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 organised 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.

corresponding letter A, B, C, or D. Mark your choice on the answer sheet.
It is a characteristic of human nature that people like to get together and have fun, and people live during
America's frontier days were no exception. However, because life was hard and the necessities of day-to-day living took
up their time, it was common for recreation to be combined with activities necessary for survival. One example of such a
form of recreation was logrolling. Many frontier areas were heavily wooded, and in order to settle an area it was necessary
to remove the trees. A settler could cut down the trees alone, but help was needed to move the cut trees. After a settler had
cut a bunch of trees, he would then invite his neighbors over for a logrolling.
A logrolling is a community event where families got together for a combination of work and fun. The women
would bring food and have a much needed and infrequent opportunity to relax and chat with friends, the children would
play together exuberantly, and the men would hold lively competitions that involved rolling logs from place to place as
quickly as possible. This was a day of fun for everyone involved, but as its foundation was the need to clear the land.

Education in Bolivia, as in many other areas of Bolivia life, has a divide between Bolivia’s rural and urban areas.
Rural illiteracy levels remain high, even as the rest of the country becomes increasingly literate. This disparity stems
partly from the fact my children living in rural areas are forced to contribute economically to their family households and
thus are much less likely to attend school. On average, children from rural areas attend school for 4.2 years, while

children in urban areas receive an average of 9.4 years of education. A gender divide also exists. Females, on average,
receive about 1.5 years less schooling than males. The female illiteracy rate is 19.6% while that for males is 7.7%. The
country's illiteracy level as a whole, 13-14%, is comparably higher than in other South American countries. The
problems with Bolivia education are not necessarily attributable to lack of funding. Boliva devotes 23% of its annual
budget to educational expenditures, a higher percentage than in most other South American countries, albeit from a
smaller national budget. A comprehensive seven-year plan of education reform has made some significant changes.
Initiated in 1994, the plan decentralized educational funding in order to meet diverse local needs, improved teacher
training and curricula, and changed the school grade system. Resistance from teachers Unions, however, has slowed
implementation of some of the intended reforms.

Questions 35 - 39: Read the following passage and then choose the best answer to the questions by circling the
corresponding letter A, B, C, or D. Mark your choice on the answer sheet.
The origins of baseball probably stretch back to 1839 when Abler Doubleday, a civil engineer student, laid out a
diamond-shaped field at Cooperstown, New York, and attempted to standardize the rules governing the playing of such
games as town ball and four old cats, the ancestor of baseball. By the end of the Civil War, interest in the game had grown
rapidly. Over 200 teams or clubs existed, some of which toured the country playing rivals; they belonged to a national
association of "Baseball Players" that had proclaimed a set of standard rules. These teams are amateurs or semiprofessionals, but as the game waxed in popularity, it offered opportunities for profit, and the first professional team, the
Cincinnati Red Stockings, appeared in 1869. Other cities soon fielded professional teams, and in 1876 the present
National League was organized chiefly by Albert Spalding. Soon a rival league appeared, the American Association.
Competition between the two was intense, and in 1883 they played a post-season contest, the first "world's series". The
American Association eventually collapsed, but in 1890 the American League was organized.
