 In a word where 2 billion people live in homes that don’t have light bulbs, technology holds the key to banishing poverty. Even the simplest technologies can tranform lives and save money.
	Vaccines, crops, computers and sources of solar energy can all reduce poverty in developing countries. For example, cheap oral-rehydration therapy developed in Bangladesh has dramatically cut the death toll from childhood diarrhoea.
 But even when such technologies exist, the depressing fact is that we can’t make them ........(18) for those who most need them. Solar panels, batteries and ligh bulbs are still beyond the purse of many, but where they have been installed they change lives. A decent light in the evening gives children more time for homework and extends the productive day for adults.
 Kenya has a thriving solar industry and six years ago Kenyan pioneers also .......(19) connecting schools to the Internet via radio links. These people were fortunate started being able to afford solar panels, radios and old computers. How much bigger would the impact be if these things .......(21) and priced specifically for poor people?
 Multinationals must become part of the solution, because while they own around 60 percent of the world’s technology, they seldom make products for poor customers. Of 1,223 new drugs marketed worldwide from 1975 to 1996, for example, just 13 were for tropical diseases.
 People think those enterprises should do more to provide vital products such as medicines.............(23) different prices around the world to suit what people can afford. Alternatively, they could pay a percentage of their profit towards research and development for .........(25).

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 36 to 41.
 Telecommuting is some form of computer communication between employees’ homes and offices. For employees whose job involve sitting at a terminal or word processor entering data or typing reports, the location of the computer is of no consequence. If the machine can communicate over telephone lines, when the work is completed, employees can dial the office computer and transmit the material to their employers. A recent survey in USA Today estimates that there are approximately 8,7 million telecommuters. But although the numbers are rising annually, the trend does not appear to be as significant as predicted when Business Week published “The Portable Executive” as its cover story a few years ago. Why hasn’t telecommuting become more popular?
 Clearly, change simply takes time. But in addition, there has been active resistance on the part of many managers. These executives claim that supervising the telecommuters in a large work force scattered across the country would be too difficult, or, at least, systems for managing them are not yet developed, thereby complicating the manager’s responsibilities.
 It is also true that employees who are given the option of telecommuting are reluctant to accept the opportunity. Most people feel that they need regular interaction with a group, and many are concerned that they will not have the same consideration for advancement if they are not more visible in the office setting. Some people feel that even when a space in  their homes is set aside as a work area, they never really get away from the office.
Question 36: With which of the following topics is the passage primarily concerned?
A.   The advantages of telecommuting.	B.   A definition of telecommuting.
C.   An overview of telecommuting.	D.   The failure of telecommuting.
Question 37: How many Americans are involved in telecommuting?
A.   More than predicted in Business Week.
B.   More than 8 million.
C.   Fewer than estimated in USA Today.
D.   Fewer than last year.
Question 38: The phrase “of no  consequence” means          .
A.  of no  use              B.  of no  good           C.   unimportant                     D. irrelevant 
Question 39: The author mentions all of the following as concerns of telecommuting, EXCEPT   
A.   the opportunities for advancement.	B.   the different system of supervision.
C.   the lack of interaction with a group.	D.   The work place is in the home.
Question 40: The word “executives” in line 10   refers to          .
A.   telecommuters      B.   managers              C.   employees                        D. most people

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 42 to 50.
Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care. View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider.
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel? Do you want to work with children? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work?” There are no right or wrong answers; only you know what is important to you. Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you.
The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk all day. If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern, and employment in some fields in concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country.
If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission.
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or negative associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors.
Another point to consider is that as you mature, you will likely develop new interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your final one.
