Section BPassage One About 25 million children in developing countries have no homes. So they live on city streets. Another 75 million children live at home but work on the streets. United Nations Children’s Fund says most of these children do not receive education or health care. The private organization known as “Child Hope U.S.A.” is trying to do something to help these children. The group has many goals. Child Hope U.S.A. wants to halt the spread of AIDS and the use of illegal drugs among children. It wants to protect young girls from being mistreated sexually. It wants to teach children how to protect themselves, how to survive conditions on the streets and how to feel good about themselves. Child Hope U.S.A. is trying to establish educational programs for the children. It is working with local groups to get their help in protecting the rights of street children. And, it is trying to make international development groups more informed about street children. Some children begin living on the streets when they are five years old or younger. Four-year-old can be found selling goods on the street corner or begging for food and money. Some of these children have lost their families because of wars or natural disasters, such as earthquakes and floods. Some are helping their families earn enough money to survive. Studies show that more than one million children live and work on the streets in the Philippines. Seven million children live on the streets in Brazil. About 250 thousand children live on the streets in Mexico. About ten million Mexican children work on the streets. Child Hope U.S.A. works closely with international children’s groups, government agencies and other national and local groups. It has offices in Brazil, Guatemala, the Philippines, Britain, Canada and the United States. Child Hope U.S.A. also works to improve child labor laws. In 1992, Pakistan approved new laws to control child labor. The laws make it illegal for companies to lend money to families and let children repay the loan by working in factories. Yet, about eight million children still are working in Pakistan to repay loans. We will take more about the problems of children in developing countries next week. 11.How many children do not receive education or health care according to U. N. Children’s Fund ? 12.What organization is Child Hope U.S.A? 13.Why do the children come to the streets selling goods or begging? 14.Which country has the most children who work on the streets according to the news?
Passage Two The silence of the Reference Library was broken only by an occasional cough and now and then by the scarcely audible sound of pages being turned over. There were about twenty people in the room, most of them with their heads bent over their books. The assistant librarian who was in charge of the room sat at a desk in one corner. She glanced at Philip as he came in, then went on with her work. Philip has not been to this part of the library before. He walked around the room almost on tiptoe, afraid of disturbing the industrious readers with his heavy shoes. The shelves were filled with thick volumes: dictionaries in many languages, encyclopedias, atlases, biographies and others words of reference. He found nothing that was likely to interest him, until he came to a small shelf out of his reach, so he had to fetch a small ladder in order to get one down. Unfortunately, as he was climbing down the ladder, the book he had chosen slipped from his grasp and fell to the floor with a loud crash. Twenty pairs of eyes looked up at him simultaneously, annoyed by his unaccustomed disturbance. Philip felt himself go red as he picked up his book, which did not seem to have been damaged by its fall. He had just sat down when he found the young lady assistant standing alongside him. “You must be more careful when you are handling these books.” she said severely. Satisfied that she had done her duty, she turned to go back to her desk. Then a sudden thought struck her. “By the way, how old are you?” she asked Philip. “thirteen.” He told her. “You are not allowed in here if you’re under the age of fourteen, you know,” the assistant said. “Didn’t you see the notice on the door?” Philip shook his head. He expected the assistant to ask him to leave. Instead, in a more kindly tone, she said, “Well, never mind. But make sure that you don’t disturb the other readers again, otherwise I shall have to ask you to leave.” 15.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage? 16.What can be found in this part of the library? 17.What can we learn from the passage?
Passage Three Hidden passengers traveling in ships, trains, or even cars can be a terrible nuisance-especially when they are insects. In this respect, there is a great difference between human beings and insects. The former make every possible effort to avoid discovery, while the latter quickly draw attention to themselves. We can only sympathize with the unfortunate man who had to stop his car soon after setting out from a country village to drive to London. Hearing a strange noise from the back of the car, he naturally got out to have a look. He examined the wheels carefully but as he found nothing wrong, he continued his way. The noise began almost immediately and now it was louder than ever. Quickly turning his head, the man saw what appeared to be a great black could following the car. When he stopped at a village further on, he was told that a queen bee must be hidden in his car as there were thousands of bees nearby. On learning this, the man realized that the only way to escape would be to drive away as quickly as possible. After an hour’s hard driving, he arrived in London where he parked his car outside a hotel and went in to have a drink. It was not long before a customer who had seen him arrived and hurried in to inform him that his car was covered with bees. The poor motorist telephoned the police and explained what had happened. The police decided that the best way to deal with the situation would be to call a bee-keeper. In a short time, the bee-keeper arrived. He found the unwelcome passenger hidden near the wheels at the back of the car. Very grateful to the motorist for his unexpected gift, the keeper took the queen and her thousands of followers home in a large box. Equally grateful, the motorist drove away in peace, at last free from the “black cloud” which had hung over his car. 18. What did he hear from the back of the car? 19.Where did he examine carefully but he found nothing wrong, he continued his way? 20.On learning this, the man realized what would be to drive away as quickly as possible?
