READING COMPREHENSION Exercise 9: Mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the best answer in each of the following questions: The American education system requires that students complete 12 years of primary and secondary education prior to attending university or college. This may be accomplished either at public or government-operated schools, or at private schools. These 12 years of schooling or their equivalent may also be completed outside the USA, thus giving foreign students the opportunity to pursue the benefits of the American education system and obtain a quality American education. Perhaps one of the most impressive facts is that a large number of presidents, prime ministers and leaders from other countries have experienced the American education system and graduated from a university or school in the USA. In many fields and industries, the American education system offers the most cutting-edge, sought-after programs at the world's best schools. That is why graduating from an accredited American school and being exposed to the rigors of the American education system is an investment in your future. Whether you want to study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high school, a thorough understanding of how the American education system works is essential. Without a clear grasp of the American education system, an international student will find it difficult to make the right academic choices. It is no surprise that the American education system and the American school system host more international students than any other country in the world! 1.

C. There are not many foreign students in the US. D. Many leaders all over the world have studied in the US. 5. What is the writer's advice? A. International students should not invest their future education in the US. B. International students should not study at a top USA university, a top USA college, a vocational or high school. C.

Birthdays are a time for closed ones to come together and celebrate you, the anniversary of your birth, and another year of your life. But the origin of birthdays is not that simple. In fact, birthdays didn’t begin until people created calendars. Early civilizations had no way to tell the time other than by using the moon, sun, or some other important event. This made it difficult for them to pay attention to the anniversary of a person’s birth. They began marking changes in time when they noticed the change in seasons. This helped them create the first calendars, which marked time changes and other special days. The tradition of using birthday candles began with the Greeks. In the past, the Greeks would bring offerings such as moon-shaped cakes with some candles on them to pay respect to Artemis, who is the lunar goddess. The candles were the symbol of the light from the moon, Artemis’ beauty, and the act of sending a sign to the goddess. Blowing out the candles with a wish is a way of sending that message to the gods. Greek people believed that celebrating birthdays is a way to protect a person from evil spirits. Lighting up the candles can push the darkness away. On these occasions, friends and family often gathered around the birthday person and protected them from harm with blessings and wishes.

The earthquake destroyed thousands of buildings, roads, schools and hospitals, as well as infrastructure like communication networks and electrical towers. Thousands of people died or are missing, and more than 45 million people were affected by the earthquake, which has been the worst natural disaster to hit China for 30 years.
