Read the following passage carefully and answer questions 26 – 40

Refugees are people who had to leave their countries for other countries. They flee their countries to escape famine, danger, war or some kind of suffering brought onto them usually because of their tribe, race, religion or political party. The refugee problem is present in many parts of the world. Refugees usually need immediate help in form of 

food, shelter, clothing and medical assistance.

In most countries, refugees stay in camps, where they are given assistance.by the host government and by volunteer and international agencies. The well known of these agencies is the United Nations High Commission for Refugees.
           Many refugees camps are often unhealthy, because they are overcrowded and sanitary conditions are poor. It is common to find outbreaks of diseases. Children often suffer the most, because they cannot withstand hardships as well as grown-ups. As a result, the rate at which children die, known as the child mortality rate is usually quite high.

Most refugees find it difficult to live in a new environment in another country. Often they have to learn a new language and to eat new types of food. Sometimes they are unwelcome and even hated by the people of the host  country. Refugees may often have to learn new skills to get employment.

Inspite of these problems, many refugees have helped in the development of their host countries by bringing in new skills and have improved their own lives and those of their families.
