 PART V: Reading Comprehension
For items 31 - 35
Survey of Academic and General Reading in English

(1) On 8th February 1999, a survey was conducted among 16 overseas postgraduate
students at the University of England. The purpose of the survey was to discover the reading
habits in English of the students. The survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire
given to the students to complete. The first part of the questionnaire dealt with the type of
reading and its frequency.

(2) The second section was concerned with newspapers: the type of items read and
those that were read first. From the table of data, the most significant items are as follows. In
the first section 81% of the students regularly read academic books" while 44% regularly read
academic journals. Nothing else is read regularly or often by 40% or more of the students.

(3) The following comments can be made about the reading of newspapers, magazines
and fiction. 75% sometimes read regional or local newspapers, 69% sometimes read books of
fiction, 62% sometimes read general magazines, and 56% sometimes read national daily
newspapers. On the other hand, 37% never read Sunday newspapers and 31% never read
fiction. In the second section, not surprisingly, 100% read news about their own country in
newspapers and 56% read this first. 94% read international news, 25% read this first. 81%
read about Britain and look at radio and TV information.

(4) The only other item that is usually read by more than 50% of the students is current
affairs (read by 56%). If any conclusions may be drawn from the data, they are, perhaps, as
follows. Overseas students presumably have little time for general reading: most of their
reading time is spent on books and journals on their own subject. Outside their studies, apart
from reading news about their own country, international news, and news about Britain, they
probably spend most time watching TV and listening to the radio.

/from Academic Writing Course by R.R. Jordan/

An Approximation of the Internal Rate of Return of Investment in Selected

Undergraduate Degree Programs
By Dr. Editha Lupdag-Padama et al., (n.d.)
The situation of a typical Filipino household, overseas employment, and the culture of
migration are deemed as determinants for investing in higher education such as in the
specialized fields of accountancy, education, science and teacher training, engineering, and
nursing. We examine both local and international labor demand for accountants, teachers,
engineers, and nurses as well as its underlying implications on the exodus of professionals. As
such, the determination of the internal rate of return to investment is of crucial importance to
households to fully maximize educational opportunities and for the government and other
institutions to confront this globally changing situation. Using a combination of quantitative and
qualitative analysis, we compute for the internal rates of return of investment of the mentioned
degree programs. Results have shown that the relatively high rates of return are incentives to
practice profession abroad despite various delays.
41. Who are the respondents of the study?
A. Undergraduate students
B. Overseas Filipino Workers
C. Colleges and Universities
D. Accountants, Engineers, Teachers and Nurses

42. What is the result of the study?

A. There are relatively high rates of return are incentives to practice profession
abroad.
B. There are relatively low rates of return are incentives to practice profession
abroad.
C. There are relatively no significant rates of return are incentives to practice
profession abroad.
D. There are relatively significant rates of return are incentives to practice profession
abroad.

43. What is the purpose of the study?

A. To determine the internal rate of return to investment in selected undergraduate
degree programs
B. To determine the external rate of return to investment in selected undergraduate
degree programs
C. To determine the return to investment in selected undergraduate degree
programs
D. To determine the approximate return to investment in selected undergraduate
degree programs

44. What conclusion can you make based from the study?
A. Studying in college is profitable.
B. Studying in college is not profitable.
C. Studying in college is an investment worth of time, money and effort without
potential delay.
D. Studying in college is an investment worth of time, money and effort especially if
there is a potential to work abroad.

45. Does the survey report suggest a positive report on the return of investment in selected
undergraduate degree programs?
A. Yes C. Sort of
B. No D. Maybe
