B. Read the following passage and choose the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions:
 Volunteering, as some people consider mistakenly is a plethora of people from all
walk of life as well as activities, but data from the other side of the world suggest
otherwise. For example, a survey on who participated in volunteering by the Office for
National Statistics (ONS) in the United Kingdom (UK) showed that people in higher
income households are more likely than others to volunteer. In England and Wales, 57%
of adults with gross annual household incomes of £75.000 or more, have volunteered
formally in the 12 months prior to the survey date. They were almost twice more likely to
have done so than those living in households with as annual income under £10.000.
As well as having high household incomes, volunteers also tend to have higher
academic qualifications, be in higher socio-economic groups and be in employment.
Among people with a degree or postgraduate qualification, 79 per cent had volunteered
informally and 57 per cent had volunteered formally in the previous 12 months. For
people with no qualifications the corresponding proportions were 52 per cent and 23 per
cent at all. The answer perhaps lie in the fact that the rich tend to have money to allow
them more time to be become involved in voluntary work compared to less well-
off people.
The knock-on effect of volunteering on the lives of individuals can be profound.
Voluntary work helps foster independence and imparts the ability to deal with different
situations, often simultaneously, thus teaching people how to work their way through
different systems. It therefore brings people into touch with the real world; and, hence,
equips them for the future.

A why people undertook volunteering. B how many people participated in
volunteering.
C how many rich people did volunteer work. D which people were involved in

C less likely to volunteer than those with no qualifications.
D the only group likely to do formal volunteer work.
31. It is suggested that rich people volunteer as a result of having
A clearer goals. B fewer children. C more spare time. D greater guilt.

A function in system. B communicate clearly. C deal with failure. D overcome
shyness.
