Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 26 to 30.
I was with Overseas Volunteers (OV) for a year after leaving university, and I was sent to an isolated
village in Chad, about 500 km from the capital N'Djamena. Coming from a rich country, I got quite a shock
as conditions were much harder than I had expected. But after a few days I soon got used to living there.
The people were always very friendly and helpful, and soon I began to appreciate how beautiful the
countryside was.
One of my jobs was to supply the village with water. The well was a long walk away. And the women used
to spend a long time every day carrying heavy pots backwards and forwards. So I contacted organization
and arranged to have some pipes delivered. We built a simple pipeline and a pump, and it worked first time.
It wasn't perfect - there were a few leaks, but it made a great difference to the villagers, who had never had
running water before. And not only did we have running water, but in the evenings it was hot, because the
pipe had been lying in the sun all day. All in all, I think my time with OV was a good experience. Although
it was not well-paid, it was well worth doing, and I would recommend it to anyone who was considering
working for a charity.
Question 26.: How did the author feel when he arrived in the village?
A. impressed
B. shocked
C. depressed

D. disappointed
Question 27.: The author .........
A. has been working for OV for a year B. used to be a volunteer working in a remote village
C. was born in a rich family
D. is living in the capital N'Djamena

Question 28.: The word 'It' in line 10 refers to .........
A. running water
B. the pipeline
C. the supply of water
D. the pump
Question 29.: Which of the following is not true?
A. solar energy was used to heat water.
B. The villagers used to live in conditions without running water.
C. It took a lot of time to take water home from the well.
D. A pipeline was built to carry clean water to homes
Question 30. The topic of this passage is...........
A. volunteer work
B. World population
C. friendship among people D. a party.
