SECTION 3: READING
4 Read the paragraphs below. Are the statements true (T) or false (F)?
1 Rich people often give money to charity. _________
2 Rich people usually give more than money. _________
3 Charities need business help. _________
4 American companies often have social events. _________
5 Office social events are very popular in Britain. _________
6 Companies want people to meet in an informal way. _________
7 Picnics are not always a good idea. _________
8 Some workers like to file things immediately. _________
9 Pilers are always disorganised. _________
10 People with untidy desks can never find things. _________
a) There are more rich people in the world today than in the past. Many of these people give
money to charities. Some people believe that these rich business people could give more than
just money. For example they could help charities to be good businesses. Charities need to make
money and use it in the best way for them, like any other business. A business expert can help
them.
b) Office social events are popular in America, but not so much in Britain. Companies think
social events are a good way for people to meet informally. Organising picnics, however, has
some disadvantages. For example, the weather can be bad, the children can be noisy, and some
people do not like eating outside with insects flying around. Other people are worried that the
food is not fresh, which could make them ill.
c) So you like to keep your desk tidy? Some people do and some people don’t. Which is
best: a tidy desk or an untidy one? Research tells us that there are usually two types of people:
the filer who files documents immediately and the piler who leaves documents all over the desk.
It is interesting that people who have untidy desks are not always disorganised. They usually
know where everything is.
