READING COMPREHENSION:
Passage 1: Read the text bellow and then choose the best option to answer the question.
All of our Viet Nam volunteer projects are focused on working for and with children. Projects range from
working with sick kids in hospitals, looking after children in Buddhist temples, to providing much needed non-
formal education to Ha Noi's disadvantaged youth. Volunteers will be provided with full orientation and
assistance throughout the project.
The Agent Orange project opened more than 15 years ago to care for war veterans and children suffering from
the effects of Agent Orange. Since then, it has grown into a complex of 11 houses that care for a total of 120
children and 40 veterans. The village is supported by a highly committed and dedicated base of supporters who
volunteer their time, energy and resources to its projects.
From 1962 to 1971, during the war with VietNam, American forces sprayed well over 40 million liters of the
chemical defoliant, Agent Orange, over Southern Vietnam. However, Agent Orange had not been adequately
tested. The chemicals released during the 1960s inflicted a legacy of suffering on the Vietnamese. Precise
figures are difficult to agree, but there is no question that millions of people were exposed to the chemical. In
the wake of this exposure came liver damage, cancer, heart diseases, reproductive disorders and severe birth
defects.
The Agent Orange project is always in need of volunteers. Many of the people who back the organization spend
time raising funds in North America and Europe, and that leaves plenty more work to be done on the ground in
HaNoi. Regardless of how volunteers lend a hand to the community, their efforts directly help those who have
been affected by Agent Orange to live normal, happy and fulfilled lives. As with any undertaking of this size,
there's always a great deal to be done, and that leaves plenty of opportunity for volunteers to dig in.

Passage 2: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to
each of the questions.
I spend my days fighting poverty in New York City, so this time of year I get asked a lot at holiday parties
what people can do to help the poor. I like the question. At the Robin Hood Foundation, we’ve spent 27 years
trying to answer it.
As with any complex social issue, there are myriad reasons that people are poor. So we break down the
problem to create short and long-term change. We aim to make life better for people who are poor while at the
same time attacking the root causes of poverty. Once we’ve identified the various needs, we use empirical data
to identify and support programs that create real results.
It’s a process that works for our organization, and it can work for charity-minded individuals too. Getting
smart about the underlying causes of poverty will allow you to connect on a deeper level, which matters:
Donors are more likely to commit to a cause when it resonates emotionally. From there, you can then do a little
digging to determine which organization is worthy of your support.
So, in case we don’t see each other at a party this season, there are six key barriers poor people regularly
face: homelessness, hunger, health, unemployment, immigration, and education. And while they are often
interconnected, eliminating just one leads to an improved living standard. Whichever tugs at your heart, there’s
a group in your area ready to use your time or money effectively.
