Choose A, B, C, D which best answer for the question + Paragraph A. Like the Y & Y, the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is a youth organization. It builds good character, and encourages good citizenship and personal fitness Scouting began in England in 1907. Two years later an American businessman, William Boyce, got lost in London. A boy helped him and explained that he was a scout. This meeting led to the Scouts Association crossing the Atlantic in 1910 Although scouting is mainly for boys, there are organizations similar to the BSA which girls can join. The Girl Guides Association and the coeducational Camp Fire Boys and Girls, both of which started in 1910, are two such groups In 1994, there were 5,400,000 scouts in America. Now scouting is popular worldwide. The Scouting Association has more than 25 million members, making it the largest voluntary youth organization in the world Although each nation`s scouting program differs slightly, the three aims, established in 1907, are the same for the 21st century 1. The Boy Scouts is an organization for elders and young people 2. Scouting started in American and England in 1907 3. The three aims of scouting activities were established in 1907 4. Girls can join scouting activities by participating in The Girl Guides Association and the coeducational Camp Fire Boys and Girls 5. According to the passage, what does BSA build and encourage? A. various sports activities B. boys and girls to participate in the organization C. voluntary work and scouting D. personal fitness, good character and citizenship. 6. When was the meeting between William Boyce and a boy scout? A. In 1907 B. In 1910 C. In 1909 D. In 1907 + Paragraph B. Today, millions of people want to learn or improve their English but it is difficult to find the best method. Is it better to study in Britain or America or to study in your own country? The advantages of going to Britain seem obvious. Firstly, you will be able to listen to the language all the time you are in the country. You will be surrounded completely by the language wherever you go. Another advantage is that you have to speak the language if you are with other people. On the other hand, there are also advantages when you stay at home to study. You don't have to make big changes to your life As well as this, it is also a lot cheaper than going to Britain but it is never possible to achieve the results of living in the UK. If you have a good teacher in your country, I think you can learn in a more concentrated way than being in Britain without going to a school So, in conclusion, I think that if you have enough time and enough money, the best choice is to spend some time in the UK This is simply not possible for most people, so being here in Italy is the only viable option. The most important thing to do in this situation is to maximize your opportunities: to speak only English in class and to try to use English whenever possible outside the class 1. Nowadays, millions of people want to learn or improve their English and their mother tongue 2. Learning English in your country is more expensive than going to Britain 3. When you go to the UK to learn English, you will have to speak English and not your language 4. People who don’t have a lot of time and money should try to speak English in class more often 5. What is one of the advantages of staying in your country to learn English? A. The teachers aren't very good in Britain B. You have to work too hard in Britain C. Your life can continue more or less as it was before D. You can stay at your home and learn English 6. What is the article about? A. How many people learn English B. The best way to learn English C. English schools in England and America D. The best way to stay at home to study + Paragraph C. We are all destroying the Earth. The seas and rivers are too dirty to swim in. There is so much smoke in the air that it is unhealthy to live in many of the world’s cities. We have cut down so many trees that there are now vast areas of wasteland all over the world. As a result, farmers in parts of Africa cannot grow enough to eat. In certain countries in Asia there is too little rice. Wild animals are quickly disappearing. For instance, tigers are rare in India now because we have killed too many. However, it isn’t enough simply to talk about the problem. We must act now before it is too late to do anything about it. Join us now. Save the Earth. This is too important to ignore 1. The seas and rivers are polluted now 2. Smoke is harmful to human health 3. We have planted many trees recently 4. Save the Earth is an unimportant problem 5. What is the result of cutting down so many trees? A. There are numerous of forests all over the world B. Farmers of Africa have vast areas to grow food C. Wild animals are threatened with extinction D. In certain countries in Asia, there is a lot of rice 6. What do we have to do before the problem becomes more serious? A. We must save the Earth immediately B. We should kill more tiger in India C. Simply talk about the problem is enough D. We must continue destroying the Earth Part 2.
