answer to each of the questions from 39 to 45.
A COW NOT A CUP
There is a well-known proverb: "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and
you feed him for a lifetime." It was this simple idea that led a farmer, Dan West, from the American Midwest to
start up a charity more than seventy years ago. The idea for the charity came to him when he was helping
refugees as an aid-worker in Spain. He was there to provide relief, but soon realized that the single cup of milk
rationed to the tired and hungry refugees was not nearly enough. And then it struck him: What if instead of a
cup of milk, they had a cow?
It's not just a question of giving people a handout: the aim is to bring communities together and bring
sustainable agriculture and commerce to areas where poverty has long been the norm. Giving the family an
animal provides them with both food and a reliable income, as they can sell or trade products such as milk and
eggs at market.
As the number of families with a sustainable income increases, they can pool their resources and form
farming cooperatives and community-savings schemes, and even build schools and other communal amenities.
The aim of the project is to help families become self-reliant, but it is based on the idea of shared
knowledge and giving. Families pass on the training they receive, and also give the first female offspring of the
sheep or cow or whatever livestock it is they have to another family. In this way the original donations spreads
through the community, and the family that was poor become donors themselves.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 13 to 17.
It's always thought that women are the second class in citizen, and men are the first. There is not a real
equality of opportunity for men and women. Years ago, people were living in a man- dominated society.
Women had to obey their husbands and fathers absolutely. Women's place was in the kitchen and women's
work was housework. In many places, women were not even allowed to go to school. Women had no rights,
even the right to choose a husband for themselves. Men usually occupied high positions in society so they
thought they were more intelligent and important than women. Men considered women their property.
Sometimes, women were mistreated by their husbands and suffered this as a fate. Many parents did not even
want to have female children.
Thanks to the women's liberation movement, women have nowadays proved that they are equal to men on
every aspect. An average woman has weaker muscles than an average man but she may be as intelligent as him.
Women can do everything that men can and women can do one thing that no men can; they produce children.

A. women were the first class. B. women had no rights.
