I followed her to her truck and bought a kilo. On credit, of course. _ 41 “ Pay me whenever you like ,”said Effie, climbing back into her truck.All pretense of payment was dropped when our funds, food and fuel decreased to alarming lows. Effie came often , always bringing some gift: a jar of peaches or some firewood. There were other generosities. Our. baby was not doing well, so Effie financed my wife' s trip to New York for consultation with a specialist.42 . Her income , derived from investments she had made while running an interior decorating shop, had never exceeded $200 a month, which she supplemented by selling her apples. But she always managed to help someone poorer.Years passed before I was able to return the money Effie had given me from time to time. She was ill now and had aged rapidly in the last year. “Here, darling," I said, “is what I owe you.“Don't give it to me all at once,”she said.“_ 43 ” I think she believed there was magic in the slow discharge of a love debt.The simple fact is that I never repaid the whole amount to Effie, for she died a few weeks later. 44 . But a curious thing began to happen.Whenever I saw a fellow human in financial trouble, I was moved to help him. I can’t affordto do this always, but in the ten years since Effie' s death, I have indirectly repaid my debt to her.The oddest part of the whole affair is that people whom I help often help others later on. 45 . So the account can never be marked closed, for Effie' s love will go on in hearts that have never known her.[ A] At that time,it seemed that my debt would forever go unsettled.[B] Give your help to those in greater need. .[C] Effie was not a rich woman.[D] Effie worked diligently all her life.[E] Cash was the one thing in the world I lacked just then.[F] By now, the few dollars Effie gave me have been multiplied many times.[G] Give it back as I gave it to you - a little at a time.

There are TWO extra sentences that you do not need to use. Mark your answers on your ANSWER SHEET.In 2009, the number of hungry people in the world reached one billion for the first time. It' 'sdifficult not to be shocked by the fact that more than one in seven people in the world do not haveenough to eat. 4l . Hunger kills more people per year than diseases such as AIDS,malaria and TB combined.The UN estimates that almost two thirds of the world’s hungry people are in Asia, which is of course the world’s most populous Continent. 42 Although this region has a much lower population than Asia, it has the highest percentage of hungry. people. Almost all of the rest are in Latin America, North Africa and the Caribbean. In the richest regions of the world there are only a tiny number of people who don' t have enough to eat.There are many reasons for world hunger. They include wars , droughts, floods,and the overuse of farming land. 43 Many people also blame greedy businessmen for pushing up the prices of basic foods in the global market. But the most important reason, quite simply, is poverty, which has increased recently due to the financial crisis of 2008.Although many people make the obvious point that there would be less hunger if the global population were smaller, few people would argue that there is not enough food to go around.44 In the last 50 years, global food production has risen even more quickly than the global population. There are many areas of the world in which people generally have more than enough food.45 The answer to world hunger, therefore, may be a balanced food distribution aroundthe whole world.
