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.

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

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

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.

Plants and animals will find it difficult to escape from or adjust to the effects of global warming Scientists have already observed shifts in the lifecycles of many plants and animals, such as flowers blooming earlier and birds hatching earlier in the spring Many species have begun shifting where they live or their annual migration patterns due to warmer temperatures

With further warming, animals will tend to migrate toward the poles and up mountainsides toward higher elevations Plants will also attempt to shift their ranges, seeking new areas as old habitats grow too warm In many places, however, human development will prevent these shifts Spices that find cities or farmland blocking their way north or south may become extinct Spices living in unique ecosystems, such

as THOSE found in polar and mountaintop regions, are especially at risk because

migration to new habitats is not possible For example, polar bears and marine

mammals in the Arctic are already threatened by DWINDLING SEA ICE but have

now where farther north to go

Projecting species extinction due to global warming is extremely difficult Some scientists have estimated that 20 to 50 percent of spices could be committed to extinction with 2 or 3 Celsius degrees of further warming The rate of warming, not just the magnitude, is extremely important for plants and animals Some species and

Ocean ecosystems, especially FRAGILE ones like coral reefs, will also be affected by

global warming Warmer ocean temperatures can cause coral to “bleach”, a state which

if prolonged will lead to the death of the coral Scientists estimate that even 1 Celsius degree of addition warming could lead to widespread bleaching and death of coral reefs around the world Also, increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere enters the ocean and increases the acidity of ocean waters This acidification further stresses ocean ecosystems
