Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the 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 in infancy. 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 to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of
government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of 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 communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions
surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
24. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The best school teach a wide variety of subject.
B. Education and schooling are quite different experiences.
C. Students benefit from schools, which require long hours and homework.
D. The more years students go to school, the better their education is.
25. The word "chance" in paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to ____.
A. unexpected B. usual C. passive D. lively
26. The word "they" in paragraph 3 refers ____.
A. slices of reality B. similar textbooks C. boundaries D. seats
27. The phrase "For example" in paragraph 3, introduces a sentence that gives examples of ____.
A. similar textbooks. B. the results of schooling.
C. the workings of a government. D. the boundaries of the subjects.
28. The passage support which of the following conclusions?
A. Without formal education, people would remain ignorant.
B. Education systems need to be radically reformed.
C. Going to school is only part of how people become educated.
D. Education involves many years of professional training.

VII. Give the correct form of the words in brackets to complete the following sentences. (0.5 points)
29. The ____________park is protected by the government . (NATION)
30. We can post photos of __________- friendly activities on social media . (ENVIRONMENT)
