It is commonly believed in the United States that school is where people go to get an education. Nevertheless, it has been said that today children interrupt their education to go to school. The distinction between schooling and education implied by this remark is important.
Education is much more open-ended and all-inclusive than schooling. Education knows no bounds. It can take place anywhere, whether in the shower or on the job, whether in a kitchen or on a tractor. It includes both the formal learning that takes place in schools and the whole universe of informal learning. The agents of education can range from a revered grandparent to the people debating politics on the radio, from a child to a distinguished scientist. Whereas schooling has a certain predictability, education quite often produces surprises. A chance conversation with a stranger may lead a person to discover how little is known of other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education, then, is a very broad, inclusive term. It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life.
Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varies little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, do homework, take exams, and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding of the workings of government, have usually been limited by the boundaries of the subject being taught. For example, high school students know that they are not likely to find out in their classes the truth about political problems in their communities or what the newest filmmakers are experimenting with. There are definite conditions surrounding the formalized process of schooling.
What does the author probably mean by using the expression “children interrupt their education to go to school” in paragraph 1?

Đáp án D
Tác giả có ý gì khi nói “trẻ em tạm ngừng sự học để đến trường” trong đoạn 1?
A. Đến nhiều trường khác nhau là có lợi về mặt giáo dục.
B. Các kì nghỉ của trường học làm gián đoạn năm học.
C. Học kì hè khiến năm học kéo quá dài.
D. Sự học là chuyện cả đời.
Đọc bài, ta sẽ thấy tác giả nói đến sự học như một khái niệm toàn diện và tổng quát, nó bao gồm học hỏi về mọi thứ, tuy nhiên việc đến trường lại là để học các môn học, với tầm hiểu biết giới hạn đối với một vài phương diện.
Đồng thời, tác giả cũng nói: “It is a lifelong process, a process that starts long before the start of school, and one that should be an integral part of one's entire life.” (Nó là một quá trình kéo dài, một quá trình bắt đầu rất lâu từ trước khi ta bắt đầu đi học, và nên là một phần không thể thiếu trong cả cuộc đời mỗi người.)
Có thể thấy, nói đến việc “trẻ em tạm ngừng sự học để đến trường” là ý nói việc đến trường chỉ là một phần nhỏ, còn sự học lại là chuyện cả đời.

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 following questions from 36 to 42.
Although speech is the most advanced form of communication, there are many ways of communicating without using speech. Signals, signs, symbols, and gestures may be found in every known culture. The basic function of signal is to impinge upon the environment in such a way that it attracts attention, as, for example, the dots and dashes of a telegraph circuit. Coded to refer to speech, the potential for communication is very great. Less adaptable to the codification of words, signs also contain meaning in and of themselves. A stop sign or a barber pole conveys meaning quickly and conveniently. Symbols are more difficult to describe than either signals or signs because of their intricate relationship with the receiver's cultural perceptions. In some cultures, applauding in a theater provides performers with an auditory symbol of approval. Gestures such as waving and handshaking also communicate certain cultural messages.
Although signals, signs, symbols, and gestures are very useful, they do have a major disadvantage in communication. They usually do not allow ideas to be shared without the sender being directly adjacent to the receiver. Without an exchange of ideas, interaction comes to a halt. As a result, means of communication intended to be used for long distances and extended periods must be based upon speech. To radio, television, and the telephone, one must add fax, paging systems, electronic mail, and the Internet, and no one doubts but that there are more means of communication on the horizon.
Applauding was cited as an example of _______.
