Charity organisations are responsible for most of the help extended to the destitute. Each organisation caters to a different group of people. The Red Cross is a well-known organisation that has centres in countries all over the world. It had its beginnings in a small Italian town in 1859. A fierce battle was taking place then and more than forty thousand people were wounded. The medical services of the army were inadequate. The situation horrified a Swiss businessman who then wrote a book depicting the dreadful situation. His book was the impetus for the setting up of charity organisations. Today, countries emulate the workings of the Red Cross. They carry out fund raising activities to help children who cannot receive an education or victims of natural disasters. Both the young and old contribute willingly to these organisations. In fact, without these charity organisations, millions of people around the world would perish because of poverty or natural disasters. In India, a compassionate woman started PUSS (Palli Unnayan Sevi Samiti). Supported by social workers and teachers, she has helped hundreds of children receive a proper education. Without her help, the literacy rate in India would be much lower than what it is today. Trang 2/4 - Mã đề 659

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 from 38 to 45. Employees in many countries change jobs more often than previous generations of workers. They don't expect to find a job with a company that will take care of them for the rest of their lives. But what is the cause of this trend? Is it a new economy, new ways of doing business, or the employees themselves? A more globalized economy has had an effect on employment. A large number of companies are now international, and one of them may decide that moving its offices from Germany to Poland, for example, is in its best interest. That means employees who live and work in Germany may be asked to relocate their families to a new country or be told that their jobs are simply eliminated. Companies have also responded to economic pressures by restructuring for greater efficiency. This sort of change within a company usually means that unnecessary jobs arc cut, or that fewer employees must do more work. In either case, some employees find themselves looking for new jobs. New technology has also had an impact on workplaces. The increasing use of personal computers has meant fewer jobs for office secretaries, as their former bosses do their own word processing and letter writing, and for travel agents, as more travelers make their own reservations online. Automation, including the use of robotic devices, has replaced workers in clothing factories, post offices, and telephone companies, to name just a few. Besides these economic and technological reasons, today's employees arc also responsible for more frequent job changes. Workers in the past were less likely to leave a company because they were dissatisfied with working conditions or because they didn't get along well with their fellow employees. People today expect to enjoy their work and to get a high degree of personal satisfaction from what they do for a living. Employees may also leave a job because they have learned all they can learn from their current job. Getting a new job means gaining new skills and making new contracts, and these skills and relationships could bring them a step closer to their "dream job", the one that is challenging, emotionally and financially rewarding, and preferably closer to home or their children's school. Finally, companies start up and close down more quickly than they once did. Employees who suspect that their employer is not doing well may decide to start looking for a new position before the company closes its doors. Câu 38: The passage is mainly about . A. the contrast between employers of the past and employers nowadays B. ways in which international companies have caused a loss of jobs C. reasons employees change jobs more frequently than they did in the past D. reasons companies aren't taking care of employees as they once did Câu 39: How has globalization affected employment?
