Task 1: Reading
(50 marks)
A. Read the text about ancient civilizations. Answer the questions that follow:
(30 marks)
Ancient Egypt
The Ancient Egyptians are most famous for the pyramids, but they can claim many other
developments in a wide range of areas. They were the first people to domesticate animals.
They trained dogs for use in hunting. They built the first sailboat and they became expert at
sailing. The Ancient Egyptians were skilled in mathematics and geometry. They are also
famous for their picture writing.
The people used the Nile for transportation. It seems that they only imported wood and
minerals because they had enough meat, wool and cereal. In fact, it was their ability to
produce and store cereal that made Ancient Egypt was such a wealthy and successful country.
The civilization lasted about 4000 years, up to 280 CE.
The Indus Valley Civilization
The Indus Valley Civilization is one of the earliest civilizations in the world. It is clear
that the Indus Valley people were interested in both science and the arts. The two largest
cities are Mohenjo Daro and Harappa. Each city was originally about 1.6 kilometres square.
The streets of all the cities were designed in a grid system like a modern American city. The
main building materials were brick and wood. The houses were different sizes, from one room
to large buildings with courtyards and wells. They nearly all had bathrooms.
The Roman Empire
The Roman Empire developed from a small village in the centre of Italy and was ruled at
first by a dynasty of kings from 753 BCE to 510 BCE. The Romans developed a system of
under-floor heating for villas in cold parts of the empire, and to heat water in huge private and
public baths.
The Romans also built a roads network of over 85000 km. It only took six days to travel
the 1500 km from Rome to London, which is an average speed of 10 miles an hour. The
Romans invented the catapult, which could throw huge stones over the walls of enemy
castles. They brought discipline to warfare, meaning that a small group of Roman soldiers
could often defeat a much larger army. Their success in warfare was one of the main reasons
for the expansion of the Roman Empire

Why are archives important?
Archives are important because they provide evidence of activities and tell us more about
individuals and institutions. They tell stories. They also increase our sense of identity and
understanding of cultures. They can even ensure justice and give access to records.
Archiving is important for information management and can give a business greater control
over their information processes. Data that is not archived is harder to locate, secure and this
will eventually have a negative effect on business functions and employee productivity.
1. Why is archiving important? Write three reasons:
a) Archives are important because they provide evidence of activities and also tell
more about individuals and institutions .
b) It is important to get to know the communitys identity and understand the
countrys cultures.
c) Archiving is an important task that guarantees the rights of individuals.

2. What can archiving give to business?
-In the case of a dispute or inquiries about business,holding ,financial transaction or
employee, the records relating to this topic can be obtained form the archive.
– Arhiving storage systems are also less expensive,so a strong motivation is to save
money for storing data.
3. What might happen for the data which is not archived?
The wise choice is to archive information that needs to ensure that your active business
or government data is protected from accidental or harmful loss,and that your
important records are kept as long as necessary for commercial and legl reasons. If you
are an individual or a small company that owns documents,photos ,videos and other
media, you will also need both backup and archive to ensure your data is protected in
the short and long term and is available and recoverable when you need it.
Task 2: Writing:
( 50 marks)
Archives are the materials created or received by a person, family or organization because of
the value contained in the information they contain. The archivist is the person who has the
