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.
Each societyhas its own beliefs , attitudes, custom, behaviors and social habits. These give people a sense of who they are, how they are supposed to behave, and what they should do or should not do.
People become conscious of such rules when they meet people from different cultures. For example, the rules about when to eat vary from culture to culture. Many North Americans and Europeans organize their timetables around three mealtimes a day. In other countries, on the other hand, it is not the custom to have strict rules like this – people eat when they want to, and every family has its own timetable. When people visit or live in a country for the first time, they are often startied at the differences that exist between their own culture and the culture in the other country. For some people, travelling abroad is the thing they enjoy most in life; for other, though, cultural differences make them feel uncomfotable, frightened or even insecure. This is known as ‘ culture shock’.
When you are visiting a foreign country, it is important to understand and appreciate cultural differences. This can help people avoid misunderstanding, develop friendships more easily, and feel more comfortable when travelling or living abroad.

Education is an important issue for many people in the UK as well as around the world. In most countries pupils who attend secondary schools take an exam to get a school leaving certificate. One particular worry is why boys are doing so badly. Some twenty years ago, exam scores of girls and boys in class were compared. Boys got better results in exams, so various steps weretaken to improve the results of girls, including having single sex girl-only classes. Now, the situation is reserved, with girls setting scores than boys.
So, what has gone wrong with boys, and what can be done about it? John Dunsford, leader of the Association of Head Teachers in Secondary Schools, says that the fact that boys do not achieve much academically has its roots in society rather than the classoom. Girls, more than boys, see education as a passport to a good job. On the other hand, according to Penny Lewis, a head teacher, young men are not confident enough and are often uncertain about their place in society. Some boys grow up in families where there is no father, which means no male role model to follow.
Moreover, boys learn in a different way to girls, preferring small amounts of work with short deadlines rather than large projects extended in tie. And education is not seen as “cool”. As someone on BBc website put it, “girls achieve more school because they are watching the future while the boys are watching the girls”. This is just not a problem in Britain. In a study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development and UNESCO, girls did better than boys at reading at the age of 15 in all 45 countries. The UK took the ninth place among the 45 countries in reading skills, although pipils in the UK spend less time reading than in most other countries. Interestingly, the study suggested that British chirlden read for pleasure more often than those in other countries.
