Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to

Increasing numbers of parents in the U.S. are choosing to teach their children at home. In

fact, the U.S. Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000 children

were being homeschooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is double this
estimate, and the ranks of homeschooled children seem to be growing at the average rate of

about eleven percent every year.

At one time, there was a theory accounting for homeschooling: it was traditionally used for
students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties. Today,

however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own children at

home due to their dissatisfaction with the educational system. Many parents are unhappy

about class size, as well as problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and lack of
funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty students.

The children are, therefore, deprived of the attention they need. Escalating classroom

violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children from school.

Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the U.S.

has become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger. There are

now plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their rights
and enable them to learn more about educating their children. Though once it was the only

choice for troubled children, homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an

educational system that many believe is failing.

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.

Choosing a career may be one of the hardest jobs you ever have, and it must be done
with care. View a career as an opportunity to do something you love, not simply as a way to

earn a living. Investing the time and effort to thoroughly explore your options can mean the

difference between finding a stimulating and rewarding career and move from job to

unsatisfying job in an attempt to find the right one. Work influences virtually every aspect of

your life, from your choice of friends to where you live. Here are just a few of the factors to

consider.

Deciding what matters most to you is essential to making the right decision. You may want

to begin by assessing your likes, dislikes, strengths, and weaknesses. Think about the classes,
hobbies, andsurroundings that you find most appealing. Ask yourself questions, such as

―Would you like to travel ? Do you want to work with children ? Are you more suited to

solitary or cooperative work ? There are no right or wrong answers ; only you know what

is important to you. Determine which job features you require, which ones you would prefer,
and which ones you cannot accept. Then rank them in order of importance to you.

The setting of the job is one factor to take into account. You may not want to sit at a desk

all day. If not, there are diversity occupation – building inspector, supervisor, real estate
agent – that involve a great deal of time away from the office. Geographical location may be

a concern, and employment in some fields is concentrated in certain regions. Advertising job

can generally be found only in large cities. On the other hand, many industries such as

hospitality, law education, and retail sales are found in all regions of the country. If a high
salary is important to you, do not judge a career by its starting wages. Many jobs, such as

insurance sales, offers relatively low starting salaries; however, pay substantially increases

along with your experience, additional training, promotions and commission. Don‘t rule out
any occupation without learning more about it. Some industries evoke positive or negative

associations. The traveling life of a flight attendant appears glamorous, while that of a

plumber does not. Remember that many jobs are not what they appear to be at first, and may

have merits or demerits that are less obvious. Flight attendants must work long, grueling
hours without sleeps, whereas plumbers can be as highly paid as some doctors. Another

point to consider is that as you get mature, you will likely to develop new interests and skills

that may point the way to new opportunities. The choice you make today need not be your

final one.
