Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. Although people drive in all countries, the rules can be quite different between nations and areas. For this reason, you should always learn the laws before you decide to drive in a foreign country. If you are not careful, you can get into trouble since the rules might be very different from what you are used to. For example, you can find some big differences in laws related to the minimum driving age, the appropriate side of the road to drive on, and mobile phone use while driving. In the U.S., people who live in Alaska may obtain a learner’s permit (legal permission to drive while being supervised) at the age of fourteen. This is quite different from the driving laws of Niger, where a person must be at least twenty-three years old to drive. If you are inquisitive to know the minimum driving age in most countries, the answer is eighteen. It may also surprise you to learn that not every country allows its citizens to drive, although most of them do. For example, women are not allowed to drive in Saudi Arabia no matter how old they are. Instead, they must have a male family member or hired male driver to travel by car. Driving on the right or left side of the road also varies. For instance, in Great Britain, Cyprus, Australia, India, and Malaysia people drive on the left. However, in the U.S., Mexico, France, and Canada people are required to drive on the right. As a matter of fact, one country can have different driving rules for different areas. People in Hong Kong drive on the left, while drivers in other parts of China use the right side of the road..

<span class='text_page_counter'>(4)</span> Other driving laws that are different between countries include those related to using mobile phones. In Japan, using any kind of mobile phone device is illegal, even if you do not need to hold the phone with your hands. However, in Argentina and Australia, drivers are allowed to talk on their mobile phones as long as they do not use their hands. You might also find it interesting to learn that some countries have very unusual laws. For example, in the country of Cyprus, it is against the law to eat or drink anything while driving. Even more interesting is that in Germany, there is a famous road called the Autobahn, where certain parts have no speed limit at all! Question 19: Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. Females can drive a car in Saudi Arabia. B. People in India drive on the right side of the road. C. You can drive as fast as you want on all parts of the German Autobahn. D. You are not allowed to hold your mobile phone and talk while you drive in Australia. Question 20: Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a main difference in driving laws in this passage? A. Drink driving limit. B. Legal driving age. C. Right or left hand traffic. D. Safety calls. Question 21: According to the passage, it is illegal to eat or drink while driving in_______. A. Cyprus. B. Great Britain. C. China. D. Australia. Question 22: It is important to learn the laws before driving in a foreign country because_______. A. It is fun to learn about other countries’ driving laws. B. You can get into trouble when you are not used to another country’s rules. C. You can have a car accident if you do not know the rules. D. It helps you identify the appropriate side of the road to drive on. Question 23: The word “inquisitive” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by _______. A. indifferent. B. concerned. C. nosy. D. curious. Question 24: The word “those” in paragraph 4 refers to_______. A. drivers. B. mobile phones. C. driving laws. Question 25: What is the main idea of the passage? A. Driving in all countries shares a common purpose. B. There are differences in laws related to driving among countries. C. Countries have different ways to enact laws on driving. D. People in different countries drive on different sides of the road.. D. countries.

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions. There is a strange paradox to the success of the Asian education model. On the one hand, class sizes are huge by Western standards with between 30 and 40 students per class, in countries like Japan and Korea. On the other hand, school children in developed Asian economies rank among the highest in the world for academic achievement in the areas of science and mathematics, especially on standardised tests. Meanwhile, British secondary school students fail to shine in conditions most educational researchers would say are far more likely to help them succeed. Classroom management seems to be easier in places like Korea, and perhaps lessons are more effective as a direct consequence. After all, we are only too aware of the decline in discipline standards in our own school: belligerent and disrespectful students appear to be the norm these days. Teachers in Britain seem powerless to control what happens anymore. Surely this situation cannot create a very effective learning environment, so perhaps the number of students is far less relevant than is the manner in which they conduct themselves. But there are other factors to consider, too. There is the home environment. The traditional family unit still remains relatively intact in Korea. Few children come from broken homes, so there is a sense of security, safety and trust both at home and at school. In Britain meanwhile,.

<span class='text_page_counter'>(7)</span> one in every two marriages fails and divorce rates are sky high. Perhaps children struggle to cope with unstable family conditions and their only way to express their frustration is by misbehaving at school. But while the Japanese, Korean and Asian models generally do seem to produce excellent results, the statistics don’t tell the whole truth. You see, behind those great maths and science scores, there is a quite remarkable work ethic. Asian students tend to put their education before literally everything else. They do very few extracurricular activities and devote far more time to their studies than their British peers. There has been a lot of attention and praise given to these Asian models and their “impressive” statistics of late. And without question, some of this praise is justified, but it seems to be a case of two extremes in operation here. At one end, there is the discipline and unbelievably hard work ethic of the Asian students – success in education before all else. At the other end, British students at times appear careless and extremely undisciplined by comparison, but at least they Do have the free time to enjoy their youth and explore their interests. Is either system better outright? Or is it perhaps about time we stopped comparing and started trying to combine the best bits of both, so that we can finally offer our students a balanced, worthwhile education Question 43: The word “They” in paragraph 4 refers to_______. A. British students. B. Asian students. C. Korean students. D. Japanese students. Question 44: British secondary school students_______. A. have larger class sizes. B. fail at school more than they succeed. C. do better on stadardised tests. D. enjoy better classroom conditions.
