VI- Reading Comprehension and Summary Making (150 Marks)A-Reading comprehension

Read the following passage, then answer the questions below:

Many things we use every day to go from place to place move on wheels. For example, the bus, the

motorbike ,the car and many other vehicles move on wheels. One of the things that move on wheels is the

bicycle. Bicycles are important for both young people and grown-ups. People use them for fun, exercise and

work all over the world. The history of the bike is interesting. In 1818, the bicycle had no pedals. They were added in 1839.The

pedals made bicycles move faster than the old ones. More speed was possible by making the front wheel much

larger than the back wheel. But such bicycles were dangerous to ride. By 1900, most of the bicycle parts that we

know today had been developed. They included equal-sized wheels, brakes to stop the bike and a chain

connecting the pedals to the back wheel to transfer the movement.

27

Using the bike to go to school is a clean way of moving around. Unlike other means of transport, the bike

doesn’t use petrol. This means that the bike keeps the air clean. It also doesn’t take a lot of space to park. This is

why in some big cities of the world, people can only ride bicycles.
