A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS

 I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an isolated
village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N'Djamena. Coming from a rich country, I got quite a shock as
conditions were much harder than I had expected. But after a few days I soon got used to living there. The
people were always very friendly and helpful, and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside
was.
One of my jobs was to supply the village with water. The well was a long walk away. And the women used
to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards. So I contacted organization and
arranged to have some pipes delivered. We built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it worked first time. It
wasn't perfect - there were a few leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers, who had never had
running water before. And not only did we have running water, but in the evenings it was hot, because the
pipe had been lying in the sun all day.
All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience. Although it was not well-paid, it was well
worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone who was considering working for a charity.

Câu 31: According to paragraph 1, the author ...........................

A. has been working for OV for a year
B. was born in a rich family
C. used to be a volunteer working in a remote village
D. is living in the capital N'Djamena now
Câu 32: How did the author feel when he arrived in the village?
A. depressed B. impressed C. surprised D. disappointed
Câu 33: Which of the following is NOT TRUE?
A. Solar energy was used to heat water.
B. A pipeline was built to carry clean water to homes.
C. It took a lot of time to take water home from the well.
D. The villagers used to live in conditions without running water.
Câu 34: The word 'It' in line 9 refers to ...........................
A. the pump B. the supply of water C. running water D. the pipeline
Câu 35: What does the author think about his time with OV?
A. It wasted time. B. It was paid a lot of money.
C. It provided good experience. D. It was not worth working.

PART D: WRITING
Rewrite or combine the following sentences without changing the meaning of the root sentence with the letter
begin.

2. I started working here ten years ago.

Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and went to New York City when she was ten years old.
One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the
middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters seeking admission to medical schools, she was
finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. As a determined woman, she taught at the school and gave music
lessons to earn money for her study. In 1849, after her graduation from medical school, she decided to
continue her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon, but a serious eye infection forced her to give up
the idea.
After returning to the United States, she realized that it was difficult to start her own practice because
she was a woman. By 1857 Elizabeth and her sister, also a doctor, along with another female doctor, managed
to open a new hospital, the first for women and children. She not only was the first female physician and a
founder of her own hospital, but also set up the first medical school for women.
46. When did she leave for New York City?
A. 1831 B. 1821 C. 1825 D. 1835
47. What was the main reason that made her dream of becoming a doctor impossible?
A. She was a woman. B. She wrote too many letters
C. She couldn't finish her study at the medical school. D. She couldn't set up her own hospital.

48. According to the passage, how many countries did she live in?
A.3 B. 4 C. 5 D. 2
49. Where did she decide to continue her education after graduating from medical school?
A. England B. New York City C. Paris D. the United States
50. All of the following are " first" in the life of Elizabeth Blackwell, EXCEPT:
A. She became the first female physician.
B. She established the first medical school for women.
C. She and many other women founded the first hospital for women and children.

homework (16) is done on the Internet. They do not
need to carry students’ papers around with them any more.

her dream at the Sorbonne. In spite of her difficult living conditions, she worked hard. She earned a
degree in Physics with flying colors, and went on to take another degree in math. She met Pierre
Curie in the school of Physics in 1894 and a year later they got married. They worked together on

A newspaper makes money from the price people pay for it and also from the
advertisements it carries. A popular newspaper with a circulation of over five million a day
makes a lot of money. Serious newspapers are read principally for their news, sent to them
by their correspondents around the world and by the big news agencies.
People also read these newspapers for their reviews of new books, movies, plays, and
for their editorials, which present the opinion of the newspaper itself about the important
events and issues of the moment. Less serious newspapers are probably read just for
entertainment. They have big headlines above the news stories, funny cartoons to look at
and sensational photos of violence.

Every day many road accidents happen in Hong Kong. Everyone, especially children
must learn how to cross the road. A simple code to remember is “STOP, LOOK and
LISTEN BEFORE YOU CROSS”.
The Transport Department organizes road safety campaigns every year in order to
reduce traffic accidents. Parents and teachers should educate children on road safety.
Most schools have their own School Road Safety Patrols. The School Road Safety Patrols
25
 is a uniformed group. It recruits secondary school students as members. Students in
senior forms help fellow students cross the road correctly and safely on their way to and
from school.
When you go out alone, however, what is the best way to cross the road? First, you
must find a safe place to cross. Of course, it is safest to be directed by a policeman or a
traffic warden. Roads are dangerous. However, if everyone takes care when crossing the
road, there will be fewer traffic accidents. Our transport system will then become safer
and more efficient.

During the last 400 years, most scientists have relied on mathematics for the
development of their inventions or discoveries. However, one great British scientist, Michael
Faraday, did not make use of mathematics Faraday, the son of a poor blacksmith, was born in
London in 1791 and had no education beyond reading and writing.
In 1812, Faraday was hired as a bottle washer by the great chemist Humphry Davy.
Later, Faraday became a greater scientist than Dary, making the last years of Davy’s life
embittered with jealousy.
Faraday made the first electric motor in 1821, a device that used electricity to
produce movement. Then Faraday became interested in the relationship between electricity
and magnetism. In 1831, he discovered that when a magnet is moved near a wire, electricity
flows in the wire. With this discovery, he produced a machine for making electricity called
dynamo Faraday then went on to show how electricity affects chemical substances.
Because Faraday believed that money should be given to the poor, when he grew old,
he was very poor. However, Queen Victoria rewarded him for his discoveries by giving him a
stipend and a house. He died in 1867.
36. Which of the following statements is NOT true about Faraday?
