Read the following passage carefully, choose the item (A, B, C, or D) that best answer each of the questions about it.

            Normally a student must attend a certain number of courses in order to graduate, and each course which he attends gives him a credit which he may count towards a degree. In many American universities the total work for a degree consists of three classes per week for fifteen weeks; while attending university a student will probably attend two terms each year. It is possible to spread to period of work for the degree over a longer period. It is also possible for a student to move between one university and another during his degree course, though this is not in fact done as a regular practice.

For every course that he follows a student is given a grade, which is recorded, and the record is useful for the student to show to coming employers. Most of the students feel the pressure of work, but in spite of this some students still find time for great activity in student affairs. The students are interested in elections to positions in student organization. The effective work of keeping orders is usually performed by students who advise the university authorities. Any student who is thought to have broken the rules, for example, by cheating has to appear before a student court. With the large numbers of students, the operation of the system includes a certain amount of activity. A student who has held one of these positions is much respected and it will be of importance to him later in his career.

Read the passage and choose the best answer

The nuclear family, consisting of a mother, father, and their children, may be more an American ideal than an American reality. Of course, the so-called traditional American family was always more varied than we had been led to believe, reflecting the very different racial, ethnic, class, and religious customs among American groups. The most recent government statistics reveal that only about one third of all current American families fit the traditional mold and another third consists of married couples who either have no children or have none still living at home. Of the final one, about 20 percent of the total number of American households are single people, usually women over sixty-five years old. A small percentage, about 3 percent of the total, consists of unmarried people who choose to live together, and the rest, about 7 percent, are single, usually divorced parents, with at least one child. Today, these varied family types are typical, and therefore, normal. Apparently, many Americans are achieving supportive relationships in family forms other than the traditional one.

1. With what topic is the passage mainly concerned?

  A. The traditional American family.                     B. The nuclear family.

  C. The current American family.             D. The ideal family. 

2. The author implies that ………………………….

  A. there have always been a wider variety of family arrangements in the United States.

  B. racial, ethnic, and religious groups have presented the traditional family structure.

  C. the ideal American family in the best structure.

  D. fewer married couples are having children.

3. The word “current” in the fourth sentence could be best replaced by which of the following?

  A. typical                 B. present                  C. perfect                   D. traditional

4. According to the passage, married couples whose children have grown or who have no children represent ……………………..

  A. 33 percent of households.                  B. 20 percent of households.

  C. 7 percent of households.                                D. 3 percent of households.

5. Who generally constitutes a one-person household?

  A. A single man in his twenties.              B. A elderly man.

  C. A single woman in her late sixties.    D. A divorced woman.

Read the passage and choose the best answer

Like schools in Britain and other English speaking countries, those in the US 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 their own 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 schools 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 moving 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, they also help develop a feeling of “school spirit” among the students and in the community .

1. How many hours do the children stay at school a day?

A. eight                                B. seven                    C. six                          D. four

2. Which extracurricular school activities are not mentioned?

 A. writing newspapers       B. singing in a choir C. helping old people          D. working in a radio station

3. Which sports facilities are not mentioned in the text?

A. swimming pools              B. tennis courts                    C. playground                       D. stadiums

4. What do the students do to support school activities?

A. look after a baby              B. repair cars                        C. sell lawn movers D. sell newspapers

5. Which activities are not helped by parents and local business?

A. performing at a state music competition

B. working in a TV station

C. playing in a sport competition
