 Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions
DRINKING AND DRIVING
 The legal limit for driving after drinking alcohol is 80 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood, when tested. But there is no sure way of telling how much you can drink before you reach this limit. It varies with each person depending on your weight, your sex, if you’ve just eaten and what sort of drinks you’ve had. Some people might reach their limit after only about three standard drinks.
 In fact, your driving ability can be affected by just one or two drinks. Even if you’re below the legal limit, you could still be taken to court if a police officer thinks your driving has been affected by alcohol.
 It takes about an hour for the body to get rid of the alcohol in one standard drink. So, if you have a heavy drinking session in the evening you might find that your driving ability is still affected the next morning, or you could even find that you’re still over the legal limit. In addition, if you’ve had a few drinks at lunchtime, another one or two drinks in the early evening may well put you over the legal limit.
 In a test with professional drivers, the more alcoholic drinks they had had the more certain they were that they could drive a test course through a set of moveable posts.....and the less able they were to do it!
 So the only way to be sure you’re safe is not to drink at all.
 Alcohol is a major cause of road traffic accidents. One in three of the drivers killed in road accidents have levels of alcohol which are over the legal limit, and road accidents after drinking are the biggest cause of death among young men. More than half of the people stopped by the police to take a breathalyzer test have a blood alcohol concentration of more than twice the legal limit.
 It is important to remember that driving after you’ve been drinking doesn’t just affect you. If you’re involved in an accident it affects a lot of other people as well, not least the peron you might kill or injure.
36. The amount of alcohol a person can drink before reaching the legal limit is _______________
 A. 800 milligrams of pure alcohol.	B. approximately three standard drinks.

 A. When you have driven a vehicle after not drinking any alcohol at all.
 B. When you have drunk at least three drinks before driving.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer for each of the questions 
 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 scchooling 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 the 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 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 filmakers are experimenting with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
43. This passage is mainly aimed at ______________
 A. listing and discussing several educational problems. 
 B. telling the difference between the meaning of two related words.
 C. telling a story about excellent teachers.	 
 D. giving examples of different schools.
44. In the passage, the expression “children interrupt their education to go to school” motly implies that _______
 A. schooling prevents people dicovering things.	B. schooling takes place everywhere.
 C. all of life is an education.	D. education is totally ruined by schooling.
45. The word” all-inclusive” in the passage mostly means___________
 A. including everything or everyone	B. going in many directions
 C. involving many school objects	D. allowing no exceptions
46. According to the passage, the doers of education are _______________
 A. only respected grandparents.	 B. mainly politicians. 
 C. mostly famous scientists.	 D. almost all people.
47. Which of the following would the writer support?
 A. Our education system needs to be changed as soon as possible.
 B. Going to school is only one part of how people become educated.
 C. Schooling is of no use because students do similar things everyday.
 D. Without formal education, people won’t be able to read and write.
48. The word “they” in the last paragraph refers to __________________
 A. newest filmakers	B.political problems	
 C. workings of governments	D. high school students
49. From the passage, we can infer that a highschool teacher _______________
