Page 3/7 Exercise 3: There is one incorrect word in terms of spelling, grammar or usage in each line of the following passage Indicate and correct it Australia was settled by Europeans in 1788, mainly to home criminals, but with a little independent farmers and businessmen The settlements were not wealthy, and there was little help available to them in need: the poor, the sick, the unemploy, and the aged To begin with, what little help was availably came in the form of charity: donations of money, acommodation or medical treatment to selected needy A second approach that began to emerge in the last nineteenth century was that of “universalism” It stresses that all people in society should be entitle to certain benefits-up to a minimum level and across a restricted range of services This approach was eventually used to arguing for the introduction of a pension for the aged poor Line Line Line Line Line Line Line Line Line Line 10 III READING Exercise 1: Questions – 13 China’s ‘violent philanthropist’ gives away fresh air Even through the thick Beijing smog, it is impossible to mistake the ebullient figure shaking hands, signing autographs and barking at startled passersby: “Come on, two cans for each one – free fresh air Open it and drink it and breathe it! It keeps you fresh the whole day!” It is the kind of offer that has made Chen Guangbiao a household name in China: giving away thousands of tins of air to raise awareness of China’s pollution “If we don’t act in the next 10 years, our descendants will have to carry oxygen tanks and wear masks all the time,” he said at the publicity event in Beijing this month Chen, 44, is a multimillionaire entrepreneur who bills himself as the country’s number one philanthropist and environmentalist In January, he lay under a sheet of wood and steel while two cars drove over him, to demonstrate that the world would be better without cars In another comment on the drawbacks of motoring he smashed up a Mercedes Benz car Recently he put an advert in the New York Times proclaiming the disputed Diaoyu Islands – currently at the heart of the territorial row with Japan – to be Chinese, and announced he was giving new cars to drivers whose vehicles were destroyed in anti-Japanese protests – while simultaneously promoting a cycling initiative He also plans to give away $240,000 to young entrepreneurs in the next weeks But he is best known for his personal deliveries to the victims of natural disasters He arrived in Sichuan with a fleet of heavy machinery after the earthquake in 2008 When the tsunami struck Japan, he flew over with cash and goods He has apparently an unsinkable self-belief “I want to record the name of Chen Guangbiao in Chinese history,” he said His party trick is to lift a bike using his teeth and spin it around in the air It is, says Chen, all down to kung fu training at the famous Shaolin temple Chen grew up in the Page 4/7 countryside near Nanjing, in such poverty that two of his siblings starved to death He earned his first cash – around 60 cents – carrying water from a well to villagers one summer, and used some of the money to help pay for a neighbour’s schooling In recognition of his good deed, a teacher pasted a red star on his face “I ran around the classes … Every student wanted to learn from me and good things,” he explained He made his fortune recycling materials from demolished buildings and has vowed to give it all away before his death The Hurun rich list estimated his worth at $740m last year Already, he says, he has made donations worth $278m Others rank far ahead of him in independent lists of charitable donors and sceptics say it is hard to assess the real value of his gifts since they are often in kind He counters that other philanthropists give to charities in the sectors they work in, with the hope of commercial returns Chen calls his high-profile tactics “violent philanthropy” He says: “My individual power is limited I want to use my high-profile way to wake people up to take action together to good things I can only awake them with my performance art and creativity.” Admirers point out that most millionaires are doing little for their fellows And Chen’s stunts have, as he predicted, got people talking about philanthropy and the environment “We need these kinds of people to tell us that if you want to help people you need to take responsibility,” says Wang Lanjun, pausing to have her photo taken with him “He’s great!” enthused another passing pedestrian “He said I’m great,” Chen points out “You see? Ordinary people love me.” Questions – 5: Read the text and decide whether the statements are True (T) or False (F) Chen Guangbiao has given out free oxygen masks to passersby in Beijing He has destroyed a luxury car He has taken heavy equipment to an area affected by an earthquake He has helped pay for the education of some students at his village school He has made a promise to give away all his money before he dies Questions – 13: Read the text and choose the most suitable word in the box to fill in each blank in the summary There are more words than needed awareness donations drawbacks fortune initiatives poverty responsibility philanthropy stunts simultaneously Chen Guangbiao is an extraordinary figure who started life in extreme (6) and then succeeded in making a huge (7) _ through recycling building materials He is famous in China for both his large (8) to people in need and his spectacular publicity (9) which aim to raise (10) _ about key environmental issues One of his latest (11) has been to give away cans of fresh air to publicise the threat of air pollution In addition, he has also organised events to show the significant (12) of using motor vehicles The hope is that his campaigns will encourage individuals and companies to take (13) for their impact on the environment Exercise 2: Choose the best option to complete the passage Page 5/7 A love of travelling For Nigel Portman, a love of travelling began with what’s (14) _ a ‘gap year’ In common with many other British teenagers, he chose to take a year out before (15) _ to study for his degree After doing various jobs to (16) _ some money, he left home to gain some experience of life in different cultures, visiting America and Asia The more adventurous the young person, the (17) the challenge they are likely to set themselves for the gap year, and for some, like Nigel, it can (18) _ in a thirst for adventure Now that his university course has (19) to an end, Nigel is just about to leave on a three-year trip that will take him right around the world What’s more, he plans to make the whole journey using only means of transport which are (20) _ by natural energy In other words, he’ll be (21) mostly on bicycles and his own legs; and when there’s an ocean to cross, he won’t be taking a (22) _ cut by climbing aboard a plane, he’ll be joining the crew of a sailing ship (23) As well as doing some mountain climbing and other outdoor pursuits along the way, Nigel hopes to pass on to the people he meets the environmental message that lies behind the whole idea 14 A called 15 A settling down 16 A achieve 17 A stronger 18 A result 19 A come 20 A pulled 21 A attempting 22 A quick 23 A anyway B named B getting up B raise B wider B lead B turned B charged B using B short B alike C referred C taking over C advance C greater C cause C reached C forced C relying C brief C instead D known D holding back D win D deeper D create D brought D powered D trying D swift D otherwise Exercise 3: Fill in each blank with a most suitable word Number of blue whales increasing This is a good-news story about sea life Scientists (24) _ reported that the numbers of blue whales in the eastern Pacific Ocean (25) the highest they have been in over a century Researchers at the University of Washington report that there are now over 2,200 blue whales (26) Mexico and Alaska Hunters killed nearly all the blue whales in that area and they were (27) _ to extinction (28) _ became illegal in 1971 and the numbers of the world's largest mammal started increasing It has (29) over 40 years for the blue whale to recover Lead (30) _ Dr Cole Monnahan was very happy at this positive news He said: "For us, this is a great conservation success story."
