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 from 60 to 64.

It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get as education

Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school The distinction

between schooling and education implied by this remark is important Education is much more open-ended

and all-inclusive than schooling Education knows no bounds It can take place where, whether in the

shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning The agents of education can range from a reserved grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist Whereas schooling has certain predictability, education quite often produce surprise A change conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is know of other religions

People are engaged in education from infancy on Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term It

is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school and one that should be an integral part of one’s entire life Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbook, do homework,

take exams, and so on The slices of reality that are to be learnt, whether they are the alphabet or an

understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their class the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling

Question 60: What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their education to go to school”? A Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial

B School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year

C Summer school makes the school year too long D All of life is an education

Question 61: the word “bounds” is closest in meaning to

A rules B experiences C limits D expectation

Question 62: the word “they” refers to

A slices of reality B similar textbooks C boundaries D seats

Question 63: The passage supports which of the following conclusions?

A Without formal education, people would remain ignorant B Education systems need to be radically reformed

C Going to school is only part of how people become educated

D Education involves many years of professional training

Question 64: The passage is organized by _.

A listing and discussing several educational problems B contrasting the meanings of two

related words

C narrating a story about excellent teachers D giving examples of different kinds of schools

II TOPIC: Write a letter to pen-pal to talk about your family rules.

………, September 21 st , 2014

Dear Jim,

I am writing to talk about my family rules It is an interesting topic, isn’t it? It may br obvious that every family has its own rules Mine has a few, apart from the traditional ones, especially for this school year as I am in the final year.

First, I am not allowed to watch much TV, except when there is a good or very interesting film or an academic game show, or when I have finished all my homework and exercises And hardly do my parents let

me stay up so late at night.

Next, my parents rarely permit me to go out with friends without necessary reasons for example birthdays or funerals.

Besides, I have to take the balanced diets to keep fit for my coming examinations And one more thing I have to keep up is talking on the phone That is why I have to set a limit to my using of the phone.

Furthermore, I don’t have to do much housework though we share that all together.

Do you think I have a lot of rules to abide? Or I have no rights or freedom to do what I want or like? Tell me about your family rules, will you? It is much fun to hear about then.

Write to me as soon as you can I look forward to hearing from you.

Best wishes,

Mai
