Parents whose children show a special interest in a particular sport have a difficult decision to (30)

their children to train to become top sportsmen and
women? For many children it (32)
starting very young and school work, going out with friends and
other (33)
have to take second place. It’s very difficult to explain to a young child why he or she has to
train for five hours a day, even at the weekend, when (34)
of his or her friends are playing.
Another problem is of course money. In many countries money for training is (35)
from the
government for the very best young sportsmen and women. If this help cannot be given, it means that it is the
parents (36)
have to find the time and the money to support their child’s development- and sports
clothes, transport to competitions, special equipment etc. can all be very expensive.
Many parents are understandably (37)
that it is dangerous to start serious training in a sport at an early

age. Some doctors agree that young (38)
may be damaged by training before they are properly
developed. Professional trainers, however, believe that it is only by starting young that you can reach the top as a
successful sports person. What is clear is that very (39)
people reach the top and both parents and
children should be prepared for failure even after many years of training.

VII. 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 from 46 to 55.
Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at home. In fact, the U.S.
Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children were being homeschooled. Some
educational experts say that the real number is double this estimate, and the ranks of homeschooled children
seem to be growing at the average rate of about eleven percent every year. At one time, there was a theory
accounting for homeschooling: it was traditionally used for students who could not attend school because of
behavioral or learning difficulties. Today, however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating
their own children at home due to their dissatisfaction with the educational system. Many parents are unhappy
about class size, as well as problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of funding mean that, in
many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students. The children are, therefore, deprived of the
attention they need. Escalating classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children
from school.
Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the U.S. has become a multimillion dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger. There are now plenty of websites, support groups,
and conventions that help parents protect their rights and enable them to learn more about educating their
children. Though once it was the only choice for troubled children, homeschooling today is an accepted
alternative to an educational system that many believe is failing.

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done with care. View a career
as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to earn a living. Investing the time and effort
to thoroughly explore your options can mean the difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career
and move from job to unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually every
aspect of your life, from your choice of friends to where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to consider.
Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want to begin by
assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes, hobbies, and surroundings
that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as “Would you like to travel ? Do you want to work
with children ? Are you more suited to solitary or cooperative work ?” There are no right or wrong answers ;
only you know what is important to you.
Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer, and which ones you cannot accept.
Then rank them in order of importance to you. The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You
may not want to sit at a desk all day. If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real

estate agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be a concern,
and employment in some fields is concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job can generally be found only
in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found
in all regions of the country.If a high salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages.
Many jobs, such as insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases
along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission.
Don’t rule out any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or negative

associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a plumber does not.
Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may have merits or demerits that are less
obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly
paid as some doctors. Another point to consider is that as you get mature, you will likely to develop new
interests and skills that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your
final one.
