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 all-inclusive 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 36: What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The best school teach a wide variety of subjects
B. Education and schooling are quite different experiences


C. Students benefit from schools, which require long hours and homework
D. The more years students go to school, the better their education is
Question 37: What does the author probably mean by using the expression children interrupt their
education to go to school?
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.
Question 38: The word chance in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to________.
A. unplanned

B. unusual
C. lengthy
D. lively
Question 39: The word an integral in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to________.
A. an equitable
B. a profitable
C. a pleasant
D. an essential
Question 40: The word they in the third paragraph refers to________.

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.
The ideas of John Dewey, philosopher and educator, have influenced American thought for
over one hundred years. Dewey was born in Vermont in 1859, and throughout hi life he kept the
respect for experience, individuality, and fair play that shaped the character of the nineteenth
century Vermonter. He viewed his own life as a continuously reconstructive process with experience
and knowledge building on each other.

By the 1930s, Dewey had simplified his theory of experience to its essence. As the
intellectual leader of the progressive schools, he asserted that there was danger in rejecting the old
unless the new was rooted in a connect idea of experience. He held that experience is an interaction
between what a person already knows and the situation at hand. Previous knowledge interacting
with the present environment influences future experience.
Dewey believed that experience could not be equated with education because all experiences
as not necessarily educative. Experience is educative only when it contributes to the growth of the
individual, but it can be miseducative if it distorts the growth of further experience. It is the quality
of experience that matters. Thus, productive experience is both the means and the goal of education.
Furthermore, since education is a social process, truly progressive education involves the
participation of the learner in directing the learning experience.
During his long life, Dewey lectured and published prolifically. These writings were
influential both during his lifetime and after his death at the age of ninety-two. He viewed his whole
life as an experiment which would produce knowledge that would lead to further experimentation.
The range and diversity of Dewey’s writings and his influence on society place him among
American’s great thinkers.
