Wonders of EgyptA. Many people today think of the pyramids of Giza as the defining icon of ancient Egyptian culture. But who actually built them? For years, we did not know for sure. Now, however, archeologists have discovered an ancient city near the pyramids. Close by, there is a cemetery where the pyramid builders were buried. From studying these places, archeologists can now confirm that the pyramids were not built by slaves or foreigners (or space aliens!). Ordinary Egyptians built them. B. It took about 80 years to build the pyramids. Archeologists believe that about 20,000-30,000 people were involved in the construction. The workers had different roles. Some dug up the rock, some moved it, and some shaped it into blocks. People also worked on different teams, each with its own name. Workers often competed to see whose team could do a job faster. C. Life for these workers was hard. "We can see that in their skeletons," says Azza Mohamed Sarry El-Din, a scientist studying bones found in the cemetery. According to her research, the bones show signs of arthritis. This probably developed from carrying heavy things for a long time. Archeologists have also found many female skeletons in the ancient city and cemetery. The damage to their bones is similar to that of the men. In fact, their lives may have been even tougher: Male workers generally lived to age 40-45, but women to only 30-35. However, workers usually had enough food, and they also received medical care. D. The task was challenging, but laborers were proud of their work. On a wall in Khufu's Great Pyramid, for example, a group of workers wrote Friends of Khufu. "It's because they were not just building the tomb of their king," says Egyptian archeologist Zahi Hawass. "They were building Egypt. It was a national project, and everyone was a participant."

HomeworkHigh school students have far too much homework: five or six hours every night. One school in my town has adopted a policy of limiting homework to three hours a week for each class. I think this is an excellent idea that will allow students to live better, healthier lives. Reducing homework will give students more time to enjoy other pastimes. I have a large stack of books which I received as gifts several months ago. Because of school assignments, I still have not read a single one of them. With less homework, students will be freer to explore interests like literature, art, music, and hobbies. More time free from homework will enhance our physical health as well. Many students are unable to ride their bikes or play sports. They must spend so much time solving math problems and doing grammar exercises. Furthermore, staying up late to finish their assignments leaves many students exhausted in the morning. Lack of sleep is not only unpleasant; it also makes students more likely to get colds and other illnesses.
Question 18. Which of the following could be another title for the passage?A. Benefits of HomeworkB. Benefits of Having Less HomeworkC. Why Students Dislike HomeworkD. Why Homework Should be Banned
Question 19. What policy has been adopted by a school in the writer's town?A. Students have no homework.B. Each teacher may give only three hours of homework per night.C. Each teacher must give at least five hours of homework per week.D. No teacher may give more than three hours of homework per week.
Question 20. According to the passage, what is an effect of having a lot of homework?A. Students do not have enough time for hobbies.B. Students' physical health is improved.C. Students fall asleep in school.D. Students lose interest in sports.
