Since 1877, the Fresh Air Fund has helped poor children from New York City spend summers in the country. Each year, over ten thousand children, ages 6 to 18, participate in the program. Some stay at a camp; others live with a host family. The fund pays for all expenses.
The camps are for 8-to-15-year-olds. At camp, children can learn about the stars, see deer and cows and other animals, and go hiking, fishing, and of course, swimming. From participating in the camp, the children definitely learn responsibility by helping out with chores like making beds and waiting on tables.

V. Reading Comprehension: (2.5 pts)
V.1. Read the passage, and decide whether the statements that follow are True or False: (1.0 pt)
|
Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go into their offices, factories or schools everyday by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home later in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then in the country, one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spends more time on trains and buses, one can sleep well at night and during weekends. Also, in summer evenings, one can enjoy fresh and clean air of the country.

SAVE THE WORLD
We are all slowly destroying the earth. The seas and rivers are too dirty to swim in. There is so much smoke in the air that it is unhealthy to live in many of the world's cities. We have cut down so many trees that there are now vast areas of wasteland all over the world. As a result, farmers in parts of Africa can not grow enough to eat. In certain countries in Asia there is too little rice. Moreover, we do not take enough care of the countryside. Wild animals are quickly disappearing. For instance, tigers are rare in India now because we have killed too many for them to survive. However, it isn't enough simply to talk about the problem. We must act now before it’s too late to do anything about it. Join us now. Save the earth. This is too important to ignore.

V. Reading Comprehension: (2.5 pts)
V.1. Read the passage, and decide whether the statements that follow are True or False: (1 pt.)
When you say you know a word or phrase, you could mean one of two things. First, you could mean that if someone says the word to you, you know what it means. This is passive knowledge. The second way of knowing is that you can recall and use that vocabulary appropriately. This is active knowledge. This isn’t anything to do with active or passive voice in grammar. It’s about how you store your memory of a word for later use, and there’s a large, important difference. With passive vocabulary, you can only listen and understand. In other words, you are being made to recall it. Active vocabulary, on the other hand, is vocabulary that you can recall and use at will when the situation requires it. You are choosing to use the word and actively retrieving it from memory.

1. TRUE
