Section 10: Read the text and choose the best answer.

Each nation has many people who voluntarily take care of others. For example, many high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages or homes for the aged. They read books to the people in these places. Sometimes the students just visit them, play games with them or listen to their problems.

Other young volunteers work in the homes of sick or old people. They clean up their houses, do their shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers, there is a voluntary organization called Big Brothers. College students take these boys to baseball games and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.

Some high school students take part in helping disadvantaged or handicapped children. They give care and comfort to them and help them to overcome their difficulties. Young college and university students participate in helping the people who have suffered badly in wars or natural disasters. During summer vacations, they volunteer to work in remote or mountainous areas to provide education for children.

Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games. Some of these clubs organise short trips to the mountains, beaches or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high schools and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to understand the problems of younger boys and girls.

READING COMPREHENSION

Section 9: Choose the word or phrase among A, B, C or D that best fits the blank space in the following passage.

Telephones help people speak to one another when they are apart. For more than a hundred years, nearly every telephone was a landline. A landline telephone is one that needs to be connected by a wire to a network of other telephones. Because of the wires, people could not take those telephones with them when they left their homes or offices.

What if you had to make a call while you were away from home? You had to find a pay phone. Pay phones are landlines found in public places. Many pay phones are on the street. You can make a call from inside a glass or metal space called a phone booth. Once you are inside the booth, you put coins into a slot in the phone to make a call.

Telephones have seen a lot of progress. Today, many people carry cell phones. Cell phones do not need to be connected with wires. They can be used almost anywhere and can fit in an adult's hand.

Many cell phones sold today are smart phones. A smart phone is a cell phone that has lots of computer-style features. For example, people use smart phones to check e-mail and go on the Internet. And all that can be done using something small enough to carry in a pocket!

31. What is a landline telephone?

A. a telephone that can be carried around in your pocket and used anywhere

B. a telephone that can be used in a public place            

C. a telephone that needs to be connected by a wire to a network of other telephones        

D. a telephone that can be used to check e-mail and go on the Internet

A. a pay phone                      

B. a smart phone                   

C. a cell phone                      

D. a mobile phone

33. Pay phones are probably not used as much today as they were in the past. What piece of evidence supports this conclusion?

A. Many people today carry cell phones, which can be used almost anywhere.

B. Payphones are landlines that can be found in public places.

C. People could not take landlines with them when they left their homes.

D. People put coins into a slot in the pay phone to make a call.

34. What might be a reason that cell phones were invented?

A. People wanted to be able to make calls from their homes or offices.                  

B. People wanted to be able to make calls away from home without finding a pay phone. 

C. People wanted to be able to speak to one another when they were apart.            

D. People wanted to be able to speak and see each other from far distance.

35. What is the main idea of this article?

A. Telephones are used to keep people apart as much as possible                            

B. Cell phones are much less useful than landlines and pay phones.                        

C. Landlines and pay phones still play an important part in the world nowadays.   

D. Telephones have been used for many years, and they have changed a lot over time.

Section 10: Read the text and decide whether the following statements are TRUE (T) or FALSE (F) or NOT GIVEN (NG).

Everybody has got a way of relaxing from the work done during the week. Many people like to have their hobbies like gardening, collecting, reading, dancing and playing cards or chess. Others prefer to practise some kind of sport like football, basketball, handball, golf, tennis or swimming. Still others prefer not to take a direct part in an activity and decide for an entertainment going to the ballet, opera, cinema, theatre, circus or attending a sports event. The option for a hobby, a sport or an entertainment varies according to people's age, sex, education, social status opportunity and personal needs.

For those who prefer an entertainment several aspects must be considered: if you live in the countryside, it's difficult to have the opportunity of access to most of the events because they usually take place in larger towns: ballet, opera and classical music are diversions usually attended by the so-called upper classes and people with a higher education; going to the cinema, theatre, circus or a sports event is something that most people like whatever their social status is. The sports events, especially football, are particularly popular.

More than deciding for a hobby, a sport or an entertainment without any special reason, sometimes you have to decide according to your needs. That's what happens to some people who have to work in the same position all day long and need to practise some kind of physical activity to prevent physical health problems. In this case the option for a sport would be advisable.

36. Swimming isn’t a physical activity.

37. Your education can influence your way of relaxing.

38. Those with a higher education prefer opera to rugby.

39. More people attend the ballet than the cinema.

40. Nobody needs to practice a physical activity.
