             A combination of sewage, salt, air pollution, sun, sand and wind may destroy the huge statue on the outskirts of Cairo. This statue of the sun god has the body of a lion and the face of a human being. It is five thousand years old, but it is too badly damaged to be completely saved.

             The statue has already been dug out of the sad three times. However, the latest problems are much more serious. First, there are no proper drains and water pipes in the neighborhood and the underground passages round the statue have become blocked. Too much water has been running into the stone statue for several years. As a result, tiny pieces of salt have been left on the stone and have damaged it.

Secondly, air pollution from the increasing amount of traffic in Cairo is also destroying the ancient statue. The air is so full of poisonous gases that it is making the stone crumble and decay even faster.

             Thirdly, the statue is being damaged by extremes of temperature.  For example, although the air is very cold at night, during the day the stone of the statue becomes very hot under the strong sun. Other natural forces such as serve sandstorms also attack the statue.

             Finally, the tourists who visit the statue everyday also cause a lot of damage.

X. Read the passage carefully and then decide whether the following statements are true or false. Learning a language is, in some ways, like learning how to fly or play the piano. There some differences,but there is a very important similarity. It is this: learning how to do such things needs lots of practice.It is never enough simply to “know” something. You must be able to “do” things with what to know. For example, it is not enough simply to read a book on how to fly an aeroplane. A book can give you lots of information about how to fly, but if you only read a book and then try to fly without a great deal of practice first, you will crash and kill yourself. The same is true of learning the piano or learning a foreign language. Can you speak English well without having lots of practice? “Practice makes perfect” is what every learner of a foreign language should know. 1. Learning a foreign language and learning to fly are the same in an important way. 2. Information about flying from books is enough for someone to fly a plane. 3. You can learn English well only by reading books in English. 4. Talking to a native speaker can be a good way to speak a foreign language well. 5. Practicing a foreign language regularly makes you very good at it
