The traditional definition of literacy is considered to be the ability to read and write, or the ability

“Literacy is the ability to identify, understand, interpret, create, communicate and compute, using printed and written' materials (3) _ with varying contexts Literacy involves a continuum of learning to enable an Individual to achieve his or her goals, to develop his, or her (4) _ and potential, and to participate fully in the wider society."

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions

Bringing up children Where one stage of child development has been left out, or not sufficiently experienced, the child may have to go back and capture the experience of it A good home makes this possible - for

example, by providing the opportunity for the child to play with a clockwork car or toy railway train

up to any age if he still needs to do so This principle, in fact, underlies all psychological treatment of children in difficulties with their development, and is the basic of work in child clinics

The beginnings of discipline are in the nursery Even the youngest baby is taught by gradual stages to wait for food, to sleep and wake at regular intervals and so on If the child feels the world around him is a warm and friendly one, he slowly accepts its rhythm and accustoms himself to conforming to its demands Learning to wait for things, particularly for food, is a very important

element in upbringing, and is achieved successfully only if too great demands are not made before the child can understand them Every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new

skill: the first spoken words, the first independent steps, or the beginning of reading and writing It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate, but this can set up dangerous

feelings of failure and states of anxiety in the child This might happen at any stage A baby might

be forced to use a toilet too early, a young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads On the other hand, though, if a child is left alone too much, or without any learning opportunities, he loses his natural zest for life and his desire to find out new things for himself

Learning together is a fruitful source of relationship between children and parents By playing together, parents learn more about their children and children learn more from their parents Toys and games which both parents and children can share are an important means of achieving this co-operation Building-block toys, jigsaw puzzles and crosswords are good examples

Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness or indulgence towards their children Some may

be especially strict in money matters; others are severe over times of coming home at night,

punctuality for meals or personal cleanliness In general, the controls imposed represent the needs

of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness and well-being

With regard to the development of moral standards in the growing child, consistency is very important in parental teaching To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality Also, parents should realize that “example is better than precept” If they are hypocritical and do not practise what they preach, their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves, and realize they have been, to some extent, deceived A sudden awareness of a marked difference between their parents' ethics and their morals can be a dangerous disillusion

Questions 21 The principle underlying all treatment of developmental difficulties in children

A is in the provision of clockwork toys and trains B is to send them to clinics

C is to capture them before they are sufficiently experienced D offers recapture of earlier

experiences

Questions 22 Learning to wait for things is successfully taught

A in spite of excessive demands being made B only if excessive demands are

avoided

C because excessive demands are not advisable D is achieved successfully by all children

Questions 23: The encouragement of children to achieve new skills

A should be focused on only at school B can never be taken too far

C will always assist their development D should be balanced and moderate

Questions 24: Parental controls and discipline

A serve a dual purpose B are designed to promote the child’s

happiness

C reflect only the values of the community D should be avoided as far as possible Questions 25: The practice of the rule “Example is better than precept”

A only works when the children grow old enough to think for themselves

B would help avoid the necessity for ethics and morals

C will free a child from disillusion when he grows up D is too difficult for all

parents to exercise

Questions 26: In the 1st paragraph, the author lays some emphasis on the role of the in helping the child in trouble A psychiatrists B community C family D nursery

The advent of the Internet may be one of the most important technological developments in recent years Never before have so many people had access to so many different sources of information For all of the Internet’s advantages, however, people are currently becoming aware of some of its drawbacks and are looking for creative solutions Among the current problems, which include a general lack of reliability and numerous security concerns, the most crucial is speed

First of all, the Internet has grown very quickly In 1990, only a few academics had ever heard of the Internet In 1996, over 50 million people used it Every year, the number

of people with access to the Internet doubles The rapid growth has been a problem The computer systems which run the Internet have not been able to keep up with the demand Also, sometimes, a request for information must pass through many routing computers before the information can be obtained A request for information made in Paris might have to go through computers in New York, Los Angeles and Tokyo in order to obtain the required information Consequently, the service is often slow and unpredictable Service also tends to be worse when the Internet is busiest - during the business day of the Western Hemisphere - which is also when companies need its service the most

Some people are trying to harness the power of networked computers in such a way as

to avoid this problem In 1995, a group of American universities banded together to form what has come to be known as Internet II Internet II is a smaller, more specialized system intended for academic use Since it is more specialized, fewer users are allowed access Consequently, the time required to receive information has decreased

Businesses are beginning to explore a possible analogue to the Internet II Many businesses are creating their own “Intranets” These are systems that can only be used by the members of the same company In theory, fewer users should translate into a faster system Intranets are very useful for large national and international companies whose branches need to share information Another benefit of an Intranet is an increased amount

of security Since only company employees have access to the information on the Intranet, their information is protected from competitors While there is little doubt that the Internet

will eventually be a fast and reliable service, industry and the academic community have taken their own steps toward making more practical global networks

destination.
