1. The question is based on the following passage.

Parents send their children to school with the best of intentions, believing that formal education is
what kids need to become productive, happy adults. Many parents do have qualms about how well
schools are performing, but the conventional wisdom is that these issues can be resolved with more
money, better teachers, more challenging curricula, or more rigorous tests. But what if the real
problem is school itself? The unfortunate fact is that one of our most cherished institutions is, by its
very nature, failing our children and our society.

Children are required to be in school, where their freedom is greatly restricted, far more than most
adults would tolerate in their workspaces. In recent decades, we have been compelling them to spend
ever more time in this kind of setting, and there is strong evidence that this is causing psychological
tugaskimiasmaia24@gmail.com
damage to many of them. And as scientists have investigated how children naturally learn, they have
realized that kids do so most deeply and fully, and with greatest enthusiasm, in conditions that are
almost opposite to those of school.

Compulsory education has been a fixture of our culture now for several generators. President
Obama and Secretary of Education Ame Duncan are so enamored of it that they want even longer
school days and years. Most people assume that the basic design of today's schools emerged from
scientific evidence about how children learn. But nothing could be further from the truth.

Schools as we know them today are a product of history, not of research. The blueprint for them was
developed during the Protestant Reformation, when schools were created to teach children to read the
Bible, to believe Scripture without questioning it, and to obey authority figures without questioning
them. When schools were taken over by the state, made compulsory, and directed toward secular
ends, the basic structure and methods of teaching remained unchanged. Subsequent attempts at
reform have failed because they have not altered, the basic blueprint. The top down, teach-and-test
method, in which learning is motivated by a system of rewards and punishments rather than by
curiosity or by any real desire to know, is well designed for indoctrination ard obedience training but
not much else. It is no wonder that many of the world's greatest entrepreneurs ard innovators either
left school early (like Thomas Edison) or said they hated school and learned despite it, not because of it
(like Albert Einstein).

4. The question is based on the following text.

The process of global warming and the destructive nature of wildfires have created a deadly cycle in
which one constantly contributes to the other. Forest fires and global warming have created a
dangerous relationship. The link between these two forces has become clear in recent years. As the
climate becomes warmer, forests will become drier, spawning the perfect environment for fires. In
addition, as forest fires continue and gain intensity, the trees release more carbon into the atmosphere
which contributes to the greenhouse effect and which therefore causes global warming.

The increase in forest fires can now be seen as a factor which contributes to global warming. Trees,
in the carbon cycle, are labeled “sink” or a store for carbon. The ability of trees to store carbon dioxide
has helped to reduce the amount of CO2 that is pumped into the atmosphere. But, now that more
trees are being burned through increased forest fires, this stored carbon is being released and the
CO2 becomes part of the greenhouse gases that drive the greenhouse effect. So we believe that extra
fires intensify global warming. Furthermore, carbon is released in the decomposition of the trees after
the fire. There is no doubt that global warming and forest fires are linked to rising temperatures.

Global warming is a process which has been occurring for years and whose effects have been more
intensively felt by all living creatures. Forest fires have also been recorded for years, but as mentioned
they are a natural process. Therefore, it would be reasonable to attack global warming first. Much work
has been done already to solve this problem. Some plans to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, such as
tugaskimiasmaia24@gmail.com
Kyoto Protocol has been in place for years, but they have shown little results.

Some experts who care about global warming say that the solutions must start at home. People,
who suffer from immediate effect of global warming, must realize that most of their day to day
activities contribute to climate charge. But, reducing what is called a “carbon footprint” is not difficult.
It can be as easy as changing travel methods, instead of driving to school or working everyday, biking
or walking. Or it can be as easy as buying an energy efficient appliance, or switching the lights off in
rooms which are not being used.

Leadership from ordinary people is what it will take to fight against global warming. People must
educate each other on these harmful effects and make them known. But, this process will continue to
damage forests around the world unless something is done to reduce the effects of global warming.

invention of the first electronic computers in the 1940s continued with the development of information
technology during following decades and exploded in the early 1990s. In the 1960s and 1970s,
computer technology was mainly utilized in business data processing and scientific applications of a
mostly number crunching nature. As a result, the use of this technology was limited to those who had a
good command of these systems and computer programming languages. With the invention of
microprocessors a new idea of distributed information established itself and computers became
available on a personal basis. The contemporary development of networking both on a local and a
wide area (LAN and WAN) merged computer and information tecnnology with telecommunication. In
1980s the matching of the two technologies led to the information communication technology with a

The most noticeable explosion in the information and communication technology revolution was the
creation of the World Wide Web (WWW) and its potential in the early 1990s. During the past two
decades, WWW technologies have become the driving force in allowing people worldwide to
communicate and exchange information in ways that have created a totaly new dimension for
mankind, at such a point that “global villages” are the words today better describing our planet. In
recent years, through the use of web-enabled technologies, organizations of all types and sizes around
the world have managed to utilize these technologies to conduct both information processing and
disseminaton with their prospective customers, suppliers, students, and governments. These
technologies, now allowing readily available information for everyone regardless of their geographic
location, bring the true meaning of the information age to its realization and prepare a new era for
mankind: the knowledge society.

In recent years, the science of understanding the nature of information processing and management
tugaskimiasmaia24@gmail.com
combined with computer and telecommunication technologies to process, disseminate, and manage
information has become known as “information and communication science and technology”. It has
many resources and components and originated many new disciplines but, what is more, it intervenes
in changing mankind's habits and lifestyle.

Cartelli, A. & Palma, M. (2008). Encyclopedia of Information Communication and Technology.

The author organizes the ideas in the text by ….

a. contrasting the technology of earlier years to that of recent years

b. showing the revolution of technology in different areas

c. explaining the cause and its effects of technology across different eras

e. presenting the development of technology chronologically
