Part A has been done for you – the important information on winemaking has been underlined and listed.
A. Winemaking
In some parts of the world, grapes are grown for wine-making. The sun-ripened grapes are harvested by people who often wear large-brimmed hats as protection against the hot sun. The harvested grapes are taken to a factory where they are crushed to extract the juice. As wine improves with age, the bottles are stored sometimes for years, and allowed to mature.
Important details
Sun-ripened grapes, grown for winemaking, are harvested and then crushed to extract the juice. Wine improves with age, bottles are allowed to mature for varying lengths of time, even years.
B. Oranges
Oranges are grown in the Murray Valley in the area near where New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia meet. It is possible to grow oranges there because irrigation channels from the Murray provide water that the orange trees need. Oranges grow well in a hot, dry climate and this is found in various parts of the world. Because watering of the roots rather than the leaves is important, the irrigated orange groves near the Murray produce beautiful fruits.
C. Trumpets
Trumpets are metal instruments usually made of brass. In a trumpet and other instruments like it, there are valves. The valves are sometimes called stops. As he plays, a player presses down on the valves. The valves open and close off sections of the tube. This changes the length of the column of air and causes notes to be higher of lower.
D. Whales
There are more than a dozen different kinds of whales. Some whales are enormous but some are quite small. The blue whale is the biggest animal that ever lived and is even longer than a dinosaur. Porpoises and dolphins, which are members of the whale family, are only a few feet long. Whales are mammals and must surface to breathe. As do all mammals, female whales feed their young on milk. Some whales feed by straining tiny plants and animals through strainers in their mouths. Others have strong teeth which enable them to eat large sea creatures.
This Article is about the Middle East – Find information only about the ‘Oil Industry’ from this article.
E. The Middle East
Those countries stretching from the eastern end of the Mediterranean Sea to the Arabian Sea in the south are sometimes referred to as the “Middle East”. They include countries such as Egypt and Sudan, Turkey, Syria, Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia, and smaller countries like Lebanon, Israel, and Jordan near the Mediterranean Sea and Yemen, Aden and Kuwait on the Arabian Peninsula.
The Middle East is not an important industrial region. There are some fertile farming areas but in many parts, the land must be irrigated for successful farming to be carried on. The large cities in the Middle East such as Cairo and Alexandria in Egypt, Istanbul, Baghdad, and Tehran are mainly trading centres.
Oil is the really valued product of the region. From the chief oil-producing countries of Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Bahrain more oil is exported than from any other region of the world.
Pipe lines carry much of the oil overland to the Mediterranean where it is loaded onto the tankers for distribution to other countries. Much of the oil is also exported from parts on the shores of the Persian Gulf,
