【正文】 though the government does not have enough money. Many families can afford to send their children to private schools. Toward the end of high school, children planning to go to college should take an exam required. The results of that exam determine which college each student will attend and also which fields of study are open to that student. Top students can attend the American University in Cairo, which teaches its course in English. Other universities in the Cairo area include Cairo University, with over 30,000 students, Ain Shams University and Al–Azhar University. Many Children do not plete school or go on to college but learn a trade or apprenticeship in business instead. Education es from the family—this is where children learn about social values. The family is very important in Egyptian society. Though modern families are adopting the idea of the ―nuclear family‖ mon in the West, the traditional Egyptian family unit consists of parents, grandparents, children, aunts, uncles, cousins, inlaws and all sorts of people. Even though the modern family unit tends to be smaller, families usually live close together and visit each other often. Unlike in the West, children usually live with their parents until they get married, even through college. It is very rare that children move out and establish their independence before they get married. Usually, this only happens if the child goes abroad to save money before getting married. Many young Egyptian men work for a few years in the rich countries of the Persian Gulf, where wages are much higher than they are in Egypt, and this allows them to have a better start when they return to Egypt and get married. 24.

Dealing with stress and illness can have a negative impact on more than just your physical self, burning to a deep emotional space. Entire families and circles of friends feel worried about someone when they are dealing with a tough situation. But what if positive thinking could have the power to turn things around? Going way back, when I was working with my husband to start our business, times were tough. Not only had we poured every part of our savings into building our dream, but we were working around the clock to make it happen. Our friends and family were our business partners. We were all tired and stressed but determined. Especially during that time, we did not surround ourselves with anyone who wasn’t positive and encouraging in our efforts. Think great thoughts and wele the idea that you are sure to succeed. In business and in our personal lives, we are challenged at some point with unexpected hurdles. Wrapping yourself in positive energy by surrounding yourself with good people, good habits and love can be the perfect way to use optimism to overe a challenge. Just recently, I was curious if a positive attitude has been proved to help patients who are suffering from illness or disease to overe and heal. What I found delighted me. According to the Mayo Clinic, ―Positive thinking helps with stress management and can even improve your health. ―By accepting an optimistic approach, you are able to deal with tough situations productively.‖ I have certainly heard many stories about people who have used a great attitude to overe life–changing obstacles, and I am a total believer. I have seen the power of positive energy work for me—when I believe, I can handle anything that life sends my way. 28. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A.
