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
It is commonly believed in the United States 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 distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished 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 are engaged in 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 an integral 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 approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject 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 communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
Question 36: What is the main idea of the passage?
	A. The best school teach a wide variety of subjects

	C. Students benefit from schools, which require long hours and homework
	D. The more years students go to school, the better their education is
Question 37: What does the author probably mean by using the expression children interrupt their education to go to school?
	A. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.
	B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year.
	C. Summer school makes the school year too long.
	D. All of life is an education.
Question 38: The word chance in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to______.
	A. unplanned	B. unusual	C. lengthy	D. lively
Question 39: The word an integral in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to______.
	A. an equitable	B. a profitable	C. a pleasant	D. an essential
Question 40: The word they in the third paragraph refers to ______.
