‘Common National ‏اماما ماما لمر‎ English Paper May 264, 2006 (2 Hours = 15:00 - 17:00)
SECTION TWO:
READING COMREHENSION
1 The greatest challenge of the 21st century is to provide every human being on the planet with a long,
2 healthy, and fufilling life, free of poverty and full of opportunities to participate in the life of their community.
3 The Millennium World Summits have offered the world leaders repetitive occasions to reflect on their common
4 destiny, as they find themselves more interconnected than ever before. Together, they can identify and act on
5 the challenges ahead, if they share a renewed sense of mission. Their co-operation can make a real and
6 measurable difference to 0600165 lives in the new century.
7 An open and co-operative system for an international world has become a prerequisite. This system starts
8 to work, and makes it possible for globalization to extend. Its benefits are obvious: faster growth, higher living
9 standards, and new opportunities. Yet repercussions have begun, because these benefits are so unequally
10 distributed, and because the global market is not yet strengthened by rules based on shared social
11 objectives.As a result, we now live in a global world. Responding to this shift is a central challenge for 0
12 leaders today.
13 In this new world, groups and individuals more and more often interact directly across frontiers, without
14 _involving the State. This has its dangers. Crime, narcotics, terrorism, pollution, disease, weapons, refugees
15 and migrants: all move back and forth faster and in greater numbers than in the past. People feel threatened
16 by events far away. They are also more aware of injustice and brutality in distant countries, and expect States
17 10 do something about them. But new technologies also create opportunities for mutual understanding and
18 common action. If we are to get the best out of globalization and avoid the worst, we must learn to govern
19 better, and how to govern better together.
20 That does not mean world government or the eclipse of nation states. On the contrary, States need to be
21 strengthened. And they can draw strength from each other, by acting together within common institutions
22 based on shared rules and values. These institutions must reflect the realities of the time, including the
23 distribution of power. And they must serve as an arena for states to co-operate with non-state actors, including
24 global companies. In many cases they need to be complemented by less formal policy networks, which can
25 respond more quickly to the changing global agenda.
26 The past half-century has seen unprecedented economic gains. But 1.2 billion people have to live on less
27 than 51 a day. The combination of extreme poverty with extreme inequality between countries, and often also
28 within them, is an affront to our common humanity. It also makes many other problems worse, including
29 conflict. And the world's population is still rising rapidly, with the increase concentrated in the poorest
30 countries. World leaders must act to reduce extreme poverty by half, in every part of the world, before
31 2015. They have to achieve sustained growth, generate opportunities for the young, promote health and
32 combat HIV/AIDS, upgrade the slums, give higher priority to reduce poverty, build digital bridges, and
33 demonstrate global solidarity. Rich countries must further open their markets to poor countries’ products, must
34 provide deeper and faster debt relief, and must give more and better focused development assistance.
35 Ridding the world of the scourge of extreme poverty is a challenge to every one of us. We must not fail to
36 meetit.
37 We now face an urgent need to secure the freedom of future generations to sustain their lives on this
38 planet — and we are failing to do it. Now, we must revive the debate and prepare to act decisively to cope with
39 climate change and implement the 1997 Kyoto Protocol, confront the water crisis, defend the soil, preserve
40 forests, fisheries, and biodiversity, build a new ethic of leadership by educating the public, and integrate the
41 environment into economic policies.
42 Peoples, as well as Governments, must commit themselves to a new ethic of conservation and leadership.
43 To achieve these goals, they have to share six values, which are of particular relevance to the new century:
44 Freedom; Equity and Solidarity; Tolerance; Non-Violence; Respect for Nature; and Shared Responsibility.
45 Success and development rely on their determination to act on those values.
