IV.Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct

GOAL: ENDING CHILD LABOR

Carefully guiding a needle that's longer than his tiny fingers, a young boy in Pakistan stitches together the
leather pieces of a soccer ball. He sits crouched in the corner of a hot, airless shed for 12 hours. For his long day's
work, he will earn 60 cents.
The boy is one of more than 200 million children who work at hard, sometimes dangerous jobs all over the
world. Child labor exists in two-thirds of the world's nations. From Indonesia to Guatemala, poor children as
young as six are sent off to work. Often they are mistreated and punished for not working hard enough. Children
mix the gunpowder for firecrackers in China and knot the threads for carpets in India, all for pennies a day.
Sometimes they are sold as slaves.
In a speech to the Child Labor Coalition when he was U.S. Secretary of Labor, Robert Reich expressed gratitude
for the organization's work to end abuse of child labor, "You turned up the heat, and you got results." He also
congratulated Craig Kielburger, then 13, of Canada, who traveled the world for a year fighting for kids' rights.
Craig believes kids can make a difference. He offers this advice, "Write letters to companies and government
officials. Put pressure on leaders to make changes and to stop the misuse of children."
One solution to the child-labor problem in poor countries is education. "The future of these countries," Secretary
Reich declared, "depends on a work force that is educated. We are prepared to help build schools."
Education has helped to make the world a brighter place for one youth, Aghan of India. When he was nine,
Aghan was kidnapped from his home and sold to a carpet maker. Aghan's boss was very cruel. "I was always
crying for my mother," he recalls. Aghan's dream was to learn to write so that he could send letters to his parents.
Fortunately, a group that opposes child labor rescued Aghan from the factory. He was sent to a shelter in New
Delhi where he worked hard to learn to write.

A. treated well B. paid generously C . misused D. all of the above
74. When children are used to work for unfair wages in poor working conditions, it is best described as …..
A. an abuse of working children. B. hard work.
C.a poor working environment. D. unfair labor practices.
75. According to the article, children who work under poor conditions, ….
