Part 5 Reading Comprehension (Multiple Choice) (Each item: 1)

Directions:Read the following passages carefully and choose the best answer from the four choices marked A, B, C and D.

Questions 49 to 53 are based on the same passage or dialog.

The cost of helping someone with AIDS drugs is high. Pills cost a lot of money. In Africa, AIDS drugs may cost more than a person makes in one year. At the same time, some American hospitals throw away a lot of pills. One man, named Lee Wildes, didn't think this was fair, so he decided to do something about it.

Wildes lives in a small apartment in San Francisco. Every month, he sends AIDS drugs, which would've been thrown away, to Africa. His act of kindness has not been noticed much in his home country. In Africa though, he is well known. Many people in Africa send him e-mails, asking him for the medicine they need.

Lee was a nurse. He knows that millions of dollars worth of drugs are thrown away. Five years ago he learned he was sick with HIV. Following this discovery, he took a vacation to Africa and saw many people there with AIDS. His visit caused him to begin sending drugs to Africa.

Lee talks with doctors in Africa by mail, e-mail and telephone. With their help, he has gotten the names and addresses for a hundred people in six African countries. He fills the pill orders and he records what pills he sends to them. He even returns to Africa, once a year, to see the people he's

helping.

Giving left over drugs away is against the law, as is giving out drugs without a license. However, it is not likely he'll be taken to court for his kindly efforts. People who have discovered his actions have not caused problems for him. They know that 25 million Africans are sick with AIDS, and they don't want to prevent him from helping.

49. Why aren't more Africans taking AIDS drugs?

A. They don't want to take something that was thrown away. B. They don't think that the drugs work. C. They can't work when taking them. D. They don't have enough money.

50. What does Wildes do every month? A. Mail medicines to Africa. B. Take a trip to Africa.

C. Throw away AIDS drugs. D. Send e-mails to Africans.

51. What did Wildes learn five years ago?

A. Drugs are thrown away. B. He has AIDS.

C. Africans need drugs. D. Hospitals are not fair.

52. With whom does Wildes have phone conversations? A. A San Francisco nurse. B. 100 sick Africans. C. American doctors. D. African doctors.

53. What do people think of Wildes' actions? A. They think he shouldn't break the law. B. They think he is doing good work. C. They think he will be taken to court. D. They think he is prevented from helping.
