Trang 4Exercise 3: There is one incorrect word in terms of spelling, grammar or usage in each line of the following passage Indicate and correct it.
Australia was settled by Europeans in 1788, mainly to home
criminals, but with a little independent farmers and businessmen The
settlements were not wealthy, and there was little help available to
them in need: the poor, the sick, the unemploy, and the aged To begin
with, what little help was availably came in the form of charity:
donations of money, acommodation or medical treatment to selected
needy A second approach that began to emerge in the last nineteenth
century was that of “universalism” It stresses that all people in
society should be entitle to certain benefits-up to a minimum level
and across a restricted range of services This approach was eventually used
to arguing for the introduction of a pension for the aged poor

III READING
Exercise 1: Questions 1 – 13
China’s ‘violent philanthropist’ gives away fresh air.
Even through the thick Beijing smog, it is impossible to mistake the ebullient figure shaking hands, signing autographs and barking at startled passersby: “Come on, two cans for each one – free fresh air Open it and drink it and breathe it! It keeps you fresh the whole day!”
It is the kind of offer that has made Chen Guangbiao a household name in China: giving away thousands of tins of air to raise awareness of China’s pollution “If we don’t act in the next 10 years, our descendants will have to carry oxygen tanks and wear masks all the time,” he said at the publicity event in Beijing this month
Chen, 44, is a multimillionaire entrepreneur who bills himself as the country’s number one philanthropist and environmentalist In January, he lay under a sheet of wood and steel while two cars drove over him, to demonstrate that the world would be better without cars In another comment on the drawbacks of motoring he smashed up a Mercedes Benz car Recently
he put an advert in the New York Times proclaiming the disputed Diaoyu Islands – currently at the heart of the territorial row with Japan – to be Chinese, and announced he was giving new cars to drivers whose vehicles were destroyed in anti-Japanese protests – while simultaneously promoting a cycling initiative He also plans to give away $240,000 to young entrepreneurs in the next weeks
But he is best known for his personal deliveries to the victims of natural disasters He arrived
in Sichuan with a fleet of heavy machinery after the earthquake in 2008 When the tsunami struck Japan, he flew over with cash and goods He has apparently an unsinkable self-belief “I want to record the name of Chen Guangbiao in Chinese history,” he said
His party trick is to lift a bike using his teeth and spin it around in the air It is, says Chen, all down to kung fu training at the famous Shaolin temple Chen grew up in the
Trang 5countryside near Nanjing, in such poverty that two of his siblings starved to death He earned his first cash – around 60 cents – carrying water from a well to villagers one summer, and used some of the money to help pay for a neighbour’s schooling In recognition of his good deed, a teacher pasted a red star on his face “I ran around the classes … Every student wanted
to learn from me and do good things,” he explained
He made his fortune recycling materials from demolished buildings and has vowed to give it all away before his death The Hurun rich list estimated his worth at $740m last year Already, he says, he has made donations worth $278m Others rank far ahead of him in independent lists of charitable donors and sceptics say it is hard to assess the real value of his gifts since they are often in kind He counters that other philanthropists give to charities in the sectors they work in, with the hope of commercial returns
Chen calls his high-profile tactics “violent philanthropy” He says: “My individual power is limited I want to use my high-profile way to wake people up to take action together
to do good things I can only awake them with my performance art and creativity.” Admirers point out that most millionaires are doing little for their fellows And Chen’s stunts have, as he predicted, got people talking about philanthropy and the environment “We need these kinds of people to tell us that if you want to help people you need to take responsibility,” says Wang Lanjun, pausing to have her photo taken with him “He’s great!” enthused another passing pedestrian “He said I’m great,” Chen points out “You see? Ordinary people love me.”
Questions 1 – 5: Read the text and decide whether the statements are True (T) or False (F).
1 Chen Guangbiao has given out free oxygen masks to passersby in Beijing
