Section II Reading Comprehension
A Read the passage Then answer the questions that follow. (5 points each)
Career Change
A People who are thinking about changing careers are often afraid of what will happen if they quit their job. Will they find another one? Will they like another field as well as the one they are in now? Will they be able to grow and advance in a new organization?
B As these questions come to mind, they should try to figure out the answers so they can reach a decision. Although there is a high rate of unemployment in some countries, there are usually jobs for skilled workers who can use computers or other equipment Those who have specialized training in these areas can generally find a position without too much effort.
C The question of whether they’ll like another field more than their current one is also a crucial one While it’s nice to dream about having another job, the reality may be that they aren't suited for it. For example, if an architect likes to cook but has no idea about how to run a business, it may be risky for him to open a restaurant. He can cook for his friends on weekends and satisfy his dreams of being a chef in that way.
D Another good way for a person to find out if he will be successful in a new field is to try it out as a part-time job. Being an event planner sounds glamorous, but helping friends with parties or weddings might show that it' s also very stressful. However, if he has the creativity and organization necessary for such a position, he can continue to plan events for friends until he builds up a reputation. Then he can leave his current job to look for a job in event planning knowing that he’ll be successful in this area.
E Once a person has found his or her specialty and decides on the change, it's necessary to stick with it until the business gets off the ground. This usually takes about five years. If the move has been from one company to another, the person should stay until it is clear he is doing a good job and can advance to a higher position. Following this advice will make the transition smoother and the career change successful.

Volunteering in the United States
A Volunteering is a practice that many people in the United States engage in at some point in their lives. It means doing unpaid work for or through an organization It may be a simple activity, like school children cleaning up their neighborhood park, or teenagers washing cars to earn money to support their team. It may be an educational activity, like college students tutoring children after school, or professionals advising recent university graduates. It may also be for environmental organizations, like Earth watch or Greenpeace. Whatever a person's interest, there are dozens of ways to volunteer, and many Americans do it.
B The Department of Labor collects information on volunteering in the United States, and it says that every year, over 65 million people offer their services. One-fourth of men and one-third of women work for at least one organization without being paid. The organizations that they volunteer for the most are (1) religious, (2) educational and youth services, and (3) social and community service. People between the ages of 35 and 55 tend to volunteer a great deal, but teenagers also volunteer a lot, possibly because this type of work is emphasized in schools.
C The average time spent in unpaid activities is about 50 hours per year. Retired people (over 65) offer more of their time than other age groups-over 90 hours per year. Married people tend to volunteer more than single people, and parents tend to volunteer more than adults without children Parents are more likely to get involved in schools and sport teams. while adults without children are more likely to offer their time to hospitals or community service organizations.
D Regarding the type of work they do, people with higher levels of education are more likely to do tutoring, coaching, supervising, and counseling, or to provide management or medical assistance Those with lower levels of education are more likely to collect, prepare, distribute, and serve food. People with full-time jobs are less likely than those with part-time jobs to volunteer. Among those who volunteered in the past but no longer do so, lack of time is the main reason, followed by health/medical problems, and family responsibilities. All in all, the trend of volunteering is alive and well in the United States, with more people lending a hand every year.
