Read the following passage and choose the correct answers A, B, C, or D.
Mr Nam, grandfather, a 70-year-old farmer
I was one of the few children in my village who was still at school at the age of 15. Every
day, I got up early and walked to school. Learning then depended mostly on our teachers and
textbooks. We had no library or lab. The nearest bookshop was six kilometres away. I learned
simply by taking notes during class, memorising them, and doing the homework. Life then
was simple. We rarely travelled outside our village, so we didn’t know much about the world around us.
Mai, granddaughter, a 15-year-old student
Learning today is very different from my grandfather’s time. It is easier and more convenient.
Besides learning from teachers and textbooks, we use the Internet. It provides us with various
online sources such as documents, clips, and programmes. Google helps us find the answers
to almost any questions we have. The Internet also allows us to pursue our own interests.
Learning has become more independent. Although most children in my village have fewer
private learning facilities than the students in the city, we are still luckier than my grandfather's
generation. We have TVs to watch at home and a library and computers at school.
Question 31. In Mr Nam’s time, __________.
A. teachers played an important role B. bookshops did not exist
C. students had to wake up early and go to school on foot
D. all children stayed on at school until they were 15
Question 32. Few people travelled outside their village, so __________.
A. life in the village was simple
B. his school lacked learning facilities
C. the villagers had limited knowledge about the world
D. none of the villagers knew about city life
Question 33. Modern learning __________. A. does not require textbooks
B. makes use of online programmes
C. relies only on the Internet
D. does not require students to take notes
Question 34. The word ‘It’ refers to __________. A. today’s learning
B. Mai’s grandfather’s time C. Google D. the Internet
Question 35. The word ‘we’ refers to __________. A. learning facilities
B. students in Mr. Nam’s generation
