IV. Read the passage and choose the best answer for each of the question below.
Passage 1
It has become an American tradition that those who attain great wealth return some of it
to the public through philanthropy. An early example of this was the generosity of Amos
Lawrence of Massachusetts, a wealthy merchant, who in the 1830's and afterwards


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

contributed much money for famine relief in Ireland. He also donated generously to
educational and other humanitarian causes.
In the early years of the twentieth century several men who had amassed vast fortunes
likewise became great philanthropists. Andrew Carnegie, an exceptionally energetic man,
who had begun working twelve hours a day when he was only fourteen years old, became
one of the world's richest men by pioneering in the steel industry. After his retirement in
1990 he devoted his time and his wealth to the establishment of free public libraries. He
also set up foundations for medical research and for world peace. Carnegie's belief, as he
expressed it in an essay, was that the wealthy person must 'consider all surplus revenues
which come to him simply as trust funds' which he 'is strictly bound as a matter of duty to
administer in the manner...best calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the
community - the man of wealth thus becoming the mere trustee and agent for his poorer
brethren.
John D. Rockefeller, who also began as a poor boy, became fabulously rich through oil
refineries and other enterprises. In his old age, in the early 1900's, he began to donate
millions for beneficial undertakings. The various Rockefeller foundations support
research as well as humanitarian causes in the United States and in other parts of the
world. Rockefeller funds are now fighting hunger through the so-called 'green
revolution,' whereby new agricultural techniques have greatly multiplied the yield of

food-crops in Mexico, India, Pakistan, and part of Africa.
1. How to become a philanthropist?
A. You must be very rich and know how to keep it.
B. You are very rich and donate your money to humanitarian causes.
C. You are a very rich and well-known merchant.
D. You are a very rich and well-known person in the steel industry.

family and his business.

family and his business.
C. A wealthy person should be an honest person that people trust.
D. A wealthy person has to keep and administer his money to produce most benefits for
the community.
Passage 2
Amnesty International
Right now, somewhere in the world, someone is writing a letter. The letter is addressed to
a president or king, a general, or the head of the police in another country. The letter is
about someone the writer does not even know. The writer is an ordinary person who has
never met a king or a general.
The writer is a member of Amnesty International. This organization was started in 1961
to help people who are put in prison only because of their race, their religion, or their
beliefs. They are not people who used violence or suggested that other people use
violence. More than one million people all over the world are member of Amnesty

International.


VnDoc - Tải tài liệu, văn bản pháp luật, biểu mẫu miễn phí

In the main Amnesty International office in London, people gather information about
prisoners in over 100 countries. They send this information to amnesty groups in more
than 70 countries. Each group receives information about 2 prisoners from countries with
different political systems. The members start writing letters.
A government that holds prisoners receives hundreds of letters. Each letter politely that
the prisoners be freed. The government knows that the prisoners are not forgotten. The
world cares about them.
Why do people take the time to write letters to help strangers? Members of Amnesty
International know that their letters can be successful. They know this is a way to take
direct action to help other human beings. The world knows this too. In 1977, Amnesty
International received the Nobel Peace prize, one of the most important international
prizes that any person or organization can win. It won the prize because thousands of
ordinary people care enough about human rights to write letters. The Amnesty
International candle, a sign of light and hope, shines all over the world.

V. Read the text below and decide which answer (A, B, C or D) best fits each space
In many schools in the world today children of all ages are encouraged, and (1) ____
forced in some cases, to take part in team sports. The (2) ____ philosophy is that team
sports are not only good for the body but also that they build a child's character. This may
well be true, but is the suggestion that team sports are the best way of developing a
child's character actually true? Participation in a team sport, of course, usually involves a
lot of (3) ____ training. Before important events children may have to train very hard in
order to be (4) ____ and physically fit for the 'big day'. Without doubt, such rigorous
training demands dedication and self-sacrifice on the part of the child. However, there are

sports such as tennis or even activities like chess require equal preparation and discipline.
Team sports are also considered to be character-building, in that they encourage cooperation between individual team members (6) ____, the success or the failure of the

encourage co-operation (7) ____ children.
Teachers frequently (8) ____ that team sports are about winning. They enhance the
'competitive spirit’ of the boys and girls who take part. It (9) ____ that non-team sports
do the same. Whether this is character-building or not, however, is open to question. So
many of the problems we face in society nowadays are the direct result of the 'me-first'
attitude found in so many people. Shouldn't schools aim to teach children that there is

much more to life than winning and being first?
In conclusion, clearly team sports are one way of developing children's characters, but it
would be wrong to consider them to be the best way (10) ____, we should encourage
children to develop their characters and personalities in ways they themselves feel are
best.
