Section

–

reading

I. Read

the following passage, and then

choose

the best answer from A,

B, C or D.

Accreditation

is

a

system

for

setting

national

standards

of

quality

in

education.

The

United
States

is

unique

in

the

world

because

its

accreditation

is

not

administered

by

the

government,

but
rather

by

committees

of

educators

and

private

agencies

like

the

Middle

State

Association

of
Colleges

and

Secondary

School

and

the

Society

of

Engineers.

Before

registering

to

study

in

any

education

institution

in

the

United

States,

a

student

should
make

certain

that

the

institution

is

accredited

in

order

to

assure

that

the

school

has

a

recognized
standard

of

organization,

instruction,

and

financial

support.

Foreign

students

should

be

particularly




careful

to

check

an

institution’s

accreditation

because

other

government

or

future

employers

may

not

recognize

a

degree

earned

from

a

school

that

has

not

received

accreditation.

If

a

college

is

accredited,

catalogs

and

brochures

will

usually

indicate

the

accreditation

status.

If

you

are

not

sure

about

a

certain

school,

don’t

hesitate

to

check

its

reputation

with

an

education
officer

at

the

nearest

US

embassy.
