Each nation has many good people who take care of others. For example, some of high school and college students in the United States often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages or home for the elderly. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems. Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up, or repair their houses, or the shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers. Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go and play games or learn crafts.

Read the passage carefully, then choose the correct answers.
The latest addiction to trap thousands of people is the Internet, which has been blamed for broken relationships, job losses, financial ruin, and even suicide. Psychologists now recognize Internet Addiction Syndrome (IAS) as a new illness that could cause serious problems and ruin many lives.
IAS is similar to other problems like gambling, smoking and drinking: addicts have dreams about the Internet; they need to use it as the first thing in the morning; they lie to their parents and partners about how much time they spent online; they wish they could cut down, but are unable to do so. A recent study found that many users spend up to 40 hours a week on the Internet. Some of the addicts are teenagers who are already hooked on computer games and who find it very difficult to resist the games on the Internet.

They have to be fast
Firemen, who are well- trained in special courses, have to work hard and really fast. When the fire bell rings, they have to get ready quickly, jump up, get on their truck, and get to the fire as fast as they can. As soon as the truck stops, the firemen divide into groups as their plan. Some connect the hose (vòi phun nước), some others put up the ladders, others get ready to run up the ladders with hoses and axes,…. Each fireman has to be on his own duty, and each has to be done fast. Besides (ngoài việc) putting out the fire, they have to help people who are burned or hurt. They must know how to help people who are overcome by smoke (bị ngất vì khói). They must know how to do this by giving them help in breathing. Fast work by firemen has not only saved many lives but also many thousands of dollars.
