READING
Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
Around the world, Rio de Janeiro is famous for its beautiful beaches and Carnival celebration.
But the city is also known for its poor areas, known as favelas. For years, many favelas had high poverty
and crime rates. However, things are starting to change.
In the past, many favelas received very little government assistance. Neighborhood residents had
to build their own streets and homes. Gangs were also com guns. However, a new government plan is
starting to change this. The city is sending thousands of police officers into favelas with the goal of
driving out the gangs. In some favelas, the plan is already working. Crime is down, and unlike in the past,
children arc playing in the streets again. New apartment buildings are being built, and the city is
providing more services. “In 20 years,” says police officer Leonardo Nogueira, “the children who live
here now ... will be different people.”
Police influence is changing the favelas, but something else is, too. Today, more Brazilians are
moving into these neighborhoods because housing is expensive in other parts of Rio. “Favelas are a place
for young doctors without much money to get started and young architects to start working,” explains
Simone Miranda, a Rio tour guide. In the past, favela residents felt different - separate from the rest of
Rio. “But now,” says Miranda, “they feel part of the society of Brazil.”
Life is improving in the favelas, but there are still challenges. In some areas, poverty rates are still
high. As students, families, and foreigners move into the favelas, property costs skyrocket. In some
places, housing has more than doubled in price. Despite this, favela residents are hopeful. If Rio can
develop these favelas for all residents – both poor and middle class - the city could become a model for
other cities with similar problems.

years.
4. What is the purpose of the third paragraph?

favelas
