A YEAR WITH OVERSEAS VOLUNTEERS
I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an isolated
village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N'Djamena. Coming from' a rich country, I got quite a shock as
conditions were much harder than I had expected. But after a few days I soon got used to living there. The people
were always very friendly and helpful, and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the countryside was.
One of my jobs was to supply the village with water. The well was a long walk away. And the women used to
spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards. So I contacted organization and
arranged to have some pipes delivered. We built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it worked first time. It wasn't
perfect - there were a few leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers, who had never had running water
before. And not only did we have running water, but in the evenings it was hot, because the pipe had been lying
in the sun all day. All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience. Although it was not well-paid, it
was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone who was considering working for a charity.

II.Read the passage and choose the best answer for each sentence below
Along with jogging and swimming, cycling is one of the best all-round forms of exercise. It can help to
increase your strength and energy, giving you more efficient muscles and stronger heart. But increasing your
strength is not the only advantage of cycling. Because you’re not carrying the weight of your body on your feet,
it’s a good form of exercise for people with painful feet or backs. However, with all forms of exercise it’s
important to start slowly and build up gently. Doing too much and too quickly can damage muscles that aren’t
used to working. If you have any doubts about taking up cycling for health reasons, talk to your doctor and ask
his/her advice.
Ideally, you should be cycling at least two or three times a week. For the exercise to be doing you good,
you should get a little out of breath. Don’t worry that if you begin to lose your breath, it could be dangerous and
there must be something wrong with your heart. This is simply not true; shortness of breath shows that the
exercise is having the right effect. However, if you find you are in pain then you should stop and take a rest.
29. According to the writer, it is best to go cycling
A. once a week B. at least two or three times a month
C. at least two or three times a week D. every day
30. All forms of exercise must be started
A. quickly B. gradually C. strenuously D. violently
31. People with back problems might go cycling because
A. it enables them to carry the weight of their body on their feet C. it helps to make their backs become stronger
B. it helps them to relieve their backache D. it does not make them carry the weight of their body on their feet
32. Which of the following is NOT included in the advantages of cycling?
