Read the following passage then answer the questions:

Jericho is a small city which stands in a deep valley between Jerusalem and Amman, near the Dead Sea. This is a famous salt lake that is 400 metres below sea level and is the lowest place on Earth. Jericho is most popular with tourists in the warm winter months. There are hotels for these visitors, and a lot of the people who live there work in tourism. Farming is also very important in this area. With large quantities of water and a warm climate, this part of Palestine is an excellent place to grow bananas and various other fruit and vegetable crops –including, of course, dates from all the palms. With its water and warm climate, human beings first started visiting the area 12,000 years ago. There were many people who chose to remain, and they became some of the world’s first farmers. These were also the people that 500 years later constructed the first city in the world. Later, it had a high tower and stone walls which were almost four metres high. Tourists love seeing those walls today. They are a window on our most ancient past.

Deema, from PalestineI like my police uniform, and I wear it proudly. I’m proud that we help protect our country and our people. We all are, and we always try hard to be smart and tidy, too. We feel that people trust us more because we dress as smartly and tidily as we can.

Bill, from CanadaDuring our terrible, long, dark winters, we have to wear warm sweaters and thick jackets and trousers when we go outdoors. But the summer is completely different. For three short months, it’s beautiful and warm. We can dress much more comfortably in thin T-shirts and jeans or shorts.

Maria, from MexicoToday, I’m dressing as nicely as I can in my beautiful, long, green dress and my new jacket. We’re having a big family party, you see, and we all want to look our best. If we don’t try our hardest and do our best, it’s like saying the family isn’t important.

Abdullah, from KuwaitIn my work, people used to be much more careless than today, and accidents often happened. Today, we do things more carefully than we did then. We protect

ourselves as well as we can with hard hats, safety boots and thick gloves. They’re uncomfortable, but they’re better than a horrible accident.
