correct answer to each of the questions
Mandatory volunteering made many members of Maryland high school class of 1997 rumble
with indignation. They didn’t like a new requirement that made them take part in the school’s
community service program.
Future seniors, however, probably won't be as resistant now that the program has been broken
in. Some, like John Maloney, already have completed their required hours of approved community
service. The Bowie High School sophomore earned his hours in eighth grade by volunteering two
nights a week at the Larkin-Chase Nursing and Restorative Center in Bowie. He played shuffleboard,
cards, and other games with the senior citizens. He also helped plan parties for them and visited their
rooms to keep them company. That experience inspired him to continue volunteering in the
community.
John, 15, is not finished volunteering. Once a week he videotapes animals at the Prince George
County animal shelter in Forestville. His footage is shown on the Bowie public access television
channel in hopes of finding homes for the animals. "Volunteering is better than just sitting around,"
says John, "and I like animals; I don't want to see them put to sleep. "
He's not the only volunteer in his family. His sister, Melissa, an eighth grader, has completed her
hours also volunteering at Larkin-Chase. "It is a good idea to have kids go out into the community, but
it's frustrating to have to write essays about the work," she said. "It makes you feel like you're doing it
for the requirement and not for yourself." The high school's service learning office, run by Beth Ansley,
provides information on organizations seeking volunteers so that students will have an easier time
fulfilling their hours. "It's ridiculous that people are opposing the requirements," said Amy Rouse, who
this summer has worked at the Ronald McDonald House and has helped to rebuild a church in
Clinton. "So many people won't do the service unless it's mandatory," Rouse said, "but once they start
doing it, they'll really like it and hopefully it will become a part of their lives - like it has become a part
of mine."
Question 29: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Advantages of mandatory volunteering programs for students

D. Volunteering at a variety of organizations in Maryland in USA

B. She no longer volunteers at Larkin-Chase as she hates writing essays.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct answer to each of the questions
How long will a baby born today live? 100 years? 120 years? Scientists are studying genes that
could mean long life for us all.
There are already many, many people who have passed the landmark age of 100. In fact, there
are now so many healthy, elderly people that there’s a name for them: the wellderly. These are people
over the age of eighty who have no major illnesses, such as high blood pressure, heart disease or
diabetes.
There are many scientific studies of communities where healthy old age is typical. These
include places like Calabria in southern Italy and the island of Okinawa in Japan. In Calabria, the
small village of Molochio has about 2,000 inhabitants. And of these, there are at least eight people
over a hundred years old. When researchers ask people like this the secret of their long life, the answer
is almost always about food and is almost always the same: ‘I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables.’ ‘I eat
a little bit of everything.’ ‘I neither smoke nor drink.’
In the past, scientists looked at things such as diet and lifestyle for an explanation of long life,
these days they are also looking at genetics. Researcher Eric Topol says that there must be genes that
explain why people are protected from the effects of aging process. The new research into long life
did scrutinize groups of people who have a genetic connection. One interesting group lives in Ecuador.
In one area of the country there are a number of people with the same genetic condition. It’s called
Laron syndrome. These people don’t grow very tall – just over one metre. But Laron syndrome also
give them protection against cancer and diabetes. As a result, they live longer than other people in
their families. Meanwhile, on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, there’s another group of long-lived men,
Japanese-Americans. They have a similar gene to the Laron syndrome group.
Back in Calabria, researchers constructed the family trees of the 100-year-old people. They
looked at family information from the 19th century to today. It is concluded that there are genetic
factors that give health benefits to the men. This is a surprising result because generally in Europe,
women live longer than men. So what really makes people live longer? It seems likely that it is an
interaction of genes, the environment and probably a third factor – luck.
Question 34: Which of the following is NOT true about the Laron syndrome?
A. This syndrome is a health problem for groups of people in Ecuador and Hawaii.
B. It is the result of a genetic condition.
C. People diagnosed with this syndrome are prone to diabetes.
