Funnier things may have happened on the way to the Forum, but snowbarding down the Monte Mario to get there cannot have been done many times before. One young man said it was not Cortina, but it was pretty good nonetheless. While Rome has coped a little better, in rural areas it is a different story. Since the start of the month at least 53 people have died, and entire villages are cut off. One 96 year-old man told reporters he was holding up well: Are you alone? No, there s my wife. She s sleeping. We have run out of bread. Do you have electricity? Yes, we still have that. The Balkans have seen some of the worst of the snow, blown by icy eastern winds into drifts metres deep in places. Such is the weight of the snow it has collapsed roofs and brought down swathes of forest.

8 Read this article carefully and answer the following questions:(february 2012) France s Renault has opened a giant factory in Morocco to build low-cost vehicles. The salaries of workers at the plant near Tangiers amount to less than a quarter of the French minimum wage. Renault boss Carlos Ghosn brushed off political considerations about the partly state-owned company exporting jobs saying they would never even thought of building the factory in Western Europe as that was incompatible with the concept of low-cost vehicles. During the last crisis, the government lent six billion euros to Renault and PSA Peugeot Citroen on condition that they avoid domestic closures. The French state is Renault s biggest shareholder with a 15 percent stake. The factory opening drew immediate criticism from politicians in France, where unemployment is at a 12-year high. It s completely intolerable and even scandalous, said Christian Estrosi, a lawmaker and former industry minister for Sarkozy s governing UMP party. Carlos Ghosn is breaking the promises he made to his main shareholder. Senator Gerard Larcher, a former majority leader, said Renault was ducking its societal responsibility to French workers and suppliers. The factory is intended to satisfy strong European demand for no-frills vehicles in a bid to buck the overall decline in the region s car market. With an initial investment of 600 million euros, sweetened by tax breaks, the Moroccan plant will reach an annual production capacity of 400,000 vehicles next year. 36- What is the purpose of the branch opened in Morocco? a) To sell more vehicules than in Europe b) To have lower costs c) To build low cost cars d) To avoid competitors
