Exercise 3. Read the passage and choose the best answers.
Each country has many good people who take care of others. For example, some
students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages
or homes for the elderly. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit
these people and play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They
paint, clean up, or repair their houses, and do the shopping. For boys who don’t have fathers,
there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys
to basketball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things those boys
usually learn from their fathers.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go and play games. Some of
these clubs show movies or hold short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums, or
other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of students as volunteers because they
are young enough to understand the problems of younger boys and girls.

PETS
Many people like to keep pets. Dogs and cats are very popular pets. Some people,
however, keep birds or goldfish. They need less space and are easier to look after.
If you want to have a pet, you can buy one from a pet shop, but you must be careful not
to buy a sick animal. It is best if you know something about the pet you want. This helps you
choose a healthy pet. However, if you do not have much money and know very little about
animals, you can visit the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA).
The first society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals was founded in England in
1821. It was set up to make sure that all animals are treated with kindness. The RSPCA in
Hong Kong carries out this aim. The RSPCA officers collect animals which have no homes and
are left in the street. They look after them until they are healthy again. People visiting the
RSPCA may choose their pets from these animals and you can be sure that you will get a
healthy pet. If later your pet becomes ill, you can take it to the doctors at the RSPCA for
treatment.
When you have a pet, it is very important that you look after it properly. You must
remember to feed it at suitable times. You should also give it a clean and comfortable place
to rest. Your pet will be happy and healthy if you love it and care for it properly.
1. According to the passage, what kind of pet needs more space?
A. A dog B. A bird C. A goldfish D. A mouse

In the 1960s, The Beatles were probably the most famous pop group in the whole world.
Since then, there have been a great many groups that have achieved enormous fame, so it is
perhaps difficult now to imagine how sensational The Beatles were at that time. They were
four boys from the north of England and none of them had any training in music. They
started by performing and recording songs by black Americans and they had some success
with these songs. Then they started writing their own songs and that was when they became
really popular. The Beatles changed pop music. They were the first pop group to achieve
great success from songs they had written themselves. After that it became common for
groups and singers to write their own songs.
