In the long course of Egyptian history, few figures have been as powerful as Akhenaten. The period surrounding this Egyptian king’s reign was characterized by social, political and religious violent changes.  Akhenaten came to power as the pharaoh of Egypt about 3,340 years ago and ruled for nearly eighteen years. When Akhenaten became pharaoh, he still had his birth name of Amenhotep. His formal title was Pharaoh Amenhotep IV.  However, around the fifth year of his reign as pharaoh, he changed his name to Akhenaten. This new name represented his belief in a new religion that worshiped the sun god Aten.

He was an unusual leader. He created a lot of anger and distrust among the priests, leaders, and common people of his land. He was not like the other rulers before him. He did not spend his time  trying to please all of the many gods of his country’s religion. He was devoted only to a less important god known as Aten, the sun god. The symbol of this god was a sun on a round disk without a face.  Akhenaten and his wife were determined to change the religion to worship this one god instead of the many gods.  They were very determined to change the minds of their people. The pharaoh was the top religious leader in the land.

The priests of his time felt that he was putting the nation in danger by making all of the other gods angry. However,  the determined king built a new capital city dedicated to Aten.

How Akhenaten died is a mystery. Some historians think he may have been killed by enemies who disliked his new city and new religion. Others think he may have died of illness or some other natural cause. After his death, the next ruler and the priests quickly returned to the old capital city and the old religious practices. Akhenaten was the father of King Tutankhamun, who died at a young age.

a)

Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

b)

The Pharaoh and new capital

c)

Akhenaten and his son Tut

d)

The Pharaoh and the god Aten

e)

How would you feel if you spent many months without seeing your friends and family? Would you be  happy to live in a very small space, with the same people for many weeks? These are the conditions  that astronauts have to face, so scientists are looking into the best ways to help them with their mental  health problems.

In 1982, a Russian astronaut called Valentin Lebedev had been travelling in space for seven months when he started to become more and more depressed. This was the first time that scientists realised that mental health could be a problem for astronauts, who need to carry out important and often dangerous tasks.

Many astronauts face problems because time is so different in space. For example, on the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts see the sun rise and set 16 times in one day. This makes it very hard for them to sleep. Spacecrafts also use blue light, which is the same light we use for computers and TV screens. Blue light also stops us from wanting to sleep, which is why you should not look at screens before you go to bed!

Until scientists have done research on more astronauts, we won’t fully understand the effects of space  travel on their mental health. However, scientists claim that mental health problems will be more likely  when astronauts start to make journeys to planets such as Mars, which might take 18 months or more.  As a result, people who want to become astronauts need special training on how to deal with stress.

The astronauts of the future will certainly have a lot more support than they did in the past. Already on  the ISS, astronauts spend a lot of time taking exercise, relaxing, eating healthy food and talking to their  families: all good ways to stay mentally healthy!

a)

The main idea in the first paragraph is  ............................. . 

b)

different mental health problems

c)

space exploration

d)

the situations astronauts have to face in space

e)

the depression the Russian astronaut had

These are the conditions  that astronauts have to face, so scientists are looking into the best ways to help them with their mental  health problems.

In 1982, a Russian astronaut called Valentin Lebedev had been travelling in space for seven months when he started to become more and more depressed. This was the first time that scientists realised that mental health could be a problem for astronauts, who need to carry out important and often dangerous tasks.

Many astronauts face problems because time is so different in space. For example, on the International Space Station (ISS), astronauts see the sun rise and set 16 times in one day. This makes it very hard for them to sleep. Spacecrafts also use blue light, which is the same light we use for computers and TV screens. Blue light also stops us from wanting to sleep, which is why you should not look at screens before you go to bed!

Until scientists have done research on more astronauts, we won’t fully understand the effects of space  travel on their mental health. However, scientists claim that mental health problems will be more likely  when astronauts start to make journeys to planets such as Mars, which might take 18 months or more.  As a result, people who want to become astronauts need special training on how to deal with stress.

The astronauts of the future will certainly have a lot more support than they did in the past. Already on  the ISS, astronauts spend a lot of time taking exercise, relaxing, eating healthy food and talking to their  families: all good ways to stay mentally healthy!

How would you feel if you spent many months without seeing your friends and family? Would you be  happy to live in a very small space, with the same people for many weeks? These are the conditions  that astronauts have to face, so scientists are looking into the best ways to help them with their mental  health problems.
