Read the texts from a magazine article in which five persons talked about their attitude to helping the people in developing countries. For question 61 to 65, match the name of each person (61—65) to one of the statements given below, which is the summary of his or her speech. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
P. Howard:
Every day thousands of people in Asia and Africa die of starvation. Millions more suffer from malnutrition and disease. All this misery could be prevented if the rich nations kept their promise to provide one per-cent of their annual Gross National Product in assistance to developing countries. Last year they gave on average less than 0.4%. That isn’t much, is it? Obviously they could have give more than that, and they certainly should have played a more important role in doing this.
J. Adams:
There are poor people in our own country. We should take care of them before we start giving money to foreigners. In this city we have 20,000 home-less families, 4,000 sick or disabled people. There is no point in squander our precious money. Let the rich princes and the corrupt dictators of Africa take care of their own people. It’s nothing to do with us. Why should we be responsible for their wrongdoing? Why should we be supposed to look after their people?
D. Graham:
A few years ago there was a terrible famine in the countries bordering the Sahara Desert. Thousands of people died. They could have been saved if a few dams had been built to collect water during the raining season. They’ve been asking for help for years, but they never got it. Why is it that the rich countries can afford to develop supersonic aircraft, space shuttles and rockets and nuclear weapons powerful enough to destroy the whole world, and yet they can’t afford to build a few dams that could save thousands of lives? I simply don’t understand this. The developed countries throw away millions of money into their space projects, and they even grudged just a little money for the poor people. In America, people die of heart diseases from overeating. How call they imagine starvation? Most American dogs eat more and better than the children in Bangladesh. American farmers destroy surplus food in order to keep the prices high. Nobody will pay to send it to people who are dying of starvation. They just don’t care. Why could things be so different for people in the developing countries? They are also human beings, aren’t they?
H. Wilson:
I got what I have by hard work and sacrifice. It’s about time the poor countries learned to do the same. They could build huge manufacturing industries if the people were prepared to work instead of begging. Their main problem is over-population. Whose fault is that? When beggars are allowed to have ten children, how can a poor country expect to develop? When you first have so many mouths to feed, how can you think of better housing and good education system. They have got too many problems.
P. Mombo:
For hundreds of years we were exploited by colonialism. Our men were taken as slaves, our natural resources were stolen, our industries were suppressed. As a result of these, Europe and North America became rich and we have nothing. Now it’s time to repay the debt. We must be given money to build export industries and to develop our farms. We can take care of ourselves if we are given a fair chance. I have complete faith in my people. They are honest and hard working if only can they stand a chance to start.
Now match each of the persons (61 to 65) to the appropriate statement.
Note: there are two extra statements.
Statements
[A] We were exploited in the past and now the rich nations should pay their debt.
[B] People in the developing countries should build huge manufacturing industries.
[C] People are getting too fat in America because they eat too much food and suffer from over-nutrition.
[D] What we should consider first is our own problems at home.
[E] The rich are getting richer and the poor poorer simply because the rich don’t care about the poor.
[F] The rich nations failed to keep their promise to give 1% of their annual Gross National Product in assistance to developing countries, causing serious problem there.
[G] I made myself a success through hard work. Begging for money does not really help the poor countries.
