Read the passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D to indicate the correct answer to each of the questions.

Upon the creation of the United States, one of the core concepts (khái niệm cốt lõi) on which the hopes for the new democracy were pinned (lưu giữ) was the ideal that its citizens would be enlightened individuals with clearly articulated rights and the opportunity for individual achievement and education. It was believed that in a free nation where the power belongs to the people, the commitment to education defines the progress of that democracy and is the catalyst for future progress. This core value has not only stood the test of time but has also grown in importance. In this new Information Era and international economy, education is an increasingly vital commodity, a precursor of potential success and a driving force of chance. It is important to recognize, however, that we approach education today differently than in the past, partly because the kinds of jobs people had didn’t require the kind of basic education and specialized training that is often required in the workforce today. In the 1950s, for instance, only 20 percent of American jobs were classified as professional, 20 percent as skilled; and 60 percent as unskilled. Today, our world has changed. The proportion of unskilled jobs has fallen to 20 percent, while jobs now account for at least 60 percent of the workforce. Even more important, almost every job today increasingly requires a combination of academic knowledge and practical skills that require learning throughout a lifetime.

A. without education, no changes could have happened in American society so far.

B. the government of the United States wants to drive social changes in their own ways.

C. education has helped to bring about and orient most changes in the American workforce.

D. any American citizen who wants to changes his driving license must be very well-educated.

Question 27. The passage shows the percentage of jobs that require higher training in the US________ between 1950s and now.

A. has remained the same        B. has changed dramatically 

C. has been reversed         D. has changed slightly

Question 28. The phrase “enlightened individuals” in the first sentence most likely means “people who _________.”

A. always appear brilliant-looking in public B. have often been well-exposed to light

C. have acquired an adequate level of education D. bring light to anywhere they go

Since the world became industrialized, the number of animal species that have either become extinct or have neared extinction has increased.

This is an example of the callousness that is contributing to the problem of extinction.

International laws protecting these animals must be enacted to ensure their survival – and the survival of our planet.
