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.
 At the beginning of the nineteenth century, the American educational system was desperately in need of reform. Private schools existed, but only for the very rich. There were very few public schools because of the strong sentiment that children who would grow up to be labourers should not “waste” then time on education but should instead prepare themselves for then life’s work. It was in the face of this public sentiment that educational reformers set about then task. Horace Mann, probably the most famous of the reformers, felt that there was no excuse in a republic for any citizen to be uneducated. As Superintendent of Education in the state of Massachusetts from 1837 to 1848, he initiated various changes, which were soon matched in other school districts around the country. He extended the school year from five to six months and improved the quality of teachers by instituting teacher education and raising teacher salaries. Although these changes did not bring about a sudden improvement in the educational system, they at least increased public awareness as to the need for a further strengthening of the system.

A. Massachusetts residents needed something to do with then spare time.
B. all citizens should be educated in a republic. 
C. people had nothing else to do except go to school.
D. education at the time was so cheap.

A. a strong educational background	B. a high level of intelligence
C. good grades	D. a lot of money

A. Horace Mann began raising teachers’ salaries. 
B. Horace Mann was a famous US educational reformer.
C. Horace Mann suggested schools prepare children for their life’s work.

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.
TELEVISION
 Here in Egypt, television has a powerful hold over people's minds. It is an instrument of leisure, of information and - to a very limited extent - of culture. It does not stop people reading newspapers or books, going to the cinema or theatre or watching videos. But these activities are occasional, irregular and ultimately of secondary importance. Television is one of the main subjects of conversation, at school, in offices, at home and in the street, as well as being written about in all the newspapers. It might be said that the main objective of television is to persuade the maximum number of people to watch it for the maximum amount of time. And how effectively the sitcoms and soap operas do that! I do not think that I have ever seen any other country so totally dominated by these shows. Some of them are Egyptian productions but the majority is American. Each episode, each programme, is a talking point for everyone, young and old alike.
Question 46: What does television have over people's mind?
A. A picture.	B. A limit.	C. An impression.	D. An influence. 
Question 47: At school or in offices, television is considered as a topic.....
A. for learning	B. for entertainment	C. for people to talk about	D. for discussion 
Question 48: What might the main objective of television be?
A. To waste time.	B. To get people away from their free time.
C. To allow much time for many people to watch it. 	D. To get people away from their work.
Question 49: Which is the main idea of the passage?
A. Television, an instrument of leisure.	B. Television, the rest of the media and American soaps.
C. Television and its use. 	D. Television, the main subjects of conversation.
Question 50: How often are the sitcoms and soap operas shown on TV?
A. Sometimes.	B. Never. 	C. Rarely. 	D. Usually.
