Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the following questions.
At the supermarket these days, there is often a selection or aisle that sells just organic products. There are also many new
stores opening up that specialize just in organic fruits and vegetables. Organic food is becoming more and more popular
these days due to concerns about the safety of conventionally grown food. Organically grown produce, though, is often
more expensive to buy. Consumers need to understand why something is labeled “organic” in order to make the best
choices when purchasing food for themselves and their families.
Several factors contribute to this higher price. Though there are some small differences, government agencies across the
world agree on what qualifies a product as organic: such products must be grown without chemical fertilizers or pesticides.
Also, livestock, such as cows, pigs and chickens, must not be injected with artificial growth hormones or antibiotics.
These standards result in food that is generally healthier and tastier. Without harsh pesticides and chemical fertilizers,
crop plants produce more antioxidants and other beneficial nutrients. The farmers, their families, and their communities
also benefit from a cleaner and safer environment. Fertilizer runoff is a major environmental problem and affects places
far away from farms. Their mass production also contributes to global warming. Organic production techniques encourage
environment stewardship for the Earth and long-term agricultural sustainability.
Those standards ensure a safe and nutritious supply of food from organic farms. However, organic farming reduces crop
yields per farm while increasing the labor required. As a result, organic food is generally more expensive. The price
difference may be offset slightly in the future, as consumers ask for more organically grown produce and more suppliers
jump into the market to fill that demand. Many people are willing to pay that extra cost for organic food, given the health
and environmental benefits.

Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the following questions.
On March 1, 1961, President John F. Kennedy issued an order creating the Peace Corps. Its mission was to promote world
peace and friendship by providing qualified volunteers to interested countries. Today it sends an average of 6,000 U.S.
citizens abroad each year.
Volunteers live at a local level in their host countries. They are paid in local currency. Each month they receive a small
sum of money that covers basic living expenses, and varies with the local economy. For example, volunteers in Micronesia
make the equivalent of $300 per month, while those in Turkmenistan make $75. Most volunteers live with host families.
This is a great chance to learn the language and the culture.
For each month that they spend overseas, volunteers receive a sum of about $200. This money helps them to get back on
their feet in the United States.
Serving countries all over the world, the Peace Corps lives up to its promise as “the toughest job you’ll ever love.”
Volunteers can teach English, share tips on growing food, provide preventive health care. However, the application
process to become a Peace Corps volunteer is very competitive. You must be a U.S. citizen, at least eighteen years old, in
good health, and willing to serve for two years. Nearly all volunteers have a bachelor’s degree in their chosen field, and
about 18 percent have their master’s or doctorate degrees. Knowing a language, especially French and Spanish, helps.
Question 15: What is the purpose of the Peace Corps?
A. To create job opportunities for U.S. citizens. B. To foster international solidarity.
C. To offer educational opportunities for U.S. citizens. D. To provide funding for developing countries.
Question 16: The word “those” in paragraph 2 refers to ________.
A. salaries B. volunteers C. economies D. families
Question 17: Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A. All volunteers live with host families.
B. The monthly allowance that Peace Corps volunteers receive varies according to the local economy.
C. Peace Corps volunteers cannot make ends meet when they spend overseas.
D. It’s very easy to apply to join the Peace Corps.

A. To have a master's degree. B. To be more than eighteen years old.
