VII. Read the passage and then choose the best answer to each question.
Family types vary in different countries and among different cultures. In Western,
industrialized societies, the nuclear family ranks as the most common family type. It consists of a
father, a mother and their children. But nuclear families exist alongside many other types of
family units. In the single-parent family, for example, a mother or a father heads the family
alone. A blended family is formed when a divorced or widowed parent remarries. As divorce
rates have risen, the number of single-parent and blended families has increased.
In many parts of the world, parents and children live together with other family members
under the same roof. These complex families usually contain several generations of family
members, including grandparents, parents and children. They may also include brothers or sisters
and their families, uncles, aunts and cousins. Even when relatives do not live together, they still
consider themselves members of the same extended family. In Latin America and Hispanic
America cultures, the extended family includes grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins.

WTO
The World Trade Organization (WTO) has 150 member countries. They are looking to
improve trade. Trade means the buying and selling of goods. The WTO provides a place where
these countries can talk about what they need. The goal of the WTO is to make grow by
removing legal barriers between countries.
The WTO helps trade in several ways. First, it asks countries to treat each other equally.
They should not give special trade deals to one country and not to another. Also, these countries
should not try to stop foreign products from any one country. The idea is that goods and services
should be able to cross borders easily. The second way to improve trade is to lower tariffs. These
4
 are special taxes for things bought and sold. The third way to strengthen trade is to make sure
that the rules will stay the same. In order for people t invest their money, they need to feel secure
for the future. The fourth way is to allow greater competition between countries. The central
belief is that competition makes for a stronger economy. The last way to improve trade is to help
countries that are poor. They need help coming up to the level of modern countries. They can be
helped by allowing them extra time to get their systems in order. They can be given priority in
making deals with other countries.
Free and easy trade is the WTOs goal. It supports rich countries and helps poor countries
get ahead. It is one way of improving the lives of more people in the world. It asks countries to
make laws that help this process. Every year, more countries apply to be in the WTO. They see
membership as a good thing.

THE ASIAN UNIVERSITY NETWORK
It is clear that the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, or ASEAN, established in
1967, has achieved remarkable progress in strengthening the ties and promoting cooperation
among countries in Southeast Asia, especially in terms of cultural, economic, and social
collaborations. However, it was not until the Fourth ASEAN Summit in 1992 that cooperation in
the fields of higher education and human resource development became the point of attention of
the ASEAN leaders.
The idea was later developed into The ASEAN University Network (AUN). The Network
was founded in November 1995 with the original number of thirteen universities in ASEAN
member countries. After the enlargement of ASEAN by the ASEAN Charter in 1997 and 1999,
the AUN membership increased to 20 member universities (with the addition of two universities
from Myanmar, three form Laos, Malaysia, and Cambodia, and two fro Indonesia.)
The main objective of the AUN is to strengthen the existing network of cooperation
among universities in ASEAN by promoting collaborative studies and research programs.
Furthermore, the UAN attempts to promote cooperation and solidarity among scientists and
scholars in the region and to develop academic and professional human resources as well as to
produce and disseminate scientific knowledge and information among the universities in the
region.

VI. Read the passage and then choose the best answer to each question.
Man and most animals need a constant supply of water to live. Farmers need water for
their crops. Hydroelectric dams hold back needed water and provide power for homes and
industries.
Trees and grass, and other plant life play an important part in the natural circulation of
water, thus help conserve it. Without plants most water would run off as soon as it falls, taking
away valuable soil. Rapid runoff would cause frequent floods, and leave little water during dry
seasons.
Nature has many ways of conserving and controlling water. But man often upsets the
water balance in his desire t grow more crops. He drains ponds, swamps and wet land. He
ploughs under the natural soil, cuts timber, and dredges and straightens streams. These changes
reduce natural storage of water and speed runoff.
Water can be held on the land by plating vegetation. Forests and grass should be planted
where there are no natural growths. Dams built across rivers help hold back the water. Reservoirs
behind the dams store water during wet seasons for use in dry seasons. Dams help prevent floods
by controlling the flow of water.
