PART III: READING COMPREHENSION (10pts)
1. Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions.
It is commonly believed 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 difference between schooling and
education implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits. It
can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on the tractor. It
includes both the formal learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal learning. The
agent (doer) of education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the
radio , from a child to a famous 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 receive 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 a necessary 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 about the same time, take the
assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The
pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of
governments, have been limited by the subjects 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 society or what
the newest filmmarkers are experimenting with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the
formalized process of schooling.

2. Read the following passage and choose the best answers to the questions. ENVIRONMENTAL ACTIVIST
Paul Watson is an environmental activist. He is a man who believes that he must do something, not just talk
about doing something. Paul believes in protecting endangered animals, and he protects them in controversial ways.
Some people think that Watson is a hero and admire him very much. Other people think that he is a criminal. On
July 16, 1979, Watson and his crew were on his ship, the Sea Shepherd.
Watson and the people who worked on the Sea Shepherd were hunting on the Atlantic Ocean near Portugal.
However, they had a strange prey, instead of hunting for animals, their prey was a ship, the Sierra. The Sea
Shepherd found the Sierra, ran into it and sank it. As a result, the Sierra never returned to the sea. The Sea
Shepherd, on the other hand, returned to its home in Canada. Watson and his workers thought that they had been
successful. The Sierra had been a whaling ship which had operated illegally. The captain and crew of the Sierra did
not obey any of the international laws that restrict whaling. Instead, they killed as many whales as they could,
quickly cut off the meat, and froze it. Later they sold the whale meat in countries where it is eaten. Watson tried to
persuade the international whaling commission to stop the Sierra. However, the commission did very little, and Paul
became impatient. He decided to stop the Sierra and other whaling ships in any way that he could. He offered to pay
$ 25,000 to anyone who sank any illegal ship, and he sank the Sierra. He acted because he believes that whales must
be protected. Still, he acted without the approval of his government; therefore, his actions were controversial .
Paul Watson is not the only environmental activist. Other men and women are also fighting to protect the Earth.
Like Watson, they do not always have the approval of their governments, and like Watson, they become impatient.
Yet, because of their concern for environment, they will act to protect it.
1. An environmental activist is someone who _________ .
A. does something to protect the earth B. runs into whaling ships
C. talk about protecting endangered species D. is hero, like Watson
2. When something is controversial, ___________ .
A. everyone disagrees with it B. everyone agrees with it
C. people have different ideas about it D. people protect it
3. The members of a ship’s crew are the people ___________ . A. who work on the ship B. who work on airplanes
C. on a ship, including the passengers D. who own the ship
4. The main idea of the first paragraph is ___________ .
A. Watson is a hero to some people
B. Paul Watson is a controversial activist
C. activists are people who do something
D. Watson does not believe in talking
5. The Sea Shepherd was hunting ___________ . A. the Atlantic Ocean B. whales C. the Sierra D. Portugal
6. The Sierra did not return to the sea because ___________ . A. the whales ate it B. it was sold in Portugal C. The Sea Shepherd sank it D. None is correct
