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 from 20 to 24.

Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is common to think of

learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the classroom, and people

continue to learn throughout their lives.

Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate toys,

food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in their

environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important to their world.

When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and mathematics. They also

continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are likely to be rewarded and which are

likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other children. After they finish school, people must

learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives, such as getting married, raising children, and finding

and keeping a job.

Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning is

important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children. Psychologists, social

workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain experiences change people's

behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of learning to influence the behavior of

workers, voters, and consumers.

Learning is closely related to memory, which is the storage of information in the brain. Psychologists who study

memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage takes place, and how the brain later

retrieves

knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study learning are more interested in behavior

and how behavior changes as a result of a person's experiences.

There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single stimulus. A

stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form of learning known

as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as lightning followed by

thunder. In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a behavior and its consequences

(reward or punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation - that is, by watching others perform

behaviors. More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts, and motor skills.

Question 20. It can be inferred from the passage that social workers, employers, and politicians concern themselves

with the study of learning because they need to ______.

A. understand how a stimulus relates to the senses of the objects of their interest.

B. change the behaviors of the objects of their interest towards learning.

C. thoroughly understand the behaviors of the objects of their interest.

D. make the objects of their interest more aware of the importance of learning.

Question 21. The word "

retrieves

" in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to _______.

A. generates B. gains C. create D. recovers

Question 22. The passage mainly discusses ______.

A. practical examples of learning inside the classroom. B. simple forms of learning.

C. general principles of learning. D. application of learning principles to formal education.

Question 23. Which of the following can be inferred about the learning process from the passage?

A. It plays a crucial part in improving the learner's motivation in school.

B. It is more interesting and effective in school than that in life.

C. It takes place more frequently in real life than in academic institutions.

D. It becomes less challenging and complicated when people grow older.

Question 24. According to the passage, what are children NOT usually taught outside the classroom?

A. life skills B. interpersonal communication

C. right from wrong D. literacy and calculation

letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether

spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up

before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain

that mean something (31)_______ Great writers are those (32)_______ not only have great thoughts but also express

these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is

what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing

like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our
