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

Educating children at home as an alternative to formal education is an option chosen by families in
many parts of the world. The homeschooling movement is popular in the United States, where close to
one million children are educated at home. In Canada 1 percent of school-age children are homeschooled,
and the idea also enjoys growing popularity in Australia, where 20,000 families homeschool their
children. The movement is not limited to these countries. Homeschooling families can be found all over
the world, from Japan to Taiwan to Argentina to South Africa.

Homeschooling is not a novel idea. In fact, the idea of sending children to spend most of their day
away from home at a formal school is a relatively new custom. In the United States, for example, it was
not until the latter part of the nineteenth century that state governments began making school attendance
compulsory. Before that, the concept of a formal education was not so widespread. Children learned the
skills they would need for adult life at home from tutors or their parents, through formal instruction or by
working side by side with the adults of the family.

In the modern developed world, where the vast majority of children attend school, families choose
homeschooling for a variety of reasons. For people who live in remote areas, such as the Australian
outback or the Alaskan Wilderness, homeschooling may be their only option. Children who have
exceptional talents in the arts or other areas may be homeschooled so that they have more time to devote
to their special interests. Much of the homeschooling movement is made up of families who, for various
reasons, are dissatisfied with the schools available to them. They may have a differing educational
philosophy, they may be concerned about the safety of the school environment, or they may feel that the
local schools cannot adequately address their children's educational needs. Although most families
continue to choose a traditional classroom education for their children, homeschooling as an alternative
educational option is becoming more popular.

Question 9: Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. The origin of homeschooling.

B. A new form of school: Homeschooling

C. Homeschooling option: a common form of education all over the world.
D. The reasons why children should be educated at home.

Question 10: What does the word “that” in paragraph 2 refer to?

A. the former part of the 19th century B. the end of the 19th century
C. the second half of the 19th century D. the beginning of the 19th century
Question 11: The word "widespread" in paragraph 2 mostly means _________.

A. uncommon B. customary C. exceptional D. prevalent

Question 12: According to the passage, the following are true about the homeschooling, EXCEPT
_________.

A. Many families in both developed and developing countries choose to educate their children at
home.

B. Parents or tutors were the ones who taught the children necessary skills in society.
C. People got familiar with school attendance before choosing to learn at home.
D. Before modern times, most students did not attend the school.

Question 13: As mentioned in the last paragraph, children in rural areas _________.
A. are not contented with the philosophy of the schools available.

B. believe that their needs to study is more than what a normal school can provide.
C. have no choice but stay at home to learn.

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

Body language is a vital form of communication. In fact, it is believed that the various forms of

body language contribute about 70 percent to our comprehension. It is important to note, however, that
body language varies in different cultures. Take for example, eye movement. In the USA a child is
expected to look directly at a parent or teacher who is scolding him/her. In other cultures the opposite is
true. Looking directly at a teacher or parent in such a situation is considered a sign of disrespect.

Another form of body language that is used differently, depending on the culture, is distance. In
North America people don't generally stand as close to each other as in South America. Two North
Americans who don't know each other well will keep a distance of four feet between them, whereas South
Americans in the same situation will stand two to three feet apart. North Americans will stand closer than
two feet apart only if they are having a confidential conversation or if there is intimacy between them.

Gestures are often used to communicate. We point a finger, raise an eyebrow, wave an arm – or
move any other part of the body – to show what we want to say. However, this does not mean that people
all over the world use the same gestures to express the same meanings. Very often we find that the same
gestures can communicate different meanings, depending on the country. An example of a gesture that
could be misinterpreted is sticking out the tongue. In many cultures it is a sign of making a mistake, but
in some places it communicates ridicule.

The dangers of misunderstanding one another are great. Obviously, it is not enough to learn the
language of another culture. You must also learn its non-verbal signals if you want to communicate
successfully.
