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 10 to 17

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

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

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

A the results of schooling B the workings of a government

Trang 3

C the boundaries of classroom subjects D similar textbooks
