2) Read the passage and choose the best answer:
Hernando Guanlao loves books, but unlike most bookworms, Hernando has got so many that they
spill out where his bookcases and shelves line the road. The reason is that Hernando Guanlao has
turned his home in Manila, the Philippines, into his very own public library. In this library for the
poor, the only rule is that there are no rules!
The library is open all day and all night, seven days a week. Any passer-by who wants a book just
walks up and takes whatever he or she wants. It's all free, they don't need a library card and there are
no late fees if they don't return the books within two weeks. In fact, there is no pressure to return
them at all! You might think that there would be fewer and fewer books each day, but, amazingly
after starting with around a hundred books, Hernando now has got a collection of between two and
three thousand - his readers are actually adding their own books to his library!
Hernado launched his “Reading Club 2000” over a decade to honour his parents, who had recently
died. His idea was to encourage reading and create a love of learning. So one day, he placed a small
collection of battered books at the side of the road. Passers-by didn't know what to make of it in the
beginning. What were all these books doing there?. Were there for sale? They soon got the idea,
though, and the library now has a steady stream of booklovers, watched over by a proud Hernando.
Hernando is so dedicated to the idea of books for everyone that you can order one and when he gets
it, he'll even bring it to your house on his “book bike”. In the future, he's going to take his collection
out on the book bike to the poor villages that either haven't heard of him or can't reach him. In the
country where there aren't that many libraries, and you may have to pay to borrow a book, Hernando
is a true hero. As Hernando himself says, “You are wasting these books if you put them in a
cupboard or a box. A book should be used and reused. It has a life. It has a message”.
Câu 36: Hernando has books outside his house because ______________
A. it used to be a public library.
B. he doesn't have enough space inside.
C. people can easily see them.
D. the street is wide.
Câu 37: How did the public react to his Reading Club 2000 at first?

A. They were against the idea.
C. They were very excited.
B. They were afraid to borrow the books
D. They were unable to think what is happening.
Câu 38: What is Hernando's attitude towards books?
A. People should keep them.
B. They should be recycled.
C. They were worth reading.
D. They’d be passed on from one reader to another.
Câu 39: The word “dedicated” means ______________
A. committed.
B. complicated.
C. delivered.
D. contributed
Câu 40: What is the purpose of the text?
A. to persuade people to read more.
B. to encourage people to read more.
C. to tell the story of one man's idea.
D. to explain how books can help the poor.
