Traditional methods of teaching no longer suffice
in this technological world. Currently there are more
than 100,000 computers in schoolrooms in the
United States. Students mediocre and bright alike,
from the first stage through high school not only are
not intimidated by my computers, but have become
avid participants in the computer epoch.
Kids operating computer implement their
curriculum with great versatility. A music student
can program musical notes so that the computer will
play Beethoven or the Beatles. For a biology class,
the computer can produce a picture of the intricate
envisage human biology in a profound way. A
nuclear reactor is no longer an enigma to students


who can see its workings in minute detail on a
computer. In Wisconsi, the Chippewa Indians are
studying their ancient and almost forgotten language
with the aid of a computer. More commonly, the
computer is used for drilling math and language
concepts so that youngsters may learn at their own
speed without trying the patience of their human
teachers. The simplest computers aid the
handicapped, who learn more rapidly from the
computer than from humans. Once irksome,
remedial drills and exercises now on computer are

conducive to learning because the machine responds
to correct answers with praise and to incorrect
answers with frowns and even an occasional tear.
Adolescents have become so exhilarated by
computers that they have developed their own
jargon, easily understood by their peers but leaving
their disconcerted parents in the dark. They have
shown so much fervor for computer that they have
formed computer clubs, beguile their leisure hours in
computer stores, and even attend computer camps. A
Boy Scout can get a computer merit badge. One
ingenious young student devised a computer game


for Atari will earn him $100,000 in royalties This is
definitely the computer age. Manufacturers of
computers are presently getting tax write – offs for
donating equipment to colleges and universities and
are pushing for legislation to obtain further
deductions for contributions to elementary and high
school. Furthermore, the price of computer for home
or office is being sold for less than $100. At that
price every class in the country will soon have
computer kids.

Exercise 2: 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.
It is commonly believed in the United States that
school is where people go to get an education.
Nevertheless, it has been said that today children


interrupt their education to go to school. The
distinction between schooling and education implied
by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and allinclusive than schooling. Education knows no
bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the
shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a
tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes
place in schools and the whole universe of informal
learning. The agents of education can range from a
revered grandparent to the people debating politics
on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist.
Whereas schooling has a certain predictability,

education quite often produces surprises. A chance
conversation with a stranger may lead a person to
discover how little is known of other religions.
People are engaged in education from infancy on.
Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is
a lifelong process, a process that starts long before
the start of school, and one that should be an integral
part of one's entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific,
formalized process, whose general pattern varies


little from one setting to the next. Throughout a
country, children arrive at school at approximately
the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an
adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take
exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be
learned, whether they are the alphabet or an
understanding of the workings of government, have
usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject
being taught. For example, high school students
know that they are not likely to find out in their
classes the truth about political problems in their
communities or what the newest filmmakers are
experimenting with. There are definite conditions
surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
Question 1: What does the author probably mean by
using the expression “children interrupt their
education to go to school” (lines 2-3) ?
A. Going to several different schools is

educationally beneficial.
B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the
school year.
C. Summer school makes the school year too long.


D. All of life is an education.

giáo dục không chỉ dừng lại ở việc tới trường học.

Exercise 3: 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.
Orchids are unique in having the most highly
developed of all blossoms, in which the usual male
and female reproductive organs are fused in a single
structure called the column. The column is designed
so that a single pollination will fertilize hundreds of
thousands, and in some cases millions, of seeds, so


microscopic and light they are easily carried by the
breeze. Surrounding the column are three sepals and
three petals, sometimes easily recognizable as such,
often distorted into gorgeous, weird, but always

functional shapes. The most noticeable of the petals
is called the labellum, or lip. It is often dramatically
marked as an unmistakable landing strip to attract
the specific insect the orchid has chosen as its
pollinator.
To lure their pollinators from afar, orchids use
appropriately intriguing shapes, colors, and scents.
At least 50 different aromatic compounds have been
analyzed in the orchid family, each blended to attract
one, or at most a few, species of insects or birds.
Some orchids even change their scents to interest
different insects at different times.
Once the right insect has been attracted, some
orchids present all sorts of one-way obstacle courses
to make sure it does not leave until pollen has been
accurately placed or removed. By such ingenious
adaptations to specific pollinators, orchids have
avoided the hazards of rampant crossbreeding in the
wild, assuring the survival of species as discrete


identities. At the same time they have made
themselves irresistible to collectors.

ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer.

began to think how to make a grand entrance at the
party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot
of attention if he could skate into the room. Merlin
tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he
decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These
were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of
his invention as he dreamed of arriving at the party
on wheels while playing the violin.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the
room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to
see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no
way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on.
