correct answer to each of the questions As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the United States increased The frontier had mostly disappeared and by 1910 most Americans lived in towns and cities Industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life combined with a new emphasis upon credentials and expertise to make schooling increasingly important for economic and social mobility Increasingly, too, schools were viewed as the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society The arrival of a great wave of southern and eastern European immigrants at the turn of the century coincided with and contributed to an enormous expansion of formal schooling By 1920 schooling to age fourteen or beyond was compulsory in most states, and the school year was greatly lengthened Kindergartens, vacation schools, extracurricular activities, and vocational education and counseling extended the influence of public schools over the lives of students, many of whom in the larger industrial cities were the children of immigrants Classes for adult immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches, settlement houses, and other agencies Reformers early in the twentieth century suggested that education programs should suit the needs of specific populations Immigrant women were once such population Schools tried to educate young women so they could occupy productive places in the urban industrial economy, and one place many educators considered appropriate for women was the home Although looking after the house and family was familiar to immigrant women, American education gave homemaking a new definition In pre-industrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as well as the consumption of goods, and it commonly included income-producing activities both inside and outside the home, in the highly industrialized early-twentieth-century United States, however, overproduction rather than scarcity was becoming a problem Thus, the ideal American homemaker was viewed as a consumer rather than a producer Schools trained women to be consumer homemakers cooking, shopping, decorating, and caring for children "efficiently" in their own homes, or if economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out-of-date 25 The paragraph preceding the passage probably discusses _ A the most important means of integrating immigrants into American society in the nineteen century B the urbanization in the United States in the nineteen century C the industrialization and the bureaucratization of economic life the United States in the 19th century D the formal schooling in the United States in the nineteen century 26 It can be

shore or from a boat If you like boats, you can go sailing, canoeing, or windsurfing Or, you can also try some other water sports that are especially popular in Hawaii: surfing, snorkeling and scuba diving Surfing is a sport which started in Hawaii many years ago The Hawaiians called it “he'enalu”, which means “to slide on a wave” If you want to try surfing, you need, first of all, to be a good swimmer You also have to have an excellent sense of balance You must swim out from the beach with your surfboard under your arm When you get to where the waves begin to break, you wait for a calm moment Then you try to stand up on the board The wave will begin to rise under you You must try to steer the board with your feet so you stay on top of the wave The important thing is to keep your balance and not fall down If you can manage this, you will have an exciting ride all the way in to the shore Scuba diving and snorkeling are two ways to get a close look at the beauty lying below the surface of the ocean The waters off the Hawaiian Islands are clean, dear, and warm They contain hundreds of kinds of colorful fish The undersea world is made even more colorful by the coral reefs of red, gold, white, and light purple Among these reefs there may be larger fish or sea turtles Scuba diving allows you to see the most interesting undersea sights “Scuba” means “Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus”, that is, equipment for Breathing and swimming around far under water In Hawaii, you can take special courses to learn how to scuba dive After the courses, you can get a certificate that will allow you to dive alone Since it can be dangerous, proper instruction and great care are always necessary when you are scuba diving If you are less adventurous, you might try snorkeling instead of scuba diving Less equipment is needed, just a face mask, a breathing tube (snorkel) and flippers for your feet It only takes a few minutes to learn how to snorkel Although you cannot dive deep into the water, you can swim with your face below the surface Breathing through the tube, you float on the surface, and keep yourself moving with your flippers Even from the surface

academic and financial pressures compared with earlier eras Based on data about how students are spending time, academicor financial pressures don't seem to be greater now than a generation ago The data show that full-time students in all types of colleges study much less now than they did a generation ago - a full 10 hours a week less Students are also receiving significantly higher grades So it appears that academic pressures are, in fact, considerably lower than they used to be The time-use data don’t suggest that students feel greater financialpressures, either When the time savings and lower opportunity costs are factored in, college appears less expensive for most students than it was in the 1960s And though there are now full-time students working to pay while in college, they study less even when paid work choices are held constantly In other words, full-time students not appear to be studying less in order to work more They appear to be studying less and spending the extra time on leisure activities or fun It seems hard to imagine that students feeling increased financial pressures would respond by taking more leisure Based on how students are spending their time, then, it doesn’t look as though academic or financial pressures are greater now than a generation ago The time- use data don’t speak directly to social pressures, and it may well be that these have become more intense lately In one recent set of data, students reported spending more than 23 hours per week either socializing with friends or playing on the computer for fun Social activities, in person or on computer, would seem to have become the major focus of campus life It is hard to tell what kinds of pressures would be associated with this change Question 43:Research studies have shown

and A spending more time doing odd jobs B taking more extracurricular activities C.giving more time to sports D spending more time on leisure Question 45:The study’s conclusion that students’ workload now is not greater than before is based on A.how students work through college B what students achieve with greater load C how students spend their time D what college demands from students Question
