Câu hỏi: Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on the answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
Ever since she arrived on the pop scene in the early eighties, Madonna has remained one of the most well-known celebrities in the world. She has shown herself to be a talented singer, dancer, songwriter and actress. Having achieved all this, one cannot doubt that she has a strong belief in herself and her abilities. She seems to have gained such a strong personality through her own painful childhood experiences. She went to a strict Catholic school, was one of many children, and her family was split up after her mother died from cancer.
Eventually, in search of fame, she left college and went to New York with only her suitcase and a few dollars. Madonna became one of the biggest stars on the planet, and has sold over 200 million records worldwide, making her the most successful solo artist alive. Few, though, may have realized that her rough start in life is exactly what made her so determined to get ahead and to decide to help so many others.
Madonna's single cause over the past 10 years of her life is to give back to the people as much as she can. This is why she has made such a huge effort to bring an end to the extreme poverty and hardship experienced by Malawi's 2 million orphans. She founded Raising Malawi a non-profit organization that gives children in Malawi food, clothing, shelter, education, medical care and psychological support. At the same time, she supports other non-government organizations that offer many poor African families opportunities to earn themselves. These programmes try to change the lives of these people once and for all.
It makes you wonder, doesn't it? What would happen if every one of us, just like Madonna did, gave back to those in need? Without a doubt, the world would be such a better place to live in. And it's not simply because certain people would be able to have the things that they should have never lived without in the first place, but also because through volunteering and charity, everyone can become a better person, experiencing benefits one would have never even imagined.
How would the writer probably describe Madonna?
A. "What she is truly passionate about is helping those in need have a better future."
B. "Her success doesn't mean much to her as she always wants to become better and better."
C. "She is a woman that may seem to care for others but in fact only does so for herself."
D. "She has failed to achieve what she could have because of a life of hardship that eventually brought her down."
