II Read the following passage carefully and choose the best answer to the following questions (1m)

Like school in Britain and other English speaking countries, those in the U.S have also always stressed “character” or “social”

“skills” through extracular activities, including organized sports Because most schools start at around 8 o’clock every morning and classes often do not finish until 3 or 4 o’clock in the afternoon, such activities mean that many students do not return home until the early evening There is usually a very broad range of extracurricular activities available Most schools, for instance, publish the owe student newspapers and some have their own radio stations Almost all have student orchestras, bands, and choirs

Many different sports are also available and most school share their facilities- swimming pools, tennis courts, tracks, and stadiums with the public Often the students themselves organize and support school activities and raise money through car washes, baby sitting, or by mowing lawns Parents and local business often also help a group that, for example, has a chance to go to a state music competition, to compete in some sports championship, or take a camping trip Such activities not only give pupils a chance to

be together outside of normal classes, the also help develop a feeling of “school spirit” among the students and in the community
