Task 2: Reading Comprehension
Read the passage and choose the best answer for each question below.
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 filmmakers Page 6/8
are experimenting with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
81. This passage is mainly aimed at ______.
A. listing and discussing several educational problems
B. telling the difference between the meaning of two related words
C. telling a story about excellent teachers
D. giving examples of different schools
82. In the passage, the expression “children interrupt their education to go to school” mostly implies that ______.
A. schooling prevents people discovering things
B. schooling takes place everywhere
C. all of life is an education
D. education is totally ruined by schooling
83. The word “all-inclusive” in the passage mostly means ______.
A. including every thing or everyone
B. going in many directions
C. involving many school subjects
D. allowing no exceptions
84. According to the passage, the doers of education are ______.
A. only respected grandparents
B. mainly politicians
C. mostly famous scientists D. almost all people
85. What does the writer mean by saying “education quite often produces surprises”?
A. It’s surprising that we know little about other religions.
B. Educators often produce surprises.
C. Informal learning often brings about unexpected results.
D. Success of informal learning is predictable.
86. Which of the following would the writer support?
A. Our education system needs to be changed as soon as possible.
B. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.
C. Schooling is of no use because students do similar things every day.
D. Without formal education, people won’t be able to read and write.

A. newest filmmakers
B. political problems
C. workings of governments
D. high school students
88. Because the general pattern of schooling varies little from one setting to the next, school

A. are taught by the same teachers
B. have the same abilities C. do similar things
D. have similar study conditions
89. From the passage, we can infer that a high school teacher ______.
A. is free to choose anything to teach
B. is not allowed to teach political issues
C. is bound to teach programmed subjects D. has to teach social issues to all classes Page 7/8
