The penny press, which emerged in the United States during the 1830 s, was a powerful 1 agent of mass communication. These newspapers were little dailies, generally four pages in length, written for the mass taste. They differed from the staid, formal presentation of the 3 conservative press, with its emphasis on political and literary topics. The new papers were brief and cheap, emphasizing sensational reports of police courts and juicy scandals as well as 5 human interest stories. Twentieth-century journalism was already foreshadowed in the penny
press of the 1830 s. 7 The New York Sun, founded in 1833, was the first successful penny paper, and it was followed two years later by the New York Herald, published by James Gordon Bennett. Not 9 long after, Horace Greeley issued the New York Tribune, which was destined to become the most influential paper in America. Greeley gave space to the issues that deeply touched the 11 American people before the Civil War abolitionism, temperance, free homesteads, Utopian cooperative settlements, and the problems of labour. The weekly edition of the Tribune, with 13 100,000 subscribers, had a remarkable influence in rural areas especially in Western communities. 15 Americans were reputed to be the most avid readers of periodicals in the world. An English observe enviously calculated that, in 1829, the number of newspapers circulated in 17 Great Britian was enough to reach only one out of every thirty-six inhabitants weekly; Pennsylvania in that same year had a newspaper circulation which reached one out of every 19 four inhabitants weekly. Statistics seemed to justify the common belief that Americans were devoted to periodicals. Newspapers in the United States increased from 1,200 in 1833 to 3,000 21 by the early 1860 s on the eve of the Civil War. This far exceeded the number and circulation of newspaper in England and France. 23 Question 45: It can be inferred that penny-press newspapers were all of the following EXCEPT A. Inexpensive B.

An article about a little girt returning a large amount of money she found in the street. C. A scholarly analysis of an economic issue of national importance. D. A story about land being given away in the West. Question 48: The word it in line 8 refers to A. The New York Sun B. The New York Herald C. America D.

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 places 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 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 the other religions. People are engaged in education from infancy on. Education is, then, 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 integral part of one s entire life. Schooling, on the other hand, is a specific, formalized process, whose general pattern varied little from one setting to the next. Throughout a country, children arrive at school at approximately at the same time, take assigned seats, are taught by an adult, use similar textbooks, take exams and so on. The slices of reality that are to be learned, whether they are the alphabet or an understanding the working of the government, have usually limited but 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. Question 55: What does the author probably mean by using the expression children interrupt their education to go to school? A. Going to several different schools is educationally beneficial. B. School vacations interrupt the continuity of the school year. C. Summer school makes the school year too long. D. All of life is an education.

A. politicians and learners B. educators and scientists C. scientists and educators D. learners and educators

A. an equitable B. an essential C. a pleasant D. a profitable Question 60: The word they in line 17 refers to... A. a slice of reality B. similar textbooks C. boundaries D. seats Questions 61: The phrase for example in line 19 introduces a sentence that gives examples of.. A. similar textbooks B. the result of schooling C. the working of a government D. the boundaries of classroom subjects Questions 62: Which of the following is NOT true about the passage? A.
