      It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an 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 anywhere, 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 revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known 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 textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, 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 classes 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 10:  What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their education to go to school” (lines 2)?

A. Summer school makes the school year too long.

B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year.

C. All of life is an education.

D. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.

Question 11:  The word “bounds”in line 4 is closest in meaning to

A. experience                B. limits                          C. exceptions                D. rules

Question 12:  The word “chance” in line 9 is closest in meaning to

A. unusual                     B. lively                          C. lengthy                      D. unplanned

Question 13:  The word “an integral” in line 12 is closest in meaning to

A. a pleasant                 B. an essential              C. an equitable             D. a profitable

Question 14:  The word “they” in line 16 refers to

A. slices of reality         B. seats                          C. similar textbooks      D. boundaries

Question 15:  The phrase “For example,” line 18, introduces a sentence that gives examples of

I had a week visit to England last year on the occasion of my gaining excellent prize. I went with a group of ten boys and girls. Each day, before going to bed, we often discussed  places to visit the following day. We decided to visit Buckingham Palace. We arrived at the palace early in the morning. It was very hot. It was much hotter than we expected. Everybody felt thirsty. Unfortunately, there was no ice cream stall around the palace. We wanted to get out of the area to buy some drink, but we hadn’t taken any pictures  at the palace. There were a lot of visitors in front of the palace gate so we couldn’t find any space to take any photos. Half an hour passed, we were all too tired to wait any longer. We decided to get out of the crowd  to get some drink and go back later. We caught a bus to Regent street, one of the busiest streets in London. There were a lot of shops there. The shop windows were full of beautiful goods so we forgot our thirst. Everyone tried to look for the things they planned to buy. And nobody thought of the time.

I had a week visit to England last year on the occasion of my gaining excellent prize. I went with a group of ten boys and girls. Each day, before going to bed, we often discussed  places to visit the following day. We decided to visit Buckingham Palace. We arrived at the palace early in the morning. It was very hot. It was much hotter than we expected. Everybody felt thirsty. Unfortunately, there was no ice cream stall around the palace. We wanted to get out of the area to buy some drink, but we hadn’t taken any pictures  at the palace. There were a lot of visitors in front of the palace gate so we couldn’t find any space to take any photos. Half an hour passed, we were all too tired to wait any longer. We decided to get out of the crowd  to get some drink and go back later. We caught a bus to Regent street, one of the busiest streets in London. There were a lot of shops there. The shop windows were full of beautiful goods so we forgot our thirst. Everyone tried to look for the things they planned to buy. And nobody thought of the time. When I got out of the souvenir shop, it was really dark. It was time to come back to the hotel. We were all thirsty and hungry. We went to the hotel in silence. That ended our third day in England.

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 33 to 40

      It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an 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 anywhere, 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 revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known 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 textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, 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 classes 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 33:  What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their education to go to school” (lines 2)?

A. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.

B. All of life is an education.

C. Summer school makes the school year too long.

D. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year.

Question 34:  The word “bounds”in line 4 is closest in meaning to

A. limits                          B. rules                           C. exceptions                D. experience

Question 35:  The word “chance” in line 9 is closest in meaning to

A. lively                          B. lengthy                      C. unplanned                D. unusual

Question 36:  The word “an integral” in line 12 is closest in meaning to

A. a profitable               B. an equitable             C. an essential              D. a pleasant

Question 37:  The word “they” in line 16 refers to

A. seats                          B. boundaries               C. slices of reality         D. similar textbooks

Question 38:  The phrase “For example,” line 18, introduces a sentence that gives examples of

A. the boundaries of classroom subjects          B. the results of schooling

C. the workings of a government                       D. similar textbooks

Question 39:  The passage supports which of the followIng conclusions?

A. Education involves many years of professional training.

B. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.

C. Education systems need to be radically reformed.

D. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant.
