The origins of baseball probably strectch back to 1839 when Abler Doubleday, a civil engineer student, laid out a diamond-shaped field at Cooperstown, New York, and attempted to standardize the rules governing the playing of such games as town ball and four old cats, the ancestor of baseball. By the end of the Civil War, interest in the game had grown rapidly. Over 200 teams or clubs existed, some of which toured the country playing rivals; they belonged to a national association of “Baseball Players” that had proclaimed a set of standard rules. These teams as amateurs or semi-professionals, but as the game waxed in popularity, it offered opportunities for profit, and the first professional team, the Cincinnati Red stockings, appeared in 1869. Other cities soon fielded professional teams, and in 1876 the present National League was organized chiefly by Albert Spalding. Soon a rival league appeared, the American Associaton.

Mark your choice on the answer sheet. Education in Bolivia, as in many other areas of Bolivia life, has a divide between Bolivia’s rural and urban areas. Rural illiteracy levels remain high, even as the rest of the country becomes increasingly literate. This disparity stems partly from the fact that many children living in rural areas are forced to contribute economically to their family households and thus are much less likely to attend school. On average, children from rural areas attend school for 4.2 years, while children in urban areas receive an average of 9.4 years of education. A gender divide also exists. Females, on average, receive about 1.5 years less schooling than males. The female illiteracy rate is 19.6 % while that for males is 7.7 %. The country’s illiteracy level as a whole, 13-14%, is comparably higher than in other South American countries. The problems with Bolivia education are not necessarily attributeable to lack of funding. Bolivia devotes 23% of its annual budget to educational expenditures, a higher percentage than in most other South American countries, albeit from a smaller national budget. A comprehensive seven-year plan of education reform has made some significant changes. Initiated in 1994, the plan decentralized educational funding in order to meet diverse local needs, improved teacher training and curricula, and changed the school grade system. Resistance from teachers’ unions, however, has slowed implementation of some of the intended reforms. 35. Most of the children in rural areas in Bolivia are illiterate because _______________________. A. they don’t want to go to school B. they are made to stay at home to help thei families C. they find it difficult to learn to read and write D. there is s shortage of teachers and schools in Bolivia 36. On average, children from urban areas attend school for _______________________________. A. 1.5 years B. 4.2 years C. 7.4 years D. 9.4 years 37.

Which of the following sentences is NOT true? A. In Bolivia males receive more schooling than females. B. Bolivian illiteracy level is higher than in other South American countries. C.
