Questions 26 – 29 are based on the following
text.
A mouse who always lived on the land, by
an unlucky chance, formed an intimate
acquaintance with a frog, who lived, for the most
part, in the water.
One day, the frog was intent on mischief. He
tied the foot of the mouse tightly to his own.
Thus joined together, the frog led his friend the
mouse to the meadow where they usually
searched for food. After this, he gradually led
him towards the pond in which he lived, until
reaching the banks of the water; he suddenly
jumped in, dragging the mouse with him.
The frog enjoyed the water amazingly, and
swam croaking about, as if he had done a good
deed. The unhappy mouse was soon sputtered
and drowned in the water and his poor dead
body floating about on the surface.
A hawk observed the floating mouse from
the sky, and dove down and grabbed it with his
talons, carrying it back to his nest. The frog,
being still fastened to the leg of the mouse, was
also carried off a prisoner, and was eaten by the
hawk.

Questions 30 to 32 refer to the following text.
Home schooling is an education system which
provides child’s main education programme at
home. Home schooling takes the place of fulltime school attendance and, in the United States
and Canada, it usually meets state requirement
for compulsory education. Although home
schooling could achieve the objectives of
compulsory education, there are some points that
should be noticed from the home schooling.
First, the idea of taking our children’s education
on home schooling can be a bit intimidating.
Since our contry is so large and the people are
from so may different kinds of backgrounds,
students need some kind of social glue to make
them stick together and to give them a sence of
unity in spite of all the differences. They will not
get such a unity when they are in home
schooling. They will get the sence of unity when
they are in the compulsory public schools since
it is the easiest and best place to make this glue.
Then, the home schooling may not be able to
prepare children to fit into the mass society,
which means, among other things, believing
what most people believe and liking what most

text.
A mouse who always lived on the land, by
an unlucky chance, formed an intimate
acquaintance with a frog, who lived, for the most
part, in the water.
One day, the frog was intent on mischief. He
tied the foot of the mouse tightly to his own.
Thus joined together, the frog led his friend the
mouse to the meadow where they usually
searched for food. After this, he gradually led
him towards the pond in which he lived, until
reaching the banks of the water; he suddenly
jumped in, dragging the mouse with him.
The frog enjoyed the water amazingly, and
swam croaking about, as if he had done a good
deed. The unhappy mouse was soon sputtered
and drowned in the water and his poor dead
body floating about on the surface.
A hawk observed the floating mouse from
the sky, and dove down and grabbed it with his
talons, carrying it back to his nest. The frog,
being still fastened to the leg of the mouse, was
also carried off a prisoner, and was eaten by the
hawk.

Home schooling is an education system which
provides child’s main education programme at
home. Home schooling takes the place of fulltime school attendance and, in the United States
and Canada, it usually meets state requirement
for compulsory education. Although home
schooling could achieve the objectives of
compulsory education, there are some points that
should be noticed from the home schooling.
First, the idea of taking our children’s education
on home schooling can be a bit intimidating.
Since our contry is so large and the people are
from so may different kinds of backgrounds,
students need some kind of social glue to make
them stick together and to give them a sence of
unity in spite of all the differences. They will not
get such a unity when they are in home
schooling. They will get the sence of unity when
they are in the compulsory public schools since
it is the easiest and best place to make this glue.
Then, the home schooling may not be able to
prepare children to fit into the mass society,
which means, among other things, believing
what most people believe and liking what most
