Question

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.

          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 in infancy. 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 subjects 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.

What is the main idea of the passage?

A. The best school teach a wide variety of subject.

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.

Answer 1

Đáp án B

Đâu là ý chính của đoạn văn?

A. Trường học tốt nhất dạy cho học sinh đa dạng các môn học.

B. Việc học nói chung và sự dạy dỗ từ nhà trường là 2 trải nghiệm khác nhau.

C. Học sinh được hưởng lợi từ việc tới trường, điều đó đòi hỏi một thời gian dài và cả việc làm bài tập về nhà.

D. Học sinh học tại trường càng lâu thì càng có nhiều kiến thức.

Đoạn đầu có nói rằng: “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”- (Tuy nhiên, có ý kiến cho rằng: ngày nay, trẻ em tạm ngừng việc học để đi tới trường. Sự khác biệt giữa việc được dạy dỗ ở trưởng và việc giáo dục nói chung được ngụ ý ở trong nhận xét này là rất quan trọng). Sau đó đoạn tiếp theo nói về Education, và đoạn cuối là nói về Schooling để từ đó nhận ra được sự khác biệt. => Đáp án B.
