VI. Reading: Read the passage and then choose the correct answers (1,0)

UNICEF means the United Nations Children’s emergency fund. It serves children in communities all over
the world. It helps children of all races, nationalities, religions, and political systems in more than 140
worldwide countries. The purpose of UNICEF is to help provide a better life for children and their mothers.
UNICEF gives both long - term assistance and emergency.

UNICEF was created in 1946 to help bring food and medicine to children who suffered during World War II
in Europe. It began as a temporary agency, but became a pernament part of the United Nations in 1953
due to the need for its services around the world. UNICEF‘s primary concern is to help governments
of developing countries improve the quality of life for almost one billion children. UNICEF‘s main
office is in the United Nations in New York City, but it also has more than 40 offices and 100 programs
worldwide. In 1965, UNICEF won the Nobel Peace Prize for its work helping children and building brighter
futures.

UNICEF works with governments to provide three kinds of services. First, UNICEF plans and develops
programs in developing countries. These programs serve the community by providing health care,
information about nutrition, basic education , and safe water and sanitation. Then UNICEF trains people to
work in these programs. UNICEF also provides supplies and equipment that enable the programs to work.

UNICEF’s greatest concern is to improve the health of children. It does this in several ways. It improves
water supplies in undeveloped countries where water is not clean enough to drink. When children drink
unclean water, they become sick, and many die. UNICEF works very hard to correct this. It also provides
food and teaches people what to feed their children so they grow up to be healthy. UNICEF provides
immunizations for children to prevent serious diseases. It gives important vitamins, such as vitamin A, to
children who could go blind because of a lack of it. Additionally, it supports disabled children throughout the
world. UNICEF trains teachers and provides equipment and supplies for schools. By teaching people to read
and write, UNICEF helps people to improve their lives.
