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
An urban area is an area where many people live and work closely together. The population density is
higher than in the surrounding are. It is where buildings are close together. Urban is the opposite of rural,
where farmlands and nature are. Urban areas are usually cities and towns. Most of the work available in urban
areas is factory and office work. Agricultural work is rare because buildings are close together, and there is
no space for farmlands.
There are different urban definitions for each country. They mostly depend on how populated the
country is and if the definition shows a true percentage of how urbanized the country is. For example, in
Poland, an urban area is any place that has the status of a town, whereas, in China, it is any district, city, or
town with a population density higher than 1,500 people per square kilometer. The urban population
definition for Canadian and Scandinavian countries depends on density. If there is a house every 200 meters,
it is classified as urban. A large urban area, with all connected areas usually developed around some city, is
called a Metropolitan area.

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.
Most parents want their sons and daughters to have equal chances of success when they grow up. Today,
equality of the sexes is largely mandated by public policy and law. However, old-fashioned ideas and a lot of
prejudice are still part of our culture and present challenging questions for parents.
 Gender stereotypes are rigid ideas about how boys and girls should behave. We all know what these
stereotypes are: A “feminine” girl should be insecure, accommodating and a little illogical in her thinking. A
“masculine” boy should be strong, unemotional, aggressive, and competitive. How are children exposed to
these stereotypes? According to the researchers David and Myra Sadker of the American University of
Washington, D.C., boys and girls are often treated differently in the classroom. They found out that when
boys speak, teachers usually offer constructive comments, when girls speech, teachers tend to focus on the
behavior.
The emphasis on differences begins at birth and continues throughout childhood. For example, few
people would give pink baby clothes to a boy or a blue blanket to a girl. Later, many of us give girls dolls and
miniature kitchenware, while boys receive action figures and construction sets. There’s nothing wrong with
that. The problem arises when certain activities are deemed appropriate for one sex but not the other.
According to Heather J. Nicholson, Ph.D., director of the National Resource Center for Girls, Inc., this kind
of practice prevents boys and girls from acquiring important skills for their future lives.
“The fact is,” says Nicholson, “that society functions as a kind of sorting machine regarding gender. In a
recent survey, 58% of eighth-grade girls but only 6% of boys earned money caring for younger children. On
the other hand, 27% of boys but only 3% of girls earned money doing lawn work”. If we are serious about
educating a generation to be good workers and parents, we need to eliminate such stereotypes as those
mentioned previously.
Gender stereotypes inevitably are passed to our children. However, by becoming aware of the messages
our children receive, we can help them develop ways to overcome these incorrect ideas. To counteract these
ideas, parents can look for ways to challenge and support their children, and encourage confidence in ways
that go beyond what society’s fixed ideas about differences of sext are.
Question 44: Which of the following could be the main idea of the passage?
A. The role of culture in the behavior of different genders.
B. The influence of education and society on gender stereotypes.

A. teachers often concentrate on boys’ behavior and girls’ manners
B. girls are taught to be insecure, accommodating and illogical while boys are strong, unemotional,
aggressive, and competitive
C. schoolboys and schoolgirls are treated equally in the classroom
D. boys are commented usefully whereas girls are paid attention to behavior
