Passage 1

It has become an American tradition that those who attain great wealth return some of it to the public through philanthropy An early example of this was the generosity of Amos Lawrence of Massachusetts, a wealthy merchant, who in the 1830's and afterwards contributed much money for famine relief in Ireland He also donated generously to educational and other humanitarian

causes

In the early years of the twentieth century several men who had amassed vast fortunes likewise became great philanthropists Andrew Carnegie, an exceptionally energetic man, who had

begun working twelve hours a day when he was only fourteen years old, became one of the

world's richest men by pioneering in the steel industry After his retirement in 1990 he devoted his time and his wealth to the establishment of free public libraries He also set up foundations for medical research and for world peace Carnegie's belief, as he expressed it in an essay,

was that the wealthy person must 'consider all surplus revenues which come to him simply as trust funds' which he 'is strictly bound as a matter of duty to administer in the manner best

calculated to produce the most beneficial results for the community - the man of wealth thus

becoming the mere trustee and agent for his poorer brethren

John D Rockefeller, who also began as a poor boy, became fabulously rich through oil

refineries and other enterprises In his old age, in the early 1900's, he began to donate millions for beneficial undertakings The various Rockefeller foundations support research as well as

humanitarian causes in the United States and in other parts of the world Rockefeller funds are now fighting hunger through the so-called 'green revolution,' whereby new agricultural

techniques have greatly multiplied the yield of food-crops in Mexico, India, Pakistan, and part of Africa

A You must be very rich and know how to keep it

B You are very rich and donate your money to humanitarian causes

V Read the text below and decide which answer (A, B, C or D) best fits each space

In many schools in the world today children of all ages are encouraged, and (1) forced in some cases, to take part in team sports The (2) philosophy is that team sports are not

only good for the body but also that they build a child's character This may well be true, but is the suggestion that team sports are the best way of developing a child's character actually true? Participation in a team sport, of course, usually involves a lot of (3) training Before

important events children may have to train very hard in order to be (4) and physically fit

for the 'big day' Without doubt, such rigorous training demands dedication and self-sacrifice on the part of the child However, there are other activities which also involve a high degree of (5) Not to mention, non-team sports such as tennis or even activities like chess require equal preparation and discipline

Team sports are also considered to be character-building, in that they encourage co-operation between individual team members (6) , the success or the failure of the team depends not

children

Teachers frequently (8) that team sports are about winning They enhance the

'competitive spirit’ of the boys and girls who take part It (9) that non-team sports do the

same Whether this is character-building or not, however, is open to question So many of the

problems we face in society nowadays are the direct result of the 'me-first' attitude found in so

many people Shouldn't schools aim to teach children that there is much more to life than

winning and being first?

In conclusion, clearly team sports are one way of developing children's characters, but it would

be wrong to consider them to be the best way (10) , we should encourage children to

develop their characters and personalities in ways they themselves feel are best

1 A in need B indeed C in the fact D in case

euphorbia farms could provide about 10 percent (8) the petroleum needs in the
