Mr. Ibrahim has been driving a car for several years and he had always been a very careful driver.
He often drove into town and he had to pass traffic lights on the way. One day. the first traffic lights
were just changing from green to red when he passed them. Almost at once, a policeman ordered him to
stop. And asked him why he hadn't stopped at the red light. Mr. Ibrahim answered that he was afraid to
stop suddenly because if a car had been just behind him, it might have hit his. The policeman answered
angrily that there was no excuse and only foolish drivers who were driving close behind him would do
so. The policeman warned him to be more careful but he didn't fine him and let him pass.
Mr. Ibrahim thanked the policeman and drove very careful to the next traffic lights where he had to
stop suddenly when the light changed. At the same moment something hit the back of his car. When he

3 - Read the following passage, then answer the questions:
In order to make a good impression during a job interview, you need to prepare yourself for it.
You must arrive early for the interview, so that you give yourself a little time to relax before it begins.
You have to look your best for the interview. Try to find out if the company has any rules about dress,
then dress according to their regulations. If they don’t allow their staff to come to work in casual
clothes, you may ruin your chances for a job by wearing the wrong sort of clothes to the interview. You
also need to plan what you are going to say.
In some interviews you will have to do a lot of talking, and in others you will only have to answer
a few questions about yourself, your schoolwork, your strong points, your reasons for applying for the
job, and the salary you expect. You’ll be allowed to ask some questions of your own. The questions you
ask will show the interviewer that you have given careful thought to the position. You can ask questions
like these: What duties will I have to do in the job? Will I be allowed to join a health insurance
programme? Does the company provide opportunities for further education? You must also try to find
out as much as you can about the company by talking to someone who works there, or by asking for
copies of the company’s booklets, brochures or advertising.
