NGÀY MŨI ĐỎ

Năm 1985, có một nạn đói khủng khiếp diễn ra tại Sudan thuộc châu Phi. Richard Curtis, một nhà viết truyện hài người Anh, cùng với bạn của mình, Alexander Mendis đã thấy những bản tin và muốn làm điều gì đó khác biệt. Họ thành lập một tổ chức từ thiện có tên là Comic Relief (sự trợ giúp hài hước) với sự hỗ trợ của nhà từ thiện Jane Tewson. Năm 1988, tổ chức từ thiện nghĩ ra ý tưởng bán những chiếc mũi đỏ bằng nhựa để gây quỹ. Đó là một thành công to lớn, và bán những chiếc mũi đỏ trở thành một phần không thể thiếu khi hội từ thiện nước Anh tổ chức các sự kiện đóng góp. Năm 1997, kênh truyền hình BBC ủng hộ Comic Relief bằng cả một buổi chiều và các buổi tối phát sóng các chương trình đặc biệt, gọi là Ngày Mũi Đỏ. Cùng lúc đó, mọi người khắp nước Anh tổ chức các sự kiện gây quỹ và gửi tiền đến Ngày Mũi Đỏ. Tổng cộng, sự kiện đã gây quỹ được 27 triệu bảng tiền từ thiện. Kể từ khi thành lập, Comic Relief đã gây quỹ được hơn 600 triệu bảng, nhờ có sự rộng lượng của công chúng Anh và sự giúp đỡ của những người nổi tiếng có tham gia. Tổ chức từ thiện sản xuất sách, đĩa CD và các mặt hàng khác để quyên góp tiền. Vào năm 2001, JK Rowling đã viết hai cuốn sách cho Comic Relief dựa trên tiểu thuyết Harry Potter nổi tiếng và tất cả số tiền từ việc bán sách đã được chuyển đến tổ chức từ thiện

FIRST TIME IN THE AIR

When John Mills was going to fly in an aeroplane for the first time, he was frightened. He did not like the idea of being thousands of feet up in the air. “I also didn’t like the fact that I wouldn’t be in control,” says John. “I’m a terrible passenger in the car. When somebody else is driving, I tell them what to so. It drives everybody crazy.”

However John couldn’t avoid flying any longer. It was the only way he could visit his grandchildren in Canada.

“I had made up my mind that I was going to do it, I couldn’t let my son, his wife and their three children travel all the way here to visit me. It would be so expensive for them and I know Tom’s business isn‟t doing so well at the moment – it would also be tiring for the children – it’s a nine-hour flight!” he says.

To get ready for the flight John did lots of reading about aeroplanes. When he booked his seat, he was told that he would be flying on a Boeing 747, which is better known as a jumbo jet. “I needed to know as much as possible before getting in that plane. I suppose it was a way of making myself feel better. The Boeing 747 is the largest passenger aircraft in the world at the moment. The first one flew on February 9th 1969 in the USA. It can carry up to 524 passengers and 3.400 pieces of luggage. The fuel for aeroplanes is kept in the wings and the 747’s wings are so big that they can carry enough fuel for an average car to be able to travel 16,000 kilometres a year for 70 years. Isn‟t that unbelievable? Even though I had discovered all this very interesting information about the jumbo, when I saw it for the first time, just before I was going to travel to Canada, I still couldn‟t believe that something so enormous was going to get up in the air and fly. I was even more impressed when I saw how big it was inside with hundreds of people!”

The biggest surprise of all for John was the flight itself. “The take-off itself was much smoother than I expected although I was still quite scared until we were in the air. In the end, I managed to relax, enjoy the food and watch one of the movies and the view from the window was spectacular. I even managed to sleep for a while!

Of course,” continues John, “the best reward of all was when I arrived in Canada and saw my son and his family, particularly my beautiful grandchildren. Suddenly, I felt so silly about all the years when I couldn‟t even think of getting on a plane. I had let my fear of living stop me from seeing the people I love most in the world. I can visit my son and family as often as I like now!”

Question: What happened when he saw the jumbo jet for the first time?

A. He felt much safer.

B. He liked the shape of it.

C. He couldn’t believe how big it was.

D. He thought the wings were very small.

          When John Mills was going to fly in an aero plane for the first time, he was frightened. He did not like the idea of being thousands of feet up in the air. “ ‘I also didn’t like the fact that I wouldn’t be in control,” says John. “I’m a terrible passenger in the car. When somebody else is driving, I tell them what to so. It drives everybody crazy.” However John couldn’t avoid flying any longer. It was the only way he could visit his grandchildren in Canada. “I had made up my mind that I was going to do it, I couldn’t let my son, his wife and their three children travel all the way here to visit me. It would be so expensive for them and I know Tom’s business isn’t doing so well at the moment – it would also be tiring for the children – it’s a nine-hour flight!” he says. To get ready for the flight John did lots of reading about aero planes. When he booked his seat, he was told that he would be flying on a Boeing 747, which is better known as a jumbo jet. “I needed to know as much as possible before getting in that plane. I suppose it was a way of making myself feel better. The Boeing 747 is the largest passenger aircraft in the world at the moment. The first one flew on February 9th 1969 in the USA. It can carry up to 524 passengers and 3.400 pieces of luggage. The fuel for aero planes is kept in the wings and the 747’s wings are so big that they can carry enough fuel for an average car to be able to travel 16,000 kilometers a year for 70 years. Isn’t that unbelievable? Even though I had discovered all this very interesting information about the jumbo, when I saw it for the first time, just before I was going to travel to Canada, I still couldn’t believe that something so enormous was going to get up in the air and fly. I was even more impressed when I saw how big it was inside with hundreds of people!” The biggest surprise of all for John was the flight itself. “The take-off itself was much smoother than I expected although I was still quite scared until we were in the air. In the end, I managed to relax, enjoy the food and watch one of the movies and the view from the window was spectacular. I even managed to sleep for a while! Of course,” continues John, “the best reward of all was when I arrived in Canada and saw my son and his family, particularly my beautiful grandchildren. Suddenly, I felt so silly about all the years when I couldn’t even think of getting on a plane. I had let my fear of living stop me from seeing the people I love most in the world. I can visit my son and family as often as I like now!”
