  IV. READING COMPREHENSION
  Questions 71 to 75 are based on the following passage:
  In the primary school, a child is in a comparatively simple setting and most of the time forms a relationship with one familiar teacher.On entering secondary school, a new world opens up and frequently it is a much more difficult world. The pupil soon learns to be less free in the way he speaks to teachers and even to his fellow pupils. He begins to lose gradually the free and easy ways of the primary school, for he senses the need for a more cautious approach in the secondary school where there are older pupils. Secondary staff and pupils suffer from the pressuresof academic work and seem to have less time to stop and talk. Teachers withspecialist roles may see hundreds of children in a week, and a pupil maybe able to form relationships with very few of the staff. He has to decidewhich adults are approachable; good schools will make clear to every youngperson from the first year what guidance and personal help is available——but whether the reality of life in the institution actually encouragesrequests for help is another matter. Adults often forget what a confusing picture school can offer to achild. He sees a great deal of movement, a great number of people-oftenrather frightening-looking people-and realizes than an increasing numberof choices and decisions have to be made. As he progresses through theschool the confusion may become less but the choices and decisions requiredwill increase. The school will rightly expect the pupil to take the firststeps to obtain the help he needs, for this is the pattern of adult lifefor which he has to be prepared, but all the time the opportunities for per-sonal and group advice must be presented in a way which makes them easy tounderstand and within easy reach of pupils.

A) they are taught by many different teachers B) they do not attend lessons in every subject C) the teachers do not want to be friendly D) the teachers give most attention to the more academic pupils

  74. Why do the pupils in the secondary school lose the free and easy ways of the primary school?
  A) Older pupils are superior to them. B) They are afraid of being punished by teachers. C) They feel that they need to behave more carefully. D) They should meet the needs of older pupils.

  Questions 76 to 80 are based on the following passage:
  Ours has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago onlyone out of every five Americans at work was employed, i.e., worked forsomebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working forhimself. And when fifty years ago“being employed”meant working as afactory labourer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasinglya middle-class person with a substantial formal education, holding aprofessional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills.Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these lastfifty years: middle-class employees have been the fastest-growing groupsin our working population —— growing so fast that the industrial worker,that oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numeri-cal importance despite the expansion of industrial production. Yet you will find little if anything written on what it is to be anemployee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to geta job or how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of workin a chosen field, whether it be the mechanist's trade or book keeping(?á??)。 Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets differentstandards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have em-ployeeship in common. And increasingly, especially in the large businessor in the government, employeeship is more important to success than thespecial professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail becausethey do not know the requirements of being an employee than because theydo not adequately possess the skills of their trade; the higher youclimb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work,the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization ratherthan on technical abilities or professional knowledge.
  76. It is implied that fifty years ago _______. A) eighty per cent of American working people were employed in factories B) twenty per cent of American intellectuals were employees C) the percentage of intellectuals in the total work force was almost the same as that of industrial workers D) the percentage of intellectuals working as employees was not so large as that of industrial workers
  77. According to the passage, with the development of modern industry, _______. A) factory labourers will overtake intellectual employees in number B) there are as many middle-class employees as factory labourers C) employers have attached great importance to factory labourers D) the proportion of factory labourers in the total employee population has decreased.
  78. The word 'dubious' (Line 2, Para. 2) most probably means _______. A) valuable B) useful C) doubtful D) helpful
  79. According to the writer, professional knowledge or skill is _______. A) less important than awareness of being a good employee B) as important as the ability to deal with public relations C) more important than employer-employee relations D) as important as the ability to co-operate with others
  80. From the passage it can be seen that employeeship helps one _______. A) to be more successful in his career B) to be more specialized in his field C) to gain professional ability D) to develop his professional skill
