j. After breakfast, I sent the children to school and then I went to market. It was
still early when I returned home. The children were at school, my husband was
at work and the house was quite. So I decided to make some tarts for tea. In a
short time I was busy mixing butter and flour and my hands were soon
covered with sticky pastry. At exactly that moment, telephone rang. Nothing
could have been more annoying. I picked up the receiver between two sticky
fingers and was dismayed when I recognize the voice of Mrs. Bates. It took
me ten minutes to persuade her to ring back later. At last I hung up the
receiver. What a mess! There was pastry on my fingers, on the telephone, and
on the door-knobs. I had no sooner got back to the kitchen than the door-bell

bh.
bi. SHOULD NOT BRING MOBILE PHONE TO SCHOOL
bj. Recently most people own mobile phone. Why does mobile phone user
increase dramatically in recent years? First, the feature and functions has
increased. Mobile phone is not used just for calling, but sending text, taking
pictures, recording videos, accessing internet, playing games and much more.
Second, mobile phone has also become a lot cheaper. Now this
communication device does not only fill the pocket of adult but also teenager
and student. Even a lot phones are intentionally designed to teenaged market.
However shoult they be allowed to bring them to school?
bk.
Many schools do not allow students to bring cell phones to school. It is
very reasonable because bringing phone to school potentially disrupts the
learning process. Most students use cell phones irresponsibly. They use cell
phones to talk to their friend during class time. They also use the calculator
and camera features in the class as well. Those potentially lead less
concentration in the time of learning and teaching process.
bl.
Students go to school to learn and behave fair way. Mobile phones
provide a large temptation to cheat in tests. They can communicate to anyone
and almost anywhere in the world. Because of the small size of the cell phone,
students can send a text quetly and assignment. Learning in the school is to
behave fair not cheating.

bm.
Therefore, school should ban students from bringing their cell
phones. However it should be done fairly. In case of an emergency some
student need a call for help, providing easy access to phone is better.
bn.
40. The following are reasons that many school do not allow the students bring cell phone
to school, EXCEPT....
a. Most students use cell phones responsibly.
b. Mobile phones provide a large temptation to cheat in tests.
c. Bringing phone to school potentially distrupts the learning process.
d. The students use cell phones to talk to their friend during class time.
e. The students use the calculator and camera features in the class as well.

41. According to the text, why do mobile phones provide a large tempation to cheat in
tests?

c. Mobile phone can use to connect the Net.
d. Mobile phones are really use in emergency situation.
e. The next can go unnoticed anywhere to get help on answering tests.

bs. The following text is for questions 43 to 45.
bt.
bu. Using Calculator
bv. Pocket calculators are as cheap to buy as a pair of shoes, and as essencial to
thousands of school children as a pencil and eraser. School have tried to limit
their use by allowing them in science classes, to save time, but by not allowing
them to be used in math classes. However when children do their homework, a
pocket calculator is a must. Nowadays in the U.S. calculators can be used in
school examination, and already in many schools the only sound to be heard
during a math examination is the sound of children tapping out their answers.
bw.
Many parents feel that their children are not being given a basic
understanding of facts of figures. The process of addition, division,
subtraction, and multification is a part of training in logic which is important
for every child. It teaches them to take the series of steps necessary in coming
to a conclusion. Says a local math teacher. With a calculator, the child can
reach the right answer but have no idea at all how he got there.
bx.
Of course the children understand the principle behind what they do
on the calculator. It makes no different to the mental processes they go
through, except to make them far quicker, and less boring.

by.

Its far easier to teach them to grasp the idea of division and
multiplication by making them understand which button they need to push
than to talk about apples being cut into pieces, said another teacher, who uses
the calculators to keep the interest of his class.
bz.
In any case the pocket calculator is here to stay: it making the strain
out of mental arithmetic in all kind of ways.
ca.
43. What is the topic of the passage?
a. It is easy to use a calculator.
b. Prohibition of using a calculator.
c. Every student needs a calculator.
d. A calculator is a tool to get the right answer.
e. Pros and cons of using a calculator among the students.
44. Its far easier to teach them to grasp the idea of division and multiplication ..
cb. The underline phrase means ....
a. Reaching the steps
b. Getting the principle
c. Getting the right answer
d. Understanding the meaning clearly
e. Removing the great effort required to do something
45. School allow the students use the calculator in science classes, to ...
a. Save time
b. Teach easier
c. Keep interest
d. Solve the problem faster
e. Train the mental arithmetic

cg. Many of us are dismayed about the quality of our education, which is not
commensurate with the high cost spent on school fees. It is way below our
expectations if we compare our graduates with those who studied overseas,
especially concerning the mastery of English.
ch. It is important to know that most of employments require competence in
English, for office work and correspondence. Government officials, speakers,
writers and observers use a lot of English.
ci. Then the important thing is to use English as a medium in schools so that we
can compete with graduates from abroad. All students have studied English
since they are in junior high school. Even some of them had been introduced
with English when they were in elementary school. However, lost of graduates
have less English skill. Learning English is difficult but it is more difficult to
customize us with it then it will be beneficial to have TV films in English like
in Singapore. It will help to increase out graduates competence in English.
