Questions 96 — 105 (2.0 points - 0.2/ each) Read the passage below and choose the best answer to each question It is commonly believed 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 difference between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no limits. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in the kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in school and the whole universe of informal learning. The agent (doer) of education can vary from respected grandparents to the people arguing about politics on the radio, from a child to a famous scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a nger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People receive education from infancy on, Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term; itis a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be a necessary part of one’s entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general patter varies little from one setting to the next, Throughout a country, children arrive at school at about the same time, take the assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The pieces of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of governments, have been limited by the subjects 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 society or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are clear and undoubted conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling. 96. This passage is mainly aimed at A. giving examples of different schools B. telling the difference between the meaning of two related words C. listing and discussing several educational problems D. telling a story about excellent teachers 97.

According to the passage, the doers of education are : A. mostly famous scientists B. mainly politicians C. only respected grandparents D. almost all people 100. What does the writer mean by saying “education quite often produces surprises”? A. Educators often produce surprises. B. It’s surprising that we know little about other religions, C.

A, Without formal education, people won’t be able to read and write. B. Schooling is of no use because students do similar things every day.
