Reading Comprehension( 12 marks)Jericho is a small city which stands in a deep valley between Jerusalem and Amman, near the Dead Sea. This is a famous salt lake that is 400 metres below sea level and is the lowest place on Earth. Jericho is most popular with tourists in the warm winter months. There are hotels for these visitors, and a lot of the people who live there work in tourism. Farming is also very important in this area. With large quantities of water and a warm climate, this part of Palestine is an excellent place to grow bananas and various other fruit and vegetable crops – including, of course, dates from all the palms. With its water and warm climate, human beings first started visiting the area 12,000 years ago. There were many people who chose to remain, and they became some of the world’s first farmers. These were also the people that 500 years later constructed the first city in the world. Later, it had a high tower and stone walls which were almost four metres high. Tourists love seeing those walls today. They are a window on our most ancient past.
