A) – Comprehension:
Part One: Reading
Read the text carefully then do the exercises

[ 1 ] There are thousands of street children in Morocco. These are

homeless children who live in poverty and who are outside the school
system. These children are victims of violence and all kinds of drugs,
marginalization, and exploitation. Their future is as dark as the streets they
live on. In Casablanca, approximately 7,000 children live in this condition. Most of them were
abandoned or chose to escape domestic violence. While some of them work in the streets during
the day and go home at night to sleep, others would spend the night on the streets. Homeless
children do not often stay in one place. They move between neighborhoods and cities in search of a
shelter.

[ 2 ] Such social problem is not unique to Casablanca. In Marrakech, another big city in
Morocco, homeless children struggle to earn a few Dirhams by selling
packets of tissues, tourist guides, and other products daily. With these few
Dirhams, these children can buy all kinds of drugs, just to alleviate the
stress of their daily lives. According to official statistics, the number
fluctuates between 10,000 and 30,000. However, it is easy to pinpoint that
poverty, unemployment, divorce and the lack of care and affection given to certain children in the
family environment are some of the factors that force children to live on the streets.
