Passage 1.

In a world 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 transform 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 poverty.

Even Bangladesh has dramatically cut the death toll from childhood diarrhea.

But even when such technologies exist, the depressing fact is that we can't make them cheap enough for those who most need them.

Solar panels, batteries and light 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 started connecting schools to the internet via radio links.

These people were fortunate in being able to afford solar panels, radios and old computers.

How much bigger would the impact be if these things were made and priced specifically for poor people?

Multinationals must become part of the solution, because while they own around 60% 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 at different prices around the world to suit which people can afford.

Alternatively, they could pay a percentage of their profit towards research and development for the poor.

Passage 2 Help Your Community The students at Nguyen Van Troy School are now preparing Christmas gifts for students with disabilities in Ho Chi Minh City.

We have asked three energetic class monitors about how they plan to make this Christmas unforgettable for their friends with disabilities.

Here are their answers.

We believe that students with disabilities should be offered support to do the things they like, said Win Mylene, the monitor of class 11A after their visit to a special school, Lean made friends with some students with reading disabilities.

She realized that they enjoy reading as much as she does.

So, she has decided to record popular books for these students.

I hope they'll enjoy listening to these talking books over the Christmas holidays, said Lean enthusiastically.

A gift for everyone, is the campaign slogan of class 11B, led by Tran Nam.

We've agreed to involve disabled students in our Santa Claus activities for children in the neighborhood.

Even if some of them have mobility impairments, they can still dress up as Santa Claus and help to give gifts to the kids.

Giving makes people happy and useful.

People with a disability can still participate fully in our community's life, said Nam.

We want to make a special Yule log cake.

People have already started donating money so we can buy all the ingredients, said Wah, the monitor of class 11c.

Everyone has a problem, no one is perfect.

With the support of the students from the special school, we think we can create something amazing, Wah added.

Her class wants to make a record-breaking Yule log cake, the longest ever and created by the most students.

On Christmas day, we will invite all the kids in the neighborhood to join our Christmas party and make the longest you will log.

Listening Exercise 1 Listen and write T for Trang, P for Peter, or M for Mary

next to the corresponding information they provide in the passage.

Trang, Peter, and Mary are three energetic volunteers at Green Heart, an organization aiming at helping people with disabilities.

We have interviewed them about unforgettable moments that they had when participating in programs or projects for the disabled.

Here are their responses.

I developed my passion for doing charity after my first trip to a special center for impaired children.

The center takes care of kids with mental and physical disabilities and tries to prepare them for an independent life by the time they reach 18.

At first, I didn't know how I would behave around mentally disabled children, but I went into it with a positive outlook.

Almost instantly, I fell in love with the kids.

They were all so hilarious that just being around them made you feel so happy.

I enjoy every moment playing with them, and I hope I can give them more support.

Peter My group and I are joining a project called Four Leaf Clovers.

We can connect sponsors and benefactors with children who have mobility impairments but are very talented so that they can succeed later in their lives.

We also bring those children hope by organizing a number of events where they can integrate into the community and gain confidence to show off their talents.

This mid-autumn festival, some international volunteers and I organized a meaningful festival for disabled children at Phuk Tu Center.

We made mooncakes, gave children star lanterns and cute masks and also held a colorful parade that night.

We couldn't help laughing when we saw them shouting aloud happily.

Mary Well, my experience at Centers for Children with Impairments is one of the most precious memories in my life.

I enjoy teaching those children English and feel pleased to hear them sing English songs along with me.

Those Those little angels are so wonderful that every time I'm down, I think of them to lift my spirits.

I still remember a gorgeous girl that I met at Ba V Orphanage.

Though she is visually impaired, she is determined to become an English teacher who can help other people with impairments like her.

She makes great attempts to study English time after time.

And finally, her endeavor bears fruit.

She is now teaching English at Ba V Orphanage.

What makes her work admirable is that she always tries to inspire children and get them involved in her fun and creative learning activities.

Exercise 2 Listen and complete the text.

In the United States, volunteering is viewed as a good way to give children a sense of community, responsibility, and to bring the family together.

Volunteerism is growing across the United States today because people are trying to put more emphasis on family togetherness, and they are looking for ways to help young people have a feeling of hope and satisfaction.

It is believed that volunteering helps children discover their talents, develop their skills, and learn about cooperation and problem solving.

Moreover, family volunteering has some advantages.

It benefits the community that is served.

It benefits the family for serving together.

And it benefits each individual in the family.
