During the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, almost nothing was written about the contributions of women during the colonial period and the early history of the newly formed United States. Lacking the right to vote and absent from the seats of power, women were not considered an important force in history. Anne Bradstreet wrote some significant poetry in the seventeenth century, Mercy Otis Warren produced the best contemporary history of the American Revolution, and Abigail Adams penned important letters showing she exercised great political influence over her husband, John, the second President of the United States. But little or no notice was taken of these contributions. During these centuries, women remained invisible in history books.
Throughout the nineteenth century, this lack of visibility continued, despite the efforts of female authors writing about women. These writers, like most of their male counterparts, were amateur historians. Their writings were celebratory in nature, and they were uncritical in their selection and use of sources.
During the nineteenth century, however, certain feminists showed a keen sense of history by keeping records of activities in which women were engaged. National, regional, and local women's organizations compiled accounts of their doings. Personal correspondence, newspaper clippings, and souvenirs were saved and stored. These sources from the core of the two greatest collections of women's history in the United States one at the Elizabeth and Arthur Schlesinger Library at Radcliffe College, and the other the Sophia Smith Collection at Smith College. Such sources have provided valuable materials for later Generations of historians.
Despite the gathering of more information about ordinary women during the nineteenth Century, most of the writing about women conformed to the "great women" theory of History, just as much of mainstream American history concentrated on "great men." To demonstrate that women were making significant contributions to American life, female authors singled out women leaders and
wrote biographies, or else important women produced their autobiographies. Most of these leaders were involved in public life as reformers, activists working for women's right to vote, or authors, and were not representative at all of the great of ordinary woman. The lives of ordinary people continued, generally, to be untold in the American histories being published.
In the last paragraph, the author mentions all of the following as possible roles of nineteenth- century "great women" EXCEPT 	
reformers	B. politicians
C. activists for women's rights	D. authors
The word "they" in the 2nd paragraph refers to 	
sources	B. efforts	C. authors	D. counterparts
In the first paragraph, Bradstreet, Warren, and Adams are mentioned to show that 	
even the contributions of outstanding women were ignored
poetry produced by women was more readily accepted than other writing by women
only three women were able to get their writing published
a woman's status was changed by marriage
The word "representative" in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to 	_
satisfied	B. typical	C. distinctive	D. supportive
In the 2nd paragraph, what weakness in nineteenth-century histories does the author point out?
The sources of the information they were based on were not necessarily accurate.
They were printed on poor-quality paper.
They left out discussion of the influence of money on politics.
They put too much emphasis on daily activities.
What use was made of the nineteenth-century women's history materials in the Schlesinger Library and the Sophia Smith Collection?
They provided valuable information for twentieth- century historical researchers.
They formed the basis of college courses in the nineteenth century.
They were shared among women's colleges throughout the United States.

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 20 to 27
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 a 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 are experimenting with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
In the passage, the expression "children interrupt their education to go to school" mostly implies that 	.
schooling prevents people discovering things
schooling takes place everywhere
all of life is an education
education is totally ruined by schooling
What does the writer mean by saying "education quite often produces surprises"?
Educators often produce surprises.
Informal learning often brings about unexpected results.
Success of informal learning is predictable.
It's surprising that we know little about other religions.
Which of the following would the writer support?
Without formal education, people won't be able to read and write.
Going to school is only part of how people become educated.
Schooling is of no use because students do similar things every day.
Our education system needs to be changed as soon as possible.
According to the passage, the doers of education are 	.
only respected grandparents	B. mostly famous scientists
C. mainly politicians	D. almost all people
Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
Education and schooling are quite different experience.
The more years students go to school, the better their education is.
Students benefit from schools, which require long hours and homework.
The best schools teach a variety of subjects.
The word "they" in the last paragraph refers to 	.
workings of governments	B. newest filmmakers
C. political problems	D. high school students
The word "all-inclusive" in the passage mostly means 	.
including everything or everyone	B. going in many directions
C. involving many school subjects	D. allowing no exceptions
This passage is mainly aimed at 	.

HOW TO AVOID MISCOMMUNICATION IN THE WORKPLACE
As a small-business owner, you can avoid many problems simply by improving communication in your office. By clarifying everyone's expectations and roles, you'll help to (30) 	greater trust and increased productivity among employees. Here are a few tips for doing so.
Practice active listening. The art of active listening includes (31)	close attention to what
another person is saying, then paraphrasing what you've heard and repeating it back. Concentrate (32)	the conversation at hand and avoid unwanted interruptions (cell phone calls, others walking into your office, etc.). Take note of how your own experience and values may color your perception.
Pay attention to non-verbal cues. We don't communicate with words alone. Every conversation comes with a host of non-verbal cues - facial expressions, body language, etc. - that may (33)	contradict what we're saying. Before addressing a staff member or (34)	a project conference, think carefully about your tone of voice, how you make eye contact, and what your body is "saying." Be consistent throughout.
Be clear and to the point. Don't cloud instructions or requests with irrelevant details, such as problems with past projects or issues with long-departed personnel. State what you need and what you expect. Ask, "Does anyone have any questions?" Demonstrate that you prefer questions up-front as opposed to misinterpretation later on.
