Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
WWF, in full World Wide Fund for Nature, international organization committed to conservation of the
environment. In North America, it is called the World Wildlife Fund.
In 1960, a group of British naturalists - most notably biologist Sir Julian Huxley, artist and
conservationist Peter Scott, and ornithologists Guy Montfort and Max Nicholson - led an effort to establish an
organization that protected endangered species and their habitats. The following year the World Wildlife
Fund was founded; the international name was subsequently changed to World Wide Fund for Nature in
1989, although in the United States and Canada it retained the founding name. The organization's distinctive
panda logo was created by Scott. In the face of growing environmental threats over the ensuing years, the
WWF's activities expanded in scope. Today its mission statement is threefold: to conserve the world's
biological diversity, to ensure that the use of renewable natural resources is sustainable, and to promote
the reduction of pollution and of wasteful consumption. The organization has long included both
conservationists and businesspeople with the intention of combining solid scientific data with well-managed
action. It also seeks cooperation between nongovernmental organizations, local governments, and local
populations. The WWF works closely with the World Conservation Union and has formed partnerships
with the United Nations, the World Bank, and the European Union.
The WWF provides money for conservation initiatives around the world. These include programs
focused on individual species, forests, and freshwater and marine issues as well as climate change and
responsible international trade. The group has also been involved in efforts to provide a safe and sustainable
habitat for the world's peoples, both urban and rural, including clean water, clean air, healthful food, and
rewarding recreation areas. Among the WWF's notable achievements is its use of debt-for-nature swaps, in
which an organization buys some of a country's foreign debt at a discount, converts the money to local
currency, and then uses it to finance conservation efforts. The WWF's first successful debt-for-nature swap
3

took place in 1987 in Ecuador.
At the beginning of the 21st century, the WWF was active in more than 100 countries and had more
than five million supporters. The organization's international headquarters are in Gland, Switz., and it has more
than 90 offices around the world.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
The difference between the nuclear family and the extended family is that a nuclear family refers to a
single basic family unit of parents and their children, whereas the extended family refers to their
relatives such as grandparents, in-laws, aunts and uncles, etc. In many cultures, and particularly indigenous
societies, the latter is the most common basic form of social organization.
A nuclear family is limited, according to Kristy Jackson of Colorado State University, to one or two
parents (e.g. a father and mother) and their own child, or children, living together in a single house or other
dwellings. In anthropology, they only must be related in this fashion; there is no upper or lower limit on the
number of children in a nuclear family.
The extended family is a much more nebulous term, but in essence refers to kin or relations not
covered by the above definition. In historical Europe and Asia as well as in Middle Eastern, African, and South
American Aboriginal cultures, extended family groups were typically the most basic unit of social organization,
The term can differ in specific cultural settings, but generally includes people related in age or by lineage.
Anthropologically, the term "extended family" refers to such a group living together in a household,
often with three generations living together (grandparents, parents, and children) and headed in patriarchal
societies by the eldest man or by some other chosen leadership figure. However, in common parlance, the term
"extended family" is often used by people simply to refer to their cousins, aunts, uncles, and so on, even though
they are not living together in a single group.
Question 36: What is the passage mainly about?
4

A.
The dominance of nuclear families over extended ones
B.
The dominance of extended families over nuclear ones
C.
A distinction between nuclear families and extended ones
D.

.
A. family unit
B. relatives
C. the nuclear family D. the extended family
Question 38: Historically, extended families were the most basic unit of social organization in all of the
following places EXCEPT
.
A. The Middle East
B. Asia
C. North America
D. Europe
Question 39: The word "patriarchal" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to
.
A. ruled or controlledby men
B. equal for both men and women
C. simple with no rules and laws
D. modern with advanced facilities
Question 40: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Since the 20th century, more and more American couples have lived in extended families because of the
financial burdens.
B. Nuclear families are the most basic form of social organization all over the world.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the
questions.
Think back to the last time you helped someone, whether it was holding the door open for a classmate or raking
your elderly neighbour's leaves. While you were doing it and afterward, how did you feel? We are going to make
a safe bet you felt happy and more positive about life. That's because the fastest way to feel joy is serving others.
An old Chinese proverb tells it perfectly, “If you want happiness for an hour, take a nap. If you want happiness
for a day, go fishing. If you want happiness for a year, inherit a fortune. If you want happiness for a lifetime, help
somebody.”
But serving does not just make your heart feel good. Studies have shown that there are mental and physical
health benefits to serving, like reducing depression, lowering blood pressure and lengthening your lifespan.
Putting other people's needs before yours also strengthens your relationships. It connects you with the one
you're serving, and if that someone is someone you know, it creates a stronger bond with them.
It also enriches other people's lives. Taking time out of your busy day to even bring a friend a bowl of soup when
they are sick makes them feel better and can uplift them during their rough time.
And perhaps the best benefit of service is the chance of that person paying it forward. If you help someone, they
are more likely to do something nice for someone else that day. Your one act of kindness could have a major
domino effect.
Question 33. Which of the following best serves the title of the passage?
        A. How to Live Happily        
B. Time to Help Others
        C. Why It's Important to Help Others         
D. Strengthening Relationships
Question 34. Why does the author quote the Chinese proverb in the second paragraph?
A. To give an example of the period of time it takes to help somebody
B. To show how important it is to help others
C. Because happiness varies depending on people's needs
D. Because the author wants to compare kindness with happiness
Question 35. The word 'It' in the fifth paragraph refers to ______.
A. your good deed or kindness
B. a stronger bond between you with someone you know
C. strengthening your relationships
D. the act of putting other people's needs before yours
Question 36. What does the last sentence of the passage imply?
A. Other acts of kindness will highly likely to happen due to yours.
B. You could make more people feel happy with your kindness.
C. There will be more acts of kindness, but yours is the major.
D. Without your act of kindness, other people can still behave well.
Question 37. As we learn from the passage, which of the following is unlikely to be considered as an act of
kindness?
A. Giving someone your seat on a crowded bus
B. Helping the elderly cross the crowded street
C. Speeding up so everyone cannot merge in front of you in traffic
D. Bringing your neighbour a bowl of porridge when they are sick
