Mandatory volunteering made many members of Maryland high school class of 1997 rumble with
indignation. They didn’t like a new requirement that made them take part in the school’s community service
program.
Future seniors, however, probably won't be as resistant now that the program has been broken in. Some,
like John Maloney, already have completed their required hours of approved community service. The Bowie High
School sophomore earned his hours in eighth grade by volunteering two nights a week at the Larkin-Chase Nursing
and Restorative Center in Bowie. He played shuffleboard, cards, and other games with the senior citizens. He also
helped plan parties for them and visited their rooms to keep them company. That experience inspired him to
continue volunteering in the community.
John, 15, is not finished volunteering. Once a week he videotapes animals at the Prince George County
animal shelter in Forestville. His footage is shown on the Bowie public access television channel in hopes of finding
homes for the animals. "Volunteering is better than just sitting around," says John, "and I like animals; I don't want
to see them put to sleep. "
He's not the only volunteer in his family. His sister, Melissa, an eighth grader, has completed her hours also
volunteering at Larkin-Chase. "It is a good idea to have kids go out into the community, but it's frustrating to have
to write essays about the work," she said. "It makes you feel like you're doing it for the requirement and not for
yourself." The high school's service learning office, run by Beth Ansley, provides information on organizations
seeking volunteers so that students will have an easier time fulfilling their hours. "It's ridiculous that people are
opposing the requirements," said Amy Rouse, who this summer has worked at the Ronald McDonald House and
has helped to rebuild a church in Clinton. "So many people won't do the service unless it's mandatory," Rouse
said, "but once they start doing it, they'll really like it and hopefully it will become a part of their lives - like it has
become a part of mine."
Question 29: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. Advantages of mandatory volunteering programs for students
B. An obligatory volunteer program at high school in Maryland
C. Students of 1997’s attitudes towards obligatory volunteering
D. Volunteering at a variety of organizations in Maryland in USA

B. She no longer volunteers at Larkin-Chase as she hates writing essays.
C. She helps out at Larkin-Chase because it is a requirement of her course.

At home in Venice
by Francesco da Mosto
I was born in Venice, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Italy, and studied architecture at university
here. Though I have also spent time away, I have always come back because it’s my home.
In Venice, there are no roads, only canals, so you have to get around on foot or by boat. I live on a canal in the
Rialto area in a house that was built in 1588 for the Muti family, who were merchants in the silk trade. In the mid-
eighteenth century, it was home to the Vezzi family, who made things like plates and bowls in fine china and
became rich sending these around the world. These merchants’ houses in Venice are like palaces. Their owners
had to have space to show off their goods, but the building also had to be an office, a factory, a store and a home.
My house came into our family in 1919, when it was bought by my grandfather. He died before I was born but he
was the director of a museum where I often do research on old documents. On some of these, I’ve seen notes in
his handwriting, so, in a strange way, I met him through these documents.
Sadly, the population of Venice has dropped from 120,000 in the 1950s to about 60,000 now. This doesn’t include
the thousands of tourists who come to visit. I welcome the tourists but unless something is done to stop everyday
shops like bakeries and chemists from disappearing, the city will die. I want people who love the city to come
here to live and work and give Venice back a life that is not just about tourism.
Question 34. What does the word “china” in the passage refers to?
A. white clay B. the place where plates and bowls are made
C. a country D. the author hometown’s name
Question 35. What is the writer’s main reason for writing this text?
A. to persuade more tourists to visit his city B. to give readers the history of his home town
C. to say what he feels about his birthplace D. to describe some important moments in his life
Question 36. What might the writer say about his house?
A. The house was made bigger in the mid-eighteenth century because the owner wanted it to look like a
palace.
B. I have never lived in anywhere else apart from the Rialto area of Venice.
C. My house is on a canal in Venice and my family, starting with my grandfather, have lived there since 1919.
D. We don’t know who lived in the house before 1588 but it was owned by merchants from then until the
eighteenth century.
Question 37. What can be inferred about the population of Venice since 1950s?
A. It has decreased by half. B. It has increased twofold.
C. It has stayed the same. D. It has increased a little bit.
Question 38. The family who first owned the writer’s home _________
A. were skilled architects. B. used to buy and sell silk.
4
G10 REVIEW FOR THE FINAL TEST 2
C. helped to build the canals. D. produced plates and bowls.
Question 39. What is the writer’s attitude to Venice today?
A. He thinks local businesses should be encouraged to stay.
B. He believes the city would benefit from having fewer inhabitants.
C. He hopes tourists will stop visiting the city.
D. He would like people to get jobs working with tourists.
Question 40. What does the writer say about his grandfather?
A. His grandfather taught him how to study documents.
B. He wasn’t able to get to know his grandfather personally.
C. His grandfather turned his home into a museum.
D. He didn’t find his grandfather’s handwriting easy to read.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions
Certain birds are, more often than not, considered bad luck, or even a sign of impending death. For
example, all over the world, both crows and ravens have some connection to war and death. In early times, crows
and ravens were thought to accompany the gods of war, or be signs of the gods’ approaching arrival. This idea
later changed. Crows in particular were thought to be harbingers of ill fortune or, in some cases, guides to the
afterlife. Woe be it to the person who saw a single crow or raven flying overhead, for this was most certainly a
portent of death in the near future.
Interestingly, though potentially bad luck for people individually, the raven is considered to be good luck
for the crown of England. So much so, in fact, that a “raven master” is, even today, an actual government position
in London. He takes care of the ravens there and also clips their wings, ensuring that these birds can never fly far
from the seat of the British government. This way, the kingdom will never fall to ill fortune.
Another bird that is thought to play a part in forecasting the fortunes of people is the swallow. Depending
on how and when it is seen, the swallow can be a harbinger of either good or ill fortune. Perhaps inspired by the
swallow's red-brown breast, Christian people initially related the swallow to the death of Jesus Christ. Thus, people
who saw a swallow fly through their house considered it a portent of death. Later, however, farmers began to
consider swallows signs of good fortune. Any barn that has swallows living in it is sure to be blessed in the following
year. Farmers also have to beware of killing a swallow; that would be certain to end any good luck they might have
had.
Though many people think these superstitions are old wives’ tales, there is actually some evidence to
support them. For example, crows and ravens, being scavengers, appear at the aftermath of battles. Thus, large
numbers of crows and ravens could be good indications of war in an area. As well, swallows feed on insects that
can cause infections in cattle. Thus, a farmer who has many swallows in his barn may actually have healthier
animals on his farm. Therefore, the next time you feel inclined to laugh at an old wives’ tale, maybe you had better
find out if there is any truth to it first!
