For example, only 8% in the questionnaire (33) _ they have ever used their cell phones in public in a loud or annoying way Many people (34) _ new technology for our changing manners Computers, MP3 players, and cell phones take us away from face-to-face contact, as well as being very annoying in public places "All of these things result in a world with more stress, more chances for people to be rude to each other," said Peter Post, an instructor on business manners But what can we about it? Some people would like to see a rail car (35) _ for cell phone users so that the rest of us can travel in peace and quiet In fact, one train company, Amtrak, has banned cell phones in one car of some trains, which is called a "Quiet Car" Question 31 A ruder Question 32 A those Question 33 A confess Question 34 A reproach Question 35 A founded B older B them B admit B reprimand B prepared C wiser C they C accept C command C reserved D smarter D ones D agree D blame D suited Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions Learning does not just mean studying from a textbook and copying it down come test time - it refers to drawing meaning from your work and seeing how it’s important and connected to a broader concept or idea Though for many students “learning” may consist of memorizing formulas, dates, and facts, they often miss the bigger picture If you spend all of your efforts on memorizing and none of your efforts on understanding what you are actually doing, by the time the next test rolls around, the information stored in your short term memory may be completely forgotten As an example, take two students, Julie and Brian Both students are in high school, getting ready for an upcoming mathematics test Julie memorizes the way that you solve each problem, all of the formulas, and knows exactly what steps she needs to to solve any of the example questions Brian also memorizes the formulas but concentrates on the why - and understands why the examples are done the way that they are, comprehending the methods and connecting any relevant prior knowledge to each question at hand Both might ace the test, but come exam time, Julie will have to memorize the concepts all over again - and one slight twist in the question may throw her off Brian, however, understanding the concepts behind his steps, will be much better off come any challenging question, and practicing questions will come more naturally to him That being said, not all students must be categorized into being a Julie or a Brian - instead, they may fit in between the two The important take-away is understanding how important asking “why?” really is In the midst of stress or a heavy workload, this question is often forgotten - yet it is the key to lifelong learning Practicing the art of asking “why” not only enriches one’s curiosity, but it feeds your desire to learn beyond the textbook (Adapted from https://medium.com/) Question 36 The word “that” in paragraph refers to A the examples B the way C the methods D prior knowledge Question 37 According to paragraph 3, why is Brian’s method of learning superior to Julie’s?
