LEARNING HOW TO LEARN AND THINK
 What is the point of the education system? Although this question may seem ridiculous at first (1)....., it is actually not stupid as it sounds.

But why is it? Why do they neglect to teach (6).......skills at school?
 One answer may be that schools don't (7)......to help us gain useul knowledge about the world. At school, what we are (8).......learning is how to learn effectively. The idea is that we can then (9)......use of that ability later on in life when we come to deal (10).......more practical aspects of day-to-day living.
 However, some people argue that the (11)......system is in fact a failure because it doesn't actually teach children how to become good thinkers. Learning how to learn is one thing. Learning how to think is (12).....another.

IX. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.
 During my last couple of years as a student here at Union High, I have noticed that there is nothing to do during our occasional free periods. Hanging around in the hallways or in the library with friends isn't productive or relaxing. The student body council noticed this as well and brought it to the attention of Mr. Swanson and the rest of the faculty. A meeting to discuss the issue occurred last Friday, February 10th, in the all-school meeting room.
 The faculty not only agreed that there wasn't much to do during these free periods, but also seemed determined to find a solution. The student body council and the faculty talked about different ideas for a long time. The faculty had noticed that some students don't like using their free periods for studying. Instead, they spend their time disrupting the students who want to study by being noisy in the library. By the end of the meeting, the faculty had decided to put a pool table and a ping pong table in our student lobby at the start of next semester.
 I know some people will be concerned about getting their work done with these potential distractions, but I believe this will help us all in enjoying our time at school. I agree that it's important to complete our work but it is just as important to enjoy ourselves and to relax with our friends. School is already such a stressful place. It makes many students feel worried and anxious. We want our school to be a friendly place so that students want to come every day. Students should remember that this change will make the library a lot quieter. Because of this, the students who want to study will be able to do so in peace.
 To all the students at Union High, I sincerely hope that you enjoy the new additions to our lobby. Hopefully, they will make our free periods a lot more relaxing. If you happen to have one of the same free periods as I do, then please challenge me to a game of pool!

X. Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
 Twenty-five students from Walling School are currently living in France. They are there for three months afifert of a living-abroad project. The 16- and 17-year-old students are living with Freneh families and attending a French school. Most of the students have taken French language classes for 3 or 4 years and are finally getting an opportunity to use their French.
 Not only are students learning a new language, but they are learning about a new culture, too. Students have been particularly surprised about the French attitude towards food.
 "They won't leave anything on their plate," says Vanessa Athol. "They aren't wasteful at all." Vanessa has vowed to be more careful with waste when returning to the United States.
 The group's chaperone, Mrs. Smith, has been pleased with the students' acquisition of language. "Even the most timid are trying their best to speak. The students are learning a lot. I’m very impressed," she said. Mrs. Smith added that she thinks living with a French family makes a difference because students are forced to speak French. "We are all very grateful to the French families who are hosting us."
 The French families are happy to have the students, as they are getting to learn about American culture. Both groups will be celebrating the exchange at a large potluck dinner at the end of the stay. There will be a slide show of memories and the students will speak about their experiences. Currently, the American students are periodically posting pictures and student essays on the Walling School website. "Living in France is an experience I'll never forget," writes student Tina Davis. "I know I'll want to eat these croissants and this Camembert (*) for the rest of my life!"
