0202 دورة اختبار تجريبي في مادة اللغة اإلنجليزية د02 سا و20 :المدة آ داب وفلسفة:الشعبة Part One: Reading (15 points) A/ Comprehension (07 points) Read the text carefully then do the following activities: Corruption in the health sector can mean the difference between life and death. Poor people are the most affected. Medical staff can charge unofficial fees to attend to patients. They may demand bribes for medication which should be free. Corruption also costs lives when fake adulterated medications are sold to health services. Without governmental control, public funds can easily disappear. World Bank surveys show that in some countries up to 80 percent of non-salary health funds never reach local facilities. Ministers and hospital administrators who embezzle millions of dollars from health budgets, or accept bribes give bad reputation to qualified medical staff. Stolen funds also hamper efforts to beat major health challenges, such as Malaria and HIV/ AIDS. Governments need to publish detailed health budgets and financial information to be understood. As a result, we can truck funds and prevent them from being stolen. Health workers need adequate pay and guarantees that salaries will reach them on time. Governments need to tackle counterfeit drugs at source. (Adapted from: http://www.transparency.org/topic/detail/health) 1. The text is: a. a newspaper article b. a report c. a web article 2.
