also increased air pollution in most cities. The lead in petrol
produces a poisonous gas which often collects in busy streets surrounded by high buildings. Children who live in
areas where there is a lot of lead in the atmosphere cannot think as quickly as other children and are clumsy when
they use their hands. There are other long-term effects of pollution. If the gases in the atmosphere continue to
increase, the earth’s climate may become warmer. A lot of the ice near the poles may melt and may cause serious
floods.

I sat in on an English lesson at the Gamal Abdel Nasser Secondary School. The Scottish instructor_ one of
three Britons employed in the Yemeni school system_ was drilling the class in the difference between the 'present
simple’ and the ‘present continuous’. There were twenty very thin, very eager boys aged between about fourteen
and twenty-two. They were part of that tiny educated leaven in a country which has an illiteracy rate of ninety per
cent, and they had tense, ambitious faces. They had been trained to compete continually against each other, so
that the lesson turned into a kind of noisy greyhound race. The moment that the instructor was halfway through a
question, his voice was drowned by shouts of ‘ Teacher! Teacher! Teacher!’ and I lost sight of him behind the
thicket of urgently raised hands. If a student began to stumble over an answer, the others fought to grab the
question for themselves, bellowing for Teacher’s attention. I once taught for a term at a comprehensive school in
England: had the children in my class ever shown a small fraction of enthusiasm displayed by these Yemeni
students, I might have stayed in the job a great deal longer. They were ravenous for the good marks and certificates
which would take them out of their villages and tenements, and they behaved as if every minute spent in the
classroom could make or break them.
