the correct answer to each of the questions from 36 to 40.
In the earliest times children got their education directly from parents and other adults.
They learned mainly skills for survival. Adults passed down this knowledge through spoken
language. Eventually cultures around the world began inventing writing. As societies developed
they set up schools to teach reading, writing, maths and other subjects.
The first schools were usually just for boys. Most of the students came down from rich
and powerful families. Often the purpose of their education was religious training. In many
cultures the religious leaders formed the highest level of society.
Some schools had other purposes as well. Many schools focused on military training.
Sometimes youths attended special schools to learn the art of public speaking. These skills were
meant to help them become future leaders.
Most girls received their education at home. They learned cooking, sewing and other
useful skills.
Over time education became available to more people, not just the rich and powerful. The
governments of some countries set up public systems of education in the 1800s. More schools
opened to girls.

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.
Are Sports Bad for Kids?
People think children should play sports Sports are fun, and children stay healthy while
playing with others. However, playing sports can have negative effects on children. It may
produce feelings of poor self-esteem or aggressive behavior in some children. According to
research on kids and sports, 40 million kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18 million say they
have been yelled at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad
impression of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.
Many researchers bclicve adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main cause of
too much aggression in children's sports. They believe children copy aggressive adult behavior.
This behavior is then further reinforced through both positive and negative feedback. Parents
and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults
behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that winning is everything. At
children's sporting events, parents may yell insults at other players or cheer when their child
behaves aggressively. As well, children may be taught that hurting other players is acceptable,
or they may be pushed to continue playing even when they are injured. In addition, the media
makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior
replayed over and over on television.
As a society, we really need to face up to this problem and do something about it. Parents
and coaches should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better
values. They should teach children to enjoy themselves whether they win or not. It is not
necessary to knock yourself out to enjoy sports. Winning is not everything. In addition, children
4
should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. Sending a child with an injury
into a game gives the child the message that health is not as important as winning. If we make
some basic changes, children might learn to enjoy sports again.
