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.

Like schools in Britain and other English speaking countries, those in the U.S have also
always stressed "character" or "social" skills through extracurricular activities, including
organized sports. Because most schools start at around 8 o'clock every morning and classes
often do not finish until 3 or 4 o'clock in the afternoon, such activities mean that many students
do not return home until the early evening. There is usually a very broad range of
extracurricular activities available. Most schools, for instance, publish their own student
newspapers, and some have their own radio stations. Almost all have student orchestras, bands,
and choirs.
Many different sports are also available and most schools share their facilities -
swimming pools, tennis courts, tracks, and stadiums - with the public. Often the students
themselves organize and support school activities and raise money through car washes, baby-
sitting, or by mowing lawns. Parents and local business often also help a group that, for
example, has a chance to go to a state music competition, to compete in some sports
championship, or take a camping trip. Such activities not only give pupils a chance to be
together outside of normal classes, they also help develop a feeling of "school spirit" among
the students and in the community.
