Each nation has many people who voluntarily take care of others. For example, many high school
and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals,
orphanages or homes for the aged. They read books to the people in these places. Sometimes the
students just visit them, play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers work in the homes of sick or old people. They clean up their houses, do
their shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers, there is a voluntary
organization called Big Brothers. College students take these boys to baseball games and help them
to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
Some high school students take part in helping disadvantaged or handicapped children. They give
care and comfort to them and help them to overcome their difficulties. Young college and university
students participate in helping the people who have suffered badly in wars or natural disasters.
During summer vacations, they volunteer to work in remote or mountainous areas to provide
education for children.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games. Some of these clubs
organise short trips to the mountains, beaches or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a

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.
Online shopping can certainly be an awesome way to go. No lines, no traffic, no crowds of people.
But is online shopping safer?
Experts says that online consumers may now be better protected than traditional shoppers,
especially if they follow a few useful tips. First of all, make sure that you are on the site of a real
company. Some thieves have created websites that look like the real one just to get your
information and money. The best way to check if a site is real is to look for the “s”, which stands
for “secure”, in the “https” part of the website address bar. Another indication of a safe website is a
special icon in the shape of a padlock which you can find on the browser bar. And it is better to
shop with online companies that you know and trust.
Secondly, make sure your computer has a firewall and up-to-date antivirus software. Updating your
software is one of the easiest things you can do to stop hackers from attacking your system and
protect your personal information. Moreover, beware of links to deals that are too good to be true
on social networking sites. If you have doubts, contact the sellers directly. Finally, keep the details
of your purchase in a safe place. Save or print the receipt, your order confirmation number and the
tracking number. If you have a problem with the order, this information will help you solve the
problem quickly.
