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.
World-wide, the effect of the spreading AIDS virus has created 16.6 million orphans, 90 percent of
whom are in sub-Saharan Africa, a region where the crisis has been particularly deadly.
What is the United Nations doing to address the AIDS crisis? UN-AIDS and its agencies have brought some
innovative ways of spreading the message that, first, people need to overcome the stigma of AIDS so they
can come forward to learn about prevention, diagnosis and treatment. One way to transmit this message is by
providing education and AIDS awareness training to local community members whose work brings them
into regular contact with other members. One such local community member is Paul Lopez, a hairdresser in

Code 111/Page 3
Mexico City. Paul's clients tend to confide in him, their regular hairdresser. Therefore, he was trained by a
UN-AIDS programme to dispense advice about testing and treatment of HIV-AIDS. Now, along with
advice about beauty, Paul tells clients how they can protect themselves from the AIDS virus or where they
can go for treatment should they need it.
Another crisis that United Nations programmes address is the crisis of care produced by the
overwhelming number of AIDS orphans, 95 percent of whom are in sub-Saharan Africa, where the spread of
AIDS has been particularly lethal. Normally, when a child's parents die of AIDS, other family members will
take responsibility for the orphaned child. But because there are such increasing numbers of AIDS orphans
and because the economic resources of some communities are so limited, it is increasingly difficult to find
adults who can take in extra children. Often, children live by themselves in their deceased parents' home,
surviving as well as they can. To support those children, United Nations and its agencies such as UNICEF
sends aid workers and mobilizes community-based volunteer groups to go to the homes of orphaned
children with daily supplies of food, money and advice on how to spend it.
Question 31: What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. The AIDS crisis in Africa and how the government addresses the problem
B. The United Nations’ programmes to tackle the AIDS and AIDS orphans crisis
C. The causes of AIDS and AIDS orphans crisis in sub-Saharan Africa
D. The actions of United Nations and its UNICEF to support children in need.
Question 32: According the reading, what is the first thing that is mentioned in the message of United
Nations about AIDS?
A. get over the stigma of AIDS B. go through the HIV-AIDS testing
C. learn about prevention and diagnosis D. overcome the treatment of AIDS
Question 33: The word “dispense” in paragraph 2 mostly means _______.
A. obtain B. persuade C. provide D. distinguish
Question 34: Which of the following is an action from United Nations to support AIDS orphans?
A. limit aid workers and volunteer groups B. send daily supplies of food and money
C. take responsibility for the houses D. give advice on how to raise income level
Question 35: What does the word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
A. advice B. UNICEF C. orphan child D. food or money
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.
THE MEANING OF VOLUNTEERING
The knock-on effect of volunteering on the lives of individuals can be profound. Voluntary work helps
foster independence and imparts the ability to deal with different situations, often simultaneously, thus
teaching people how to work their way through different systems. It therefore brings people into touch with
the real world; and, hence, equips them for the future.
Initially, young adults in their late teens might not seem to have the expertise or knowledge to impart to
others that say a teacher or agriculturalist or nurse would have, but they do have many skills that can help
others. And in the absence of any particular talent, their energy and enthusiasm can be harnessed for the
benefit of their fellow human beings, and ultimately themselves. From all this, the gain to any community no
matter how many volunteers are involved is immeasurable.

Code 111/Page 4
 Employers will generally look favourably on people who have shown an ability to work as part of a
team. It demonstrates a willingness to learn and an independent spirit, which would be desirable qualities in
any employee. So to satisfy employers’ demands for experience when applying for work, volunteering can
act as a means of gaining experience that might otherwise elude would-be workers and can ultimately lead
to paid employment and the desired field.
But what are the prerequisites for becoming a volunteer? One might immediately think of attributes
like kindness, selflessness, strength of character, ability to deal with others, determination, adaptability and
flexibility and a capacity to comprehend the ways of other people. While offering oneself selflessly, working
as a volunteer makes further demands on the individual. It requires a strength of will, a sense of moral
responsibility for one’s fellow human beings, and an ability to fit into the ethos of an organisation. But it
also requires something which in no way detracts from valuable work done by volunteers and which may
seem at first glance both contradictory and surprising: self-interest.
Organisations involved in any voluntary work have to be realistic about this. If someone, whatever the
age is going to volunteer and devote their time without money, they do need to receive something from it for
themselves. People who are unemployed can use volunteer work as a stepping-stone to employment or as a
means of finding out whether they really like the field the plan to enter or as a way to help them find
themselves.
It is tempting to use some form of community work as an alternative to national service or as
punishment for petty criminals by making the latter for example clean up parks, wash away graffiti, work
with victims of their own or other people. Those may be acceptable, but it does not constitute volunteer
work, two cardinal rules of which are the willingness to volunteer without coercion and working unpaid.
