are four answers marked A, H, C andD- Read the passages carefully and choose the best answer to each of the questions. Mark your answer on the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points) Questions 21 〜25 are based on the following passage.
Life in the twentieth century demands preparation. Today, all individuals in a country must have adequate schooling to prepare them for their work as well as for their responsibilities as citizens. With this in mind, national leaders everywhere are placing more emphasis on the education of the young.
In the United States, government officials, parents, and teachers are working hard to give the children — tomorrow's decision makers — the best preparation available.
There is no national school policy in the United States. Each of the fifty states makes its own rules and regulations for its schools, but there are many similarities among the fifty school systems. Public schools in all states are supported by taxes paid by the citizens of the individual state. In most states the children are required to attend school until they reach the age of sixteen.
When they become six years old, children begin elementary school. After six years in elementary school, they go into junior high school and remain there for three years. The last three years of their public school education are spent in senior high school, from which they graduate at the age of eighteen.
A great number of high school graduates continue their education in one of the many colleges or universities in the country. After four years, they receive a Bachelor' s degree. Some continue studying for a Master's degree and perhaps a Doctor's degree.

Questions 26〜30 are based on the following passage.
About 35% of all high school graduates in America continue their education in an institution of higher learning. The word college is used to refer to either a college or a university These institutions offer four-year programs that lead to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) or Bachelor of Science (BS) degree. Some students attend a junior college (providing only a two-year program) for one or two years before entering a four-year college as a sophomore or junior.
It is generally easier to be accepted at a state university than at a private one. Most private schools require strict entrance examinations and a high grade point average (GPA) t
as well as specific college prep classes in high school Private schools cost considerably more than state colleges and famous private schools are very expensive. Poorer students can sometimes attend, however, by earning scholarships. Some college graduates go on to earn advanced masters or doctoral degrees in grad (graduate) school. Occupations in certain fields such as law or medicine require such advanced studies.
Since college costs are very high, most students work at part-time jobs. Some have fulltime jobs and go to school part-time. Often some will take five or more years to complete a four-year program because of money / job demands on their time.
While the college and work demands take up the great part of a student Ts time, most still enjoy social activities. Sports> dances, clubs, movies, and plays are all very popular. However♦ gathering together for longt philosophical talks at a favorite meeting place on or near the university is probably the most popular activities.
