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 following questions.

As the twentieth century began, the importance of formal education in the US 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 sates, 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 adults immigrants were sponsored by public schools, corporations, unions, churches 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, School 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 preindustrial economies, homemaking had meant the production as

well as the consumption of good, 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 idea American was viewed as 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economic necessity demanded, as employees in the homes of others Subsequent reforms have made these notions seem quite out of date

Read the passage and choose the best answer to each questions.

Very few people in the modern world obtain their food supply by hunting and gathering in the natural environment surrounding their homes This method of harvesting from nature’s provision is the oldest subsistence strategy, and has been practiced for at least two million years It was, indeed, the only way to

obtain food until rudimentary farming and the domestication of animals were introduced about 10000 years

ago

Because hunter-gathers have fared poorly in comparison with their agricultural cousins, their numbers have dwindled, and they have been forced to live in marginal environments such as deserts forests or artic wasteland In higher latitudes, the shorter growing season has restricted the availability of plant life Such conditions have caused a greater independence on hunting, and along the coasts and waterways, on fishing

The abundance of vegetation in the lower latitudes of the tropics, on the other hand, has provided a greater opportunity for gathering a variety of plants In short, the environmental differences have restricted the diet

and have limited and possibilities for the development of subsistence societies Contemporary hunter- gathers may help us understand our prehistoric ancestors We know from from observation of modern hunter- gathers

in both Africa and Alaska that society based on hunting and gathering must be very mobile While the entire

community camps in a central location, a smaller party harvests the food within a reasonable distance from the camp When the food in the area is exhausted, the community moves on to exploit another site We also notice a seasonal migration on pattern evolving for most hunter gathers, along with a restrict division of labor between sexes These patterns of behavior may be similar to those practiced by mankind during the
