Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, c, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of
the questions.
In the earliest times children got their education directly from parents and other adults. They learned mainly
skills for survival. Adults passed down this knowledge through spoken language. Eventually cultures around
the world began inventing writing. As societies developed they set up schools to teach reading, writing,
maths and other subjects. The first schools were usually just for boys. Most of the students came from rich
and powerful families. Often the purpose of their education was religious training. In many cultures the
religious leaders formed the highest level of society. Some schools had other purposes as well. Many schools
focused on military training. Sometimes youths attended special schools to learn the art of public speaking.
These skills were meant to help them become future leaders.
Most girls received their education at home. They learned cooking, sewing and other useful skills. Over time
education became available to more people, not just the rich and powerful. The governments of some
countries set up public systems of education in the 1800s. More schools opened to girls.
During the 1900s marks, or grades, became a new measure of learning. Testing became a regular part of
formal education. As education became more important to people, teachers’ colleges opened. The
requirements for becoming a teacher became stricter. Teaching became a highly respected profession.
28. In the earliest times, children learned mainly skills so that they could________.
A. continue to exist B. pass this knowledge down
C. invent writing D. make societies develop
29. The word “they” in the passage refers to________.
A. cultures B. societies C. schools D. subjects
