Punishment gives the message that “might make right” that it is okay to hurt someone smaller and less powerful than you are. The child then feels it is appropriate to mistreat younger or smaller children, and when he becomes an adult, feels little (27) ___________for those less fortunate or powerful than he is, and fears those whoare more so. Thus it is difficult for him to find (28) ___________friendships. Children learn best through parental modeling. Punishment gives the message that hitting is an appropriate way to express one’s feelings and to solve problems.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 30 to 34.

            Upon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts on which the hopes for the new democracy were pinned was the ideal that its citizens would be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and the opportunity for individual achievement and education. It was believed that in a free nation where the power belongs to the people, the commitment to education defines the progress of that democracy and is the catalyst for future progress. This core value has not only stood the test of time but has also grown in importance. In this new information era and international economy, education is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of change. It is important to recognize, however, that we approach educa¬tion today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn’t require the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled, and 60 percent as unskilled.

            Today, our world has changed.The proportion of unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while skilled jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce. Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime.

Question 30: Education is defined in this passage as a driving force of change because___________.

            A.        without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far

            B.        the government of the United States want to drive social changes in their own ways

            C. education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce

            D. any American citizen who wants to change his driving licence must be very well-educated Question 31: The word “its” refers to___________.

            A. the United States   B. the new democracy            C. the concept D. the opportunity

Question 32: The phrase “enlightened individuals” in the first sentence most likely means “people who___________”

            A.        always appear brilliant-looking in public

            B.        have often been well-exposed to light

            C. have acquired an adequate level of education

            D. bring light to anywhere they go

Question 33: In order to become a good American citizen today, in the author’s point of view, any individual must___________.

            A.        know well all his/ her rights and be ready to grasp his/ her opportunity of success in life

            B.        study carefully the history of American educational and vocational systems even since their creation

            C. understand thoroughly the combination of academic knowledge and practical skills

            D. move actively forward in the new Information Era and international economy with a prestigious diploma

Question 34: Which of the following titles would be best for the passage?

            A.        Education and Jobs in the Past and at Present in the United States

            B.        The Significant Role of Education in American Citizens’ Careers

            C. Academic Knowledge and Practical Skills in American Professions

            D. Recent Changes of Educational and Vocational Systems in America

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 35 to 42.

            When you ask a child what they would like to be when they grow up, common responses might include firefighter, pilot, doctor, or athlete. But those jobs don’t capture the attention of all kids. Take Will Shortzas an example. In grade 8, at the age of 14, Will had to write an essay about what he wanted to do with his life. He wrote about his desire to become a puzzle maker - someone who creates games and puzzles, such as sudoku or crossword puzzles. In the same year, he sold his first puzzle to the magazine Venture. By the age of sixteen, Will was regularly contributing puzzles to magazines.

            In college, Will found that there was no traditional way to study puzzles or become a puzzle maker. There were no classes offered on puzzles. Fortunately, after becoming bored with his economics studies, Will learned that his university offered a special program that allowed students to suggest and create unique fields of study. After creating and completing two courses on word and math puzzles, Will switched his major to enigmatology - the study of puzzles.

            Will and his professors then created new classes that explored all aspects of puzzle-making. He studied the history, construction, and psychology of puzzles mostly on his own. Because there were no professors of enigmatology, Will realized that he probably was the only student at his university to know more about his field than any of his professors!

            He did well in school, but upon graduating, Will did not know how to get a job creating puzzles. For summer work, he joined the magazine Penny Press, where he realized that he could find work as a puzzle editor. Will then found a job creating and editing puzzles for Games magazine. This seemed like a dream job because he could create new kinds of puzzles and be surrounded by great puzzle makers.

            After fifteen years at Games, Will accepted a position as the editor of The New York Times’ crossword puzzle. When he first joined, the newspaper’s crossword puzzle was seen as very difficult, and few readers could complete it. Will made fundamental changes, such as including everyday language in the clues and answers so that many more people could enjoy it. Today, he is credited with making the crossword appealing to a wider audience. Some of Will’s most famous puzzles have related to the news for that day, such as the name of the winning president on Election Day, and a love-themed puzzle on Valentine’s Day.
