Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Nearly eight hundred million people in this world cannot read or write,most of them in developing countries.Two-thirds are women and girls. John Wood who started the Room to Read campaign ,has opened1650 schools and 15000 libraries in some of the world's poorest communities .He said that from the beginning,Room to Read's goal was to reach 10 million children around the world in the poorest countries. In 1998,on a three-week vacation journey in Nepal,Wood met a local headmaster who invited him to visit his school in a far mountain village.The experience changed Wood's life. "This headmaster had 450 students at the school,but he didn't have any books," Wood said."He had a library that was empty." Wood promised to fill the library shelves and returned to the village one year later with some of his friends with 3000 books.And that was just the start.Later,Wood used some of his personal money to start Room to Read. He believes that world change begins with educated children.Today,the programme can be found in10 countries across Asia and Africa. Wood believes the key to the program's success is local support.While Room to Read gives away money and provides books,communities offer land and parents help build the school.Agnes,a Room to Read teacher in Zambia who also runs the library,is proud to say the literacy' at her school has improved. Room to Read's biggest challenge is the huge need. Hundreds of communities have asked for literacy prograrnmes.One way of Room to Read's success is that it will achieve Wood's goal of reaching 10 million kids by 2015,five years earlier than it is planned. Question: The purpose of the Room to Read campaign is to _ . - ask parents to read together with their children - help poor children to learn to read and write - tell more people the importance of reading - help 10 million children to go to college

Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: Once there were two crows whose opinions were always opposite. One day, one of the crows said to the other, " You should realize, of course, that I can fly much higher than you." " Don't be ridiculous ." the other crow said. " Everyone knows that I can fly much higher than you." "No, you can't" the first crow said. "Yes, I can" the second crow replied, and the argument went on and on.

Q: Read the following article and select the best answer. Article: American and British people use different greetings. In the USA the commonest greeting is "Hi". In Britain it is "Hello!" or "How are you?" "Hi!" is creeping into British, too. When they are introduced to someone, the Americans say, "Glad to know you. " The British say, "How do you do?" or "Pleased to meet you. " When Americans say "Good-bye", they nearly always add, "Have a good day. " or "Have a good trip. " etc. to friends and strangers alike. Britons are already beginning to use "Have a good day. " The British usually use "got" in the sense of "have". The Americans hardly ever do. AmE: Do you have a car, room, etc. ? Yes, I do. BrE: Have you got a car, room, etc. ? Yes, I have. There are a number of differences between American and British English in the spelling of words, e. g. check(US)/cheque(UK). Many American words ending in "or", e. g. honor, labor are spelt in British English with an "our," e. g. honour, labour. Many verbs in American English with "ize" or "izing" forms, e. g. organize, realizing are spelt in BrE with "ise" or "ising", e. g. organise, realising. In American English, "practice" is used both for the verb and noun. In BrE, the verb is spelt "practise", and the noun "practice. " In AmE, one writes "traveler," while in BrE, one writes "traveller". It was once _ that British and American English would become separate languages finally. But the opposite has happened. The links between the two countries are so strong that linguistically ,and probably culturally too, they are closer together than ever before. AmE---- American English BrE----British English Question: The Americans hardly say " _ " - Good-bye. Have a good day! - Glad to know you! - Hi! - Have you got a car?
