Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the
correct word or phrase that best fits each of the numbered blanks from 36 to 42.
Education is an issue which concerns many people in the UK as well as round the world. In England, Wales
and Northern Ireland pupils sit GCSE (General Certificate in Secondary Education) exams followed 2 years later by
A (Advanced) levels. Pupils in Scotland follow a different system, finishing their time at school with the Higher
Leaving Certificate. One particular worry - why are boys doing so badly?
Some twenty years ago, the performance of girls and boys in class was compared. Boys scored better in
exams, so various measures were introduced to improve the performance of girls, including having single sex girlonly classes. Now, the situation is reversed, with girls consistently out-performing boys.
So, what has gone wrong with boys, and what can be done about it? John Dunsford, leader of the
association of head teachers of secondary schools, says that that the academic failure of boys is a problem which
has its roots in society rather than the classroom. Girls, more than boys, see education as a passport to a
good job. On the other hand, according to Penny Lewis, a head teacher, young men lack confidence, which they
hide with a show of bravado. They’re uncertain about their place in society. Some boys grow up in families
where there is no male role model to follow.
Moreover, boys may learn in a different way to girls, preferring small amounts of work with immediate
deadlines rather than large projects stretching into the distance. And education is not seen as “cool”.
As one contributor to a BBC website put it, “Girls achieve more at school because they are watching the
future while the boys are watching the girls.”
This is not just a problem in Britain. In a study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and
Development and UNESCO, girls out-performed boys at reading at the age of 15 in all 45 countries. The UK ranks
ninth out of the 45 countries for reading despite the fact that pupils in the UK spend less time reading than in
most other countries. Interestingly, the study suggested that British children read for pleasure more often than
those in other countries.

(Source: />Question 36: Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A. Boys have always scored better in exams than girls.
B. Boys pay too much attention to girls to learn well at school.
C. Boys don’t do well at school because of what happens in class.
D. Boys prefer to work on large projects.
Question 37: What does the author mean by the phrase “see education as a passport” in the passage?

C. Girls regard education as a way of enabling them to go further and do more in life.
D. Girls think that learning is the key to the opportunity to go to many countries in the world.
Question 38: Some boys are not sure of themselves because of ______.
A. their lack of family support
B. their financial capability
C. their low self-esteem
D. their family situations

The economic growth that many nations in Asia and increasingly Africa have experienced over the past
couple of decades has transformed hundreds of millions of lives – almost entirely for the better. But there’s a
byproduct to that growth, one that’s evident – or sometimes less than evident – in the smoggy, smelly skies
above cities like Beijing, New Delhi and Jakarta. Thanks to new cars and power plants, air pollution is bad and
getting worse in much of the world, and it’s taking a major toll on global health.
How big? According to a new analysis published in the Lancet, more than 3.2 million people suffered
deaths from air pollution in 2010, the largest number on record. That’s up from 800,000 in 2000. And it’s a
regional problem: 65% of those deaths occurred in Asia, where the air is choked by diesel soot from cars and
trucks, as well as the song from power plants and the dust from endless urban construction. In East Asia and
China, 1.2 million people died, as well as another 712,000 in South Asia, including India. For the first time ever,
air pollution is on the world’s top – 10 list of killers, and it’s moving up the ranks faster than any other factor.
So how can air pollution be so damaging? It is the very finest soot – so small that it roots deep within the
lungs and then enters the bloodstream – that contributes to most of the public – health toll of air pollution
including death. Diesel soot, which can also cause cancer, is a major problem because it is concentrated in cities
along transportation zones affecting overpopulated areas. It is thought to contribute to half the deaths from air
pollution in urban centers. For example, 1 in 6 people in the U.S. live near a diesel – pollution hot spot like a rail
yard, port terminal or freeway.
We also know that air pollution may be linked to other non-deadly diseases. Fortunately in the U.S. and
other developed nations, urban air is for the most part cleaner than it was 30 or 40 years ago, thanks to
regulations and new technologies like the catalytic converters that reduce automobile emissions. Govemments are

also pushing to make air cleaner – see the White House’s move last week to further tighten soot standards. It’s
not perfect, but we’ve had much more success dealing with air pollution than climate change.
Will developing nations like India eventually catch up? Hopefully – though the problem may get worse
before it gets better. The good news is that it doesn’t take a major technological advance to improve urban air.
Switching from diesel fuel to unleaded helps, as do newer and cleaner cars which are less likely to send out
pollutants. Power plants – even ones that burn mineral fuels like coal – can be fitted with pollution – control
equipment that, at a price, will greatly reduce smog and other pollutants.
But the best solutions may involve urban design. In the Guardian, John Vidal notes that Delhi now has
200 cars per 1,000 people, far more than much richer Asian cities like Hong Kong and Singapore. Developing
cities will almost certainly see an increase in car ownership as residents become wealthier – and that doesn’t have
to mean deadly air pollution. Higher incomes should also lead to tougher environmental regulations, which is
exactly what happened in the West. We can only hope it happens before the death toll from bad air gets even
higher.
