Read the passages and choose the best answer to each question.
It is commonly believed in the United States 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 distinction between schooling and education
implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place
anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that
takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered
grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a
certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to
discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very
broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an
integral part of one's entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to
the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by
an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned,
whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the
boundaries of the subject 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 communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There
are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
31. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. The best school teach a wide variety of subjects B. Education and schooling are quite different experiences
C. Students benefit from schools, which require long hours and homework
D. The more years students go to school, the better their education is
32. What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their education to go to school”?
A. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial.
B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year.
C. Summer school makes the school year too long. D. All of life is an education.
33. The word “bounds” is closest in meaning to ___________.
A. rules B. experience C. limits D. exceptions
34. The word “chance” is closest in meaning to_________________.
A. unplanned B. unusual C. lengthy D. lively
35. The word “an integral” is closest in meaning to ____________.
A. an equitable B. a profitable C. a pleasant D. an essential
36. The word “they” refers to ____________.
A. slices of reality B. similar textbooks C. boundaries D. seats
37. The phrase “For example,” introduces a sentence that gives examples of _________.
A. similar textbooks B. the results of schooling
C. the workings of a government D. the boundaries of classroom subjects
38. The passage supports which of the following conclusions?

C. Going to school is only part of how people become educated. D. Education involves many years of professional training.
