Question One: Comprehension.

Read the passage then answer the

questions below.

Sudan is one of the richest countries in wildlife in Africa. This animal wealth belongs to all the Sudanese people and it is our duty to protect and preserve it. In the past people were allowed to hunt animals for food. They used traditional weapons such as spears, and nets. The amount they killed was limited. But when firearms were later introduced specially by those who hunt for commercial purposes, animals were killed in great numbers and some species became threatened with extinction. That was why the government established the department of wildlife, conservation and tourism to protect animals and arrest those who hunt without permission In some arts of the Sudan, there are several game parks and forest reserves where none may hunt or kill a wild animal. For example, Dinder Park and Nimule which is in the south of Juba on the boarder with Uganda. Visitors who go to Nimule Park can watch the magnificent sight of the hippos and crocodiles swimming in the river. The guides who accompany the visitors often warn them to be on look out for snakes, which are lying, in the thick grass. So national parks bring income to our country. Tourists come from various countries to see different kinds of animals and they bring with them hard currency such dollar, euro, franc and sterling. This money can improve our economy.
