C Reading Comprehension and Set Books 6 Read the following passage, then answer the questions: In the nineteenth century, while Dickens was writing about social problems in England, people in American cities were facing similar problems. Thousands of immigrants were coming from Europe every year because they had no jobs or land at home. They had little money and often lived in poor, crowded buildings. Many of them had come from small villages. They did not know how to live in big cities. Many of them did not speak English and they did not have job skills. In 1889, two upper-class women, Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr, moved into a big house in a 52 157 GG Term LL Practice OO Tests SS First SS AA RR YY poor neighbourhood of Chicago. They called it “Hull House”. With others’ help, at night they gave classes in English and job skills for factory workers. They opened a kindergarten for small children whose parents worked in factories. They had clubs for older children and a library. They helped 2,000 people every week to have healthier and better lives. Today in Chicago, the Hull House Association continues the social work that was begun by Jane Addams more than a century ago. 1 What problems in nineteenth century America were similar to the problems in nineteenth century England? People were poor. They were crowded in cities. They had no jobs and no land. 2 Why did Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr move into a poor neighbourhood? To help teach English and job skills to poor factory workers. 3 Why did they give classes at night and not in the day? Because factory workers worked during the day. 4 Do you think Hull House was a success? Why or why not? Yes, because 2000 people were being helped per week./Because it led to a better society. 5 What are immigrants? a poor people b people who come to live in a country from another country c visitors from another country d people who don’t speak English 6 Who or what does the underlined “they” refer to? a factory workers 7 b immigrants c Jane and Ellen d factories Answer only four (4) of the following questions: 1 What is a photographic memory?

Yes, because she helped other women to succeed in education and work. 158 6 Mention two reasons why children grow up on the streets. Children grow up on the streets because they come from very poor families who can’t afford to feed their children, so they send them away. Another reason is that some children are very unhappy at home, so they run away to live on the streets with other children. Other reasons include war and natural disasters like floods or earthquakes, in which the parents might be killed and the children and forced to look after themselves.
