Reading & Critical Thinking
Ernest Hemingway
Hemingway was a very talented American writer. He had quite an ordinary childhood. He was born in Chicago in 1899, and was the second of six children. His father was a doctor and his mother was a music teacher. He really loved the outdoor life and spent a lot of time walking, camping and fishing. He started to write at the age of 16. He started writing poems and short stories for his school magazine. He usually wrote about his own life. He left school at 18 and went to Italy to join the Red Cross. It was during the First World War. He drove an ambulance. He was badly wounded there. He was the first American to be wounded in the war. After the war he returned to America and married Hadley Richardson.
In 1922 he and his wife went back to Europe (Paris) where he worked as a journalist, reporting news stories of all kinds. He met many famous writers in Paris and soon afterwards decided to give up journalism and write fiction. He wrote his first big novel "A farewell to Arms" in 1929. It was a story of love in wartime Italy. Then he wrote a novel called "For Whom the Bell Tolls?" in 1940. It was about the war in Spain. After that he didn't write fiction for a few years because he became a journalist again and reported on the Second World War. His next well-known book was "The old Man and the Sea", which was shorter than his other novels and that was his most successful book. In 1953, he won the Nobel Prize for Literature. For the rest of his life, he suffered from illness and died in 1961.

The Old Man and the Sea
It is a story about an old fisherman, Santiago, and his young apprentice, Manolin, who had not caught a fish for nearly 3 months. Manolin had been told by his parents to work with a more successful fisherman. But Manolin liked the old man and visited him every evening to talk to him. After 84 days with no fish, Santiago was sure he would catch something if he sailed a long way out to sea. So on the 85th day, the old man set off alone. By 12 o'clock on the first day, a big fish – marlin – had taken Santiago's bait. But because the old man was not strong enough to pull it to the boat, the marlin pulled the boat along. This continued for two days and nights. The old man was in great pain because he had the fishing line around his body. On the third day, the marlin was so tired that the old man managed to pull it to the side of the boat and kill it. He started to sail home, pulling the fish in the water behind the boat. He thought about how much money people would pay for his huge fish, but then sharks attacked the boat and tried to eat the marlin. The old man killed seven sharks, but during the night more sharks came and ate the marlin. Only its skeleton remained. When he got back home, it was very early morning.
The old man was completely exhausted and went to bed. The other fishermen found Santiago's boat with the fish skeleton. Mandolin was worried about Santiago but was glad to find him sleeping at home. He brought him coffee and newspapers, and the two men promised they would go fishing together again one day.

6- Read the following passage and answer the questions:
The celebration of Mother's Day can be traced to the times of ancient Greece when tribute was paid to "Rhea" the Mother of the Gods. The next recorded tribute to Mother's was during the seventeenth century when England celebrated " Mothering Sunday” on the fourth Sunday of Lent.
In America, Julia Ward Howe, the author of " The Battle Hymn of the Republic", suggested the idea of Mother's Day in 1872. However, it is Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia who is credited with creating Mother's Day in 1905. She wanted to pay tribute to her Mother who had tried to establish Mother's Friendship Day to help heal the scars of the Civil War in America. In 1910, West Virginia became the first state to adopt a formal holiday to recognize Mothers. A year later, nearly every state officially marked the day of celebration. In 1914, President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed Mother's Day as a national holiday to be held on the second Sunday of May.
Today Mother's Day is celebrated in many countries throughout the world. Although they do not fall at the same time in every country, Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May in Denmark, Finland, Italy, Turkey, Australia, and Belgium. Their families honor mothers by dining out, giving flowers, sending cards, giving gifts, and visits. Additionally, it is reported to be one of the busiest days of the year for telephone calls.
The celebration of Mother's Day should be every day. They are the ones who nurture us, teach us, protect us, and make us feel that we matter. Mothers are people in our lives who are most responsible for the way we grow and mature.
