questions:
EDUCATION IN THE FUTURE
Education is another area of social life in which information technology is changing the way we
communicate. Today's college students may not simply sit in a lecture or a library to learn about their field.
Through their computers and the wonders of virtual reality they can participate in lifelike simulated experiences.
Consider the following scenario of the future of education made possible through developments in information
technology.
For children over the age of 10, daily attendance at schools is not compulsory. Some of the older children
attend school only once or twice weekly to get tutorial support or instruction from a teacher. For the most part,
pupils are encouraged to work online from home. Students must complete a minimum number of study hours
per year; however, they may make up these hours by studying at home at times that suit their family schedule.
They can log on early or late in the day and even join live classes in other countries. In order to ensure that each
student is learning adequately, computer software will automatically monitor the number of hours a week each
student studies on-line as well as that students' learning materials and assessment activities. Reports will be
available for parents and teachers. The software can then identify the best learning activities and condition for
each individual student and generate similar activities. It can also identify areas of weak achievement and
produce special programs adjusted to the students' needs.

36. What is the topic of the passage?

A. The effect of information technology on education
B. Computer software will make sure students learn at home
C. Students can know about their weak aspects to focus.
D. students don't have to go to school any more
37. What is NOT MENTIONED as a benefit of information technology to the students?
A. Students' learning time won't be monitored B. Students' weak achievement can be identified.
C. Students can learn at times that suit their scheduleD. Students can stay at home to learn
38. What CAN'T the software do?

Read the following passage on learning by Mazur, James E, and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on
your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
Learning means acquiring knowledge or developing the ability to perform new behaviors. It is common to
think of learning as something that takes place in school, but much of human learning occurs outside the
classroom, and people continue to learn throughout their lives.
Even before they enter school, young children learn to walk, to talk, and to use their hands to manipulate
toys, food, and other objects. They use all of their senses to learn about the sights, sounds, tastes, and smells in
their environments. They learn how to interact with their parents, siblings, friends, and other people important
to their world. When they enter school, children learn basic academic subjects such as reading, writing, and
mathematics. They also continue to learn a great deal outside the classroom. They learn which behaviors are
likely to be rewarded and which are likely to be punished. They learn social skills for interacting with other
children. After they finish school, people must learn to adapt to the many major changes that affect their lives,
such as getting married, raising children, and finding and keeping a job.

3
 Because learning continues throughout our lives and affects almost everything we do, the study of learning
is important in many different fields. Teachers need to understand the best ways to educate children.
Psychologists, social workers, criminologists, and other human-service workers need to understand how certain
experiences change people’s behaviors. Employers, politicians, and advertisers make use of the principles of
learning to influence the behavior of workers, voters, and consumers. Learning is closely related to memory,
which is the storage of information in the brain.
Psychologists who study memory are interested in how the brain stores knowledge, where this storage
takes place, and how the brain later retrieves knowledge when we need it. In contrast, psychologists who study
learning are more interested in behavior and how behavior changes as a result of a person’s experiences.
There are many forms of learning, ranging from simple to complex. Simple forms of learning involve a single
stimulus. A stimulus is anything perceptible to the senses, such as a sight, sound, smell, touch, or taste. In a form
of learning known as classical conditioning, people learn to associate two stimuli that occur in sequence, such as
lightning followed by thunder. In operant conditioning, people learn by forming an association between a
behavior and its consequences (reward or punishment). People and animals can also learn by observation - that
is, by watching others perform behaviors. More complex forms of learning include learning languages, concepts,
and motor skills.
