There’s my father whose name is Jan, my mother<br /> whose name is Marie, my brother, Peter and of course, me. I have quite a large extended<br /> family as well but, only the four of us live together in our apartment in a block of flats. My<br /> father is fifty-two years old. He works as an accountant in an insurance company. He is tall<br /> and slim, has got short brown and gray hair and blue eyes. My father likes gardening very<br /> much as well as listening to music and reading books about political science. His special<br /> hobbies are bird watching and travelling.<br /> Now I’ll describe my mother and my brother. My mother is forty-seven and she<br /> works as a nurse in a hospital. She is small, and slim, has short brown hair and green eyes.<br /> She likes bird watching and travelling too, so whenever my parents are able to they go some<br /> place interesting for nature watching. Since we have a cottage with a garden they both spend<br /> a lot of time there. My brother is sixteen. He is slim and has short brown hair and blue eyes.<br /> 3<br /> <br /> He also attends high school. He is interested in computers and sports like football and<br /> hockey. He also spends a lot of time with his friends.<br /> I have only one grandmother left still living. She is in pretty good health even at the<br /> age of seventy-eight so she still lives in her own flat. I enjoy spending time with her when I<br /> can. Both my grandfathers died from cancer because they were smokers, which was really a<br /> great tragedy because I didn’t get chance to know them. My other grandmother died just a<br /> few years ago. I also have a lot of aunts, uncles, and cousins. The cousin I’m closest to is<br /> my uncle’s daughter Pauline. We have a lot in common because we are both eighteen and so<br /> we are good friends.<br /> My parents have assigned me certain duties around the house. I don’t mind helping<br /> out because everyone in a family should contribute in some way. I help with the washing<br /> up, the vacuuming and the shopping. Of course I also have to help keep my room tidy as<br /> well. My brother is responsible for the dusting and mopping. He also has to clean his own<br /> room. Even though my brother and I sometimes fight about who has to do what job, we are<br /> still very close. I am also very close to my parents and I can rely on them to help me. My<br /> patents work together to keep our home well maintained and it seems they always have a<br /> project or another that they are working on. They respect each others' opinions and even if<br /> they disagree they can always come to a compromise. I hope in the future that I have a<br /> family like ours.<br /> Question 36.

In fact, the U.S. Department of Education has estimated that in 1999, about 850,000<br /> children were being homeschooled. Some educational experts say that the real number is<br /> double this estimate, and the ranks of homeschooled children seem to be growing at the<br /> average rate of about eleven percent every year.<br /> 4<br /> <br /> At one time, there was a theory accounting for homeschooling: it was traditionally<br /> used for students who could not attend school because of behavioral or learning difficulties.<br /> Today, however, more parents are taking on the responsibility of educating their own<br /> children at home due to their dissatisfaction with the educational system. Many parents are<br /> unhappy about class size, as well as problems inside the classroom. Teacher shortages and<br /> lack of funding mean that, in many schools, one teacher is responsible for thirty or forty<br /> students. The children are, therefore, deprived of the attention they need. Escalating<br /> classroom violence has also motivated some parents to remove their children from school.<br /> Although there have been a lot of arguments for and against it, homeschooling in the<br /> U.S. has become a multi-million dollar industry, and it is growing bigger and bigger. There<br /> are now plenty of websites, support groups, and conventions that help parents protect their<br /> rights and enable them to learn more about educating their children. Though once it was the<br /> only choice for troubled children, homeschooling today is an accepted alternative to an<br /> educational system that many believe is failing.<br /> Question 43: The number of parents who want to teach their own children in the U.S. is<br /> ________.<br /> A. remaining unchanged<br /> B. remaining the same<br /> C. going up<br /> D. going down<br /> Question 44: This estimated number was presented by ________.<br /> A. a governmental office<br /> B. school teachers<br /> C. the parents<br /> D. homeschooled children<br /> Question 45: According to some experts, the exact number of homeschooled children then<br /> must be ________.<br /> A. 1,600,000<br /> B. 850,000<br /> C. 1,900,000<br /> D. 1,700,000<br /> Question 46: The closest synonym of the participle phrase “accounting for” in the second<br /> paragraph is “________”.<br /> A. explaining<br /> B. reasoning<br /> C. counting for<br /> D. calculating documents of<br /> Question 47: More parents teach their children because they completely ________ the<br /> current educational system.<br /> A. please with<br /> B. object to<br /> C. appeal to<br /> D. approve of<br /> Question 48: Many parents stop their children from going to school because it is now too<br /> ________ for them.<br /> A. explosive<br /> B. expensive<br /> C. dangerous<br /> D. humorous<br /> Question 49: Parents can teach children at home with the support of __________.<br /> A. the internet, conventions along with support groups<br /> B. support groups, teachers and websites<br /> C. documents, websites and support groups<br /> D. books, support groups and the Internet<br /> Question 50.
